The Biggest Loser

[ExRhapsody]

Has anyone ever watched The Biggest Loser?
Well, little fact: one of the winners two years ago was actually peeing blood by the time of the final weigh-in because of the outrageous body cleanse he was doing to lose those last stingy pounds. After he won he immediately gained > 30 lbs back.

I wouldn't be surprised if more than half the contestants gained the weight back, if only because in your normal life you can't focus all of your attention just on losing weight. And you also don't have $250,000.00 dangling in front of you to convince you to avoid eating that second piece of cake.

For those of you who don't know ~ a 'cleanse' is when you only drink fluids and stimulants (for 3 days to a week) that encourage your body to expel water and toxins. You basically lose water weight and become dehydrated if you aren't replacing that water.

I thought the show was wonderful when it first aired and bravo-ed the positive messages about healthy eating and an active lifestyle. Now after the latest season, it all is beginning to smell strangely of the stench of reality television BS and sleazy marketing. Really, could Subway possibly be mentioned a little less in the next season? Their food is gross.

I never watched this show. These kind of shows never really attracted me. But from what you said it sounds interesting. May check it out one day.....

A bunch of fat people on a reality show to see who can lose the most amount of weight and then mock the ones that couldnt? You just have to love tv.

yea there is even an arabic version of it ,and there is this guy , the second seasons winner that looks disgustingly thin in the final weigh-ins but i no nothing bout him now
but seriuslly the show might change a human's life and as u said the good thing bout it is the positive messages aboout healthy eating and active lifestyle.

Personally: You suck for not enjoying subway.

As for the show, it's just a way to make the producers money by forcing people into life changes and calling it t.v. If you can't change without the temptation of money (The prize for the contestants) then you can't be expected to keep your life in that fasion the instant that you aren't competing.

I dont watch "reality TV". I never was a fan of putting people in awkward positions on live air and trying to convince everyone who watches that this is how the world really is.

However... I would watch a show if they had a giant larger-than-life drying machine, put 20 fat people in it, and then set it for half an hour as they bounced around furiously in every direction.

As opprobrious as it appears to be, the stakes should be their futile existence.

Wouldn't the biggest loser be the person who started this thread...hint hint ExRhapsody

There's something strangely hypnotising and yet demeaning and humiliating about the weigh-in's at the end of each episode

I don't see why they make them take their tops off before weighing themselves. It doesn't make that much of a difference does it?

Guess ppl really want to see them *wobble*wobble* haha

hehe, i have seen this show before. it's fun to watch the contestants exercise for the first time. you know they wished to god they hadn't signed up for the show and were sitting at home eating a sandwich.

The contestants want to look thin but after loose all that weight they still look fat, no offence.
