New series starting tonight, RTE 1, 9.35.
This show has been renamed to ‘5 Fatties and It’ with KT being the It.
Ive decided not to watch it this year - it was very poor last year - the format is stale.
KT only had a baby 3 months ago - she should be at home looking after her kids and enjoying the time with them. It will be painful for viewers listening to her going on about her kids and how hard it is 'juggle' everything. The media will portray her as some super mam who looks fab and how shes a typical mum 😣
Have earplugs to hand tonight.
There will be shrieking, lots of shrieking.
I didn’t realise the dept of health finance this show. Think that’s messed up.
How many tears can we expect tonight, how many will have very sad pasts? None who just got fat because they like eating?
Getting a lot of flack on Twitter lately and rightly so. Some people must get their kicks watching others get emotional abuse from the judges.
Sad to see people don't know how to have a conversation or/and relationship any more. Too much time spent on the phone or social media. That's 2 participants so far who struggle to converse with their partner/spouse.
Anyone know where the dietician/nutritionist’s jumper is from?
Stefano seems lovely.
Best of luck to them all. Not easy with the current criticism of OT.
I was an 80s child. My parents and grandparents said the same about tv and video games. Its a generational think. The kids will be grand.
As for OT. Everything that is wrong with Irish TV.
30+ cigarettes a day is a very expensive habit.
It is a lot to expect him to kick cigarettes, fizzy drinks and start eating healthily altogether.
I would be like the Antichrist.
Good to see they have done away with the silly thing of surprising the participants to tell them they have been chosen.
Not exactly, they just moved it to their social media.

Ahh ok....I don't do instagram so I lost out on that thankfully :)
I like this year's participants, hope they do well. It's a huge public commitment.
At least they have removed the humiliation of baring all their lumps and bumps by allowing them were t shirts and track bottoms now for weigh ins etc.
The old lad from Cavan with the arthritis seems to have found himself a young enough Asian bride.
Henry arrives to Tipp lady's house late at night to announce she's in the show. He's wearing shorts in the middle of winter. Could he not have worn pants?
Anyone downloaded the app?
Last year the plan differed according to the leader you were following. Lots of the meal options had a A or B variation with different calorie counts and each leader was set a variation (as they were different weights/height etc).
At the moment, the app seems to be the same calorie count for everyone which isn't great.
They seem to be moving away from the focus on weight. Maybe they want to be able to say “you gained but isn’t it great you improved x”. They should’ve just rebranded the show in my opinion.
