See, 50% of why I like you, Tracie, is that you talk so much about farts.

And that french onion soup thing almost made my choke. Hilarious. #eightisenough

Is this interesting? Really? I thought that television was supposed to be an escape, and now it's becoming this meta, omnipresent version of The Hills and its staged reality. It's permeated everything. There are no longer any lines between real and fake. I am simultaneously homicidally outraged and so bored I'm about to faint.

If I wanted to see terrible self obsessed people get in fights and almost break up, I'd get my boyfriend and I drunk on red whine and just look at ourselves in the mirror as the magic unfolds. #eightisenough

Can't live with the guilt of emotionally abusing Hailey. Can live with guilt of leaving wife with 8 young children and embarking on a spree of douchewaddery.

Got it.

ETA: My favorite is 11. Mary is a fixture in life; I remember getting high in high school and watching her and John Tesh. Awwww yeah.

Didn't Hailey say on the Insider that she doesn't ever wear makeup. That she isn't even sure if makeup runs when she cries? This is like the fifth time I've seen her on t.v. this week with clown makeup.

Are they getting paid for these interviews?

Also, my eyes are burning. I should probably go watch Frontline or something.

@mfnher: Of course they're getting paid. There is NO WAY that they would do all these interviews for no money. They're hawking this relationship for all it's worth and I'm starting to think it's all just an act and a ploy for him to make money without doing the show or getting a real job. #eightisenough

@mfnher: May I suggest that everyone and go watch a whole season of "This American Life" on Showtime (can be purchased on itunes as well) for some good old fashioned good tv, with delightfully wrought, intelligently written stories of lovely people who ARE NOT THESE PEOPLE.

@zendonut: I saw season 1. Has season 2 already come out? I must say, I really only see these characters on Jezebel and The Soup. It's just good old-fashioned schadenfreude. Well, except for the 8 innocent kids and all.

Perhaps I am a bad person, but I think this new part of the saga is incredibly amusing. He finally realized he's a douche, and everyone else thinks that he is, too, and that he probably was better off before. He can't back pedal fast enough, but it's just so hard because Hailey is high on fame-itis, and she's going to run this out as long as she can. Har har har, Jon. You are soooo screwed. #eightisenough

Please, don't get all harsh on me for asking about this. It seems several, if not most of the comments express some degree of pity for the women on this show. Is that the same reaction I could expect to see for the contestants on The Bachelor? Just wondering.

So 90% of me is convinced that Luke is a skeezy shady character. HOWEVER, 10% of me wonders if he's thinking "Hey, these girls don't normally get a lot of positive reinforcement on their bodies, so I will give that to them and they will feel better." Perhaps misguided, but I could see how maybe he's just trying to emphasize and convince them (and most of them DO need convincing) that he finds them physically attractive.

Wait, hang on. Was this show seriously pitched to be called "The Fatchelor?" Why not go fully stop and call it 'Feeding time at the zoo?" because fat people can't find love, on TV or otherwise?

Oy. Forgive me if I am late to the party here, but I haven't paid any attention to this show.

Yesterday the local Fox affiliate came into my office to present the fall lineup, and during the conversation this show came up. It's sad, because the way the man described it sounded awesome. He said it was all about having normal looking people on this kind of show. It made me forget what the show was actually like. I think he needs to watch an episode and realize that the editing does not treat these people as "normal."

@CollegeCamel: Whether its crafty editing, or the actual sentiments of the participants, I find the clips of the women talking about how much they love Luke because he "isn't embarrassed by me," disturbing. Like, ooh! He'd be seen with you in public?? He MUST be a keeper!

These are all strangers getting together under weird pretenses. It's disturbing to me that the women consistently like this guy because he likes their bodies. How is that any less shallow than someone disliking them just because of their bodies? Likewise, how are they not shallow if their attraction to him stems only from his response to their bodies?
