I agree with you on the weight issue. I believe he did have a wakeup call. His comments in the TW mag had an undertone of that realization (I’m sure if he actually watched the “Adrift” episode, he was horrified by just how bloated his face was throughout that entire episode). Also, one of the people that attended the Goose & Cukoo (sp?) event, reported that the muffin top (which she/he really loved) was virtually gone and that he's been working out with a trainer.
As for the pictures, IMO, his face didn't appear bloated, just healthy. When I compare the pictures to those from one of his earlier concerts (the one in which he wore the leather hat) and his appearance at the Rift, I honestly see an improvement. No, his cheekbones are not as prominent, but, as I've stated before, to me, he looks so much better (and healthier) with a fuller face. Regarding the camera adding weight, as was reported from the Rift recaps, the boy is as thin as a rail, but with the baggy clothes he wears, you can’t tell. I mean even the jacket from the G&C is baggy and stretched out of its original fitted shape (compare the pictures), and I won’t even get into the baggy jeans (no pun intended).
In regards to the 5 episodes, initially I was upset over the news, but now, I’ve decided to just go with the flow and hope for the best.
