Obviously someone with a well-rounded life would probably never go on the show. But the thing is, when you see the folks go home and see their lives, they are the black pits of despair they end up talking about in their interviews. Many of the folks over 30 are happily married (after all they go on and on about their spouses being the love of their lives) and most have children. Being fat hasn't stopped them from building a meaningful life for themselves.DC Food Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428554295599199941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140336419916874888.post-16708196145294760422009-05-11T17:46:00.000-04:002009-05-11T17:46:00.000-04:00I haven't watched this season, but I know at l...I haven't watched this season, but I know at least one of our fellow blog friends is a loyal watcher and I'd love to hear her take.<br /><br />But, my assumption (which is always dangerous) is that part of this might be because of who the pool of contestants are. Not many people with established careers and full lives are able to take off the amount of time required to go live on a ranch for a reality show. In some ways, it reminds me of the Real World casting problems - you're not getting a really diverse & successful pool of potential contestants just because of the structure of the show. My thoughts - prove me wrong?Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024186205791001584noreply@blogger.com
