Lizzo et ses Big Grrrls

As a skinny girl I have never experienced anything these girls have been through but I was able to understand and emphasize with them while watching this, Lizzo is such a good rolemodel and she's a great host for the journey these girls are gonna go through

So after saying all of that this show is legit BADASS the dancing is phenomenal they all dance very great and you have intimate moments with the girls and them accepting and respecting themselves and their bodies this is a very body positivity show it's mainly about Lizzo looking for new background dancers for her performances and tours and she wants to get dancers that are big girls well they put it as grrrls and I love that, and it's sort of a competition show for the 10 spots Lizzo has for her background dancers and 13 girls are brought in and they have to basically compete for the 10 spots but during it they all learn to grow with eachother and bond till the end when it comes to whose securing the 10 spots so the girls stay in a mansion together and you just see day to day each challenge they go through. And of course there's some drama but it doesn't take over the whole show or of how every episode is.

So I Really Recommend it whether your skinny or big or whatever, this show will still make you feel positive about yourself regardless and I love seeing a show that showcases big girl bodies and how girls live with it and embrace it so yes I really recommend it, Everyone should give it a watch I guarantee you'll like it or at least enjoy it :)

I've never written a review for imdb before but when I saw the disgusting review bombing, I felt compelled to do so.

I am a fat woman, and I have never seen a show with so many fat people in it that didn't base its premise around fixing our bodies, especially for fat and trans women of color! The people who are saying this show "promotes bad habits/unhealthiness/etc" haven't even watched this show. They just see fat woc and immediately dismiss it without giving it a chance. Its literally about dancing. Where fat women. Exercise. Constantly on screen. We are not promoting an unhealthy lifestyle for simply existing in our bodies. Fat people and fat women will always exist. Statistically you probably have a fat friend and to those of you typing vitriol of us all over the internet, how do you think they would feel if they could read the things you say about us online?

I love that in this show you can see how the women are positively impacted by a space that Lizzo has created for these women to feel comfortable in their own skin. Before Lizzo, I know I have never thought I was allowed to be sexy, to learn how to accept my body as is, and it brought me to tears to see these women grow and improve throughout their personal and professional lives.

You can tell that Lizzo has control over this show and its premise, she discourages toxicity and looks to foster a group that builds each other up which is a rarity on reality television. This show is such a joy to watch, the women are so talented and always managed to surprise me. I hope this show opens the eyes of people who are straight sized and create more opportunities for fat people around the world to exist in peace.

Thank you Lizzo, for creating opportunities for these women who would not have it otherwise. You've changed the world and me. Watch this show with an open heart.

Lizzo's show is groundbreaking and will undoubtedly make many uncomfortable and outraged and her unabashed acceptance of large bodies. Her focus on bringing women up instead of tearing them down is refreshing and well past due in our society and on reality shows. This show is about strength, coordination, commitment and confidence. These large bodied women do things that most women could not do regardless of body size. Thank you Lizzo and the team for putting yourselves out there and taking a stance against judgement and undeserved negative messaging around natural bodies of all shapes, sizes and skin tones.

I have to say upfront that as someone in their 50s, I am not the target audience for this show. So while all the "you go girl" and "slay queen" sentiments make me wince, I can see that a younger audience would find it inspirational.

Lizzo herself comes across as a fun lady, somewhat bawdy and sweet at the same time, but I think the show has pigeonholed her into being a hyper-positive role model. All people are a combination of good, bad, positive, critical, mean and kind, but we are only allowed to see the good facets of her personality, making her a one-dimensional host.

I would love to see what her full personality is like. The parts where the camera lingers after she delivers yet another platitude are quite telling - she's almost laughing at herself, joking around. I would have like see more of that.

The contestants themselves aren't really all that exciting - LIzzo is the star of the show, and I think most people are aware that shows like this only exist to prop up the host and increase their fan base. Their journey also lacks any real tension because the eliminations are not part of every show, and it's reasonably obvious who is going to make the cut.

All in all, it's a a good time passer and for some it will be more than that. Someone a lot younger and less cynical than me.

I'm not a big girl but I can appreciate the intent and purpose of this show. I certainly can't dance like these girls do. I'm glad they're being given the opportunity to showcase their gifts and chase their dreams! Who doesn't love that???

A hater. That's who. Ignore them.
