    I love the show and so does my daughter but I have to say that LAUREN is NASTY to say the least and I can't STAND her. She is so CADDY and I don't get it as her personality Sucks and she is NOT even pretty at all. Heather and Melissa are lovely. Luke, Please don't hook up with Lauren as you will regret it.

    The show is not bad, but that one girl that crys during every interview is starting to annoy me.

    These women are terrifyingly vulnerable. Will all but one need therapy when the show is over?

    It was awful. Humiliating for those poor women - Parading their Height/Weight across the screen. They don't put bra size and measurements on other dating shows. The women were shown at their most fragile - Like the producers had pushed them to tears...And that's how we were introduced to them? Shame on Fox!

    I actually really enjoyed it! It is more interesting in parts than The Bachelor because of the characters involved.

    I agree with Charlotte T....why did they feel the need to post the height and weight of each contestant???? Tacky! The women are definitely very emotional, but that goes to show what our society has done to discriminate against overweight people, both male and female.

    This a pathetic exploitation of women who have in pain all their lives and are now put in a position of feeling like failures and rejected again !!!!!

    I am a BIG girl and I am glad to see that WE are finally getting our day in the spot light. My only problem is I don't like them showing the height and weight of the girls and the guy. They didn't do that on the Bachelor and Bachelorette so WHY now? We are the same people there is just "More to Love".

    It is great to show that big women also are real and looking for love. The only thing I did not like was the weight plastered on the screen, why? On the Bachelor or Bachelorette you do not see any of that.

    My boyfriend and I loved the show! You can't help but feel sorry for some of the girls who are so weepy, but maybe this experience will help them move past their size. I think it gives larger people a chance to see that they really can find love without being a size 6, I DID!!! I loved Tally! and was soo happy to see her open up so much!

    Watched all the episodes, really getting sick of the girl who cries all the time. I can't even remember her name, so what kind of impression is she leaving!

I hope that therapist who deal with confidence issues are avaliable to the girls so when they don't get picked they get something out of the experience. I don't think that weight is holding them back as much as the way they feel about themselves. It's hard to see someone in that I can't be without you light if all they do is make you feel sorry for them.… Expand

    So I was really excited for this show. I actually even tried out for this show. Unfortuniatly im not 21 quite yet(hold your fingers for season 2). I was so upset that they portrayed girls like myself in such a bad light. Seriously, been on 3 dates?? Never been hit on? Who are you kidding. Theres plenty of guys that like us big girls. There are plenty of confident, fun, sexy, larger woman So I was really excited for this show. I actually even tried out for this show.

    This was not entertaining. It was quite sad. I wish they would've chosen more confident, and better dressed women. I also could've done without the hieght and weight revealed. Ugh!

    Having spent my entire life in the Plus Size Fashion Industry, I am shocked that this show dug up so many women who blame their loveless and often dateless situation on size. I hate to pop a pin in the balloon of theor self-pity party, but we sell millions of Plus Size Prom and Wedding Dresses every year.

    When I saw the very first episode, I said, "I do not like the fact that they have to display their weight and height." And from reading what others have posted, many agree with me. I also am tired of seeing the low self-esteem clips from these girls. You know that that is not what they spoke about ALL of the time. Editing...editing.

    This is really sad! Big women are sad enough and are insecure enough. This show is playing on that sadness! I can say that because I lost 110 lbs! LOVE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE!

    I love this show. I disagree with the height and weight business, I don't see those stats on the Bachelor and Bachelorette so whats up with that? I wish some of these girls had more self confidence. I understand being "heavy" is a issue to some folks, but enough of the crying about it. If your'e not happy just the way your are, then do something about it besides waste tissue paper.

    At the beginning, I thought it would be sad as many of these young women seem to be going through therapy - as they told about their negative dating experiences. But, as I kept watching, it seems Luke, who was comfortable with who he was showed them an example of what was possible. I also liked the fact that he seemed to be sensitive about their insecurities without letting them play the At the beginning, I thought it would be sad as many of these young women seem to be going through therapy - as they told about their negative dating experiences. But, as I kept watching, it seems Luke, who was comfortable with who he was showed them an example of what was possible. I also liked the fact that he seemed to be sensitive about their insecurities without letting them play the victim. Melissa B. who cried a lot at the beginning was more confident by the time she left. It's amazing that while some of the girls were what's considered Plus sizes, some were probably on the high end of Regular sizes but are made to feel their "big" because they're not 2's, 4's or 6's. I like that most of them - Lauren being an exception, seemed to grow from the experience, even though they didn't "get the man'. They realize they limited themselves in the past and unless you allow someone to set small goals for you, you are only limited by your own thoughts. I'm glad the producers didn't drag this out like The Bachelor for 12 weeks. Not all bachelors are as sensitive and caring as Luke, but it sure was a nice way to start a new show!… Expand

    Somehow, the routine isn't as fun on More to Love [than "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette"].

    Too bad host Emme, herself; a plus-size (and very good) model, is rather stiff in the premiere. All in all, more fun than you'd think.

    That Conley is a 300-plus-pound guy comfortable in his own skin helps, as does his genuine affection for the larger ladies. And all of that makes this otherwise-routine Fleiss confection a notch or two more interesting.
