Fox is at it again! More to love can only mean less to like about Fox!

If the caption "LARGER-THAN-LIFE SINGLE MAN LOOKS FOR 'MORE TO LOVE'" isn't enough to tell you the many ways that this new TV show is infuriating to me, then I don't know what would. So Fox (yes the people who bring us Fox News) is starting a new reality show based off of the bachelor called "More to Love". The premise is that people are sick of seeing all these uber "skinny" people on TV and want people that are "normal" sized up there, because as the announcer says "normal sized people deserve love too". As their website says:

"FOX is setting out to prove that love comes in all shapes and sizes with the new inspirational dating competition series MORE TO LOVE. Executive-produced by Mike Fleiss ("The Bachelor," "The Bachelorette"), the unscripted series follows a single average guy with a big waist and an even bigger heart as he romances several confident and secure plus-size women. Each week, the husky hunk will wine and dine a group of curvy women to determine if they have more love to give or if they are truly more than he can handle. When the size of competition narrows, he will have to decide if one full-figured lady will become his true love."

As if it wasn't clear from the description above, this is a show about exploiting the husky hunk and his trove of curvy ladies for their size. The concept of the show has some merit in the idea that yes their are many wonderful people in this world who are not a size 2, are beautiful nonetheless, and able to have love in their lives, but the idea that we need a show to tell us that they "deserve love" and that plus-size people only find love with other plus-sized people is ridiculous. Additionally, Fox is clearly more then willing to point out that these people are "larger then life", "husky", "curvy", "plus-sized", "full-figured", etc. at every chance they get. Thus instead of just letting these people be "normal" and fall in love, they are making it clear that these people are not actually "normal" but instead exotically different different from everyone else on TV and should have their weight pointed out and exploited at every available moment. For Fox to really achieve what they are purportedly putting out as their goal, they should consider just putting some average sized people on one of their typical shows without all the hoopla and spotlight on the contestants weight. I mean god forbid that a "skinny" man fall in love with a "curvy" lady or a "skinny" girl fall in love with a "husky" man. We wouldn't want to promote that now would we???
