Have been watching the Biggest Loser with it nauseatingly choreographed tearjerk scenes and wondering how good  or bad this program is !

On the one hand it could be said  may inspire pple to lose weight and Ive no doubt pple do--but on the show I see pple with massive amounts of weight to lose doing the most irresponsible and dangerous things-pushing very lge bodies to the max in exercise feats that I doubt a doctor would approve of.There would have to be copycat fanatics out there believing this could apply to them in spite of the fact they may have health problems they are unaware of.  I still havent seen any advice dispensed ot the vewing public- small print perhaps? So small as to be useless.

On the actual show itself they dont give scenes of health care professionals doing blood pressure checks etc-they need to.

I think one guy collapsed early in from 'a turn'.

Is this show irrisponsible? Or inspirational?

It's boring. Nothing more. Just as bad as that idol show. Cameras waiting for some weak minded person to burst into tears over a petty insult. Why do you watch it?

It's all good. Different tastes for different people. Most people I know love this show. And that's all well and good. It's just me that doesn't like it on an individual basis.

To be honest, watching fat people run around trying to overcome their lardness isn't my idea of good tv watching. Why was this tv show created? -So we can laugh and point our fingers 'at the fat people.'
"Ohhh... look how fat that guy is. Lucky I'm not as big as him."

If I wanted to watch fat people, I'd go to McDonalds.

I think also this show is targetting a mainly woman audience. Would this be a fair assessment?


Oh, and do you know what I really love? -How there's McDonald and fast food commercials on while the Biggest Loser is being broadcast. 
How low can these foodchains go? 

Well trump -you haver an excellent point about the Maccas ads during screening-that IS pretty low and unethical.

Big Brother is worse though. Defies description really-! There are many ethical dilemmmas there but dont easily spring to mind.


Reality TV is very popular and IS the reality these days.

I hope there is no 7th season of Big Brother.]

The last one was the worst I think-turkey slaps and all.

David and his 'boyfriend' having a pash on stage talking to Gretel- that was not a good look .

But there will be a few BBs yet to come I would venture to say.

Well BB and BL maybe be a bit dodgy but what about "Cheaters"?

Now there is a peice of work.

Doesnt that presenter guy wonder if one day he isnt going to get his face touched up?

Yes they are going after cheaters but wouldnt that make you furious all the same?

I wonder if its for real?

LOL

I love the questions the host asks... "What are you doing?" "Would you care to explain?"

If I was the guy caught cheating... I'd be like, "Well, what does it look like, jack-ass?!?!?"

As for Biggest Loser I want Damien to win-he was about 216 kgs at 1st weigh in and hes lost about 50 kgs...he was dangerously overweight.

Munnalita is annoying-she controls and manipulates the others by emotional black mail  ' OOOhhh , feel sorry for me, I want to have a baby". Just not on.! Dishonest .
