" I hope this don't make to many people mad! but that show the biggest loser! realy is a Degreading show, I turned it on and only sceen the part where the four people were having to eat the table full of pastrys to win the camara's buy how many plate they ate, and worse then that those people were hungery then have to be temped by that, I guess thet signed up for it to win money but how much is your self respect worth!

Humiliated; and screamed at by that lady trainer! that poor guy looked like he was going to have a heart attack, the she was asking him if he enjoyed being fat! But when a person is as large as that man was there are limitation's on a what a person can do healthy with out stressing your heart, im sure deep down the guy would of tryed for more time but his body would not allow him too!

maybe im wrong. what do you think?

I hate those reality shows...

One exception - Fear Factor. It's like... A dirty pleasure, I guess. But the people aren't verbally abused, and I keep wondering if I'd have the guts to do some of those things.

But I'm with you, JQ - I really think these types of shows are unhealthy.

I agree with you but cant stop watching just the same.

I had to laugh the other day on the subject of Big Brother. I saw one of the girls from the last Australian Series down at our local shops working in a land sales booth in the middle of the mall. Not as some special promotion, that was her actual job. Trying to sell land in Pakenham. Sheesh, how the mighty have fallen! Our suburb is not exactly in the heart of bustling cosmopolitan Melbourne, this is the outer south east, home of the 3 bedroom brick veneer, 2.5 kids and family truckster in the driveway.

I don't watch reality TV, I find I am actually living an exciting reality each day, I get to participate and I much prefer tho host

I've never watched that show... sounds like I'm not missing a thing! Thanks for the heads up! I don't want to watch any program that promotes humiliating the obese... lord knows most of us have suffered through enough of that in our own lives!

I do have to admit... I had managed to completely stay away from Survivor and this year we happend to get hooked on the reruns on OLN... DANG...I was this [----] close to a clean get away! Other than that I have mangaged to avoid reality TV.
