...would you? For the most part I think being on ANY reality TV show sounds like pure hell. Most people, IMO, make big arses out of themselves on such shows. However, I enjoy watching many of them so what does that say about me? Please don't tell me cause I don't want to know! I divide reality shows in mind into "trashy & ridiculous but fun to watch" - The Bachelor, The Real Housewives etc. "Respectable & interesting to watch but I am not sure if I would ever be a cast member" - The Biggest Loser, Top Chef etc and "So trashy/annoying and/or boring that I can't even watch" - The Jersey Shore, Kardashians etc. I am sure these lists vary for everyone. Anywhoos, I have never been big enough for The Biggest Loser but if they had a show for people my size I have often wondered if I would go on. The opportunity to get in the best shape of your life vs. the opportunity to make a complete *kitten* out of yourself in front of millions. Hmmmmm. What to do?

    Abso-freaking-lutely! To be able to focus on working out for that many hours a day, with none of the home/work responsibilities - yes I would! I'd miss the kids and hubby, but I'd be getting healthy for them.

    Mmmmm, would I be a contestant on the biggest loser... That is a loaded question. Yes on one hand I would looooovvvvee to just focus on myself for a change and really just on myself. To have a trainer and a group of people there for the same reason to lose weight and be healthy. No on the other hand because I would have to be on TV showing all my "short comings".!! Also I would so totally miss my kids and my husband. It would be a toss up for me.

    Fck no. IMO they don't portray the contestants with much dignity & don't say much (if anything) about the dangers of going from zero fitness to excessive & prolonged training, not to mention the dangers of losing weight so quickly, period. How is the average person supposed to feel good about losing a pound in a week when the contestants are b*tching about losing less than 10? Ridiculous.
