THE BIGGEST LOSER TV SHOW

SAW A DISCUSSION POST ON 'THE BIGGEST LOSER' TV SHOW.   THIS IS MY OPINION AND I WELCOME YOURS. Reply #4 - 01/28/09  8:25pm I despise the show, and although I rarely watch it, I did last night after a friend asked me about it. I thought I'd give it one more try (watching). Personally I do not find it inspiring or entertaining. I find it sick, cruel, irresponsible, humiliating, and dangerous. Feel sorry for any obese person so filled with shame and desperation that they would get weighed on a "cattle scale" in front of the whole world. People then being shamed because 6 to 10 lbs. a week was not ENOUGH, is truly depressing and enraging to me. Any doctor will tell you 2 lbs. a week is a realistic, healthy amount. People should lose 100 lbs. in a YEAR if they need to. I predict this show will end amid great scandal when a person DIES because of this show. Either from the forced brutal workouts or from suicide. That show really plays with people's minds, and the minds of very obese people are brittle from a lifetime of taunts and shame. Reply #4 - 01/28/09  8:25pm
