It's finally time to reflect on the horrifying cultural moment that was The Biggest Loser thanks to the new docuseries Fit for TV. Plus, read about four more shows to watch this month.

Netflix’s new documentary, “Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser” just landed on the streamer and it pulls back the curtain on allegations made against producers and former cast members of NBC’s former series “The Biggest Loser.”

Rachel Frederickson faced backlash from Biggest Loser fans for her extreme weight loss. But blame should be placed on the system that exploited her.

From tension between Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels to one contestant nearly dying on the set, the new series was full of secrets.

Netflix’s newest docuseries interviews cast, crew, and contestants on how a reality show about weight loss changed their lives.

The documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser revealed that weight regain affected the majority of previous contestants. This pattern suggests that the show's extreme methods were not sustainable for long-term health. The lack of aftercare support may have contributed to these disappointing outcomes for the contestants.

David Broome, a co-creator of The Biggest Loser, says in the docuseries that he got the idea for the show after seeing a desperate “help wanted” ad for a personal trainer to “save my life” on a bulletin board outside of a gym. Once the show was underway, producers searched for similarly desperate contestants.

That prompted the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to take action. A reality show about treadmills and salads had unexpectedly evolved into a police probe. After Season 17 of The Biggest Loser, NBC decided to cancel the show due to widespread criticism and legal issues.
