Hi all,

         Just to let those of you know who missed it the first time: TLC will be re-airing the Joanna Thomas doc. "Supersize She"
  tonight at 10 PM and a few other times as well this month.

Here is a little blurb about the show:

   Supersize She takes us on an eye-popping ride through the pumped-up world of female body-building. Joanna Thomas, or Buff Barbie, was the youngest ever woman to turn pro, in a sport in which over 10,000 women compete at amateur level worldwide.

Competition is intense and the film follows the dangerous level to which Joanna will push herself to achieve her childhood dream of being crowned Miss Olympia, body-building’s most glittering prize. The film also follows her through the pain and rigours of training, dehydration and starvation to get into competition shape, and goes backstage to take a unique glimpse into the tension and fragile confidence of these women.

Supersize She shocks the senses with images of female muscle that most people will never have seen before and reveals the difference between the healthy image and seedy reality of women’s body-building.

                                                                                          Don't forget to set those timers!

P.S. Sorry to post a new topic about this…I know there was already one from a week or so ago – I just didn't want this to get lost in all of the other replies there 🙂

Thanks for posting about this!

I was channel-surfing & happened across "Supersize-She" (it repeats at 1am, Pacific time over here on cable channel TLC).

I'm gonna go out & buy a blank VHS tape & record it! 

Later,

Yeah I watched it like a week or two ago when it first aired I didnt know it was going to repeat though!

Another one to keep an eye out for (I think it re-ran again this past week) is the Taboo series running on the National Geographic channel.  The episode "Gender Benders" includes a 20 min segment on Female Bodybuilding mainly focusing on Betty Pariso & Rosemary Cheeseman, but there's several cameos by others.  😎

Try the previous thread concerning this topic, "watch TLC on 06/26/05 at 10:00 PM EST…I think…!" –  The Pimp in Neon Black listed a Yahoo group that had some samples posted, also Fasola mentioned another forum that had video posted.

Lastly, I don't know if this is of any further assistance, but I came across it over at the very end of the Unrealmuscle forum thread covering the Supersize She program.
