Something has been bugging me lately. I keep seeing a commercial for a new show called "Strong" and I am having a reaction to it. Here are 5 thoughts that keep going through my head:
- Here we go again…another weight loss TV show that makes a spectacle out of the participants' bodies and glorifies weight loss and thinness.
- That doesn't look like very much fun.
- Strong is new thin…I hate that saying.
- Why are all of the participants women and the trainers men? It makes it seem like the men are there to "fix" the women.
- This show is a perfect example of the societal pressure for women to be thin and men to be muscular.
- I wonder how these women feel about themselves.
- Why does America find this so entertaining?
- I wish they didn't make them wear such tight and revealing clothes.
- It's very unlikely that they are going to maintain these physical changes.
- I wonder what behaviors it takes these men to look like that.
- I hope this show doesn't make it to a 2nd season.
- This kind of pisses me off.
- When is this commercial going to be over?
- I hope these people don't have eating disorders…or develop one after being on the show.
