Nigeria's first weightloss reality show - The faSttest shedder

Four finalists have emerged in Nigeria’s 1st Weightloss Reality TV Show - The faSttest shedder. According to Seyi Olusore, producer and designer of faSttest shedder, “it has been a life-changing adventure with well-known fitness and wellness experts who have helped the shedders achieve weightloss in a careful and safe environment via various careful and safe Diet/Exercise routines.”
What started out with 10 contestants in the faSttest shedder House is now down to four. The finalists are Debbie Ogundiran, Zainab Kashaam Eniola, Funmilola Oke Yetunde, and Nneka Agbanusi Nwando. 


Auditions/Screenings took place in February 2014, at Fuzion Fitness Centre, Maryland, Lagos and was conducted by 3 Judges - Maje Ayida, Tayo Badejo, Trisha Maja. 20 contestants were selected to go through the medical screening conducted by the official medical consultant-Dr. Ukot and 10 shedders made it into ‘The faSttest shedder House.’ The screening process involved different physical exercises, medical checks and a required BMI to determine the ability of the individuals to survive the show’s duration. The 10 shedders were required to undergo daily tasks which included all kinds of tasks andcompetitions, exercise routines, Zumba dance and other endurance tasks to test the strength of their determination. Specially selected fitness Trainers (Seyi Olusore, Gbenga Salami, Damilola Omowaiye, Emmanuel Abayomi Cole, Stephen Ezute, and Sani Imonikhe) were in charge of the shedders’ fitness programs, whilst having Dr. Maymunah and Ebun Akinwale handle their Physiological and Diet wellbeing respectively.

At the end of 21 days, all 10 housemates were up for eviction. The eviction show, anchored by BellaRose Okojie, had the shedder whose percentage weight loss for that week was the lowest sent home. Since the show began, the shedders have lost over 122.8kg in the last 51 days and these four finalists lost about 60kg out of that.

The faSttest shedder gets N1,000,000 (1 Million Naira) plus 1 year free gym membership, whilst the first runner-up gets N500, 000 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira) plus 6 months free gym membership and the second runner-up gets a Wardrobe change by RhemieRoses plus 3 months free gym membership.
