Did anyone watch the premiere of "More To Love" last night? It's Fox's version of the Bachelor but with plus sized women. I started to watch but was truly disgusted when the women got out of the limo that not only did it say their name, city, job and age on the screen but it also included their height and weight. Why in the world was that necessary???? You can tell by looking at them that they are bigger girls so they didn't need or deserve to have their weight plastered on the screen. I don't think I will keep watching the show because of that.

I also started to watch and was not amused when the height and weight was shown... I'll give it a chance anyway. I like the idea of the show but it will be a turnoff if all the episodes subjects turns around their weight. I identify with these women way more than the people we are used to on reality shows so I want this bachelor version to work. + I think Luke is cute! :-)

I taped the show since I was watching Big Brother but I am shocked to know that height/weight was noted on the screen. How inappropriate.
My weight is the biggest challenge in my life so I do identify with these women.

Weight is my biggest challenge too and completely understood the tears when the girls would describe their lack of dating experience because guys wouldn't give them a chance.

It's not dissimilar to The Bachelor. The girls are all goo goo gaga over the guy, instantly. The guy says he's the luckiest guy in America. Someone jumped in the pool for attention. There was some cattiness from the ladies.

The difference is these ladies are rail thin. I saw the age and height and weight being showed but I didn't think much of it...now that it was pointed out I did a GULP! But I suppose that's the premise of the show.

I'll watch again.

I also gave it a shot, but every time they put the person's name on the screen they put their weight, not just once every time. How come they didn't put they guys weight on. I didn't like it.

They did show his weight,its 330 lbs. I didnt like that they showed thier weights but at the same time,it was nice to see that there are other girls out there with my similar height and weight.

I personally didn't need to see the actual numbers, the weight itself is there for the whole world to see. I didn't like watching the testimonials of the women who couldn't talk without crying. The guy is really cute, tho. :D

Watched Episode 2 last night. There were names, ages and occupations but no weights. It was nice to see that the powers that be realized it was unnecessary for the show.

These women seemed way to needy. It was very much of a turnoff. I am a big woman, but they seemed desperate. It was very unsettling.

Yes,it's sort of sad.Most of them have barely dated and they are putting everything they have into this one guy. The girl named Kristain is so cute-I see her heart getting broken in the next episode or two.

I would like to know if the show dresses them or if it's their own? There was a cute turquoise bathing suit one of the girl was wearing and some nice evening dresses too.

Luke will need to be very sensitive with those girls, some of them are way to fragile emotionally to be in this sort of competition.

I watched this show last night for the first time, I personally think they all know what they are getting themselves into they would of had to live under a rock to not know, which makes me think how much is reality and how much is scripted for ratings? As with all reality shows I wonder how much is act for the camera. I am still up in the air on wether or not I will watch it again.

I do get a little annoyed that its about the weight - however, they didnt show their dress sizes or their weight last night - and I think the girls have said they dont date because of the weight so that is an issue that is the topic for discussion -

ITA that there is a lot of scripting going on - and I would believe that there is a wardrobe department - they are all wearing such current fashions - I wondered how many dresses they brought!!

I think I missed one or two episodes.. just saw a prom thing and a very boring date and noted that they tended to bash each other based on weight.. kinda sad.

Some of them do seem a little needy, but I can understand why. They might be waiting for the big rejection from Luke, since that seems to be what most of them have experienced in their pasts. I think Heather (the blonde who was sick on the boat) is my favorite. She seems to gain more confidence as the series continues.

One thing I really like about this show is the host is not a skinny little thing like most other shows. She has her own website for overweight women and she is a plus size super model.

As much as I feel sorry for the women who never had a date/boyfriend, I hope Luke doesn't pick one of them. I think to marry your first date/boyfriend can only end in disaster imho.

I think he is all about Heather (the one that got sick). They seem to make a nice match.

Christian and Heather both went home last night. It was very emotional.

I have trouble keeping their names straight, but Heather is the one who got sick on the boat and Christian is the one who was so emotionally attached to him from the first show.

What I fear is that he will have fans and end up with some smaller girl at the end of all of this.

I hope I'm wrong.
