Seemingly in response to a wide call for more diverse bodies on the show, producers cast Alexa Lemieux in the second season, who, in her first introduction, said that she could stand to lose some weight. In the same season, Abhishek ‘Shake’ Chatterjee enraged so many of us when he tried to gauge how big his date was by asking if he’d have trouble lifting her up. In the midst of all of this discourse, co-host Vanessa Lachey said that people who fall outside conventional beauty standards had been probably just too insecure to progress on the show.
