in Health and Weight Loss
Does anyone else watch this? I am quite literally entrenched in this show. My favorite season would have to be the sixth. Yes, I know, there are tons of cliche and popular opinion health bites in there that are not 100% accurate, but overall it's really good , I think! It amazes me how extreme some are and how limited others are as well! Man I just love this show!

    Take a shot every time they make a subtle insult at the United States.

    Love that show!!! Didn't know it was still around. We don't have it in the states, so I'd catch it by other means online. I'll have to look for more episodes!

    interested....do you watch it cuz you like it or cuz it is anti -American (my impression from what you said earlier) and it feeds an itch you have for being cross at anything that might be pointing an admonatory finger at the influence the USA has on the rest of the world. Have to admit... if it is the latter... I empathise... cant stand generilsation myself!!

    I watched it simply because I like it. I'm not 100% certain how influential the US is on the rest of the world. I certainly wouldn't watch it if it was "anti-American"... considering I am American

    OMG! I would not have guessed that he was going to change that much. He did a good job. I hope he can keep it up though. I found it disturbing that someone sent him donuts with shards of metal in them. I thought he was a nice guy but the women he was paired with came across as a kind of a Bi@tch.

    ETA: My laptop suck's...typing is almost impossible.

    Love this show. My fav part is when they put all the food they ate in a week in the big tubes and the look of horror on their faces when they see the other persons, hehe

    I also watch The Fat doctor and embarrassing bodies. Britain has some pretty entertaining shows I must admit. Love them!

    Hate that show. How on earth can watching one person's bad habits help another person's bad habits???
