They sure are. It going to officially air starting January 2016, but they released 1 episode already. I watched it and was pleasantly surprised. It was very similar to the UK version, except the host is a little gentler on the fee-fees of the obeasts. The episode they've released already follows a married couple who are baffled about why they're gaining weight. They claim to eat between 1200-1800 calories a day (ha). The cameras show the guy, who works from home, getting through 6 cups of coffee before 9 am, with each cup containing over 100 calories worth of sugar and cream. The wife eats an entire family sized tub of pretzels, then gets a 400 calorie breakfast sandwich on her way to work. They claim they always cook healthy dinners, and the cameras show that they do, they just "chase" the healthy dinners with a large pizza every night. They're constantly going out to eat and getting shit like cheese fries, wings, burgers, and alcohol. The wife drinks over 1200 calories of tequila in one sitting at a party. All in all, it's gross.  I'm glad it's airing here in the US, and hopefully it will be a wakeup call to a lot of people. It's going to be on the Cooking Channel.
