OK, DRINK EVERY TIME I SAY 'at the end of the day' in this episode.....actually please don't, I don't need anyone sending me hospital bills....

This week I'm trying to figure out if weight loss tv shows are a fun and inspiring form of entertainment, or a black hole of fatphobia and negativity. I evaluate not only the entertainment value of shows like 'The Biggest Loser' and 'Revenge Body' , but also attempt to expose the toxic and biased messages that get masterfully disguised alongside glamorous makeovers and intense workout montages. Are these shows worth the mass following that they've garnered over the years, or is their very existence a trivialized portrayal of the deeply emotional and psychological weight loss process?
