FOX Planning Plus-Sized Reality Show
According to the New York Daily News, the FOX network is making plans for a new reality show called More to Love.
Mike Fleiss, producer of The Bachelor, is slated to produce this show in which, according to HollywoodReporter.com, contestants are, "average looking people."
FOX's Mike Darnell said, "For six years, it's been skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors, and that's not what the dating world looks like. Why don't real women -- the women who watch these shows, for the most part -- have a chance to find love too?"
Darnell and Fleiss, who have worked together in the past, developing Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire, believe the viewing public is ready for a plus-sized dating show.
Darnell said, "It may be a little controversial, but I think it will mostly be positive. This is so simple and so obvious, yet it has never been done."
More to Love is currently in its casting phase; however, no official release date has been set.
