Mo'Nique's 'Fat Chance' on Oxygen

[jitterbug13]

If anyone can pull off a full-figured beauty competition that turns out to be a network’s highest rated show, and come back for a second helping – it’s Mo’Nique. During an interview with Black Voices, Mo’Nique talked about her experiences launching ‘F.A.T. Chance.’ “No one’s ever questioned Tyra Banks,” she said. “That’s my girl, I am so proud of her, but no one has ever said, ‘Why do a show like this?’ Because that’s what’s considered beautiful.”

After more than 2,500 auditions nationwide, 10 plus-size beauties were selected to head to L.A. for “Beauty Boot Camp,” a series of mind/body/soul training exercises, and then go on to compete for the second title of “Miss F.A.T. (Fabulous And Thick.).” The full-figured beauty queen debuts her second 2-hour premier of ‘Mo’Nique's F.A.T. Chance’ July 15 at 8 p.m. on the Oxygen Network.
