Maybe I have gone up a size or two since then, I don't think its that noticeable. I mean its not like im gonna enter the banquet room followed by a title-wave!
This really hits close to home for me - not only have I been watching this show since I was a little girl, but my name is Suzanne, and like her, I've always had problems with my body weight wise. Watching this and seeing Delta Burke be so funny and sassy and full of life and still, in my personal opinion, extremely beautiful even while being a bit heavy makes me feel better about myself. I'm proud to share my name with such a great character!
I love videos on YouTube where gay men are bound to gather. Wouldn't you know, there are always a couple of queens who find something to cat fight about and it almost always has nothing to do with the original video. Like, say Tyra Banks for example.
That the problem with US society. Healthy woman are ridiculed while skinny anorexic types like Tyra Banks are held in high esteem and are the standard to which all people need to aspire to. Excuse me that is just wrong...women like aren't real, they're beauty freaks and they make real women seem some how inadequate. Well, I don't buy it. In reality, them skinny bitches are sick and killing themselves.
sweetie when' s the last time you watched Tyra's show...she's not anorexic by any means! have you seen the episode where she let it all hang out...just remember to check your facts before spouting...have a good day
Boobalopbop, trust me I never really look at women's bodies BUT honey, have you ever seen the first season of this show? Or "Filthy Rich" or anything Delta did in the early '80s? She had a beauty queens body and then some and she in fact a pageant winner check out her bio! Not to mention she has always been gorgeous just to quote Julia in the same episode "that face speaks for itself!
I think the thing is if she never had a perfect body, and her role on the show was that of a beauty queen with a perfect body, her weight wouldn't be an issue. Shes beautiful as a big woman, but compared to the way she was... Its tragic.
I love Delta. and I thought it was just awesome that she had all the "fat" jokes in this episode. if you deliver the jokes you really take other people's power away. Also I loved that as she got bigger, Suzanne got funnier!
Delta Burke can sure make me laugh!

That fat and fabulous line was pure comedy, the writers were clever and it took Burke sassy execution to pull this off.

Delta was like a friend to all of us who love her no matter what size she was.
After all it's the size of a persons heart and soul that really matters in this world anyway.

Fine-looking woman...she never looked very fat to me, although in the Eighties, anorexia was much more mainstream than today.

Delta was the only woman to win an award for this very episode!!.
I love them all, watched them for years, know every line LOL and still have to laugh and giggle while watching them.
It's like being around my Mother, sisters, aunts and cousins.
Just sitting on the side, the young boy kinda forgotten about for a minute.
For me it's like I'm going home.
