The Biggest Loser

So this has stayed with me for a few days.  I caught a few minutes of the show "The Biggest Loser" the other day.  This show seems to be a cross between "Survivor" and "Celebrity Fit Club".  They go through challenges and weigh-ins and get eliminated if they don't lose a certain percentage of their body weight each week as compared to the other contestants.  What struck me is that these people have put themselves up there to be gawked at like a sideshow.  Then they get upset when they don't lose a certain amount each week, as if losing something isn't good enough.  On top of that, they are upset when they don't lose upwards of 5-10 lbs. EACH week.  This is ridiculous.  Even if these people had perfect nutrition and exercise throughout the week, they shouldn't lose that much.  That's not healthy or sustainable, besides the fact that they are beating themselves up!  What took the "cake" for me was when the host declared to the contestant just eliminated, "I am sorry, but you will not be the Biggest Loser".  Are you kidding me?  Like she was supposed to say "oh, no"?!?!
