Despite being on an extreme calorie-restricted diet for 18 months, none of the survivors appear to have lost an ounce of weight. Obviously the entire cast could not be placed on a starvation diet to exhibit weight loss but their clothes all still fit properly.

User Reviews

Better than the last two seasons!

I have to say i was afraid this season would be as bad as the two last seasons but i guess i was wrong. This was s very good start and i think this season is going to be better and better trough the season. The storyline is really good, and some of the characters are very interesting but sadly, some are very boring and poorly written as well.

The first episode is however very good filmed and is beautiful to look at. It is clear that they have used a very big amount of money this season and it needed that. I Am very excited to see Jessica Lange come back later this season who is one of the greatest actresses on the planet and will definetly make this season even better just for the one episode she will be in.

Do not listen to the haters, this episode is great and you should definetly watch it. American horror story is finaly going back to how it was!
