My husband and I have just started watching "The Biggest Loser" this season. We had never watched it before and the couples premise sounded interesting. I had expected it to be made up of married or dating couples and in actuality, most sets are of non-romantic partners (parent/child, siblings, best friends, etc.) I think they should have used "partners" not "couples" personally. Anyhow, the contestants seem mostly likeable - no one stands out as getting a "villain edit" - yet. A few aspects of the show are somewhat concerning though - they seem to ignore the fact that EVERYTHING shows a sensible weight loss should be about 1 - 3 pounds a week. They act shocked and disappointed when contestants lose in that zone and act like weight losses of double digit numbers are normal and expected. Also this week a contestant ate 200 calories worth of M & M's in a challenge - she gained 1 pound at the weigh-in and the host seemed to blame the candy for the weight loss. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 200 calories does not equal 1 pound of weight!
But those quibbles aside I think it will be a good show to keep watching - and I am enjoying rooting for the contestants to get healthy. I wish the show would spend more time focusing on healthy eating though.
