On July 28th “More To Love” will make its debut premiere on Fox Television. The objective of the show is to find love for “average-looking” participants. The producer of the show is Mike Fleiss who is also the producer of ABC’s The Bachelor. In that show one male contestant searches for love throughout a group of perfectly sized zero female contestants. ‘More To Love’ which airs July 28th will however depart from the usual picture perfect contestants and will feature overweight hopefuls. Mike Darnell, president of Fox Alternative, had this to say about the show.
“For six years it’s been skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors, and that’s not what the dating world looks like,” “Why don’t real women—the women who watch these shows, for the most part—have a chance to find love too?”
So what does this mean for a society where eight out of ten people over the age of 25 are overweight? Does this mean that new doors for plus size Americans to make it on television have now opened? Or is this yet another cruel ploy at the hands of network execs to make fun of the ones who are different?
I must say that through this show overweight people in America will be looked as people and not as outcasts.
