The Biggest Loser Show

Well you knew this one was coming sooner or later. I have to admit that I do watch this show occasionally when its on. I love to see the determination, friendships and success of these contestants. But this show has come up in the news again charging that the media is exploiting overweight people and that the treatment of the contestants is harsh and the performance expectations might even cross the line.

These contestants sign up for these shows on their own hoping to win the million dollar prize. Their arms are not being broken to get them to sign on. They have seen the show before they signed on and know what will be expected of them. So if the trainers tell them to run faster or do more sit ups and they're ready to die,  they do it for the chance at the MONEY!

If you get a chance, check out this show if you haven't already. It airs on NBC and you can find out when the next series will be on and watch repeat episodes on-line.
