Anyone else disappointed with Biggest Loser this season!?
Biggest Loser is one of my very favorite shows. I DVR it and faithfully watch every chance I get! But this one has been soooooooooooooooooooo much about weigh ins and game play, I barely maintain interest!!
I actually gave it up this season. I realized I spent the whole show fast forwarding over the crying bits, the product placement, the scheming, I basically liked the weigh in and the final "transformation" moment. I'm going to watch the finale, though. Love the finales!
It doesn't seem much different from all the other seasons to be honest. In fact, last night's episode made me cry when the black team gave up their prize of getting letters from home to the blue team.
I still love it and will always watch it as it is a source of motivation for me.
I gave up on TBL a little while ago. I just find the show so long -- I mean, I can see having a two-hour season opener and finale, but every week? When I was a fan and taping episodes I missed, I would find myself fast-forwarding through a lot of bits too.
I watch it, but I do DVR it and FF through some of it, but I always did that in the past. I wish they would have sent the people who didn't make it (after doing it at home for 5 weeks) to the other center that they have. I really cried, especially for that Cancer survivor. I hate it when they break my heart. That's not entertainment. Still, it does motivate me to workout harder.
Its only the second season I've watched so I don't have much to compare it to. It reminds me where I came from so it still inspires me. And I just love the before and afters.
I just watch it for the weighins and the transformations. For the most part I fast forward through most of it. But I've been doing that for a few years now.
You know.... come to think of it.... this season....I find myself flipping back and forth channels, usally I'm really into it and will only get up during commercials.
GonnaTurnHeads- I'm with you... The season is losing me too.
For the past few seasons I find myself being more annoyed by some of the participants. I can watch the entire episode in under a half-hour. Keeps me out of the kitchen for that half-hour though!
I think it is so weird that people are so disappointed in a 10lb loss in a week! I mean OMG I would be flipping thrilled to lose that in one week...They act all pissy and depressed. I don't get that. I usually flip back and forth like several of you because I am not really that into all the game play.
I don't know, maybe it's me and not necessarily the show but I watched part of one episode and have no desire to watch another. The last one I got sooooo tired of all the whining, crying and fighting. Can't take anymore!
I'm tired of the drama and game play...and the crying has gotten over the top..when you vote someone out..they're you know I love you...come on..its a game and its about learning some life lessons..fight..lose weight and enjoy the experience of a life time...having all that at your finger tips///I like learning..
I don't watch The Biggest Loser anymore honestly. I used to love the show and watched it faithfully. However seeing people getting upset about losses that (to me) are large, got on my nerves. I would be pleased to lose 10 or 12 pounds in a week. But i see people getting upset about that on the show and that bothers me. Also, is that much of a weight loss in one week truly healthy? Probably not. I know the contestants are under the care of medical professionals on the show and all, but seeing huge losses like that on a weekly basis isn't really that healthy. Also, doesn't that send the wrong picture to other people at home trying to lose weight? We "regular folks" might get discouraged to only see a pound or two lost while the people on the show are dropping 10-20 pounds in a week. I just can't watch it anymore.
