    (1) Because I don't have a TV.
    (2) Because from the few times I have seen the show outside my home, I think it is, as others have said, complete sensationalized garbage, that pretends to help people while making spectacles of them--basically exploiting them, even if they do get money.
    (3) Because if they treat the children anything like they treat the adults, it constitutes maltreatment IMHO.

    Edited to correct wording.

    My other shows are on :) Honestly, I forgot it was on tonight and I haven't watched in years. I have nothing bad to say about the show, just stopped watching. I actually almost made it on the show, but lost out at the end round. I might try and catch it here and there this season.

    We got rid of cable. We have Netflix and Hulu now, but... eh. *shrug*
    I watched it until I discovered the paleo life and everything on the BL suddenly became conventional wisdom rubbish.

    Why would I watch that utter crap? It proves that some people will only lose weight for $$ or fame..... pity that they don't look very good at the end either.

    I set a very strict time budget for how much TV I allow myself to watch, and shockingly, this doesn't make the cut.

    I'll be watching in a couple of hours. I'm on the west coast. I love the cooking challenges and finding new ways to get delicious tasting, healthy foods. I'm not sure why a majority of people are causing a stink over the show. I like to workout while watching. I liked using Wii Fit Advanced Steps during the Biggest Loser. My Wii Fit is now upstairs, hooked up to the TV without cable. I'll have to find another fun workout to do while the show is on.

    Because honestly the show ticks me off. I would kill to be there, spend hours in the gym, have people tell me what to eat, etc. And it seems like they pick the most pathetic people on the planet who only whine and cry. I mean seriously anyone could lose that much weight if you had someone pushing you constantly in the gym and telling you when and what to eat. It is NOT a realistic show for "normal" people trying to lose weight and be healthier.

    Because I'm watching new reality show, "Dancing with the Biggest Loser for an Extreme Makeover to be the Next American Idol." You can catch it on the Narcissistic Network.

    I'm watching it because......

    1) It's completely unrealistic and I understand that
    2) In no way, shape, or form do I believe that any of this is "real life"
    3) It's mindless entertainment and amuses me
    4) Bob Harper is HOT
    5) I like to watch Jillian yell at people.

    I don't like it its not realistic and I don't think its healthy for the trainers to work them out that hard but that's just my opinion!

    I agree with all of these reasons! Unfortunately, I very rarely watch TV, so when I do catch the show, it's on Hulu and I'm still several seasons behind.

    I don't like reality TV. I don't have time. The methods they use aren't healthy (or so I've heard).

    I am watching the show... garbage or not. I find that it is very motivating. I am a normal person I don't believe that because I watch the show I am going to lose 20 lbs in a week, but I find the show very motivating and I like to lose weight along with the contestants.
