There have been some major revelations this week about the contestants on The biggest Loser. I'm sure you have heard or seen it on social media. If not, this is whats going on...
Here's the rest of the article if you care to read it.
Now I don't doubt that what Kai is alleging happened. And I am sure that more than what is wrote went on.
But come on people, what do you expect?
You are applying to be on a National Televesion show, with HUGE ratings and sponsors. What did you think was going to happen?
Did the contestants from the 2nd season on honestly think that the 1st season contestants lost all that weight that quick in a completely "normal" way? Its TV people!
When your only job is to lose weight while your on the show, than don't be surprised that they would have you working out 4-7 times a day.
Limiting your calories? Uh yeah that's how you lose weight super fast. Did you actually think they would have you eating a normal balanced 12-1800 calories a day diet? NO!
Were you really that "surprised" that they isolated you in a hotel room and watched you like a hawk while the show is taping? Come on, they are making millions from sponsors and they don't need contestants spoiling the season. IT'S TV!
Speaking of sponsors, uh did they think that they would be eating fruits and vegis all day? Hell no, your eating the food from the companies that fund the show. Its not rocket science people!
Theres a reason why the trainers with a bigger name have stepped away ALOT! They have too much to lose in their own careers to be tied to a controversial issue. Hello, Jillian has now left for 3rd time. Jillian just stay away!!! Bob needs to take note and FOLLOW!
I do watch the show. I like the show. I have met a couple people from the show.
Do I believe the show? Sure, we see the weightloss.
Does it make me feel I can do the same at home and have the same results? NO!
Do I think what they do is healthy? NO!
But I also am smart enough to know that its TV. Its all about ratings and sponsors.
Did these upset past contestants read their contracts before signing? You know darn well it said all of this stuff in it in some way, shape, or form. If it didn't, SUE. That hasn't happened yet, so you know its in their contracts that they chose to sign.
Would I go on the show if I had 100lbs to lose knowing all of this went and goes on? Sure, again its TV, what do you expect!
Will I keep watching it? Sure, its almost an organized train wreck you cant turn away from.
I do hate that some of the contestants had a bad experience for our viewing pleasure, but again what did they expect was going to happen when they signed a contract for a primetime national TV show?
Come on people WAKE UP!
It is TELEVESION!!!
What are your thoughts?
