The following is compiled speech from assorted advertisements for “Dining with Jodie,” a show from the Feast Network, famed for its controversial host, written for purpose of study. In between excerpts is explanations of behind the scenes goings on of the show, for sake of context.

“Hey there, I’m Jodie, and I’ve got a heck of a hankerin’ for some good cooking! Join me on Friday nights for new episodes of
Jodie's show was immediately as successful as it was controversial. Seemingly flirting with gluttony and unrestrained hedonism, Jodie's show centered around her systematically devouring an entire restaurant menu. This was usually over the course of a week or more, necessitating five meals a day: sometimes with multiple entrees, often with appetizers. Jodie would end each episode giving the audience her favorite and least favorite dishes the place had to offer. As early as episode one, viewers could tell this intense approach had an impact on on Jodie's figure. High estimates placed Jodie's food intake in the first few episodes as needing to be as much as 9000 calories to keep her recording schedule. The outrage around these numbers, however, increased viewership. Possibly from respect to dedication, or possibly from morbid curiosity, people tuned in to watch Jodie gorge.

“Hey Feast Network, it’s Jodie, from Dining with Jodie! Where I put my gut to the test against America's best cooking! Follow me across the nation as I take on every menu I come across- the whole thing. Think I can handle it? Well, I know I'm feeling hungry, so come and join me on Dining with Jodie!”

Part way through season one, Jodie's producers seemed to acknowledge that Jodie's reputation for gluttony was part of their growing success, and started issuing ads to play on the size of her task over her personality as a host. At the time of shooting the second ad, however, there was a problem. The episodes were filmed well in advance, and Jodie was far bigger by the time the ad was filmed than she was in the episodes that were airing. But, when fans saw how big Jodie was going to get, curiosity seemed even more piqued, and ratings soared.

“Howdy there, folks! Name's Jodie, and down on Dining with Jodie, the only thing bigger than the menus I'll be eating, is my-” (viewers note:Jodie smacks her belly) “determination to polish them off! We're going to check out all of America's finest dining and put it to the test- one meal at a time! So why don't you come see what's cooking and check out Dining with Jodie!”

The producers started playing on Jodie's growing body here, acknowledging that her weight gain was more than an unavoidable side effect of the show- it was the show. How much Jodie could eat and her commitment to do it was something fans wanted, and the weight gain proved she was the real deal. Hate campaigns started at this point. Many attempts from health advocates, anti-obesity initiatives, and certain Christian groups tried to discredit the show and have it pulled for endorsing gluttony. Rumors circulated at this point about just how much Jodie had gained, and settled on low estimates that each episode averaged to three pounds. Given the show's 20 episode seasons, Jodie was growing quickly as season 2 ended.

“Hey Feast Network! I'm Jodie, and in this season of Dining with Jodie, I'm taking on America's biggest menus! Giant food, giant options, giant meals, and a giant appetite to take them on! Think I can't do it? You got another thing coming!”

This third season of Dining with Jodie focussed on pushing Jodie to her limits. The producers actively searched for restaurants with huge portions and menus to show off Jodie's capabilities, and increase the spectacle of the show. Estimates had Jodie's weight gain was 6 lb per episode and her food intake topped 12 000 calories daily. According to behind the scenes sources, she never once complained about the extreme physical demands of the job.

“Hey all, I'm Jodie, and on Dining with Jodie, I bite off a lot more than most people can chew! You can't do what I do without looking at a very different person in the mirror pretty quick, but lucky for you, you don't have to! On Dining with Jodie, I'll take on every menu I can, so you can get the best and skip rest! So come on and pull up a seat!”

