Bahamas wins while TV contestants lose

GRAND Bahama is expected to get a major boost in media and audience attention after playing host to the popular television show “Extreme Weight Loss”.

Millions of viewers are expected to tune in to the two episodes of the reality TV show which were shot on the island.

The first will air this Wednesday. The island served as the backdrop to several physical challenges in which cast members participated in their overall quest to shed the pounds.

Grand Lucayan Beach and Golf Resort and the Bahamas Film and Television Commission partnered with the show’s producers to identify breathtaking and exciting locations for the show. The episodes will take viewers to scenic ocean and landscapes in Freeport and other areas of Grand Bahama.

“We are excited that areas such as Peterson Cay and Owl’s Hole will be highlighted for close to three million viewers,” said Clarence Rolle, general manager of the Bahamas Film & Television Commission.

“We appreciate even more that Extreme Weight Loss found ways to integrate Bahamian culture into the episodes. So viewers will see more than sun, sand and sea. They will also get special insights into our cuisine, music and dance.”

“Extreme Weight Loss” is hosted by Chris and Heidi Powell, married personal trainers and authors who are dedicated to assisting others in becoming and saying physically fit.
