    Nope.

    I'm pretty sure I'm still OK in spite of it.

    Neither have I... I heard negative things which make me want to watch it even less... I've heard that they make the contestants gain more weight before the show begins, so they can have better, more impressive results, and that their way of "helping" these people shed the weight is not something that you can keep up with long term (unless of course you have 15 hours a day to work out) so they all end up gaining most of it back...

    Ditto.

    I don't actively seek it out.

    Nope. But I have seen Fat Club UK. It was inspiring when I was a teenager with no knowledge about health and fitness. Less inspiring now I'm older and wiser.

    I watched the first two seasons - it was new and unique at that time, but I was horrified that they made the women contestants stand on the scale with only a sports bra and tight shorts, and the men were shirtless. - that was unfiltered reality TV.

    After joining MFP and understanding a sensible way to lose weight and exercise, I found the whole concept of TBL unreliable. I know people think it's cool to lose 100 lbs in eight weeks - but that's not reasonable for the average Joe or Mary to do. Never watched it since.
