We're 4 weeks into the new season of The Biggest Loser. This season started off with a very interesting idea. Fifty contestants! One from each state! Alas, it wasn't going to stay that way. The trainers immediately selected 14 from the 50 to compete at the ranch.The remaining 36 were still in the game, just not on the show. They would document their weight loss from home, and the man and woman who had the most weight loss would both come back to the ranch to participate in the final few episodes.
Is that fair? The contestants at the ranch have the attention of a trainer who also acts as a nutritional counselor, not to mention the fact that they have all day to exercise. The people at home are doing it on their own and still have jobs to go to.
However, it actually may be to their advantage that they are doing this in the "real world". When they show updates on some of the 36 "at home" contestants, and then updates on eliminated "ranch" contestants, the "at home" people seem to be having more success.
Is anyone else watching? What do you think of this season so far? Me, I don't really like the red team.
