Did any of you watch this show last night at 8 on NBC???
I felt myself crying several times listening to these peoples confessionals and such. WOW!!! I want that girl personal trainer. Some of them lost 22 lbs in ONE week…if I saw results like that I’d be THRILLED!

I'd do something like this if my weight wasn't broadcast on national TV. LOL
I caught just a few minutes of it at the end.
It goes down until all of them are down and whoever is still there, whoever is the biggest loser weight wise, wins 250k.
I'm a little leary of this show, only because I think it could be potentially dangerous for those who are not part of the program, but who will try to follow what the show is doing for these people.

I was talking to my therapist about this show. He said it's so sad that ppl do this, and that ppl watch. lol.
And he was telling me how a competition was, "they put cupcakes out and the first to eat one gets booted", i'm like, how is THAT helping anyone?
I dunno. I don't care for reality shows. It plays too much on the emotions of ppl. It hurts them, and I am not to sure about the ppl watching it....meaning. what kind of person LIKES to see other ppl being degraded, ridiculed, hurt, etc, for their own pleasure.
No offense to you ppl who watch, but it's like laughing at a person and enjoying yourself as they are in some sort of pain.

Well, I have to say that I actually thought this show was a completely horrible idea.
I didn't catch it....was too busy playing catch up here, lol! I did think it looked like an ok reality show, but within reason of course. I tend to agree with Kerstin here, some people out in the public might try some of the methods that are being used, under supervision, on the show and have dangerous results.
I'll try to remember to see some of it next week to really get a feel for the show though.
