Oh please, you can't name Anne Maria as example of a desirable "fat girl". Her waist size is about 1/5th of her hipsize, she's not fat. She was literally designed after Jersey Shore girls, those girls are known for getting breast (even butt) implants and liposuctions. Katie literally told Sadie that everyone liked her more because she was the pretty, skinny one. Leshawna's size and curves where used as a joke plenty of times (only Harold seemed to find her attractive besides herself, which is supposed to be "the joke" she's that loud fat girl who overestimates herself thinking she's lucious. Same for Sugar) and Staci was pretty much designed to be despiced in every way to justify her early elimination. Beth was confronted several times with being ugly and Jo even gets mistaken for a dude while she is the only female contestant with a somewhat realistic body. Also Blaineley isn't thin, she wears a corset. It was joked about that she had to hide her fat and wrinkles, because in reality she was sooo ugly. So even though it could have been much worse I wouldn't go as far as calling the "plus-sized" girls treated progressively.

With Lindsay, Dakota and Anne Maria I can understand the design cause they are literally based on a "lust object" type of girl. But it's IMO the "standard" TD female body that's the problem. Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Bridgette, Izzy, Katie, Zoey and even Eva all have a toothpick waist, big boobs (especially for 16 year olds) and enormous hips.

Same can be said about the TD guys, 16 year old boys don't have the giant shoulders, big chest and small waist like DJ, Geoff, Duncan, Trent and Justin do. Not even jocks that train daily would come close to their impossible muscle proportions.

I know that it's a cartoon and the body proportions of cartoon characters tend to get exaggerated to make the characters personality more outspoken, but I repeat it's the "standard" TD body type that's the problem. A toothpick waist, big boobs and humungous hips are the standard for girls in TD and Broad shoulders/chest, six pack abs and tiny waist is the standard for TD boys. While it would be better if Jo's figure would become the standard figure for girls and Shawn's figure the standard figure for boys.

Although I do have the impression that it's getting better with each new cast. The ROTI cast was a huge improvement over the original cast and the Pahkitew's are even better. So it's definitely moving in the right direction.
