2009 Summer TV Preview: More To Love

This Tuesday Fox will premiere their new dating reality show More To Love. The series follows a group of plus-sized women as they compete for the affection of 26-year-old Luke Conley. The former college football player will have a chance to get to know these women and hopefully find true love.

From the looks of this series (based on the clips below, anyway) , it’s just like The Bachelor except the women are more full-figured and their weight appears on the screen whenever they talk to the camera.

Below is Fox’s show description:

More To Love, the new dating competition show from Mike Fleiss (The Bachelor), follows one regular guy’s search for love among a group of real women determined to prove that love comes in all shapes and sizes. The inspirational new series, hosted by iconic supermodel Emme, premieres Tuesday, July 28 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Luke Conley is a 26-year-old former college football offensive lineman who stands 6’3” and weighs over 300 pounds. He’s a successful sub-contractor and real estate investor who has his sights set on building a long-lasting relationship. Luke’s ideal woman is intelligent, passionate, down-to-earth, full-figured and comfortable in her own skin.

This eligible guy will have the chance to find the woman of his dreams when 20 voluptuous ladies vie for his heart. These unique women have careers ranging from waitress to teacher to lawyer to rocket scientist, but they all have one thing in common: They are also looking for love.
