flea market :oP

I understand that all participants were medically tested,,,,before they
undertook this challenge,,re: medication, work-out, can they handle it,etc.
I'm almost positive that these networks do not want to be sued in any way,
and will take every step to insure that it doesn't happen.

Yeah, I really trust doctors, like those who constantly run commercials
promoting weight loss surgery.

The show will be hosted by Caroline Rhea, most recently the host of
her own talk show, but many viewers will know her from her longtime
role on "Sabrina: The Teenage Witch."

Yes, she, like Rosie, definitely has weight issues. Maybe she
should weigh too.
