Hey everyone! So what's your take on biggest loser? Is it your motivation or do u think it's inhumane?
Which person or people are you rooting for? Which team do u dislike most and why?

    I'm kind of on the fence- my fave person is Courtney of the blue team- how cute is she! Can't stand the yellow team they act like such know it alls and I feel bad for the red team for pulling such great weight loss and the yellow team attacked them!! If you notice the yellow team had actually lost the lowest percentage and they were immune

    I love the show, but hate the game play aspect. I hated last seasons winner cause he stabbed someone in the back. And that person came back with a much higher % lost, they should have one it all. I love that it tell everyone that its possible to lose the weight without surgery. I know they're regime is not realistic, but it is within the realm of the possible.

    I love it! It's one of the best motivators of my week! I keep telling myself if the people that weigh that much can do it, so can I!

    I love, love it! It is motivating for me. They give everything they have each week to be healthier. It is a great show! My favorites are of course, light Blue team and Green team. I kind of feel bad for the unknowns because we haven't gotten to know them as much as Bob and Jillians team. Anyway, BIG FAN!!

    I love it, but hate the game playing and backstabbing. I'm participating in a "Biggest Loser" competition at work. 4 weeks in,
    and so far so good. There are prizes associated with the three biggest losers, but I'm really only doing this to help me meet my personal goal.

    I Like the show as a SHOW..its entertainment that does change some people's lives...i DID like Arthur until this evening! OMG....I think I am going to root for Brittney or Moses...

    But it also keeps me motivated...if anything, it gives people hope. It's real..people really do lose weight (even if it's in large amounts at one time..blah blah...) People do drop pounds..and prove that anyone can do it...

    Hate it--but mostly because I hate all "reality tv."

    I don't like the manipulative aspect, and I thin it speaks very poorly of us as a society that we feed on that kind of stuff greedily and with no shame--like the Romans watched slaves-cum-gladiators or Christians being thrown to the lions.

    not motivating in anyway

    but good reality tv show. that's all it is.

    people who think they are healthy should really think again.

    many of them don't keep all the weight off. some gain it all back. some gain half back. majority gain a good 20 to 30 pounds once the show is over. you can tell from seeing them on the finale and then seeing them next season during the marathon episode

    LOVE it!!!! What Arthur did tonight just made me dislike him even more. His dad is alright though.
