Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser

when i catch you jillian michaels

I mean… reality tv in the early days! I don’t agree with it all but I’m not shocked. I think Julian Michaels just wanted fame and to look good. College me fell for it. She wasn’t qualified. Bob Harper at least shows up on the doc to talk? And Dr. Robert Huizenga seems sweet.

I remember loving the show back in the day. Now watching this documentary, it was so horrible. The way they can treated the contestants how they would shake the camera if they fell or sat down to make it look like they caused earthquakes to make them embarrass themselves and to starve themselves.

the irony of bob harper having a heart attack while some of the obese people he’s yelled at for years haven’t had one. jillian michaels scared the dogshit out of me at 6 years old and 20 years later she still has the same effect

we as a society are so unhealthily judgemental about weight

Interesting to hear although a little disappointing that most of the interviewed contestants still had good things to say considering how unhealthy it was. Angered at the end though when 2 of the women admitted to currently using drugs to lose weight.
