    I find the whole premise of the show to be the worst of the exploitation based "reality" shows.
    Starve the participants then over exercise them, then humiliate them when they break do to the extreme starvation. Nothing they "learn" in the show is sustainable.

    I, too, hate this show. it's so ridiculous, and I hate that people get so into it and that it's on tv at all. Jillian michael's and all of them should be ashamed to be a part of this.
    Let me guess, you will be watching "Honey Boo Boo" Or the "Real Housewives" instead!? I think they are more lame than The Biggest Loser lol

    I love the show, Jillian, Bob and Dolvett! I do not like contestants that are given every chance, and so many experiences and do not appreciate it. I certainly hope this season is better than the last.!

    Why do you think Jillian left the show! She didn't like the way it was ran either! Hopefully they get it right this time.

    If I wanted to see people struggle with their weight I'd go to my family reunion

    bwaaa hhaaaa! THAT was hilarious!

    I'm not a fan of the show at all. As others have said it , unfortunately, does not teach the contestants long term sustainable changes. Isn't that what we all need? Besides, watching the Biggest Loser makes me hungry for some reason. ;-)

    i like watching it as entertainment, and i also tell myself that if they can work out hard, so can i!

    sometimes i workout while watching it, but i ALWAYS want to work out afterwards haha

    i've read all the articles about how terrible the show is behind the scenes.... but its a show! they're just out to make money, and whats wrong with that? i guess... I mean, at least they aren't called "The Biggest Gainer"

    Lol, so I cracked up when Dolvett was stating that the contestants get a free membership to Planet Fitness and what they are doing there, they can take with them and do in the over 600 facilities across the country. HAHAHAHA!!!! Yeah, I'd like to see them grunt and yell while slamming a ball down in any of the other facilities!

    Also, I always roll my eyes when on the first workout, they brutalize the contestants. I KNOW for a fact that if I did that to a client on the first day, they probably wouldn't return. But contestants sign a contract and are stuck in the spot light. There's really NO REASON to make the workout that hard the first time, but again it's great entertainment and get ratings. People like to watch other suffer....................

    I love this show! I think it is great that they are making childhood obesity known on this show.

    I agree with you niner, I thought it was a brutal first workout, and I thought Jillian was really bit-chy to them too, I want to google and find out what happened to the first girl on the team to walk off the show. They could have handled that differently and in my opinion they should have let TC stay. WOW!

    You should be able to see it on Hulu.com, if you watch shows online. (I watch it on Hulu in the US, I can only assume it's not blocked for those in other countries.)

    I love the show! This season is young obese teens only. I have heard there will be no vote off, just helping them learn good eating and exercising habits. Many premises of the show will be changed. Can't wait to see!:smile:

    That's a fantastic development. I hope it doesn't hit the ratings. I have found the Ozzie version to be best, then the US then the (I assume low budget) UK one.

    The UK one does look so low budget compared to the rest. It's embarrassing!

    maybe you should offer them a chance to win 250K? i think people will put up with all kinds of crap when there's cash involved

    also people can leave whenever they want. they arent forced to be there. most just stay as long as they can for the $$
