Yeah, it's weird. If someone walked up to me and congratulated me over and over again and said they were going to throw me a party and buy me a car just for being thin, I would wonder how drunk they were. But as you say, there are now TV shows based around people who did even less than me. Being thin is the minimum effort you are expected to put in. It's not an achievement to be a normal human being. Shows like this only serve to lower the bar so even less becomes an achievement.

I don't get it either. Being a good parent, a good citizen, a good friend, a good student, a good person, those are default states. Rewarding people who fucked up the basics, and were forced to change, any more than people who were doing it right all along, doesn't make any sense. But everything is opposite these days, especially on TV and news.
