Wanted More....
by S. Whidby (Milledgeville Georgia)
I love Ruby and her show. she has made me get back to taking care of myself and making the changes i need to live a better life. But, the book left me wanting more. It mostly went over what was seen on the show, with the expection of letters written from her friends. I did like that. But just because i love her and the show, i am still glad that i bought it.
5/5
very good dvd
by J. Lewis (midwest)
We really enjoyed watching this dvd as we had not seen any of those first few episodes of Ruby. It is reasonably priced and we felt we got a good value. But, watching it once was plenty, now I have a gently used dvd for sale.
2/5
Not The Full Season
by johnsolel
This DVD includes only six episodes and not the full season. If you're looking for the entire season don't buy this ... Wish I had known. Below is what is included on the DVD.
Episodic Insert
1. Meet Ruby - Ruby Gettinger is a loveable 500-pound woman from Savanna, Georgia, who has fought obesity her entire life. In this one-hour introductory episode, her doctors tell her that she will die if she does not lose weight.
2. Romance for Ruby - After a six-year absence, Ruby's ex-boyfriend Denny Starr, returns to help with her diet. Ruby's friends, Georgia and Jeff, are skeptical.
3. Ruby Hits the Road - On a trip to Los Angeles to see friends, Ruby experiences the challenges of travel for a severely obese person, and reflects on motherhood and whether the opportunity for children has passed her by.
4. Ruby's Revelation - During a hectic and fun-filled week with a high school church buddy visiting from out of town, Ruby gets back on track and gets a special spiritual boost on her diet from the congregation of her church.
5. Real Women Have Curves - When Ruby's L.A. buddy, Brittany, comes to town, they try to give Ruby a new look, but can't find clothes. Ruby organizes a support group she calls "Women's Fat Night" and convinces a design team from her Savannah College of Art and Design to create Ruby's new look.
6. 100lbs. Of hope - Ruby convinces her roommate, Jeff, to take her and her best friend, Georgia, on an outdoor camping/fishing trip. With the help of her therapist, Ruby tries to confront some lost childhood memories.
3/5
5 Stars for Ruby, 3 for the DVD
by G. Havarti
I love this series! I hope Ruby reaches her ideal weight, and I hope we are invited along for the entire journey. This lady is so endearing, I would watch a series about her at any weight. Therefore I was excited to hear I could purchase a DVD of Season One - and disappointed to see that only six episodes are on it. Cable seasons are short, so I am puzzled as to why the three omitted shows ("The Temptation of Ruby," "Ruby's Secret Storm" and "Who's Driving This Diet?") weren't included. As for the extras...they are seriously lame. (My rating for the extras alone would be ONE star.) The "Fitness" section is the best, and it's not even very good: three quick segments with Ruby's trainer, Reese, and three even quicker Billy Blanks Jr. segments that look like advertisements for his online and On Demand workouts. The other two Special Features selections, "Health & Diet" and "Fashion," are extremely disappointing. They comprise a total of five minutes, six seconds of "Reflections" by Ruby, plus one short written checklist of four state-the-obvious tips on how to purchase clothes. If you love the series, keep watching it on Style. If you are expecting a full season and great extras on this DVD, don't go there.
5/5
I love this show!
by Destin Dude
Hope to see MORE episodes! Keep Up the Good Work Ruby! Fresh TV not your typical storyline for reality TV. This show really made me think on how I treat people. Ruby is so sweet and genuine and to see people treat her like crap for being over weight made me so mad. People can be so mean..I felt so sorry for her. I'll never see over weight people the same. Thanks Rudy for the change of heart.
