Ugh. If I didn't know any better I'd say that this was evidence that you could earn a Knighthood just by being super rich and giving a tiny fraction of it away with very little consideration to actual character.

She didn't touch herself next to her prepubescent sister. You are a 'disgusting fuck' for thinking that. I doubt you read her book if that's your vulgar interpretation, but if you did then you entirely missed the point. People like you make the world a worse place. Give Lena a break, read around the headlines. She's a…

Brian Souter can fuck the fuck off. And when he's finished fucking the fuck off, he can fuck the fuck off again, the fucking fucker.

This has always been my interpretation of her struggles with the media. I think it's taken her awhile to understand that the environment she grew up in is not the one she is currently inhabiting.

I...like "Girls" and Lena Dunham's book, and I thought the criticism over her childhood explorations with her sister were overblown. It makes sense that she would hire a person like this given the past year's talk about her. I imagine most celebrities have people like this on retainer.

Every time I read about Lena Dunham I wonder why any woman would ever choose to enter this particular industry - the exceptional level of scrutiny must be so oppressive.

People who watch the show are more likely to have a negative view of physical activity. A recent study showed that the grueling way exercise is portrayed on The Biggest Loser actively discourages viewers from wanting to participate. Basically, overweight people watching the show see other overweight people crying,…

No people will die from heart disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems all of which have a high correlation to obesity because they are generally caused by behaviors that lead to obesity. Altering those behaviors is the key to healthier people, and Biggest Looser with it's predilection towards starvation diets,…

I actually kind of like Hoarders. The show openly admits that the process is long. The show is really only there for the "big" stuff, which is the cleanup. A lot of hoarders actually do need to clean up fast - usually when the city or town comes after you and threatens to condemn your place unless you clean it up…

This process must skew your perceptions so much. When I was on a weight loss regime, I was told that a safe rate of weight loss was around 1-2 pounds a week (slightly more in the beginning). When these people drop 10-20 pounds a WEEK, wouldn't that be a tremendous strain upon the heart and other organs? They're…

I've been watching Intervention a lot lately, and I find it dubious that in their little cards at the end, every single person has gotten clean and stayed sober. Even the ones who turn down rehab on the show, oh, yeah, they totally got clean on their own once the cameras got off, and every single one stayed that way.…

Hoarders offered aftercare funds to each of the hoarders featured on the show, which some chose to take advantage of and some did not. I think the difference is that cleaning up a house in 3 days or a week is definitely something that could be done (in most cases), and having a clean-up supervised by specialists…

I personally lost 30lbs in three months. Sure, there are unhealthy ways to lose weight....then there are the hard ways. The hard way I did it? Chicken and veggies literally every meal in small portions and 2+hours a night at the gym. 1000calorie burn on the bike one night, then weights next.

The show is about weight loss. It is not about health.

One that thinks you are likely to be hospitalized and/or die if you don't take it?

The one episode of ANTM that confused me was the one where they had two models doing the shoot in the freezing pool. The girl, who I think eventually won, literally had chattering teeth! Tyra kept pushing her — "Swimsuit shoots are always done in the winter!" — but then I think the girl had to go to the hospital? …

And they also had humiliating and dangerous tasks. All for what? To mock these girls on TV? I remember a task in which girls had to walk in this ridiculous high and weird heels. All of them fell down, and one of them (the winner Danielle) seriously twisted her ankles, badly. She needed to go to the ER and the panel…

No sane doctor/trainer/nutritionist would recommend it. One hour, an hour and a half of hard training is the most a person can do per day. And it's step by step. You rest, you teach your body to move and excercise. But of course this show has a deadline and an audience to impress. So they push these poor people to the…

once told by a trainer not to drink electroylyte-balancing liquids prescribed by the show's doctor because it would "ruin her one last chance to save her life.

The show reminds me of Tyra Banks' disaster - American's Next Top Model That No One Will Ever Hear Of After Season 3. When ever a contestant questioned whether she wanted to be on the show, Tyra would lecture/scream at her for wasting this opportunity and not wanting to prance around half naked for cameras, as if she…
