Chelsea Settles

So many opinions have been aired about the show Chelsea Settles. Most have been good but some have been erroneous in my opinion.

One blogger stated that they were disappointed that it was not more about the fashion industry. In all honesty, it was never meant to be about the fashion industry, it was to be about a young woman and her struggle with weight loss.

What is surprising to me is how much more we get from Chelsea. Yes this young woman is struggling with weight. Yes this young woman is attempting to make a career for herself in the fashion industry which is notoriously image conscience.

What we get with this show and it's rather naive and sheltered star is more. We get truth. Yes, I understand that this show is made by the same people that made The Hills and Jersey Shore. Shows notorious for their less than "real" reality. But there is something special about this show. At least about it's star.

Chelsea is honest and open. I cheer for her and cry with her. I want her to win and succeed.

The last episode had her going back home to be with her mom after she had her kidney and pancreas transplanted. Her mother does fine but Chelsea feels like she can't go back to California. Her guilt is belayed by her aunt and cousin that reminder her that her family is around to take care of her mother.

In recent pictures Chelsea is noticeably thinner so we can assume that her weight loss has been coming along nicely.

We look forward to seeing more of what this uniquely honest reality star brings us.
