Tyra Banks wears a fat suit and becomes a 350 lb woman

[GQ_Confidence_1]

Did anyone else see this episode today?

I've never watched her show before, but I read some buzz about it this weekend....the results were suppose to be "shocking". She dressed up as 350 lb woman and went out in public to see what it's like to be fat for a day.

The whole thing seemed so contrived and set up. The undercover video clips didn't even show much.

She went on a few blind dates with guys...and the first thing she brought up was her weight (basically forcing the conversation into "do you date big girls"). Guys are attracted to self esteem and self confidence and she showed non of that. She looked about 40, and the guys were about half her age.

I don't know....it just perpetuated victimhood for overweight people. Men are pigs! It's ok to be fat, that sort of thing. What about personal responsibility?

What if the tables had been turned. Say a 350 lb AFC was set up with some hot girls. Would he get the same sympathy? Of course not.

No wonder I dont watch day time TV!

Sounds like another episode of Oprah to me.

I saw some of it during my lunch break...

What made it so funny was that Tyra said "it's not your fault" when talking to the two fat chicks on there.

YES IT IS! Don't eat the crap and put some effort into WALKING OR WORKING OUT!

I agree with you GQ, that she forced the guys into the weight issue.

"I'm a big woman." "I can see that." "That hurt my feelings." What...The...Hell!? Just because he has eyes means that he can't say that he knows you are big?

Seriously, stuff like this pisses me off and makes me think that some people do this for attention only.

"I'm fat, cry me a river!" If you cry, I could have steak sauce for a year.

Ho cums, goes
Ho comes, goes.

Ho! Go!



It's like... let's dress up and act like people fresh on drugs, and walk on broad daylight and start conversations with strangers. That'll get some DISCRIMINATION too won't it? Tyra isn't getting it raw and hard, that's all. Those women should stop watching t.v. and start doing something productive like getting down on their neighbors and ****.

I was on the computer and my brother turned to it so I couldnt help but hear so I kinda watched most of it. That part where she went on those dates were wrong because none of those guys seemed that bad until she purposely started asking questions like "Are you embarrassed by me" and "Do you normally date big girls" she basically was setting them up asking all those questions, she didnt have to bring it up the entire date and when that 3rd guy started talking about something else she moved right back to something like "Would you bring me home to your parents"? I agree with that one poster here, it is their fault, unless it genetics or they have some disease or something that makes them fat, its all them. Actually genetics on its own shouldnt count because you can beat genetics in some way. Maybe she would be a little overweight (like Oprah) instead of 350-400 lbs, it would have to be some genetic disorder or something. Those last 2 guys said they wouldnt date her again but they were being nice until she started bring up the damn fat questions all day. I would have said "Why do you keep bringing that up and just enjoy the date? You know guys like confidence and when you keep talking about yourself that way its making you look very unattractive" But I bet if I said that I wouldnt have been put on TV cause that wouldnt have been good for her "experiment"

That's stupid. That's like me wearing 'red' to an all crip neighborhood and acting shocked when I get jumped.

My girlfriend said that she wants to move in with me during college (escape her home life) and personally I have no problem with this.

I told her though that there would be no tv at all. Radio is cool by me but NO TV. She was flabbergasted and when asked why. I told her because tv forces people to be lazy and not want to do anything. At least with radio we can actually dance to something

Radio is . Imagination is . TV is

As to fat ladies, it is mostly their problem because they got lazy(some is caused by gentics but again that is not the majority of the cause). I consider tv a major cause of overweightness because it can't be the amount of food that most women eat like two bites and they are done.

Most stop caring or don't want to care. Plus they realize that their metabolism is changing but don't want to change like some people do. Most are too lazy to do anything about it.

America truely is the fattest country and I swear that most are proud of this fact.
