Staying Fit
Former season 9 contestant, Erica Rose, said that producers encouraged them to lose weight and get in good shape. "They did encourage everyone to get in their best shape. They'd say, 'Maybe you want to lose some weight, maybe workout.'" She added that if people were already very thin, producers would not encourage them to get even skinnier. Male contestants said they too felt the pressure to look fit, stating that producers would ask them to take their shirts off and show off their muscles.
