I Think We're All THE BIGGEST LOSER for Watching This Mess

I am so disillusioned with The Biggest Loser right now.

And I will probably top this blog with a "Dear NBC," copy and paste everything, and hope it makes it's way to the powers that be in the network.

That show is supposed to be inspiring. We're supposed to see it and think, "heck yeah! I can do that too!" People like Ali, last season's winner, ARE inspiring. People like Vicky, Brady, and Heba? Not so much.

This show should not even be a game. Seriously. Anyone who is very overweight and serious about getting healthy would participate in this show - and should participate in this show - for the sole reason of LOSING WEIGHT AND GETTING HEALTHY. The money shouldn't have anything to do with it.

I think that's what disgusts me so much about Vicky. She complains about the challanges . . . doesn't care anything at all about them. All she seems to care about is the dollar signs. And, ya know what? I get it. I have two small children, too. I understand just how much a half a million dollars could change lives. But more important when it comes to changing the lives of our children is making POSITIVE choices when it comes to weight loss and being healthy. Providing a home for our children where they can be healthy and don't have to worry about growing up to be overweight? You cannot put a price tag on that.

Listen up, NBC, this is what you need to do: You can keep the money prize, but toss out the whole "Survivor" aspect of the game. Whoever loses the least percentage is axed. End of story. That was the only "strategy" in this game involves people working their ass off. Orrrr, if you just must absolutely have a vote-off then why not let Bob and Jillian be the ones to pick who leaves the show? Weed out the ones who are only their for the money and keep the peeps who are serious about being healthy.

Part of me wonders if NBC has set up Vicky to be the villian. Is she really that evil? Or are there things Phil has said and done that didn't make it to tape? Are we only seeing one side of the story? Regardless, for the life of me, I cannot understand WHY they think they have to have all the dramatics in order to keep views of this show. Newsflash: it's NOT keeping viewers. It's turning them off.

The Biggest Loser is one of the only truly inspiring reality shows on TV. Yeah, Dancing with the Stars might inspire to some point pick up some dancing shoes and see if I can overcome my clumsyness. And The Amazing Race might inspire me to get my ass in shape to where I could compete in that. And maybe all the ". . . of Love" shows on VH1 inspire some folks to get tested for VD. But The Biggest Loser, in so many ways, is just all around inspiring.

Until now.

And, I promise you, if Vicky or Heba wins this show then it has completely lost it's premise and it will most definitely lose at least one viewer. ME.
