I am a big reader of the headlines on yahoo, and this one caught my attention this morning.
It may not relate to what we have been learning but I thought I would post it, and those of you who are fans of reality tv may get a kick out of it.

I think this an interesting direction to go in for the bachelor. They are going to get average looking women to go on the show, instead of the classic size 2, beautiful model. If they are going to use an average woman, then shouldnt they also be using an average man? Instead of a "Biggest Loser" meets "the Bachelor", how about "Average Joe" meets average woman?
"More to Love", this title can be taken in two different ways. There is "more to love" than beauty and looks, or you can see it as more to love of the woman, because there is more of her in a sense.
Way to go Fox, always finding a way to insult those who may not be the best looking.
