Wordiezett So much average

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

diamondsareagirlsbestfriend 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.

stevemyers11 Ruby is the only honest show I've seen on TV! She is helping so many people. I just wanted to tell everyone how Awesome I think Ruby is. She made me search deep inside myself. I too lost some years of childhood due to abuse . I lost My family because I was honest with them. I had to tell them the truth, but just like Ruby's family they pretend not to know anything. Ruby has been the best therapy I've had. I am fearful for Ruby and what she may find out. I hope she is strong enough to make it! She makes all of us strong. Just go to Ruby's Face Book http://www.facebook.com/RubyonStyle and read how many lives she is changing. I believe that she is guiding us all along on her journey. If you have any addictions or hurts please watch Ruby she will change your life! I'm so proud of Ruby and think she is doing a awesome job for us all!

leecake89 "Ruby" is a reality show. Reality for Ruby means not only losing the weight, but also trying to find out the truth of obesity and what it means in her life. There is so much to teach about this disease. The Biggest Looser is instant gratification TV. Several of those contestants gain the weight back once they no longer have the 24 hour support from trainers and nutritionists. If you had compassion, you would see that the contestants are put through hell and mentally beat down to lose weight. Obesity is a symptom of abuse. Those contestants have beat themselves up mentally their entire lives and suffer more abuse from trainers just to make a TV show for your viewing pleasure. Ruby is undergoing intense psychotherapy while learning how to exercise and cook for herself. She is not at camp 24 hours a day sheltered from society. Ruby does not get her meals, trainers, or counselors for free. She is living her life in the real world, teaching herself and others to not be afraid of change and to face their biggest fears. She has more courage and strength than anyone I know. Ruby is inspiring people to face their addictions. What could be more inspiring than that? I hope I have inspired you to learn something about addiction and obesity. You may even learn a little empathy and compassion along the way.

LovelyLabrys For those wanting facts, figures, statistics and advice, this isn't really the show for you. If you are wanting a show that focuses on the psychological cause of a persons obesity, again this isn't the show for you. There are elements of those things in 'Ruby' but they are not the purpose of the show.The reason that i love the show, and that it has been such a help to me, is that it just follows the everyday life of a lovely woman on her weightloss journey.So many of the things that are minor issues on weightloss shows are actually major issues in the life of obese people, and this programme shows that. Accessing building, sitting on the sidelines while your friend take part in activities, standing in waiting rooms because the seats are too small etc etc. The show allows us to celebrate each small struggle and victory along with Ruby. Buying her first pair of jeans is very emotional to watch.We are all used to seeing people fighting, and winning the weightloss battle. With Ruby, the empathy factor is huuge, because her experiences are our experiences. When she struggles for so long and then overcomes, we feel that we can overcome.It is rare in the it shows that concerns and experiences of the family, friends and professionals who go along on the journey with her.
