Good concept, poorly executed.

Dreadfully Boring

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I admit, being a hard-core junkie reality TV fan, I watched the first two seasons of this show on Netflix over the weekend. And while I love an underdog-beating-the-odds story as much as anyone else, by the time I was done watching, this woman really got on my nerves!I do not look to take anything away from a woman who has taken control of an ugly addiction in her life. Ruby really made positive changes, has terrific friends (not to mention hot roommate Jeff), and has a creative mind that helps her to overcome plateaus and challenges.Still. The incessant WHINING. Ruby's voice constantly sing-songs its way through every complaint, every triumph, and just about every turn that her life holds. RUBY.. if you are reading this, go back and watch your reruns. This is a serious flaw that can be fixed with a little effort.That, and her annoying habit of using euphemisms, rather than just telling it like it is. "I'm so HACKY." "What the HELICOPTER." "I'm going to the Christmas doctor." Really? A grown woman who can't say the word 'gynecologist'? Seriously? The immaturity of the language is unnerving at times. She often made me want to shake her, and tell her that she makes the average 12 year old look more mature than her.All in all, I can't give it an all bad review, as the people in Ruby's life are intelligent, entertaining, and have engaging personalities. The next time I have nothing to do on a weekend, and when more free seasons are available on Netflix, I'd probably give it a go.

A delightful reality show with heart felt commentary. Ruby has a personality that pulls you in and you are on her journey. The show focuses on a woman's perspective of being obese. Ruby, in her Southern Savannah style, smiles, jokes and cries her way into self discovery. Ruby Gettinger enjoys life. She is not ashamed of her weight,which is refreshing. Most reality TV shows stars seem to be victims. Their drama stems from the victim's plight to remain a victim. Ruby is not a victim. Ruby just smiles. Yes, she has issues, but she seems to meet them head on. A refreshing change in television.The photography on the show is wonderful. The shots of Savannah are captivating. Makes me want to live there!

Ruby's show changed my families life. I am happy to find out she will be back March 6. Why does Style take so long to show Ruby? I wish I could see her weekly it helps me to stay on track. She is an amazing girl! The best thing about Ruby she is walking the journey like the world. I would love to meet her one day and thank her! I think losing that amount of weight is great, but she will hit a wall because of her emotional issues have a major impact on weight gain and loss. What amazes me about Ruby she never gives up. The idea is to grow on this journey and that is what she is doing. Ruby's weight can come off and that is hard work!I support Ruby100%.

I love the Ruby show. It's the only show on television that tells the truth about weight and addiction. My mother is very overweight and I am the opposite. I starve myself not to be like her until I started watching Ruby. Ruby has helped me and my mom come together and fight our addictions. I want to say that no one knows how hard it is to be someone like Ruby, myself or my mom unless you experience it first hand. Ruby allows us to watch her fail, battle and win. Fighting an addiction isn't always successful like other shows and commercials try to portray. She is very real. I had a life-changing moment watching her show last season! I love Ruby I love her show, she is fighting very hard and so am I. My mom and I went on vacation for a week and my mother ate just like I did and gained over 20 pounds. I felt so bad for my mother. It isn't fair for people like my mom and Ruby. I know people that had the surgery and than lost it and gained it all back, there is so much of addiction then any of us realize. Watching Ruby will change your life. Ruby is hilarious, real, intriguing and beautiful! The most important thing about Ruby is she spills out her soul. Watch Ruby I promise it will change you!
