Biggest Loser in the news.

This article is long, but if anyone wants to skim through it, I'd love to hear some thoughts.
Does this sound accurate? Is this a result of the crazy extreme approach of the BL show, or is it representative of significant weight loss as a whole?
It sounds so hopeless for so many people! Thoughts?

Biggest Loser is crap TV entertainment, a fake reality TV show meant to get ratings not inform people. It should be ignored, or only noticed for what it's doing wrong to the subjects on the show. Get your information from qualified professionals, not TV entertainers.

Errr... I wasn't actually getting any info *from* the Biggest Loser. I don't even watch it! This article is about research done on BL participants.

Thanks! I actually tried to search for this before I posted mine-- I guess I didn't do it right. I'll take a look.
