    Beyond The Scale

    The early 2000s were a significant period defined by fashion trends such as low-rise jeans, words like “chillax” and “fo shizzle” became part of our everyday vernacular, Myspace had just been released, and blink-182 was in its heyday.  It was also when the rise of reality TV began.  Seriously, it feels like a fever dream because only in the 2000s would anyone watch two party princesses move from L.A.  to work on a farm, and it continued for 5 seasons.  On today’s episode, we are going to talk about a pivotal reality TV show from the 2000s and the impact it made. This is Beyond the Scale. Sources The brutal secrets behind ‘The Biggest Loser’ Kai Hibbard - Wikipedia 'The Biggest Loser' Scandal: What Happened to the Weight-Loss Show?
