Well of course fat people are going to get into reality TV fairly frequently...  it's a way to "live" without having to be able to walk without pain.  And of course reality TV is mainly going to feature thin people with pretty faces, because that's what most of us like to look at, including most fat people.  I think they have much stronger reasons to consume this sort of entertainment than they have to be offended by it, though surely many of them are indeed chronically offended by it on some level.  But they must be very much used to ignoring chronic pain, or else they wouldn't still be fat.  That level of pain isn't something that's going to turn away a fat person from their short-term pleasures, whether those come from food or from reality TV. Sometimes I look at /r/thebachelor...  I got into that series a bit a while ago and have been distantly following it since then.  It's fun sometimes to read people's discussions about the shows, but once in a while somebody actually posts a picture of themselves (usually because they managed to meet a person who was on the show and get a photo with them) and it's always a disappointment to me, because the redditor is always fat, while, of course, the celebrity they're posing with is always lean.
