I definitely think it's a great show but it would be nice if there was a weight loss show that kept up with people while they were in real life environments and they showed you how they were doing a year later.
I know they do updates and things of that nature but a lot of people end up gaining all the weight back.

So many big contestants this season. Lots of weight to give week in and week out. Is the season even long enough for most of them? Sad to see anyone have to leave after week one, they all need so much help.

Agreed, and I think the one who was picked kinda got the short end of the stick. Pecentage-wise, she did much better than her partner. And while it may not be a politically correct opinion, I think a strong case could be made for sending home the woman who was still in the hospital. Because, well, she was still in the hospital. |

The main problem I have with this show, though, is its title. "The Biggest Loser". Just not a fan of the double meaning there. But overall, I think the show is indeed inspiring, and does some good.

I would agree with you if the contestents were just simply overweight. But, I can't imagine that this group can lose weight in a real life environment. |
