Lizzo needs some dancers for her tour, so she teamed up with Prime Video to find them. Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls is the search for the next big things! And I am not talking about their weight.
The 8-episode first season starts out where we get to meet these future Lizzo dancers, and we find out why they want to dance for one of the greatest singers of this generation. Each one of them has been discriminated against because of their size, but they can move better than skinnier women.
By the end of the episode, we will find out which of the 13 will move on to her top 10. It is during this first elimination that we learn Lizzo doesn’t play by the competition series playbook. Her eliminations are unlike any we have ever seen, and she will keep us on our toes because of it.
Now that we know who is going to move on, it is time for their first competition. The contestants will have to dance to a marching band. Through this challenge, we will get to see how well they learn choreography and how much stamina they have. That is because if they get the job, they will have to dance for 90 minutes every night for several nights a week.
This elimination shows what a huge heart Lizzo has as she talks to the 10 remaining dancers. As each episode goes on, they will confront their pasts and break on through them. They will learn about self-confidence and be proud of who they are in the skin that they are in. They will be challenged mentally and physically and come out better for it.
At the end of the day, we will find out who will dance at Bonaroo with Lizzo. And at the end of that performance, we find out who will get to go on tour with her.
All I can tell you is to expect the unexpected because nothing goes as other reality shows go. Because of that, I love every minute.
Think of it as America’s Top Model, but with heart. Lizzo is the anti-Tyra Banks. She supports all of her contestants and encourages them at every step of the game. Even the eliminations are positive, and they understand why they were eliminated. And they know it won’t be the last time we see them.
We need more reality hosts like Lizzo and more shows like Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
So stream it now because you will enjoy every second of it! And when was the last time you said that about a competition series?
