I hate how he assumes that these girls were mocked all their lives, or they didn't go on many dates, or people didn't want to be their friends, all because they are heavy. I mean, did the casting call say, "If you are lonely, have never had many friends, were usually the butt of all jokes, etc, then you are our girl!" Just because someone wasn't a size 00 (like stated before) doesn't mean they were complete losers in high school. One of our most popular girls in my high school, who was head cheerleader was a heavier set girl. I just hate how he keeps making these assumptions.

Also, I hate to say this but, the one girl on here is a "Fitness Trainer" and she is on this show. While I'm sure heavier set people can do that job, I feel like for a show where being heavy is emphasized, it seems a bit of an oxymoron, at this point.
True, but Im sure the casting directors chose girls with that in mind - by taking note of the girls who leaned towards this stereotype. they cast the most self-depreciating, low-confidence, "OMG a man has never told me im pretty" women ever. and no man wants a chick lacking confidence - fat or regular sized.

Plus, listen to these chicks blabbering - the one who went on the horseback riding date just started sobbing about how shes never been able to open up to a man before, etc. then the girl before that (in the boat, at the seafood restaurant) is all like "he's giving me the best gift - hope."

ugh - every time Luke hugs them or kisses them or says something flattering, its waterworks and "OMGZ im falling for him."

theyre making not only fat women look sad, but women in general. if anything, it shows that these women are no different than regular sized women - theyre looking for validation through a man's approval.

[off feminist soapbox]

so the women who get sent home - they can't cry about being booted because theyre fat, right?
When i saw the "Fitness Trainer," my instinct was to think "is she supposed to be a mole?" mind you im just tuning in so im still feeling it out.
