This is the most disgusting show! The outfits these women wear are too much to stomach. God bless you all for losing the weight, but, COVER IT UP! No matter what you say, grossly over weight people in skimpy outfits is beyond disgusting. There is absolutely NOTHING sexy about it. I watched one show and I puked. Get this awful show over with and don't repeat it!

Or Marie, maybe get off your lazy a** and change the channel?

How offensive!

Wow guess you missed the point of the show. They aren't there to be sexy trad. You can always put your puke bowl aside and amble on over to the tv and change the channel. America. Free to choose your viewing prefences

I like the show at least the contestants are trying to loose weight. Watch something else if you don't like it.

Lsmason

You have to look at it for the humor value Marie.

Tubbies are making asses of themselves for your entertainment. See the bouncing rolls. See them shaking what their mamma (and the local pie shop and years of overeating) gave them.

LOL, TELE-TUBBIES ALL GROWN UP!

If you like to show or NOT -- if you like the people in it or NOT -- if you like the CONCEPT of the show or NOT --- is a choice.

I do have to say tho that the previews for it were running for like a month BEFORE the show came on soo you kinda KNEW what you where gonna get when you tuned in. like others said -- don't like it - you don't have to watch.

just a thought
b

Honey, they're not doing it for you, they're doing it for themselves. It looks like a lot of fun!

Watch if you want, but don't complain.

If you think it's so disgusting, then you shouldn't watch. I actually think it's a great thing they are doing.

Ummm no! I actually only need to lose about 15 pounds. That is my husband's year of birth. You should know what you are talking about before you say it.

I think it is actually good for them, Thy get to see what the looked like starting off and what they look like as they lose the weight! When u see whats hanging out it kinda gets you in the mood to lose it so u can look good in the outfit u started off in.

Ok really
if its so disgusting to u then get yur lazy butt up and change the stupid channel. these people r changing thier lives for the better and they dont need people like u degrading them and making fun of them ok?
seriously grow up

Man, you guys are all so mean. I hope you aren't so rude and hateful to people you actually know. I guess it's easier to call people names and hate on them when you don't actually know them and they can't defend themselves. Wow.

Better to be mean than sick. How sick is it to wear what the custard-guts wear and jiggle that stuff around.

This crap was pulled off the air in Australia after *one* show. Even our retarded TV execs realised that DYAO is a festering turd of a show.

You go right on changing that channel, kiddo! It's a free country.

It was poocanned in AU after one episode was heartily mocked by all who saw it.

ok now that is just so rude. and its so mean. why would you say that. this aint for no damn amusement. its for themselves not you. yall know so much about this show and have so many comments, it seems to me like yall watch it every time it comes on. you must be a fan leaving comments on message boards. wow change the damn channel.

I don't care about the dancers... at least they are trying. I hate the fat host that is getting paid to look even fatter than the dancers.

I wonder if anyone actually stops and thinks anymore before opening their prejudice little mouths. It definitely doesn't seem that way from these posts. No one cares to understand where the concept of hating overweight people came from, or when exactly being overweight became the most unattractive physical quality someone can have.

One of the first works of art found on this planet was a sculpture called the Venus of Willendorf (Venus being the Goddess of Beauty). I highly suggest some of you go to google images and do a neat little search for a picture of it because back then, women like those on the show were the ones getting the guys and the skinny girls were the ones pouting in the corner. In the Renaissance, the ideal woman was pear shaped, small breasts and large hips to symbolize fertility. Even in the last century the ideal woman was very different. Marilyn Monroe was the end all and be all of female beauty, but if she went into a modeling agency today, Janice Dickenson would make sure to tell her she's a fat pig.

Why has it changed? Well, in my opinion about 90 percent of the cause is our capitalistic nature...meaning money money money. Telling the women of this country they are beautiful the way they are isn't very profitable for all the companies who supply us with make-up, anti-age cream, nail polish, hair dye, diet pills, diet foods, expensive clothes and plastic surgery. All those industries would go bankrupt if you stood up and said, "I decide what makes me beautiful," but instead you sit there and try to fit in the bubble that our society has set forth for you, and when you don't fit you are expected to hate yourself for it.

If you are opposed to overweight women feeling confident in a normal dance costume, then fine, change the channel. But maybe stop and think if that is your opinion, or an opinion that was pressed upon you with your mindless approval. Oh, and maybe you could tone down the hatefulness. There is this wonderful thing called compassion, and a lot of you could use a shot of it.

