Anybody else think Ricki Lake is hot, hot, hot? I stumbled across a few minutes of her on that Game Show thing in prime time last night and was reminded why I occassionally watched her reprehensible day time show. She’s a cutie. Never had a problem with the big gals, and she’s not big anymore, just normal sized. But it’s really her face. Something there gets my attention. That sharp jawline? Voice is cute too… Anybody? Am I alone on this? ---

I wouldn’t go so far as to say she is hot but I always thought she was rather cute after slimming down. ---

blech, no way. Even with her slimmed down she’s not my cup o’ tea. Yeah, theres some big girls out there who are cuties, she just not one of them. She’s on par with Monica Lewinsky. ---

They say you have to bottom out before you can begin to recover. You hit bottom and keep right on going. Ricki Lake?! She could have a head _and_ body transplant from Jessica Alba… and she’d still be Ricki Lake deep down. ---

Her personality (outside the talk show) makes her more attractive to me than otherwise, but I wouldn’t say I’ve got a crush on her or anything. ---

I thought she was cute in _Hairspray_, but everything I’ve seen of her since then has cured me of any such interest. ---

I once spent an evening with her socially. (She was the date of a friend of mine.) In person she’s a tremendous amount of fun. And definitely hot. ---

I’ll go with a distinctively pretty face. I noticed it when I watched the end of the game show. I turned it on when I saw that Brande Roderick was on. Now, she’s hot, hot, hot. ---

Ricki Lake = Hot? = NOT. Cute enough, but just doesn’t trigger that “potentially slutty” vibe oh so necessary for hotness. ---

You all are crazy. I thought she was hot as a confident BBW, and possibly even better-looking now. I have no idea what show she’s on now, and I never even watched her old talk show, but she still seems like she’d be fun to know… and to do other things with. ---

No, not by _any_ accepted definition of **hot**. She is doable though, under certain circumstances, which is an entirely different thing. ---

I’d say not hot, but definitely attractive now that she’s slimmed down. I’d give her a 7, and there’s no shame in that brotha. ---

Ricki definitely fits into the small, zoftig and vivacious category, which is a category I kind of like.

Post-weight loss she’s kinda cute, but nothing special. ---
