I saw a 30 second clip of the show at some point this weekend, and OMG.

Oh I would never actually watch the show.
Hell… I wouldn’t watch a reality shows with Hot Ass Skanks with lots of Ass & Tits falling out all over the place….let alone watch a show about unattractive overweight folks.

In the clip I saw they were all on a beach and 3 big ass chicks (who were all in huge beach dresses) started rubbing bacon grease, Crisco or somethin’ on the dude who had his shirt off and he was even bigger then they were. Just Nasty. It took about 4 hours after seeing that clip before I got my appetite back!

Um, sandy, you know you can write to your little heart’s content over on datingisweird.com. If you’re afraid of our readers, I could even slip the editor a fiver to get them to moderate the mean ones … ? eh? Eh?

Maybe Luke is just constantly referring to the “girls” on the ladies’ chests?

Classy synecdoche for the win!

Yeah, I can imagine those girls get all swept up in the immediate subculture of what they’re involved in and just lose themselves entirely. But it’s still weird.

I’m 30 years old, a bit of a tub, and would not, in all the future of humanity ever ever EVER go on that show. Nor would I bare my upper arms like that on television. But that’s because I have some dignity (the arms part, not the show). (Okay, the show part too.) I’m in a dating desert, mostly because I’m in love with someone who refuses to date me because he thinks he’s too old for me (seriously, I cannot address this on my own blog because he has access, and I cannot appear to be as psychotic about it as I actually am). (I swear, I’m not this psychotic in general about guys, but I have every right in the world on this one.) But my point in starting this is that there is love out there, even for the fatties among us, and it almost positively does not come from reality shows, and it DEFINITELY positively doesn’t come from that douchebag. I wouldn’t give that guy the time of day under any circumstances. I wonder what casting for this show was like, because these women are just like the women on every other reality show like this, except there are about a kajillion more of them (to love). See what I did there?

Yeah, actually, you (and maybe I) would be the worst reality show participants ever. Can you imagine us screaming every time we saw Tyra or hooking up with everyone in the “Big Brother” house or pulling some poor girl’s hair on “Real World”? Although, maybe something animalistic kicks in when the TV cameras are around, and you can’t even help doing what they want you to.

I usually stick to women when I respect the people I'm talking about or chicks, broads, sluts, and whores when I don't. But these seriously are girls to me. They're so immature and . . . underdeveloped. Except in the chestular area, ifyougetmydrift. I think I like your husband, though.

You and your fat hate.

After finally watching some of it, I have to agree with Kamran that it’s a depressing show. Addictive, yes. But still depressing. Although, I find just about all reality show dating show contestants depressing.

Seriously, could you ever imagine me on one of those shows? As much as I like attention from boys, I would lose complete interest in the guy the second there was any competition. If he even entertained the notion of being interested in someone else, I would walk away so fast and find myself someone who only cares about me.

I love this trainwreck and the sobbing, slightly hysterical “girls” on it.

Luke constantly calls them girls and it drives me nuts. Some of the women are in their 30s and as my darling husband mentioned, “all shop in the WOMENS sections.” Hardy har har.

Yeah, the anonymous hating has mellowed a little bit in the last couple of weeks. Someone thinks Serial is paranoid, egocentric, a terrible writer, and basically a giant turd floating in the internet pool.

Wait until there’s a new Dear Serial. The Serial hater extra-hates those posts. Can’t imagine anyone less qualified to give advice. (Apparently they missed the memo on that being the point of the Dear Serial column …)

This is literally my favorite thing you’ve ever written.

Bravo.

I know you like a little . . . cushion for the pushin’ . . . ?

I also know you don’t include MY crying in that.

I totally agree about the “she’s old enough to be your mom” girl, and her terrible accent only added to it. Although I know you’re surrounded by that sort of accent, so maybe it doesn’t bother you as much. How about Kristian? Definitely one of the best reality show characters ever in my book.

Also, OMG, you must not have had any carbs today, because you totally said pastabilities. CRACKED ME UP.

Sounds like I would almost like the show, except crying disgusts me.

What? No. I just caught up on the last four posts that hadn’t read yet, but I don’t see any anonymous hating. I see plenty of anonymous, but it doesn’t seem hateful.

I’m pretty jealous. The only really negative comment I’ve ever gotten was something about how my snatch smells like shit, but it was on my MGMT entry, so I figured someone just wasn’t a fan.

i love this. i couldn’t have said it better. i seriously loooove that show because it makes me giggle every time one of them cries. i am in the same boat as you: by no means am i thin [though, i'm not a huge fatty], and i’ve always been able to find love. i mean, it hasn’t always been the grandest of love, but i’ve had it. and i have it now.

but seriously, two things. that girl who’s a virgin and went on her first second date with him and was like, “pastabilities, that’s what i see from where we’re sitting. endless possibilities.” wtf? and number two, that stupid girl who was like, “omg, do you know how old that woman is, old enough to be your MOTHER. doesn’t that BOTHER you?” i would’ve voted her off immediately!

You should be afraid of DIW readers. They’re MEAN. Have you seen my personal, anonymous hater?

The thing s/he doesn’t seem to get is that even negative comments are still comments, and I lourve all the attention.

And I promise I’ll help daub your wounds if they hurt you. You know, insomuch as I can through the innerwebs from Oregon.

Oh, no, this post was actually a passive-aggressive attack aimed specifically at you.

I’m a liiiiiiiittle scared of the datingisweird.com readers (and probably even moreso the writers), but hey, I knew what I was getting into when I said that, so go for it. But if anyone goes for my jugular, promise you’ll be ready with a turtleneck.

You may boycott it now, but we both know you’re going to buy the season on DVD when it comes out. And a backup copy just in case one of the discs gets scratched. It’s okay. I won’t tell anyone.

I love “NYC Prep” so much, too. They have to have a second season, right? I hope P.C. gets his own spinoff show in LA a la “The Hills”.
