The Biggest Loser (American TV Show Review)

so I say American, because I'm currently watching last season's American biggest loser. This season is called Second Chances 2 (season 15). I've been watching this program for quite some time now, maybe since the beginning. What I find the most interesting is the peoples life back stories, and also peoples weight loss each week.

Compared to the Australian version I have also watched, they compress one week into just around 40 minutes/ one episode. In the Australian versions I have watched, there are 5 episodes for 1 week. In ways it is good because episodes arn't dragged on, but at the same time, episodes can be too compressed so you don't get to see much on the show, so sometimes there's not as much suspense, but it's still good :)

Some of the stories of contestants on the show are pretty inspiring too. Won't talk about anyone here, but sometimes it makes you realise how lucky your life is compared to some of the people on the show.

Something I realised that feels different for this season is that there's not much fighting or anything. There's no-one that you "hate" and want eliminated. I think this is because they introduced "just the red line". So no yellow line vote to exit the game. I feel like this has caused less drama on the show, though it could be that they're not showing it.

But all in all, most things are same on the show. All in all this is a reality show. I won't rate this one though, but I do feel like this show has changed lives of many people for good and impacts deeply for viewers as well which makes it a very inspiring show. Check it out if you haven't. I just started watching this series today, and I've almost finished episode 7, need to study >< Goodnight!
