    Why are there mean, catty people on this show?!? hide show

    I don't watch any other reality tv, and may give up on this show now. Some of the contestants, especially the two older women on the blue team, are just incredibly mean and catty. The black team represents what's best about the show - compassion, support, camaraderie, life-changing opportunities.

    I understand this is a competition, but most of these folks have been through terrible ordeals and struggles in their lives already. Why have mean-spirited, divisive people on the show? Isn't the purpose to provide a supportive environment where all contestants really have an opportunity to succeed? Maybe the producers need to provide counseling to the "ugly" contestants.

    I really hope any member of the black team wins!!

    The Biggest Loser used to be a very inspiring show, but the producers keep adding more and more drama, which really takes away any of the spice the show used to possess. hide show

    The Biggest Loser is a really neat and interesting show. Watching people go from morbidly obese to an average weight in a short period of time is very addictive. The show has always been very emotional too. There are always contestants to feel sorry for and really root for while watching. Some people work so hard that you just feel like they deserve to win everything because they've been held back all of their lives. As the seasons continue, the show really is changing. Instead of focusing on the daily struggles the contestants face, the producers try to film as much annoying drama as possible. Anymore, it seems like the show is about the rivalry between the trainers, which really takes away from the enjoyment. I used to watch this show to be inspired, but now, it is really hard to sit through an entire episode without getting annoyed. The drama is definitely at an all-time high, and it has lost its focus. If they were to start focusing on the contestants' weight loss challenges instead of who made who mad this week, the show might actually get better, but as time goes on, the drama only gets worse than the week before.

    The Biggest Loser is a fantastic show that is both influential and a good reality to watch. hide show

    The Biggest Loser is a really great show. It has transformed in it's challenges, setup, and ideas season after season, but it always has the same goals in mind- Losing weight. I personally like Jillian and Bob and how they train their contestants. I also enjoy how the contestants are so eager to change their lives and get a new fresh slate. In the first three seasons of BL the contestants were either on the Blue team or the Red team, which each had approximately 6-8 players. Season four added the addition of the black team, and now season 5-7 have been about couple or pairs working through challenges as friends or family, which I really enjoy to see, because I've noticed that most of the people lose more weight on campus and at home with the help of a loved one. BL is a teriffic show, and tohough I hate that they do advertise for stuff such as ziploc and extra gum on the show, it is still a very decent and great show to watch, and well worth your time. -BJ 8)

    inspiring show, interesting people, dramatic trainers... hide show

    I just recently started watching this show and I have fallen in love with it. Though I wouldn't care if I missed an episode, it's still a show that I look forward to seeing and it's a good reality show. The show isn't cut throat like most reality shows and it's nice to see the kindness and helpfulness that comes from the participants in the show. I love Bob; I think he really cares for the contestants, though he is a bit over-dramatic. I find Julian annoying and rude, but her method of training is successful. Overall, just a solid reality show that is inspiring and entertaining every week.
