I saw it too and actually enjoyed watching it. I plan to watch it again next week. I give her Kudos for coming out with this show. She's been slammed for years in the tabloids for her weight!

I think it is pretty cool myself. After years of Laura Flynn Boyle, Calista Flockhart etc being used as 'beauty icons' (gag) it is nice to see the other side of the coin.

I say, so what if she is heavy - It's her choice. If she loses weight - Kudos to her - but she's also pointing out in her show how Hollywood agents and people in general treat fat people. I once saw a show where a thin girl put on some fake padding to look fat and went out in the street to pretend that she was having trouble getting into her car. She was ignored by every man in site and this was filmed right on the street. Once she went back in and took the padding off and went back as her normal weight men ran over to help her.

Well, at least THEY were on somewhat, watchable shows unlike this one.

I agree. There are men out there who go for really big bods. I'm not a big fan of the Kirstie Alley-sized myself, but why overlook this demographic of fellow males just because the entertainment industry is fashioned after Miss Anorexia?
