Sounds like the repeat of the show in November which prompted me to start this folder.

Rslover, where did you hear that? There's nothing about it on her site and I haven't seen anything on the AMC pages I track. Thanks. :)

Ok..not really a "couples" story..but she was once a part of a couple. Zora was on The View last week and she is now a spokesperson for NutriSystem. She said she had lost about 18 pounds (seemed like more to me). She looked awfully thin. She said she hated being known as the "fat" one. Too bad that society makes these "stars" starve themselves.

I read about Bob Guiney and Rebecca in the Entertainment section of Page Six recently and it was also on Access Hollywood and Extra entertainment shows last night. They met on the XYZ'd show that she is the host of.

Well, I for one would be happy to look like Zora's "before" picture! :-)

Zora was known as "the fat one"?! I never watched "Joe Millionaire", but I kind of knew who she was, and never thought of her as fat at all. She's very pretty - she reminds me of Kristen Davis of "Sex and The City". It's sad that her perfectly normal "before" body would be seen as fat by anyone. She looks pretty skinny in the "after" picture - not necessarily unhealthily or unnaturally so, but it's hard to tell.

I thought Zora was beautiful and not even remotely chubby, let alone fat. I do remember she was selfconscience about being seen in a bikini. From what I've seen of pictures she has starved herself down to a hollywood chic starving actress look - a la Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz, or Sarah Michelle Gellar.

wow, she looks beautiful in the 'before' pictures. we all know some piggy-wigs on the joe millionaire show took more than one dress and left a horrid one for zora that wasn't her size. just because you aren't a size 4, doesn't mean you are heavy. i think she looks too thin now. turns me off to nutri-system, as a matter-of-fact, that they would pick someone for their spokesperson who was already slim before losing any weight.
they would think i am bigger than a house...

I think she looked good before, but I don't think she looks too thin now. I think she looks really pretty.

Gosh...

I think Zora looked fantastic in both photos. If she felt overweight then I'm sure it was important to her to lose the weight. She should be proud of herself!

I hate that society / media has us trained to think the after picture looks so much better ...... WHY IS THAT? I know she looks beautiful both ways! But I feel more drawn to the thinner photos. It's whacky!

Missy I agree with you. If I see someone such as a Christina Aguilera or Britney put on a few pounds I'll comment that they put on weight even though I know in my mind that they are probably really tiny in person. Or even in the circular ads for stores I've noticed they have gone to a "healthier" type of women modeling clothes. Whereas,I prefer to see the thin models. I think after seeing things for so long you get used to them.

Zora looked thinner when she was on The View, more so than that pic that was posted of her. I never thought there was anything wrong with her to begin with. We are all different shapes and sizes. However, I know that if I am not at my ideal weight I feel uncomfortable even if it is a pound or two off. So I can relate in her case.

i take it some of you are under 35 and don't have kids? :) if i were only a few pounds overweight, i would run naked down the street!
zora is a very attractive woman and i don't feel she was overweight before losing her 18 pounds, but i think maybe she let others' impression of her cloud things. maybe the other gals on joe millionaire were size 2's and 4's? the dress thing was a nightmare and maybe she felt 'fat'? i thought zora was the most attractive, both in looks and down-to-earthiness, but i was not impressed with evan at all! i kept wondering how a nice gal ended up on a show like that.
i also liked the first photo because it looked more real. the second, with her being dressed all in black and done with a white background (actually looks like a cut-out pic pasted onto a white background) seemed 'contrived' to me.
if she is thinner now than even in the pic, she is maybe too thin.

I can't believe Bob is dating Rebecca Buding! She is so beautiful and I just can't really stand Bob anymore! Now I realize why Estella said in a recent interview that she just wasn't 'big time' enough for Bob! When in the world did Bob and Rebecca met? Was it before the bachelor was even done airing?

Oh Greenlee why couldn't you have dated Leo in real life, now he is a catch! LOL (you all my children fans will know who I'm talking about!)

Curious1,
Rebecca is a cutie. Josh Duhamel (Leo) has had a girlfriend he is crazy about for awhile. That's why he left AMC and moved west. So, Rebecca didn't have a chance with him. She interviewed Bob for that show on the Family channel and that's how they met.

When did she do that interview though Rslover? I'm just curious if it was before the Bachelor show was even done airing.

It figures that Josh Duhamel would have a girlfriend he is so handsome! I wish he hadn't left AMC but at least Ryan came back! :)

Tabby, ita w/you about Zora. She did not look overweight at all on Joe Millionaire. I, too, think she had the most natural beauty (in and out) of all the woman on that show. The dress thing was a nightmare and she was left with the last dress.

I think it is horrible that anyone could be known as the "fat one". In a group, there will always be one who is the smallest and one who is the largest.

I think she looks great in both pics.

People carry their weight differently. I know a teenager who just lost 31 lbs. While I noticed the weight loss, I would not have guessed she lost 31 lbs. I thought it was much less. She now looks perfect, not too heavy or too thin. So, 18 lbs. sounds like a lot for Zora, but maybe on her frame it was a good amount for her.

I could not stand "Bachelor Bob" and found him painful to watch. Has anyone heard his album? Can he sing? Something about him just gives me the creeps. Estella isn't "big-time" enough for him? How hilarious that he considers himself big-time!

Inqlings | Philly to become 'Real World'
MTV plans to start shooting the 15th season here in April.
By Michael Klein
Inquirer Columnist

Slacker alert: MTV is fixing to come to town to shoot the 15th season of The Real World.

Though the cable net won't say anything official, we hear producers have a lock on a space in artsy Old City. (You'll know the location soon enough when the camera crew drops anchor to tape the seven young strangers 24 hours a day.) Shooting will begin in April and run through July.

The show's 14th season, from San Diego, is on the tube now.

More reality

Helene Eksterowicz, who "won" on ABC's The Bachelor, and fellow contestant Gwen Gioia not only are in the dating pool, they're in the self-help section of the bookstore this week.

They've written the saucy Nobody's Perfect: What to Do When You've Fallen for a Jerk But You Want to Make It Work. (The title of the $12.95 paperback takes longer to read than Eksterowicz's engagement to cad Aaron Buerge.)

Eksterowicz, who turns 29 on Saturday and is a school counselor from Gloucester City, says all the stories are true and come from their pasts - "but no one recently. No one wants to be in the sequel."

Gioia, 32, an exec recruiter from Chester Springs, jokes that "some people might be afraid to date us."

Cute read, a little male-bashing, lots of top-10 lists. The two are embarking on a book tour; one stop will be 2 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Borders store at the Court at King of Prussia.

Nathalia I feel the same way about weight. I prefer to see people who are healthy looking but thinner people always appeal to me. I know - IT'S wrong. But when I say thin I do not mean Lara Flynn Boyle thin!!

Tabbyking, I am under 35 with no kids. I'm 28. :)
