Why are all the contestants on Deal or No Deal morbidly obese?

Is it just me? Does it just seem this way?

Is it because the shows promoters think this is the perfect cross section of American audience relates to?

they pick people who are "less fortunate"/they have a genuine reason why they are on the show......i dont see how that relates to their weight, but yeah...

Eh.. I classify as being "poor" as far as those things go (as I'm sure others on the forum do) and I doubt they'd let me on because I look too fit.

The one I'm talking about, she was from Minnesota or something like that, and she was Hanson band fan.. They came out and "help" her choose the cases.

I've only watched it for a few minutes before every Heroes episode, but I'd call them morbidly stupid rather than morbidly obese...

She's the first one that came to my mind. And her husband was a marine recently back from Iraq IIRC.

A good percentage of people in the US are morbidly obese. Especially poor people.
