Anyone watch that new show "The Biggest Loser" on NBC tonight?

It proved to be very interesting as I expected. It was on for an hour n' a half and I liked it, although there are a few flaws...

the female fitness trainer is simply training them to win the event, it is not realistic that these people train 5 hours a day to the point of extreme exhaustion in order to lose fat.

the male trainer in my opinion (the blue team) did the best because he approached it logically with long-term goals in mind.

and -- the negative tone they give to those who "only" lost 5 lbs in 1 week is bad - because actually, if you want to keep healthy, you should try not to lose anymore than 2-4 lbs per week - otherwise you are losing muscle tissue.

so people who watch this are getting a few wrong ideas - although it is MUCH better than those bullshit surgery shows out there.

for those of you who want to lose fat, it's definitely a show to watch - because it is all about diet and training.