Marilyn Monroe only weighted 140 at her most, and that was only for about a year in 1960, they made her lose weight for Somthings Got to Give. She wasn't really fat at all, she was beautiful, even at her" heaviest". As well as the women on this show are.

Thats another thing about this show, it shows that society is wrong about women who are overweight, because these women are still beautiful!! All of them are gorgeous!

We shouldn't be on here debating "fat people", they exist, get over it. Blame society, blame them. WHATEVER; Everybody has 'issue', maybe you're an alcoholic! We can't see that until about ten years pass and your liver spots show up. It doesn't matter. They're baring themselves(literal and metaphorical) on national television! I doubt you(the haters) could ever do that.
They're trying to get healthy, and thats GREAT!! I love them for it! (even though part of the competition is for a prize, it still counts, they're winning....)



(We also cannot debate to make a person compassionate, or understanding. Somtimes people have to go through their own tragedies to make them see clearly... and even then it may only make them that much more hateful and ugly. Thats THEIR problem, that nobody could EVER fix, they live with that FORVER!!)

If you dont like the show....then why are you even watching it? Atleast these BIG people are trying to do better for themselves and lose some weight,start eating healthy. There doing it for themselves not for you or anyone else! And they are not on this show to make asses of themselves for other people to have some entertainment. Atleast these big people aint scared to get up there and show what they got, and learn how to dance,lose some weight! So everyone needs to quit with the rude comments on the show. IF YOU DONT LIKE DONT WATCH! GET OVER IT..GO LOSE SOME WEIGHT YOURSELF! INSTEAD OF TALKING CRAP ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE!

ARE YOU UNHAPPY WITH THE WAY YOU LOOK, IS THAT WHY YOU INSIST ON MAKING FUN OF OTHERS? TO MAKE YOUSELF FEEL BETTER? WOW THAT'S PRETTY SAD. AT LEAST THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAY THEY LOOK. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHOW THEN DON'T WATCH, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE OTHERS FEEL SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT THE WAY THEY LOOK. RIGHT NOW YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING ABOUT WRITING ME AND TELLING ME THAT YOU DIDN'T DIS THEM ABOUT THE WEIGHT, BUT YOU DID DIS THEM ON WHAT THEY WEAR AND CALLED THEM DISGUSTING. YOU MUST NEED HELP WITH YOUR OWN APPEARANCE IF YOU HAVE TO TRASH OTHERS TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL GOOD. WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR I HOPE YOU SEE YOURSELF FOR WHAT YOU REALLY ARE, A SORRY PERSON. BY YOUR POSTING I'M GUESSING YOU BELIEVE IN GOD. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? FROM WHAT I KNOW, PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD AND THE LORD ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ACCEPTING OF ALL PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT THEIR SHAPE, SIZE OR LOOK. LET ME KNOW IF I'M WRONG BECAUSE I'M NOT A RELIGIOUS PERSON AT ALL, BUT EVEN I KNOW THAT.

WOW MAY I JUST SAY BRAVO. I'M GLAD THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN THIS WORLD. IT AMAZES ME TO HEAR ALL OF THE RUDE, UNCALLED FOR COMMENTS PEOPLE MAKE TO OTHERS ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCE. I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY THAT PEOPLE ONLY MAKE FUN OF OTHERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SELF IMAGE PROBLEM. THIS WAS WELL WRITTEN AND NICELY PUT, NICE JOB.

The only disgusing thing about this show are the judges prejudice in favor of a guy who hasn't danced better than the gurls...It's one things to not hate on the gays but to give them an edge because of it is worse and so sad and evil, those gurls spin, jump lean back have amazing posture and do more foot work in HEELS than Ruben and they praise him as if he has done better than Shalia or Pinky even Alicia is better than him now his Partner makes him look great with all her mores but he is in no way doing better than the Lady's I'm sorry girls they choose their winning already its the Ruben because of his story being gay and his partner John recovering from cancer the good stories always win so since this is taped and not live I thought I'd send my apologies now this is so unfair but thats reality TV whatever keeps ppl comming back. How dare they give him a Perfect Score when Shalia bet him and everyone BAD last week and this week and Pink did also Alicia does more floorand footwork its obvisous to me my 7 friends who watch I know they make ya'll sign contracts not to talk bad about the show like all the other contest Just thought you should know theres at least 7 peeps on the westcoats feeling your Pain I give you ALL 10's
JUDGES BE FAIR!!!
