Saw this in TV guide when I was looking something else up - it premires tonight.

What channel is DHC ???

Body Challenge 2
(8 pm/ET, DHC)

Body Challenge 2 cleverly plays to both the American obsession with losing weight and our seemingly insatiable appetite for reality television.

As the Challenge's second season begins, the participants have a collective 250 pounds of flab to shed and the six-part series charts their 16-week regimen, created with the help of nutrition experts and personal trainers. The main goal of the six contestants is to win a trip to the Hawaiian island of Maui, but they also gain self-respect and good health along the way. Each episode (the first two air back to back tonight) finds the six struggling through a new physical challenge and facing up to the much-anticipated weigh-in.

The last series eventually repeated on the 'normal' Discovery Channel, or maybe it was TLC, after not too long. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get it soon, just might be a couple of months. The last series was pretty interesting.

Wasn't there supposed to be a reality show where they take 10 overweight people and put them in a house full of donuts and other unhealthy stuff? And the winner would be the one who lost the most weight? I'm not kidding, I could have sworn I had read about this somewhere. It was going to air on a network, not cable.
