One of my all time favorites.

Excellent, a Must See

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I despise reality shows in general and all they have to offer. But I just couldn't say no to the Biggest Loser. I think it's great that they focus on making a healthy individual and motivate them to get in shape rather than watching fake idiots on the Bachelor or Bachelorette trying to find their soul mate by making out with every contestant and contracting mono.For those who think it's unhealthy to lose weight so fast...at least in the show it's accomplished by diet and exercise. Sure you can lose weight with pills in just as short of a time but it's extremely unhealthy that way. To be honest, I was a bit surprised to find this show has a 5.8 rating on IMDb. I was expecting more from an inspirational show such as this.

Reality shows have grown. Gradually, but they have grown. Another thing that has grown is the weight of the people that were sent to these ranches. Now, they have to work off the weight. The Biggest Loser may not be the best reality show, but it is quite interesting to see what people can come up with. No, this is not anything original. There have been reality shows in the past based on weight loss, but this is only a little different. A little different and entertaining like the other shows.What this show basically is about is that overweight people struggle to lose weight in a ranch. They are told not to eat fatty foods, and they are also instructed to do some activities to work off the weight. At the end of the week, one person from a team will have to go back home. They determine this by how much everyone as a group has lost weight. The person who lost the less weight goes home. While this is going on, people from different places of the United States and perhaps elsewhere are struggling to lose weight to make it to the ranch. Once they do, the people already at the ranch are usually so mean to them. Well, I've only seen this show a few times.The goal of this reality show seems pretty interesting, but also a bit rude and mean. People are given star treatment to lose weight, and if they mess up somehow, they will have to leave the team. Once they are home, who knows what can happen to them? They could be back to eating food. That's horrible.Overall, this show is pretty entertaining and interesting. At times, you may find yourself feeling angry, and at times you may be a tearjerker.

Awful, awful, awful times a hundred still doesn't begin to describe how crappy "Biggest Loser" is. Picture this: take two fat couples with nothing interesting to say, humiliate them, and let them work to lose weight, all on prime time television. Am I the only one who thinks that this isn't something people with IQs in the 3-digit area WANT TO WATCH? Everything drags on forever, with the lumps of lard whining on about how losing weight is going to mean so much for them and their lives. Does anyone care? Do they think we care? Do they care if we care? Probably not. I think I'll videotape myself doing crunches and sell it to some major television corporation. If this passes for television, then so can my workouts!

OK. Heres the thing...A handful of people in the whole American population says this isn't a healthy way to lose weight. OK. I'm sorry but I always assumed that diet and exercise was healthier than drugs that can overall give you a stroke or heart attack or surgery that can leave you in a vegetative state and brain dead or kill you on the spot. Maybe thats just me though. These few people claim that it is only short term and can come back even faster but what about the contestants from season 1? TWO YEARS AGO. NONE of them have flabby skin and none of them gained the weight back. This show is not about losing weight. Its about CHANGING YOUR LIFE AND LOSING WEIGHT AND KEEPING IT OFF, which everyone has done successfully. This show is so motivational and inspired me to get up and hit the gym (I have lost 35 pounds from Jan 1st-Jan 27). This is a great show to watch even as a family as opposed to all the other shows that SCREAM sex, drugs, bad language, violence, and murder is whats in.
