Diane Werts

Feb 22, 2011

Producers clearly encourage some to-the-camera carping, but the overriding emotional tone is one of bonding and growth. And respect. In a reality competition! Read full review

Like The Biggest Loser, Shedding for the Wedding is ultimately feel-good reality that also aims to make its contestants feel better. Read full review

There's nothing terribly original about the Shedding, although it's a hoot to hear about the couples' theme weddings. Read full review

Shedding for the Wedding is a plate-load of empty calories, a lot of huffing and puffing we're meant to take as compelling even though there's little compelling in the presentation; it is just speedy. Read full review

Depicting their triumphs and setbacks with imperfect sincerity, smooshing together various reality-show formulae with an awkwardness that is at times touching, the series sheds light on a corner of the psyche where the princess-y obsessions of the wedding culture meets a mutation of the great American tradition of self-improvement.

Frankly, none of the couples really stand out by reality-TV standards in the first two episodes, but the basic template contains enough relatable elements--struggling with weight, and stressing about wedding details--to carry the show along. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Feb 23, 2011

Vulgarian avarice, unfortunately, is one of the high points of Shedding For The Wedding. Far more disconcerting is the number of couples who say they want to lose weight because sex between fat people is--well, let's spare the details and just say "yucky." Read full review
