    good find. I don't find the skinny super models attractive at all.

    I've watched many of these episodes (although most on Youtube have been pulled. The BBC website has some great clips from the show.)

    I wonder how people on MFP feel about the techniques they use to help the supersize/superskinny individuals get back onto the healthy track. One episode was particularly tough for the supersized person (who I always feel bad for). She was given only oreos and some soda for dinner! I feel like living this way for a week would be awful.

    Also, what do people think about how they show a weeks' worth of food to each of the "contestants?" Many think its a waste of food, but I think if this is what it takes to get people to realize their unhealthy under/over eating, so be it.

    Looking forward to hearing what people have to say about this show- I'm a huge fan of how the BBC are creating shows which address bother super sized and super skinny.
