Oh HELL No

I was flipping channels tonight because I am one of those people who can't bear more than 5 minutes of silence (duh) and stumbled across what may be the 3rd or 4th most ridiculous train wreck of a television show idea.

But first, might I just say, considering my cable bill is healthy while my vacation fund suffers from the recession, WHY IS THERE NOTHING ON TELEVISION EVER?? Except for the wee hours when Oblongs and Chowder make an appearance, or maybe I catch a sleepy glimpse of Murder She Wrote, my choices are the equivalent of nothing but healthy snacks in the vending machine. "Unscripted shows" are ok with me, but dang, must you show the same episodes 4 times in a row??? Can't you fire a camera man and produce more? It's not like you pay writers or anything.

Anyways, the show I landed on simply because of its sheer audacity was some piece of interesting wreckage called "More to Love". You see where this is headed...

First, the bachelor's suit was too tight. I assume to call attention to the fact that he was 330 lbs, which I learned whenever they had a "confessional"-type interview with him and flashed it on the screen. Worse was that for every bachelorette date-candidate, they felt compelled to put their stats up as well while they were sharing their hopes and dreams with the production team. I mean, really! I'm gonna sit and tell you how I feel about being in my 20s and having never gone on a single date and you post "Jezebel Smith, 5'2" 340 lbs" over my chest area??

And then, at the promise ring ceremony, every woman to a woman was not wearing a dress with sleeves. Every plump woman I know avoids arm cleavage to the point of obsession, yet here are 30 insecure, blubbering women with nary a shawl, wrap, sleeve between them.

OK, past that, the tears and complete disillusionment and suffering the rejectees showed to the camera (and thereby the world) was simply embarassing. I mean, just because you're fat does not mean you will never get a man. Let's be real: plenty of skinny women don't get men either. One thing has nothing to do with the other.

So I am wondering if this is going to air another episode. I wonder who is watching this and what they are thinking...
