A Challenge to Face

With competition becoming tougher, talents of a network can no longer stay complacent and confident they cannot be replaced. No one is indispensable, as almost every month, new talents are making their way into the station’s fold. Hence, the older talents who have lost patience or realized they have no guarantee for future projects, are moving out as well. Nonetheless, others have remained loyal and have no plans of changing management.

The pressure to prove one’s capabilities even after years of establishing one’s career can take its toll on any seasoned performer. Beleaguered Performer (BP) is in the midst of proving what she can do, as her network is now overflowing with talented performers and some are showing new styles that could push BP out of the picture. However, BP is homegrown and has proven that she can deliver when needed. Now, BP is facing another dilemma.

Being shown on screen adds ten pounds to one’s weight. Thus, even if a person is slim in person, he/she will look heavier while on television or big screen. Today’s TV screens are so clear that anyone appearing on a televised show will no longer be able to hide the slightest blemish. What more if extra pounds were added?

If fans of BP are missing her performances, rumors have it that BP received the feared ‘Fat Memo,’ or the reminder from the higher-ups that a talent needs to shed a few pounds to look good on TV. Such memo is not rare, as several celebrities from various stations have admitted to receiving the gentle reminder. As they wanted to continue their career, they hit the gym.

In the case of BP, her alleged weight gain has led to her non-appearance in the shows of her network. She already has few exposures and until she gains the desired form, she cannot be seen on air, as per the alleged memo. Her absences might subsequently give way to showcasing the younger and more talented singers. Moreover, not being seen can lead to speculations of pregnancy or other possible concerns bashers can think of.

‘Weight loss can change your whole character. That always amazed me: Shedding pounds does change your personality. It changes your philosophy of life because you recognize that you are capable of using your mind to change your body.’ – Jean Nidetch
