Below Deck Down Under & The Biggest Loser
Reality TV is having an awakening right now; Bethenny Frankel announced on her Instagram that she is entering the fight for reality show casts and crews to unionize. She is working with top-notch lawyers Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman, who sent a letter to NBC that they are planning a class action lawsuit against the network with over 80 people signing on so far to talk about mistreatment while filming Bravo shows for the last 15+ years. This is BIG news.
Today, we are discussing two shows under the NBCUniversal/Bravo umbrella accused of mistreating their casts--Below Deck and The Biggest Loser.
