Rep Power: 0 | | | Why is everyone always crying on..
The Biggest Loser? I can't say that im a fan or even a religous watcher. As a matter of fact, for some reason I was watching the "Style" channel at five o'clock this morning. The Biggest Loser came on, it was an episode from 2006, on a cruise ship. They did this ridiculous challenge about running food orders to different parts of the ship. The "get" was that they were delivering them to their family. Why all of the crying? Then they were all balling at the end when someone needed to be voted off.
Why can't they just lose the damn weight and stop adding ridiculous drama to the show?
I don't know about you but I can't recall the last time I had a massive breakdown while running on the treadmill.

Rep Power: 666757 | | I know ratings probably play a big part in the show. especially in choosing what parts to show and what to cut. BUT with that being said, these people are like a little family. They develope this bond. I mean they do EVERYTHING together on the show. Your gonna have people you love and people you hate when your in that kind of environment. I'm sure it is a very emotional experiance for the members. Besides, they aren't in this for the ratings. They aren't gonna cry on demand b/c the producers tell them too...ya know??
Thats my 2 cents

My thoughts exactly newbride. 
It is a show, but these are real people - losing lots of weight.
