I watched the first episode of the Biggest Loser Families today. I found the show excessively sadistic. Why is it entertaining to see people in agony with trainers cracking the whip like they were slaves or something? To see people crying their eyes out? To see unfit people told to climb a mile up a mountain in 110 degree temperature when they are given, NO WATER (you dehydrate after about 20 minutes without water and usually need more to exercise in that kind of heat). I think this show is DISGUSTING and demeaning of human beings. I do not care to watch ANY PEOPLE IN THAT KIND OF PAIN. How is this different from the Roman Games at the collesium... It's the same sort of thing. Shame on the American public for not protesting this show! This IS NOT the way to lose weight and it cannot last - they are doing something very unhealthy in their methods (working out unfit people in their 40's and 50's for 7-8 hours a day?) and playing fast and loose with the lives of the contestants. One of these days, they just might kill someone. Why does someone have to be hurt or die before we see how barbarian this show is? My husband pointed out that convicted prisoners are treated better than they treat the fat people on "The Biggest Loser"
