It was one of my favorite shows! That table just groaning with all that nasty food, and the stunned looks on their faces when they get caught lying like rugs about what they really ate vs. what they wrote in their food diaries. "This week, you ate the sugar equivalent of seven hundred donuts."

I start giggling as soon as they start with their "It must be something genetic because I only eat salads and maybe a bite of fruit, and I exercise allll the time," and I laugh harder and harder as we watch them waddle out of Starbeetus with enormous plastic tubs of whipped cream, watch them scarf down an entire huge 1kg Cadbury bar at their desk before lunch, watch them bake a huge potato and then slather it with an entire can of beans, coleslaw, 300g of cheese, and light sour cream (because, you know, they're healthy) so it looks like vomit on a plate and then slurp all that down for lunch...oh, good times. Or their "salads" that are basically lettuce drowned in salad cream with a bunch of cheese thrown on for good measure. Then it's more chocolate, some crisps as an afternoon snack because "{They've] been good today," and off to the gym--sometimes--for ten minutes of lumbering on a treadmill. Then an enormous dinner with like a serving bowl full of cheese-and-goop-covered pasta, six Mrs. Kiplings or an entire Tesco cheesecake or some profiteroles or all of the above, and a whole bottle of wine... And then the host asks, "How many calories do you think you had today?" and the answer is always, "Oh, about 1200." Lol.

I especially love the little bell that rings with every drink/serving/bite. Like the guy who ate something like twenty roast potatoes at a Sunday carvery in addition to all the other crap he ate. I think his daily average was some astronomical amount like 5600.

I don't remember the 800 calorie cheat day person, I need to find that one! There's a bunch of them on YouTube. I've started rewatching them lately, because that shit never gets old. I wonder if we should post a link for one? They're excellent shitlord entertainment.

I remember the one with the roast potatoes. I love a good roastie but how anyone can eat 20+ is a mystery to me. I bet they didn't make much profit from him.

I went over to a friends for roast chicken the other night and only managed 4 or 5 of the 8-9 I was given, at least the dog was happy :) I may have got mixed up about the 800 calorie cheat day, could have been on supersize vs superskinny. That's another good one to watch if you're into these 'reality' shows.

Oh, I will never turn down roasties, but yeah...even I cannot imagine eating that many at one sitting (and because they--and any other potato, especially fried--are a weakness of mine, I'm pretty strict with myself about how many I'm allowed to have when I make them) along with the meat and roasted Brussels Sprouts and parsnips etc. etc. And he had at least one big Yorkshire pudding, too, all doused with gravy. It's astonishing.

I liked Supersize vs. Superskinny, too! Not as much as Secret Eaters, because the obvious lying/delusion isn't such a big part of it and there was/is no "lesson" for my girls, but I'd still watch it when it was on.

If I find the 800-calorie cheat day ep, I'll let you know which it was. It does sound more like SE, though.
