This week we have something delicious for our BBLs. We’re doing one big round juicy segment with our angel/tormentor Big Ron aka Ronald Young Jr.!!!!

The topic? The Biggest Loser documentary Fit for TV. Which brings us to...

🚨CONTENT WARNING 🚨

Discussion of: the fat shot drug, people sometimes getting less cute when they lose weight (scream emoji), and extreme diets and extreme weight loss.

Boy oh boy does this doc not hit any particular mark!!! But I guess we’re here to pick up the scraps and go a little deeper on the horrors and introspection that the doc kind of skimmed right on over (girl, people DIED on this TV show!). Have YOU seen the Fit for TV doc?? Let us know your every thought! deartextmeback@gmail.com
