MTV to debut plus-size reality star
Thereâs a new MTV starlet in town, but this isn't just another Lauren Conrad.
The network will debut a new reality series in October , and while it features a familiar premise â girl moves to a big city to pursue fashion â newcomer Chelsea Settles is not only battling the transition, but also her weight. She weighs 324 lbs.
The network describes Settles, 23, as "a new kind of MTV heroine.â The show will follow the recent college grad as she arrives in Los Angeles from a small town near Pittsburgh, and will chronicle issues like her long-distance boyfriend, social phobias and weight loss.
The docu-drama appears to be a viewer-friendly blend of reality dramas like âThe Hills" and weight loss programs like âI Used to be Fatâ or âThe Biggest Loser.â
âChelsea Settlesâ premieres with a special hour-long episode on Oct. 11 at 11:00 p.m ET, and you can watch the trailer here . Will you tune in?

MTV's Newest Reality Show Stars 23-Year Old Chelsea Settles—She ...
Looks like MTV is jumping on the plus-size fashion reality TV bandwagon—this October, the network will premiere Chelsea Settles , a show starring a 23-year old who moves to Los Angeles from her small home town to try to score a job in the fashion industry. So far, so The Hills , right?
Just one catch: Chelsea weighs 324 pounds.
We've got a sneak peek at the Chelsea Settles trailer (check it out after the jump), and from what we gather, the series will follow her on interviews, meetings, social outings, and training sessions (what would an MTV show about a larger person be without the weight loss component, eh?) and will document every joy, every tear, and every struggle as Chelsea embarks on her chosen career path—a journey that's no easy feat for anyone, but made even more challenging because she's a larger woman who wants to work in a superficial and image-driven industry.
We can't wait til the season premiere.
