I'm sure there are those who will disagree with me on this becasue the reasons why I love it can also be the same reasons why someone can't stand it. I just wanted to know if there is any buzz out there on it.

    Even though it seems heavily edited and directed, it's still funnier than most overly serious "reality" shows.

Don't get me wrong, she's a nice warm-hearted woman, but Feedback and Major Victory clearly want it much more than she does. And eating fatty foods is just not sending a good message to children.

Although her basic message of being proud of yourself is good, there are so many reasons this woman should have been cut. She can't complete any physical challenges (most she doesn't even seem like she's trying), her character isn't no more serious than Major Victory's, and she constantly fought with the other contestants for no reason.

    If Feedback doesn't win this I'm gonna be very annoyed.

    The reasoning made sense to me cuz Major Victory was a superhero parody instead of a funny superhero. I still wanted him to win. I was sure that Fat Momma was trying to get eliminated with the Universal Studios challenge until her breakdown before elimination. I kept thinking "just go on the roof, cuz you're getting eliminated anyway!"

I really liked this show, but if Fat Momma wins, I hope it is cancelled for next season, because Stan Lee is ruining it.

I do hopw Feedback takes it because he seems to have a good origin to his character with a lot of story ideas associated with it. Plus, the guy just wants it so darn much it isn't even funny. Although, I am concerned that he just might start refering to Stan Lee as 'Dad'.
