This show which could or should have been interesting was just a bunch of click bait. It was a reality show about a reality show. People being mad tv did tv things is comical. I remember plenty of these people having a much different story after the show for years but now they have clearly lost their shine so they are coming back for more.

Almost all of these *adult* contestants had watched the show and knew what to expect as far as how intense the trainers were, challenges/temptations, etc... and they still signed up because they "wanted to be on the show so badly." And they also could have left willingly at any time, and they stayed. But still somehow found a way to paint themselves as victims. Joelle is *still* absolutely insufferable. Zero self awareness or accountability. Every contestant was handed a life-changing opportunity to do and accomplish hard things - and knew it would be grueling and sometimes embarrassing. But somehow instead of gratitude, so many of them can only focus on the negative. Like they were owed something. Reality TV - in general - is embarrassing. And that's sort of the point. Whether is housewives or dating shows, you're giving up something (often their dignity) to get something. Stop complaining about it. You knew. Even Tracey, when asked at the end if she'd go back on the show, she couldn't definitively answer - insinuating that possibly yes she would - even after all her complaining.
I think this is less a documentary and more a self-aggrandizing recount of a long-running reality television series. Even the (tacit and semi-overt) "admissions" regarding negative health outcomes for some participants just didn't justify the length of time required to watch this offering. I fear it just didn't break any new ground about this topic.
I found it interesting and watched all 3 episodes. However as others have said, too many stories of people trying to play the victim. Yes, there was corporate greed from the producers, but that's pretty much how the world works. Everyone who went on the show after season 2, knew what they were signing up for. It's just sad that most of the people didn't take the lessons learned and gained all the weight back.
Honestly it was insufferable seeing Bob Harper and the producers acting as if they did mostly good things and not take any accountability for anything they made these poor people go through.
Anyone trying to lose weight should always exercise at their own pace and obviously should not be made to work out until they throw up and the fact that anyone thought this was okay is wild to me but maybe not too surprising as society does seem to hate fat people and that fact that a show like "The Biggest Loser" was ever a thing proves it.
I wish nothing but the worst for not only Bob Harper and the producers but everyone blaming the contestant in the reviews, still i'm glad that this documentary exists and i hope it opened some people' eyes if they didn't know about this already.
