Who's idea was it to use 'Fat Bottom Girls' for the heavy women tonight?

That shows a bizarre and subversive sense of humor. I wonder how many people they offended.

I loved it. That was the best part of the episode.

I thought she looked pretty good when she was all dolled up, actually.

I had to laugh at those "plus size models" in the pool. Whatever. Real plus size models just look closer to normal women than the regular models. Those women in the pool were fat. They'd be plus-plus-plus size, if such a thing existed.

I am pretty subversive, I laughed at it.

I think the plus size girls should have got out of the pool and danced and sang along to Fat Bottom Girls with Ripley's assistant!!

This show was great. I can't believe they shut it down already.

I agree with arwen407. Using Fat Bottomed Girls in the poolside scene with the plus-sized lovelies and hottie sexpot employee strutting her stuff was brilliant! Fun, sassy, and LOVED IT.

And, like the show, not everyone may have cared for it, or may have felt "offended". But it was DIFFERENT. And clever. And kept your attention. Nice touch, and a shame that we don't have the chance to see other ways this show would get people discussing subtle nuances like this in future episodes!

In this day and age, I am HOPING the completed episodes will get released on DVD. With Jackman's allure, you never know!
