I am in the process off re-watching Season 7, and now I am watching Dollhouse and something is really bugging me.

Eliza is SO SKINNY now! Faith in Buffy s.7 was so voluptuous, and she had the cute little dimple in her chin. She was curvy, but fit, and it was one of the things that made me love Faith. She was no Buffy skinny, with Michelle being so petite, but she was a normal, healthy looking girl.

In Dollhouse, she is so thin, it's hard to recognize her. She no longer has the endearing dimples, her neck is long and thin, but in a sickly way. Her bust line has gone down and her arms are near skeletal.

Am I the only one who thinks she looked a hell of a lot better before, or do you like this skinny, Dollhouse Eliza?: erm :

She's definitely lost weight since Season 7. Maybe she's been working out more to get in shape for this role. That's not saying that she was out of shape as before, of course, but maybe she just decided that Echo needed to be more svelte than Faith.
 
Yeah, I noticed. Especially in the episode that aired tonight.
Though, I've noticed the same thing about all the female Dolls. They're ALL super-skinny, so I think it's probably an element of the female Dolls and something Eliza had to shape herself into to fit the role.
I still think she's incredibly sexy, though.
 
I actually liked her more with a bit fat on the body. Come on world!!!! Curves and a bit fat is sexeh! It's saying healthy, but not health maniac
 
I recently posted a vid of Nurses (the project of Eliza's before) and she is definitely more voluputous in that show...but she is still very sexy, but I guess that's Hollywood for you 🙁
 
I think she looks more beautiful than Faith S7.

I always think Faith in ANGEL S4 is more beautiful than Buffy S7 even it was in the same time. Maybe it because the outfits and make up in BtVS is worse? I dont know. ^.^

And I still can see her cute dimple chin in DH.

And I just watched The Alphabet Killer for a minute ago. She's skinny and her hair has is too flat. 🙁

But Eliza's Eliza. Always hot.
 
I think if you look at all the girls in Buffy they've all got a lot smaller!. I think with Eliza its just more noticeable but i don't think she looks that bad really sure she could do with a couple more pounds but she's not that skinny.
 
I always appreciate a woman with more curves - skin & bone is NOT sexy to me AT ALL - which is why I've never crushed on SMG. Buffy -esp the last 3 seasons - was so damn skinny, I wanted to feed her Oreos & cheeseburgers.

But Eliza Dushku... she is my FAVORITE girl crush. She's so sexy, she makes me want to play for the other team! 😉 Hot-hot-hot. And while I do agree she was more voluptuous in Buffy, I don't consider her "too skinny" for Dollhouse. But I do hope she doesn't get SMG-skinny. That would break my hormones!

You can feed me Oreo's and cheeseburgers ^^ And, I agree with you, too :)
I also noticed that Eliza's gotten a lot skinnier, and it saddens me. She was so pretty how she was, with a bit of curves and everything. But I am happy that she's at least skinny in a fit, sporty way, not the skinny-because-I-don't-eat-anything of, for example, SMG.
 
Yeah, i did notice she'd got alot skinnier...but not trying to be horrible (because super skinny size 0 women are not sexy at all!)but it sort of adds to the effect...ok just hear me out. I thought that they put her in clothes that made her look skinnier when she didn't have an imprint...it sort of made her seem more vulnerable and helpless...like she needed someone to protect her because she couldn't do it herself....but i still think she looked much better in season 7 of buffy 😀
 
Maybe expanding the topic from Eliza specifically here, but someone mentioned that all the girls on Buffy seemed to get skinnier as the seasons progressed - e.g. SMG is a bit curvier in season 1 and then becomes skinny afterward. On the other hand, the guys (Xander, Angel, Spike) get substantially heavier over the course of the buffy/angel seasons. I always wondered if the producers had a double-standard towards the male and female actors - female actors have to stay skinny, okay if the guys gain weight. Eliza in s7 Buffy actually comforted me slightly in that regard, since i could then think that the others were a coincidence (Cordelia's pregnancy weight not comforting, as they basically wrote her out in season 5, which some on this forum have partly blamed on her weight gain (see AS3 threads), and others on her wanting time away to spend with her new family, so i don't know why they couldn't write her back into season 5. But if Eliza was asked to lose weight for DH, then that would remove the comfort. It might all be coincidence and freewill, but it does seem a bit odd that the women lose weight (unless pregnant) and the guys gain weight as the seasons progress. I hope that it's all just coincidence and nothing to read into that.

I heard in a few interviews that she decided to stop drinking and work out more on her own, so that's probably the main reason for her weight loss.

I still think she's absolutely gorgeous, but I did like the way she looked with a little more weight on her. Still, I don't think she looks sickly skinny like SMG did in the later seasons of Buffy...it looks more like she exercised a lot.
 
Alrighty, I thought she looked good in Target...but she is really super thin and I could definitely see it in episode 3. It's not just her though. All the girls...especially Sierra are like stick figures. Eliza is sexy...no doubt, but she looks like a teenage girl now. Not a woman.
 
Yeah, she has lost a lot of weight. Very noticeable in episode 3. But hey, she will always be a hottie. 🙂
 
I noticed that when she had the bra on in "Stage fright" She loooked super skinny, but it doesnt really show that much if shes wearing clothes. I presume she would have to loose weight for the role becauseit requires alot of physical stuff, but i wouldnt mind if she gained more weight either.

That's a little harsh.
I mean, not every skinny woman has starved herself to be that way. Some (like me) just naturally are, no matter how much they eat.
Some people are at their healthy weights at a size 10. And for some, their healthy weight is a size 0 or 1. I think healthiness is sexier than a certain weight range.
