What Would Happen if She Lost 10lbs?


Now, let me preface this by saying I am a giant fan. I don't normally enjoy many female comedians. But, I think Rachel is one of the funniest people on the planet.

I like that she is representing realistic, plus sized women. But, sadly our society is not as a whole very accepting. With the terrible ratings, I am curious what would happen if Rachel sized down between season 2 and 3. Until recently I was against this idea because I was worried she might lose some funny if she were skinnier. But, catching up on her earlier music videos where she was clearly a lot lighter, she doesn't lose her charm at all. So, what do you think? Would ratings improve if she slowly worked on her body throughout the next few years?

Obviously she should only do it if she actually wanted to. But, if she loved to exercise and had pretty easy control over her weight, where do you think she should ideally be for her career? Heavier is funnier? Or lighter for more universal appeal?

'Plus size'?!

She would be 10lbs lighter...?


Personally, I think she is spot on as is.

She'd still be sexy as hell.

But with society's obsession over weight, I can see what you're getting at. Perhaps she would be seen by people who normally wouldn't see her, but I think part of her charm is that she doesn't have to be a model to be attractive. I'm sure part of her fandom revolves around how she can be normal and positive.

Seriously? Plus size?! Haha!
