I think the reason why Kimberly and others (Vanessa and Josh) were told to lose weight is because they are all on the borderline between what society sees as small and big. As the guys used to say in college, they are all one cheeseburger away from being fat. As far as Ruben, he's just big. There is no in between. Most people wouldn't look at him and say, "Oh, if he lost about 20 pounds, he would be fine." The same as if Frenchie was in the competition. I don't think Simon would have mentioned the weight to her either because it's part of who she is and her "image". Whereas, the others would be more marketable small. You have to have something that's working for you. You can't be the chubby kid on the block.