The producers of Dining with Jodie ran into PR problems when a spree of copycats started to show up. Young people, often women, gorging themselves on entire menus as a challenge. This ad was put out to deter the act, but Jodie refused to outright tell people not to. Instead, she offered a series of ads where she warns people they might 'get a little thicker around the middle,’ 'lose their waist to the taste,’ or 'need to buy pants at a new store’, colloquialisms meant to say they'd get fat. This apparently deterred some, but not all, copycats. Some saw the weight gain as proof of commitment and part of the point. Additionally, Jodie had become a figure in the feederism community, where sexual thrill from weight gain is the core factor. Supposedly the copycats were often 'feedees,’ or people who derive sexual pleasure from getting fat. Jodie and her staff made no comments about this. Her show had grown into a phenomenon hit among ‘feeders’ and ‘feedees,’ as they identify. Feeders being people who enjoy others gaining weight, and feedees being those who enjoy gaining weight themselves. For feeders, she was a dream girl, and for feedees, she was a goal.

“Hey Feast Network- my name is Jodie, and on this season of Dining with Jodie, I’m gonna give my gut a breather, and see if healthy eating has to mean unhappy eating! We’re going to be touring America’s finest diet dining experiences, and see if my belly can be as happy going as it was growing! Tune in for a good time done good on Dining with Jodie!”

The two years of exaggerated over-eating had a massive impact on Jodie’s body. The Feast Network saw their star losing mobility at an alarming rate, while pleas from parents and doctors nationwide begged for Jodie to be removed entirely. The network, not wanting to lose a major show, chose instead to make the next season of Dining with Jodie be themed around healthy eating. Additionally, they enforced an exercise routine and severely limited her food intake outside of work. Her ‘eat an entire menu’ gimmick was also replaced with a more moderate ‘taste an entire menu’ mission. The results were that Jodie shrank nearly as fast as she’d been growing over previous seasons. In fact, because they weren’t pre-filming ads, people could see the new, thinner Jodie ahead of time, which caused an immense stir in her fan base. People immediately noticed that along with her smaller body and somewhat sagging skin, Jodie was looking tired, pale, and miserable. She was far more mobile, and her skin was better, but overall, at least as far as the fans could see, she wasn’t looking like the Jodie they knew. That aside, ratings skyrocketed for the first few episodes (either out of approval or renewed curiosity) but this quickly diminished. While casual viewership soared briefly, they lost interest within a few episodes, and her longtime fan-base abandoned the new Jodie. Ratings were at an all-time low, and the producers didn’t know what to do.

“This fall, Jodie’s back, and I’m bigger than ever! I gave healthy eating its dues, and decided its more fun to feast! This season I’m taking my appetite worldwide to see if the world can handle this All-American appetite! This season is more meals, more menus, and more me than ever before. So make sure you stay tuned to Dining with Jodie!”

After the dire failure of ‘Diet Jodie’, the network changed tracks and decided that “fat Jodie is where the money is,” an exact quote taken from internal memos. Jodie’s new gimmick was a season dedicated to travel, and Jodie took on the biggest menus she could find in twenty different countries over this season. It became apparent that her season of starvation had left Jodie’s body primed to gain weight, and she was above her old highs in no time. The studio leaned into it, and made Jodie’s size a primary focus of ad campaigns. Her international travels were also used to advertise her to the world at large: “Bigger than Ever” and “Globe-Sized Fun” (an ad which featured Jodie wearing a dress with a picture of the earth on her stomach). Overall, this strategy was marginally successful; it didn’t go quite as far as before the ‘Diet Jodie’ fiasco, but she recovered some of her popularity domestically. Additionally, she did find some overseas appeal, but usually from people wanting to make fun of a fat American who eats a lot and gets out of breath walking into a restaurant. Jodie seemed not to mind that the editing of the show started to lean closer to a reality show about the struggles of the extremely obese than a restaurant tour, instead focusing on the increased ratings.

