For health reasons I had to lock out and Net Nanny NBC's The Biggest Loser back when it first started. It made me fat. There I'd be downing a bag of chips and a six pack of soda running for refills during the commercials waiting to see who was going to be chewed out and spit up next. I hated the show. People cried, people felt rejected, people fought, people back stabbed, trainers screamed and families were separated. I felt like I was watching the evening news and all the news was bad.

Call me opinionated but I don't like how the show is structured - people lose extraordinary amounts of weight exercising for expanded periods of time they'd never otherwise have in life sending the message that if you exercise six to eight hours a day every day and cut calories dramatically in an artificial setting, you can lose half your body weight in a few months.

I don't like the bickering, I don't like the competition aspect of it all, I don't like seeing how sad the people voted off get and I do not care for the script written for the host. It takes away from who she is. That said, we know the networks are making their money on the show and if the show is in fact motivating people to lose weight safely and teaching them to eat right as in healthy, I'm all for it. It doesn't matter what motivates America to slim down and shape up so we can lose the title, The World's Fattest Nation, it just matters that we do. —Kathleen Daelemans

We Agree To Disagree—Jennifer Sader has a BIG secret...
I'm almost ashamed to admit that I can't watch NBC's The Biggest Loser without tearing up. That show plays me like a violin. It combines my favorite things: makeovers, weight loss and drama. Even the hokey things, like the cliffhanger at every commercial and the huge scales work for me.

I'm rooting for the guy from Washington with the huge Afro. He seems like a genuinely good guy and a lot of fun. Actually, I'm rooting for all of them including the ones who have been sent home to try on their own to win their way back onto the show. I'm even rooting for all the people watching at home who want to lose.

The only one I'm not rooting for is Kim, the new trainer. I think that they realize she won't play well with the audience because they seem to limit her on-camera time. I especially don't like the gratuitous cheesecake shots of her getting out of a pool in a red bikini... They don't show Bob all oiled up in a Speedo, because the fans identify with him as a person, not a bimbo. I wish they had picked a woman trainer with a similar persona. My guess is some exec at NBC made the (bad) decision to go for a cute, perky blonde this time around.
