The Biggest Loser was a juggernaut of a TV show in Australia in the early 2000s and the woman leading the show as the host was Ajay Rochester. 

As a self-described fat woman herself, she now talks to Yvie about a lot of damage that was caused because of that show. 

She also shares her experience living in a fat-phobic world and some of the behind the scenes gossip of what it was really like on the show.
