Do you cry when watching the Biggest Loser?

  • I've been watching the Biggest Loser online and last night I watched week 7. I started crying when the son was helping his dad down the mountain. Other points in the show really made me cry too. It happened last week as well when I watched it.

    Maybe I'm just a big softy but its so amazing to see the struggles of people who weighed what I did and are trying to kick some major butt. I do feel a bit envious and wish I was there kicking butt too.
  • Oh all the time!

    My dh gets so tired of watching TBL because of all the weepiness. But he doesn't understand what they are going through. So, usually, I try to keep my tears to myself!
  • i literally cry every show during the weigh-ins and the transformation moments...its so freakin touching i cant help myself
  • Im glad Im not the only one..lol My BF will yell from the other room are you crying again! Lol...
    I love the show, I never miss an episode. It just amazes me what these people do and how they can push themselves like that. Its really insperational.
  • all the time.. i'm a very emotional person and that show is very endearing and it really gets me sometimes. i also cried when the son was helping his dad down the mountain
  • I don't cry while watching...especially when everyone else starts with the crying...guess I am just getting annoyed with all the crying and whining on the show.
  • I didn't cry this time, but the youngest contestant's relationship with his father has made me cry in the past. I never cried last season. I thought some of the contestants were just nasty people. I did cry, however, on the Top Chef finale after Carla gave her speech on why she should win Top Chef.
  • I cry during it all the time.
    Last nights moment was when Dane said When he was overweight he felt like he was letting his family down. OMG I feel like that every single day, I feel like my and my familys life is on hold due to something I should be able to control.
  • No, I don't cry. I feel for what they are going through, as I can relate to alot of it though. I am glad that they aren't 'game playing' as much as last year, because last year's contestants were just getting ridiculous.
  • I usually cry or at least get teary eyed at least once during the show every week. I was teary eyed yesterday during the weigh in after seeing Kristin's reaction to her WI.
  • Depends on what else is going on in my life.

    During the previous season's show, my father was dying of cancer. I sometimes watched episodes on hospital TVs. I would bawl like a baby over the ongoing travails of Coleen & her father Jerry. I know this is because I was really feeling the father/daughter bond. The show was the trigger, but I wouldn't get weepy if I weren't already vulnerable.

    Of course, if it's during PMS, particularly the day just before, I will weep over anything. Even Hallmark commercials.
  • WOW! I didn't know people cried watching TBL! I have never felt like crying watching the few episodes i have watched.

    In fact I feel inspired when I see all the weight the people have lost!
  • To be honest, I don't watch it very often, and I don't cry at anything unless it's a personal issue with me
  • I was totally curious if other people cried too.
    I cry every once in a while and it's mainly because of the relationships like mike and his father.
    I try to hide it from my boyfriend cause I feel silly but I can't help it.
