This Summer, 20 "real" women (I guess that settles the debate about what to call women over the size of 12) will have a chance to find their love stories on Fox's reality show More to Love. Based on the new promo, the female contestants feel that their size has kept them from finding true love and they're turning to reality TV to change that.
The dating show will feature "a single and eligible man with a big waist and an even bigger heart as he romances several confident and secure plus-size women."

Writer Raina Kelley makes the point in Newsweek this week that reality shows must go out of their way to dig up women that fit practically every negative female stereotype. She writes:

Having seen The Bachelor more seasons than I care to admit, I will say that having a bevy of women vying for your attention looks more fun for the man than 25 30 men vying for a woman's attention. (Here are the guys.) Watching Jillian walk into a room full of boozed-up bachelors wanting to talk to her made me uncomfortable for her. No wonder she was sucking down those Chardonnays.
It's hard to break-dance in a white, form-fitting, charmeuse gown.
Some men really, really identify with their jobs.

Chodes, douchebags, tools — call them what you will, but for some reason, there's always a gaggle of women willing to date them and put up with their crap. That's what the creator of the amazing site Hot Chicks With Douchebags and — coming this Summer — MTV's Is She Really Going Out With Him? reality show found out the hard way.

One of these three reality show losers got cut from this week's episode of Design Star on HGTV. I think it's safe to assume that most of us missed the show, so let's take a wild guess: Which one of these designers got eliminated and promptly cried out for Mom? (Michael on the left, Tracee in the middle, or Matt on the right.) Now, don't be too hasty .

The Paper is one of the new shows in MTV's teenybopper reality show lineup. I initially thought the program would serve as an enticing way to get young peeps enthused about a nonathletic, extracurricular activity — one that promotes civic awareness, community involvement, and writing proficiency. I should have known better.
