To not understand the point of, or why indeed people go on the programme 'Secret Eaters'.

[Rollergirl1]

It's so formulaic. Person(s) claims not to understand how they've put on so much weight/can't lose any weight. Person claims to consume 1500 calories a day. Person is then secretly filmed (although not that secretly filmed cos they know they're being filmed cos they're on the program) and eats plates of food the size of another person. All day long. Person is then shown the "secret footage" and person displays suitable surprise (why? they are being filmed for the program. And surely they know how and what they are eating even when they're not being filmed, unless they were drugged and taken to a kebab shop against their will.) Person then understands where they are going wrong (eating massive amounts of food) and decides not to eat massive amounts of food anymore.

Really?

Fuck off.

YANBU

I think it is stupid as fuck.

Lol rollergirl! YANBU!

Its a ridiculous concept really

I will never forget the one where the bloke said he got a salad for his lunch and when
They filmed him he actually bought a pie and a bun and made himself a pie. Sandwich! A bloody pie sandwich!

The most hilarious part of it is the amazingly obvious wig that the professor guy wears

Yanbu. It's unbelievable that people eat like that and wonder why they are huge, then act all shocked about it.

I totally agree with you, it's a ridiculous concept.

I want to know why the psychologist has suddenly decided to wear that ludicrous wig.

Oh and 'what they don't know is that our secret investigators are tracking their every move'

Erm well they should do if they've seen the show before, heck we even know what these private investigators look like.

YANBU, I've only seen it once or twice but that sounds like the perfect description.

The one I saw had this woman watching herself at a Toby carvery and her reaction to the film was like someone watching a comedy-horror film that they'd never seen before. Something like, Her:'Oh my God, look at what I'm doing!' Show host: 'Wait till you see what comes next!' Her: 'Why? What? Oh my God, I'm going back. I don't .... I'm not .... I aaaaaam!'

So bizarre. It has to be staged.

Oddly compulsive though if only to confirm what a lumpen race we are with the gastronomic sophistication of a Great Dane .

moondog same here

I suppose it's not much different from keeping a food diary because people really don't realise how much they're eating over the course of a day.

Jazzed up with extreme examples (of attention seekers who've signed up knowing exactly what the premise of the show is but have no other talent to get their mug on the telly) for the masses so we can all feel smug about not eating sandwiches made from half a chicken and mars bars washed down with a pint of Malibu and melted butter.

The man that put double cream on his Special K instead of milk made my evening though.

Is it wrong that I watched tonight whilst eating a large cake?

One person claimed they ate 1200 calories a day yet weighed about 18 stone, turns out they where eating about 3000 a day, i mean come on, how can you not realise?!

rubber that man was ace

I watch aghast as they become one with the sofa, a plate of indeterminate fat and carbohydrate easy to be attacked.
So depressing.

Am I the only one that sees the big table of all the terrible food they eat and thinks oh god I could eat that right now. You know the one with 30 donuts or pies, the other day it was a mountain of ice cream sundaes I nearly had to make a trip to McDonald's

Agree with everything said ^

Why would you volunteer to go on here if you didn't think you were a secret eater and, if you think you are, then you're not very secret anyway. The only thing worse than the psychologist's wig is Anna Richardson's awful contrived voiceovers.

Oh yes, the cream on the Special K! Fantastic!!

Cake - he was indeed. He inhaled hot dog sausages from the fridge every time he passed too.

gee thanks op you ruined the ending for me now!

That table at the end always makes so hungry!! A table full of crap looks so appealing!

Also the healthy jacket potato lunch of the week before...that girl had gone from 10 to 18 stone in 3 years!

I think that wig is actually part of a cunning experiment involving the effect of shredded wheat in stressed commuters.
