HUGE....i LOVE this show



I saw an advertisement for a show called HUGE...it was presented as a show about kids that were sent away to a fat camp. I thought it might be offensive but I took the chance at watching it on Hulu. I have to say this show is very well done. The writers are great and address so many common teenage issues that apply to all teenagers and has some very awesome adult dynamics. If you haven't watched this show, please check out the above video while it lasts. This is episode 4. Here are the things that have been missed in the first 3 episodes....

1. The kids had to be dressed in their bathing suits for a "before" picture.
2. Will (short for Willamina) decided she would start selling her candy stash to make money
3. Will was ratted out by her friend, Becca, about selling her candy stash.
4. Another character that was only on for a couple of episodes was ratted out by her friend Amber because she has bulimia. No one thinks Amber should be at this camp because she's the thinnest girl at the camp. Amber is pretty and doesn't know it, and seems to have a good heart that she's afraid of showing. Amber also likes the guy fitness trainer, George.
5. A new girl in the cabin replaced the girl who was suffering from bulimia. Her parents wouldn't leave because the girl got home sick easily. These same parents were a support group for Will while she tired to learn basketball. With their encouragement, Will learned she could play and get better with practice.
6. My favorite episode before the one posted above was mainly about an activity my favorite character Becca wanted to start. Becca wanted to get others to participate in her LARP. Larping is basically taking your imagination, creating a whole new world with different new races of people and doing a live action role playing game. It reminds me of the movie Role Models and the game the one kid liked to play called LAIR.
7. I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with the main character Will. So draw your own conclusions about her. :D

Anywho...I give this show 5 STARS of course out of 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work HUGE!!!!
