Coming Soon: Shedding For The Wedding
Feb 17th
When Does It Start: Wednesday February 23rd at 9.00pm / 8.00c on The CW
In A Nutshell: 9 overweight couples plan their perfect wedding day… but first they need to lose those pesky pounds!
What’s It About: Um, the title kind of says it all!
Shedding For The Wedding features 9 large couples who all want to lose weight before their big day – and in the process win themselves a dream wedding. Hosting the show is actress Sara Rue who’s also a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig (and lost 50 lbs on the program). There’s a couple of generic personal trainers on hand (who don’t even get introduced in the trailer) – they should have used our own Angry Trainer! And of course the show features that wedding show staple, the gay wedding planner (oh how I love seeing gay men used as wedding accessories when they themselves can’t marry!)
Are you excited yet…?
