Huge: There are nine onion rings in this basket…

Does anyone else who’s watching Huge kind of wish they could also watch the fictional Bachelor-for-fat-people show “Love Handles” that the kids at the camp watch? The bachelor hands the ladies onion rings instead of roses! And to test the honesty in their relationships, they tell each other their real weights! How is this not a real show??? I know, I know, there already was a Bachelor for the heavy set (and I’m not condoning that this should exist…) but that’s not the same as the parody that Huge does.
That’s what was great about Monday night’s episode of Huge. Even though it was one of the more serious episodes – the kids had to go through their first weigh-in since their arrival – it was highlighted with these funny, weird moments.

The most interesting concept the episode dealt with was Will’s struggle to come to terms with her own weight loss. She has lost weight. She might even feel good about the fact that she’s lost weight. After all, she didn’t run away from camp and she hasn’t touched her secret candy stash. But she doesn’t want to drink the weight loss kool-aid. She wants to lose weight and be healthy, but she doesn’t want to hate the body she has now. I think Huge is doing a good job of portraying weight loss camps without showing a lot of bias – do you think the show is healthily portraying weight loss, health or body image?
