Just last night I watching a season finale of “The Biggest Loser”. I’m pretty sure it was an old episode, but I have to say that after seeing a few episodes of this show I feel that it is probably the most positive and actually helpful “reality” shows on TV. So many of the other ones are just junk, but this one actually can have a positive effect on the people watching the show from home.

One thing I wish they would do on this show is give the viewers more details about what they are actually doing with the participants as far as training and diet rather than focusing on the emotional side of things. Granted, I’m sure they do this for ratings, but I think that if they gave more details it would actually help more people get off their butts and have at least a starting point on what they could do to start losing weight. Now on the flip side of that, I understand that they are probably following a more customized routine or workout for those individual people and so there are many reasons not to share all of the specifics of what each individual person is doing. The least they could do is try to teach the viewers what to do on a basic level so that the show could really affect more people in the country.

Anyway, this is just my commentary on “The Biggest Loser” after watching a few episodes. I still think they’re doing a great job and I wish more of these so-called reality shows were actually in some way beneficial to the viewers beyond just entertainment value. Kudos to the creators and everyone involved with that show!
