Caught the aforementioned episode

Caught the aforementioned episode of Flipped yesterday. I think that their candidate - a 15-year-old girl who never, ever wanted to be caught dead hanging around with a fat person - was a good choice. She was very focused on looks, and thought fat people were slovenly, ugly, and so forth. She was outfitted with a fat suit, a big double chin, and a special wardrobe - pretty ordinary stuff. She wanted to walk around with a bag over her face because of her big cheeks and chin.

She was led around for the day by her producer, whom wasn't a small woman herself. It was interesting to note how this girl felt weird being stared at, and also how she was treated in a clothing store - cameras were able to catch other customers' reactions to her wearing an outfit, and they said it all.

The entire segment is very much worth watching, and I hope that this experience stays with this girl. If you've seen it, share your thoughts in the comment box!
