Episode Description from the Publisher

The Biggest Loser was a hit reality TV show that ran across 17 seasons – all with one goal in mind, to help fat people lose weight. But in reality, it was a cruel stop on many contestants’ journeys with their bodies and health, all broadcast for millions to see – and comment on. While the show didn't technically do anything illegal, the documentary reveals the show did have victims. Director Skye Borgman joins Crime Story to discuss her series Fit for TV. You can watch Fit for TV on Netflix.
