Sitting here watching The Biggest Loser, there are several things that occur to me -
1. It has to be easy to get the pounds to fall off when you're in such a controlled, artificial environment - recognizing of course that a lot of hard work is involved.
2. It's a fun show, but it's not reality TV, because there's little reality in it.
3. Coleen is ready to throw herself under a bus because she only lost 3lb, which proves the unreality of it all.
4. The show emphasizes the equation that is the bottom line of everything - burn more calories than you take in and you'll lose weight.
5. Kudos to the producers for stretching what could be a 45 minutes program into a two hour episode each week.
