The Biggest Loser became a cultural phenomenon when it premiered in 2004 — but the show has been plagued with scandals and controversy as well. Despite working together on The Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper‘s offscreen friendship was quite different — but where do they stand now?

Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser was released on Netflix on August 15, 2025. It saw the contestants of the popular reality show, The Biggest Loser, ousting the problematic ways the show had them lose weight. It also featured the host of the show, Bob Harper, who condoned some of the show's ways while criticizing the others.

Frederickson did end up gaining back 20 pounds within a couple months of the finale. She told Us Weekly in April 2014 that she felt 125 pounds was her “perfect weight.” She also insisted that she’d lost weight “so naturally” on “The Biggest Loser.”
