Fool me once, shame on NBC. Fool me twice....

Last season was the first time I watched Biggest Loser. I quickly learned that it is the biggest, unhealthiest time waster on TV, next to America's Next Top Idol. Shameless product placement. Dubious weight loss techniques. Fourteen minutes of questionably substantive material padded out to two hours. After last season, I vowed "No More!"

I will not watch the new Biggest Loser.

I will not watch the new Biggest Loser.

I will not watch the new Biggest Loser.

I will not....

Oh shit. It's on.

  1. LMFAO

    You're right. I watch it the way I watch everything these days. DVR it and zip thru the commercials and dumb-ass product segments (and sometimes even the challenges, frankly).

    I still think they could vastly improve the show (and the message), by killing the vote-em-off aspects and center on helping these poor fat f*cks lose some weight.

  3. I DVR it - and yeah, I have a love/hate relationship with it as well...the workouts do inspire me, but the emphasis on the weigh-ins kill me.

  4. ha! I was just thinking this morning that its stupid a weight loss show encourages people to sit for 2 hours a week! And yet, I get drawn in every dang time!

  5. I'm feeling all victorious today because I didn't cave in and watch it.

    I really didn't know it was on. :)
