I'm not really blown away by Cookie at all. I like that she's not afraid to call out buffoonery against plus-sized people, but I just never fell for her. Maybe she was too snarky for me. And I sho' didn't care for her 31-year-old-grown-behind-man-abusing-his-power love interest.

I'm going to rip the band aid off and come right out and say that I did not like Cookie. At all. She was an angry and unhappy person when she was fat, and still quite an angry and unhappy person when she was skinny. She was capable of being as cruel to others as they were to her.
