Seriously, we need that Like buton back. Burlz, thank you!
I doubt there would have been so many people in agreement if we were talking about someone being overweight.

Think Dislike would be more appropriate.
There have been threads about several presenters being overweight and fibbing about their weight. Some of these have been quite complimentary, some not. Several times it has been stated that the extremes are unhealthy and shouldn't be seen which I think is appalling body fascism.
I do not think MB looks healthy let alone attractive, her skin is so lacklustre it creeps me out. JF is thin, by choice and perfectly ok if that's what you like.
I managed to go from blubber to skeletal in a short space of time. I loved that being so thin it meant I could wear anything, how pathetic is that? I have put back a few kilos because I felt dreadful and my face was caved in. I'll never be happy with how I look but I've had some horrible things said to my face (about things I can't change) and I lived. TV professionals with the accompanying egos will live too.
I thought the thread was a laugh this morning and seeing the way some are having hissy fits I am laughing even more this evening. Keep up the good work Burlz.

JR has come in for loads of stick about being fatter than she says she is. In fact it's only since the Beauty Bash where there was universal (almost) agreement that SHE IS A SMALL that she's been off the hook. I'm it's a temporary blip though. There have also been lengthy discussions about other presenters weight, Anne Dawson, Cathy Tayler, Catherine Huntley. Diet Guru Rosa etc etc. Peoples weight is under constant discussion everywhere, I don't see why we would expect this forum to be any different.
Interesting that the thread has turned into a discussion about weight because when I saw the programme that's not what I thought. I just thought what a mess MB looked in that off the shoulder effort, one boob is higher than the other, get a bra in woman you're in your 60's and on TV. And also how self congratulatory they both look in their "muscles take on the world" pose.
I posted a similar thread in QVC's FB with an equally vague comment asking people to caption it. That's turned into a discussion about skinny vs fat too. Interesting!
