I'm new here but have been lurking for a few weeks. What I see going on with this show is that the initial novelty of seeing a 400 lb woman dancing and observing her dating practices, meeting her family, her friends, etc is wearing off a bit as things naturally do. So what we've basically got here is a woman who seems pretty unemployable and very immature, and is struggling to stay interesting enough so that her show isn't canceled. Or dad will be paying that mortgage! The obsession with contacting all the Jewish boyfriend's chubby GFs seemed really forced, for example. My phony meter was going off on that one.
