There have been many notable moments where we have defended the Kardashian sisters.
We have applauded their business instincts, we have celebrated their no-nonsense attitudes and we have mourned their tragedies.
But Khloe Kardashian’s, 32, latest reality television series, Revenge Bodies, sets to change this as it delivers a sickening twist on an already dangerous concept: the weight-loss show.
Revenge Bodies follows the format of such shows as The Biggest Loser to supply audiences with a group of individuals determined to lose weight.
The factor that differs Revenge Bodies from its older comparison is that contestants are technically working on their body to somehow seek “revenge” on those who have previously shamed them.
Hosts Laura Brodnik and Rosie Waterland, discussed the show on this week’s episode of Mamamia‘s television podcast, The Binge.
Listen to Laura and Rosie discuss why they simply can’t support for the new Kardashian show.
Laura, a fervent fan of the Kardashians, said the show seemed to possess a certain cruelty to its format.
“There was an element of real meanness to this – you know, she’s [Khloe Kardashian] got these people coming on the show that are overweight and they’re getting yelled at,” she said.

How is this any different to 'The Biggest Loser'?
This old chestnut - it certainly does make for great TV. Healing can only come after these "contestants" achieve their goal/revenge weight and realise that it does not take away their pain, sense of rejection and grief. My former sil has her revenge body but is still angry and bitter almost 3 years down the track. People need to realise that being broken up with often has nothing to do with physical appearance.
