In Third Rock From The Sun the slimming club was called Fat Losers. At the start people had to say 'My name's ------------- and I'm a Fat Loser'

I'm still laughing about that cardboard cutout over a day later.

That cardboard cut out of fat Sonia was brilliant.
It just reminded me of the Natalie Cassidy sketch

I think it must have been written as a good natured teasing of Natalie Cassidy - there's no other explanation for the plot!

Was that cardboard cutout for Sonia for real?

I think so, yes. It was probably a promo for one of Cassidy's dvds.

I think that it's possible that Natalie Cassidy herself was very keen on the storyline because it shows the changes that she's made to he lifestyle on television and in real life which to me could only do good things for sales for her DVD. It's not a bad thing for Natalie to show off how much weight she's lost in the past so I can't see her being mad about the storyline if that makes sense.

On a side note I really haven't hated Sonia as much as I thought I would when she returned. If anything she's quite likeable although I wish they'd either end her marriage to Martin or bring him onto the show

to me, it did look like Sonia's head had been superimposed on a large body BUT having said that - Natalie was a large girl, lost a shed load of weight and has put some back on again so it COULD have been her body........ just the head looked really odd......

Could Fatblasters be the alternate to what was once the book club?

I want the book club back.

Yeah that's what I thought! Trying to remember if that was what she looked like when her and Martin left in 2007?

They should bring in Marjorie Dawes from Little Britain's Fat Fighters for an episode, I don't see why not- Lou and Andy had a cameo in Neighbours.

I want her to shout "fat cow!" at certain members, and for them to bring back Zainab so she can say "Do it again" and "What's that my love?" whenever Zainab talks.....

It's a shame Heather isn't in it now, I could imagine Marjorie insulting her and then Shirley getting involved, then the two would fight.

My money would be on Marjorie.

she was always a larger lady but Im sure she wasnt as large as the cardboard cutout.......... she slimmed down drastically when she lost the weight too (almost too thin if you ask me) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Natalie-Cass...7B2R4FWSAT14P5

I think she looks good now

I'm loving fatblasters it's the new book club! It's great that it's attended by all the oldies and giving them some much needed screen time as well as interaction with one another. Recently all the oldies have been confined to interacting with their families so it's nice to see them with each other for a change. Sonia is also far less irritating than she was on her previous stint and actually quite a likeable character now.
