I freely admit to being a reality show junkie. Give me a good episode of Dog: The Bounty Hunter or 19 Kids and Counting anyday! But one show I have never watched religiously is The Biggest Loser. Since I'm serious this time about losing the weight, I decided to tune in and watch this season.
Last night I sat down to watch and quickly realized this is not just about losing weight. It's strategy and game playing and making alliances ala Survivor. And I'm not sure how I feel about that. I did find myself rooting for certain people during the challenges and I guess that means I am forming an attachment to them. I am interested to tune in next week and see how they are progressing. But I guess I was looking for a bit more from the show.
They talked alot about "passing it forward" once you leave the show but does the show pass what they have to teach on to us? I don't have a personal trainer at home but I would love to know what their workout schedule consists of. I would love to know how many calories, what type of foods, and maybe some recipes of their meals. (Besides the obvious "commercials" for certain foods they introduce the people to ie: Tina and the blender drink).
Does the show ever do this? Do I need to give it more time?
What are your opinions of The Biggest Loser?
