I enjoyed Martin's first meal as a free man. I'm not sure that he got the irony of being out there because of his size and poor health, criticising a culture which dosen't have such problems and giving up to go home for a gigantic feed. I hope him and his bowling ball boobs are happy together.
Unless of course it was all editing, and Martin is lovely, content and not worried about his weight.

I think you are all very good at sitting there, pulling us apart. Why thank you. We are rather good at being bitchy, aren't we? While I don't for a second believe any of the new posters on this thread were actually on the programme, I disagree with 'Beth' saying that people should be proud of them dieting. If you are very obese, loosing the weight is an achievement but not a moment of pride. It's solely to stop you from dying from being too fat, something which is more than likely brought on by yourself. I don't throw a fucking parade everytime I lose a few pounds - dieting is so mundane it doesn't even deserve a show much less the audience to throw street parties in honour of fat people doing the nessecary to live. Sorry if that all sounded harsh but it's how I feel goshdarnit!

I think it's very likely that it's them. They've obviously waited for the show to start them googled themselves.
Also, inspired by their posts, I have come up with a new show: Fat Men Can't Punctuate.

I have no idea if it's them, going by the length of the posts I'd say maybe, but they should have researched this board first. You lot are the bitchiest bunch of cynical bastards I've ever met. I'm sure you're all aware that's a compliment. I think this show is pointless. Another show of people making a huge fuss and bother about how fat they are, instead of quietly just getting the fuck on with losing weight. You're so far gone, you have the fly to a fucking desert to lose a bit of weight? For fucks sake. Stop eating your feelings, get on a fucking treadmill, and give up the fucking doughnuts.

You lot are the bitchiest bunch of cynical bastards I've ever met. I take exception to that. The rest of these twats are bitches. I'm a tat connisseur. I defence of the featured portly I would probably put on eight stone and lay myself before the indignity of Endemol stardom to get the chance to go and hang out with Bushmen and eat Elephant.

They could have a spin-off dating show on Channel Four:
"Fat Men Can't Get Any Cunt"

Martin and Dion were on Ready Steady Cook! Martin won somehow. His prize was 100 quid which he said he would donate to charity. "I'd like to donate it to charity. I'm going to give it to Dion" he said.

If the rest of this thread is any indicator I expect Martin to appear soon, wailing that it was all editing and in fact there was LOADS of footage of him being culturally aware and hugging Bushmen that evil Endemol decided not to show. Well, I've alerted Martin about this thread. Whether he'll turn up or not, I couldn't say, but he's not big on wailing or whining. In fact, he's seemed rather relaxed about the whole thing. Then again, he now has access to biscuits, so low blood sugar isn't a problem at present.

He does, however, acknowledge he ought to lose weight for health reasons, and is looking into the pros and cons of having a gastric bypass operation.

Dr Miriam Stoppard said in the Mirror yesterday that stomach stapling etc doesn't work because it doesn't address the question of why a person is pigging out, just stops them from getting fat. As a result their addictive personality gets channeled into something else, like hookers or drugs. So I'd have a word with him. Then again, in the same column she said threesomes and group sex were no fun, so maybe you should take it with a pinch of salt.

She's got every right to be bitter though: her brainbox ex-husband did eventually dump her for Felicity Kendal. I thought women like Miriam Stoppard were brilliant at multitasking though. Surely that's a key skill if you're going to enjoy threesomes?

He's had plenty of lectures from many people who know him far better than I do on the relative lack of sanity of this endeavour; but in the end, he happens to be an obstinate sod who'll go his own way. If he goes ahead with it, I suspect he's more likely to rechannel into World of Warcraft than drugs. And, understably, I doubt hookers will be on the cards for him.

I can understand your having some qualms about slagging people off engaging in playful discussion when there's someone around to offer inside info, such as it is. On the other hand, I can bring stuff like this to the table: 'I think I deserve some kind of special bonus points for fucking off some proletarian cretins on an Internet. I've never done that before. Oh no.'Which was Martin's reaction to gozodave's comment. And there's this choice quote: 'Peasantry is a state of mind. Hence, Louise.'See? There are benefits.

The program made the participents look like idiots and its premise was dubious and badly managed. It was almost as badly mugged for camera as Colin and Justin's How Not To Decorate.
I thought Martin was quite annoying but seemed to be irritated by the 'experiment'. His outbursts seemed to be about the program rather than the tribe but edited a little unevenly to make him look like a cunt.
Are any of the participents markedly happy or angry about how they have been treated?

One of Martin's best post-show thoughts -
When Martin was on Ready Steady Cook he thought "Ainsley's dirty looks are terrifying"

I'm not entirely sure whether the error's in capitalising or in the article employed, but given the overall sarcastic tone of the message, it's possibly deliberate.
