Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser | 50% Facts Review

From 2009 to 2020, The Biggest Loser was a phenomenon. A huge cultural moment.

What it wasn’t, however, was a show about healthy lifestyles and healthy weight loss.

Netflix’s Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser examines what it was like for some contestants on the show and some members of the production. The push to keep the show in the spotlight wreaked havoc on lives, relationships, and, in some cases, health. Does the documentary series exploit the contestants in a similar way to the show did?

Josh Hajjar, who has personal experience with significant weight loss, joins in as guest cohost. You can find Josh on Instagram @amazingjrab https://www.instagram.com/amazingjrab/.
