Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser aka the Netflix Biggest Loser docuseries caused a lot of controversy between subjects like Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels (who didn’t participate), Dr Robert Huizenga, and behind the scenes talent J.D. Roth and David Broome, among many others.

And the documentary itself has received criticism for how it handled, or didn’t handle, sensitive and health related topics. 

Our first ever guest Vencent “Bigg Vinny” Hickerson was a contestant who went far on season 12, and he breaks down his thoughts actually competing on The Biggest Loser, along with his takes on the trainers, staff, fellow contestants, and what life is REALLY like after the show.
