Ruby

You might actually cheer out loud when Ruby Gettinger, the show's bubbly heroine who once weighed 716 pounds, pulls on her first pair of jeans. ''This is a new world,'' she says between grunts of denim yanking. ''I do not know how girls do it. Lordy, I do not get it. I am sweatin'!'' Just wait until she rags on ''chubby chasers'' or dresses down her friend's son for ordering fried rice. But when things get serious — like when she talks about her missing childhood memories — Ruby will feel like a friend you can't help rooting for. B+

2010 NBA All-Star Game

I have the hugest crush on Steve Nash. He's sensitive (read: short), artsy (read: long-haired), and super popular (hey, he was voted onto the All-Star team). For those reasons and not one more, I hereby give the Valentine's Day present of watching the All-Star game to my husband, Steve. Love you! (And, uh, that other Steve, too.)
