They used to have dirty movies' ladies style, and you could even see clips and freeze frame and print them, but that was back when Oprah was funneling $$$ in it like crazy. Girls Behaving Badly had a smidgen of popularity, and this weight loss show is a smart, meretricious and opportunistic move, but I have to feel they could compete against Lifetime head to head with the demos, and even get some young male viewers ( like MTV in the afternoon does,) with edgy programming, if only they were available in enough markets. Oxygen Hallmark, and some others are like the 1960's ABC of cable. It's unfair, and until the FCC does something about it instead of politisizing everything they touch, ... well, screw the FCC under this admin, as well as the last three.

And, I think the ratings will grow while the contestants shrink. I had a sense this would hit, writing about it yesterday on my blog. And, I think the ratings will grow while the contestants shrink.
