Definitely seemed auditiony. But not for MSHLBL but something else. That show is popular and people are amazed that fats let maggots live in their folds, but at some point they were semi-functioning people, like Amber had been (but is losing rapidly) . So it’s possible that’s the focus-how do fats get immobile? People would watch the shit out of that.
So....maybe they are going to do another show about deathfats, but not ones that want surgery. Like a cross between the Housewives, the show about Little People, and the show about Downs people. They can pick a youtuber, a feedee, Tess Holiday, a fat activist and show their Morbidly Obese lives.
The way Amber came right out and talked about her weight (529) without fudging made me think this was an audition, not to mention all the “don’t believe the lies, I’m really a kind person” crap.
The problem she’ll face is she’s not interesting. In fact, they’ll face that with all the deathfats because you don’t have an interesting life and get to be that fat. With other shows they pay for people to do interesting things to film, but it’s hard to do that with 500 pounders.
I just don’t feel like this is a YouTube thing. Calling it casting sounds more like TV than doing something with Shane Dawson. I don’t watch him though, I could be wrong. We’ll probably never know because Amber won’t be a winner, in keeping with her life. She’s way too uneducated and can’t get through a few minutes without mispronouncing something. Of course, maybe they want a stupid fat lesbian.
Having a camera crew in your house for days on end is incredibly intrusive. She won’t like it. And neither will the gays, especially Rickie.
