Intro — If you're looking for a problem that many Americans have firsthand knowledge on, weight issues is a good place to start. This can include anything from anorexia, bulimia, obesity, bad nutrition, lack of exercise, etc. The Biggest Loser tackles obesity, usually the morbidly obese. It's unclear how they do it, but somehow with each season, the show becomes more and more successful. This latest season, with one show already in the can, seems headed towards the same trend. — — Premise — The Biggest Loser pits obese people against each other, originally in…

I love reality TV and so I enjoy the Biggest Loser. However, I can't help but complain about how they drag their feet and take forever to do the weigh ins, so they use up their 90 minute time slot. Really the show could be reduced to an hour and be just fine. Also they have at least one shameless plug per episode where the trainer talks about why such and such gum or food item is good. Egads, are they not getting enough money from the regular commercials they broadcast during the show? The positive side of the show is that it is truly inspiring to see people…

This is one show that is definitely must see for me. I am always planning ahead to make sure that I get to see this show. Just something about it that drags me in week after week. I am so excited that there is going to be another "shortened version" this year with couples in January so not too much time between :) I found it odd that the "outcasts" that no one wanted in the beginning ended up being the strongest and completely eliminated the other 2 teams. Sweet revenge perhaps? I think it's a great show and hope it…

The Biggest Loser is a great show. I like the fact that it's not just your average reality show. In the end, the contestants come away with more than just a huge prize or money--they get their lives back. I like seeing how the contestants come in then how they are after they left the show. Sometimes I do not like the reality show aspect since someone has to get voted off each week. And sometimes I do not think the contestants are ready for that. I think they could use more time with the trainers, more time learning what they need to do to get their lives back.…

I love this show. It is so inspiring and positive. I just wish people were voted off for othere reasons than something personal. I think this season, they have dragged out the voting process way too long. I also wish they would change the screen when doing the weigh-in to show their beginning weight (currently it is only stated), weight last weigh-in and the new weight. — I like that they follow-up with the contestants. — I love Jillian and Bob, the new girl can go. —…

The BIggest Loser can always be counted on for a tear-filled moment. Especially after a few weeks that the contestants get to either see or hear from their family members that they haven't seen in weeks. Another favorite part for me is to see how successful these people are once they get home and the contestants family and friends are waiting to welcome them home. WOW!! Great…

A reality show thats reality. Where losing wins. This show has it all and the contestants actually have to earn their prize. Other reality shows are fake but this one is truly inspirational. You don't want anybody to be voted off because you know each and everyone of them is trying so hard to be the biggest…

The biggest loser gets me every time I watch it. I am so inspired by all the people on there. I just wish that I could go to a ranch and have someone kick my butt daily to work out. I have bought the dvds to try and keep up with them at…

My boyfriend and I do not have cable so the only channel we get is NBC. We're big fans of this show and always find it entertaining. It is heartwarming at the end of the show to see how the lives of the people have changed since they lost so much…
