I saw bits & pieces of this show here and there a few months ago. I was simultaneously appalled and intrigued.

Then I completely forgot about it.

Did Fox pull it in the middle of its run, leaving viewers wondering about the conlusion? Or did it conclude and I simply brain-farted?

If the conclusion aired, how did it turn out? Who was the Mystery Boss who was actually pulling the strings?

I wasn’t following it, but I heard here that it got cancelled in the middle of the run, but that Fox was going to have the rest of the episodes available on its website for the hardcore fans. Both of them. I don’t know how it turned out.

I wouldn’t hold your breath on those web episodes; apparently they were promised almost a month ago and are still [“coming soon”](http://www.fox.com/bigfat/). For what it’s worth, the relevant [TWoP thread](http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3119547&st=300) indicates the show experienced legal problems and it’s rumored that the “boss” will be revealed as

a chimp with a Trump wig.

I don’t know why I looked, but Episodes 6 and 7 are up on [Fox’s website now.](http://www.fox.com/bigfat/)
