The Bachelor Goes Plus Sized
What do you get when you cross The Bachelor and The Biggest Loser? You get a new show on FOX called More To Love. I guess it really doesn't have anything to do with The Biggest Loser but it sounded more cool that way. I don't think anyone is losing weight on the show. It is all about a plus sized guy like myself looking for love amongst plus sized women. I love it. I just wish it wasn't on FOX. The reality shows on FOX have not really been the warm and fuzzy reality shows. They tend to go for some kind of shock value and I just hope that whatever shocks they have in mind don't portray plus sized people negatively.
I think they should just do a straight up plus sized Bachelor type show and that should be it. The reader who sent this to me, included a quote from the local FOX anchor in his market who said this about the show. "Since it will be on FOX, you know this will be done very tastefully."
That is why I am scared. The show is being produced by Mike Fleiss who worked on The Bachelor and Bachelorette and also has worked on High School Reunion and The Cougar (Hi TV Land). I went through his IMDb page and I don't see anything horrible other than the fact he is in fact related to Heidi Fleiss. But, thankfully she is not hosting.
I think that viewers will get into a plus sized love story or fake love story for people wanting their 15 minutes. Television doesn't need to be all about skinny people, because skinny people are not all of who makes up this world. People are going to love identifying with more realistic contestants. So, count me in when the show starts airing at the end of July. Wow, I can't believe I just plugged a FOX reality show. Must watch Temptation Island tonight.
