I can appreciate the reversal of conflict...
in the relationship of Michael and Carlos. I am closer to being a "Michael" than I am any other character. Most commonly, it is the chubby guy who is gonna wrestle the most with insecurity in his relationship with a chaser. It was nice seeing a strong grounded chub, secure in himself and his relationship, while seeing the CHASER as the insecure mess.
And before anyone brings it up, I didn't see Michael's decision to undergo lapband as a battle with insecurity so much as it was a battle with discrimination.
