Taking It Off Again

[listersgirl]

I watched Taking It Off again last night, and I just have to say I'm having a very hard time believing that this is real. Last season, it totally felt like these were actual real people and this was just what they happened to be going through at the time. This season, however, we have:

a) a woman whose father died during the show, and she moved back in with her mother;

b) a man whose mother just went into the hospital with lung cancer; and

c) a woman, whose motivation was to lose weight for her wedding, who was dumped by her fiance and then found out that she was pregnant.

And there are only 6 people on the show. Those seem like some incredible odds. I do kind of feel sorry for the people who aren't going through major emotional trials, though, because they're not getting nearly as much screen time. How exciting is it to watch someone actually stick to his or her diet?

Although...

...I enjoy the supreme weirdness of a dieting show that has an actual pregnant woman trying to lose the weight she's gaining. Dude, what? Is she even still allowed on the show at this point? (I mean, yes, sure, of course you should eat as healthily as possible while incubating your spawn, but it's still supremely weird. I stand by that.)

The announcement of her pregnancy to the group was the last thing we saw last week, so I suppose she could be dropping out, but I bet the producers will keep here there as long as they can. Because she brings drama, y'know. Drama!