“Hey Feast Network! I’m Jodie, and I’ve got an appetite bigger than I am! (Jodie starts waddling through a set restaurant, with giant platters of food being carried past her) This season of Dining with Jodie, we’re taking that appetite to the limits- (viewer’s note: Jodie goes up to, and with great effort, sits down into a power chair) whatever it takes! (viewer’s note: Jodie wheels herself up to a table, where all the food has been assembled) I’m going across the world for every big eating challenge there is, to get my face plastered on every wall that’ll have it! Watch Dining with Jodie to see me take on our biggest plates yet!”

Running low on gimmicks, but wanting to keep momentum and viewership, the producers decided to rebrand Dining with Jodie to feature ‘food challenges.’ Jodie would still eat an entire menu, but would end with specific challenges of oversized food. The world’s biggest steaks, burgers, bowls of pasta and more. This season was infamous immediately, due to Jodie’s size having confined her to a powered chair for most of her time. She was still able to walk without immense difficulty, but either due to her publicly reported foot and knee pain, or from the privately reported demand for ratings, she was chair-bound. The plan seemed to work, too. Her ratings went up at first, skyrocketing to match the heights of popularity she saw before her diet season. But two episodes into the filming the next season, the unthinkable happened:

Dining with Jodie was cancelled.

It started with an old college boyfriend of Jodie’s who spoke with a tabloid magazine. He claimed that in college, Jodie had revealed to him that she was a ‘feedee,’ and wanted to gain weight for sexual thrill. He said he’d broken up with her shortly after this came to light, but kept it to himself. That is, until he saw that Jodie was getting rich and famous while ‘getting her rocks off,’ as he put it. This wouldn’t have been as dangerous as it was, except that at each opportunity to deny the claims, Jodie sidestepped the conversation. This came to a head on a talk show, where Jodie was pinned down, and forced to answer straight. After a few minutes of probing and leading questions about why she wouldn’t say that he was lying, she said this:

Jodie: Okay. You want to know why I won’t say that I’m not, or that he’s lying? Because he’s not. I am a… I’m a feedee.
(Crowd gasps and boos)
Jodie: But I’m not trying to get off on people watching me eat! I’m doing a real show, and it’s hard work, and I don’t always love the results! I’m just more okay with the results of this show than another person would be.
Host: But it does turn you on? Getting fat?
Jodie: I- Yes.
(Crowd boos)
Jodie: I’m sorry I didn’t mention this at some point, but my personal sexuality doesn’t need to be part of my work!
Host: ‘But you’re gaining weight because of your job?’
Jodie pauses for a long time.
Host asks: How much weight have you gained, Jodie?
Jodie: I… I’ve gained 450 pounds, last time I checked.
(Jodie blushes. The crowd reacts violently. Jodie struggles out of her chair, clearly upset, and the host goes to comfort her. Jodie eventually gets out of her chair, and waddles off stage.)

Dining with Jodie ended that night. The handful of episodes for the next season that had been filmed were included as a Blu-ray bonus for the final season. Unsurprisingly, that box set was the best selling Dining with Jodie season. After the crash of her series, Jodie toured talk-shows, answering questions about what she planned to do next. She also wrote a tell-all autobiography about the event, including her ‘secret feeders’ she’d been dating throughout her career. In the book, she detailed that she’d brought her show to the attention of the feederism community, posting it under a pseudonym, and enjoying people’s reactions to the series. Supposedly, the reason she looked so dire in the ‘diet Jodie’ season was that she was going through a deep depression, since the season had lost her a couple of her lovers, and the feederism community had turned on her.

But what about now? To the world at large, Jodie has disappeared, but to the feederism community, she’s still a famous face. Not just for her show, but for her work as a ‘fetish webmodel,’ where she makes videos for sale, focusing on her continued weight gain. Without the support of her show, she has slowed the speed of her gains, but is now barely mobile and weighs just over 800 lbs. She continues to post regularly within the community, and themes many of her videos off of Dining with Jodie, devouring whole menus through delivery services. So, if you really miss her show, you can still catch something akin to (but pretty different from) Dining with Jodie.
