Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser
For people who watched the wildly popular weight loss competition reality show The Biggest Loser, this 3-part docuseries is great: lots of behind-the-scenes drama, where-are-they-now updates, and sharp critiques. Aubrey Gordon of Your Fat Friend’s commentary was especially good.
Seeing some of the worst examples of the show making a spectacle of obese people–like pushing them to work out to the point of vomiting–made me regret ever being into it. Hindsight is the clearest vision.
