Trying to support family makes me sick to my stomach

So my husband's cousin is one of the dance instructors on Dance Your Ass Off. I figured I'd watch it to support her, but had to shut it off after just a few minutes.

One: All of the people in the show are short.
A lot of you out there are saying, "so what?" First of all, weight loss/gain is much more apparent on those of a shorter stature. Secondly, members on the show being short makes the folks like me feel like a total fatass. One girl on DYAO was talking about how fat she was now that she was 205 lbs, and she was HUGE. I was so uncomfortable in my 295 lb. frame that I had to ask my husband if I was that big around.

Two: It's all just a touchy-feely puppies and rainbows show.
That's all that I got from the first episode. Everyone was just happy and playful. I wonder if it will get any better, but not sure if I want to watch another episode with such a sour taste in my mouth.

Three: The dance instructors are way too into themselves.
Yes I'm glad that they encourage these overweight people to dance and get fit, but when it comes time to perform, they really get into themselves on tv time way too much.

These are just my opinions, and I needed to do a little bitching.

I refuse to watch that show, based solely on the ads. The host chick is the most annoying thing I've seen on TV since Screech was on Saved by the Bell. I think it's the teeth.
