Enjoy watching the eliminations and challenges, despite the apparent necessity for lots of screaming and praying and hilarious declarations of love to fellow competitors. Could have well done without the mawkish virtue signalling and heartrending sob stories throughout - every competitor more tragic than the last - to the accompaniment of sad string sections and musically induced pathos! May go down well in some places, and there was hardly a dry eye in my house either, but for a different reason - we found it totally nauseating. Please just stick to the game, the Korean versions, though less money, are far more entertaining.

I would love to properly enjoy this series, and was doing until the first episode of season 2 which was largely shot in the dark! I realuse the story calls for atmospheric darkness in many situations, but I was getting really fed up with squinting desperately at the screen in order to try and make out what exactly is going on. I grasped the gist, thanks to the accompanying dialogue, but adding a smidgeon more light would have made it so much easier without detracting from my viewing pleasure! Just to clarify further, I have excellent vision without specs or lenses, and my tv is a fairly new and expensive Sony Bravia. Otherwise, my rating would be 8 or 9!

Thank god somebody commissioned it - hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 Takes the micky out of every small suburban slimming club, as recognised by all of us tubbies that have attended over the years. Love the characters, love the differing storylines, great programme to relax and laugh along with. Gentle and amusing, anyone with a sense of humour would enjoy and relate to the human situations, reactions and interactions that were frequently extremely moving. Superb cast that brought the characters to life. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, if you can't laugh at yourself -and life itself - just don't watch it!
