Step aside, Top Model. Say sayonara, Total Makeover and The Swan. A new NBC reality show, “The Biggest Loser,” might actually have a positive message for viewers.
“The biggest winner is ‘The Biggest Loser’ in this compelling new weight-loss drama in which two celebrity fitness trainers join with top health experts to help 12 overweight contestants transform their bodies, health and ultimately, their lives,” says the show’s website.
Basically, whoever loses the most weight wins the show. Along the way, there will be “Unique physical challenges, surprising alliances and irresistible temptations.”
True, there may be a bad tendency to make fun of fat people in the show by, say, making a group of overweight dieters resist chocolate cake; however, potential inspiration outweighs the potential negativity.
This show might actually motivate people to work out and eat healthier. A big change from shows that emphasize liposuction, breast and ab implants, nose jobs and facelifts instead of long-term good health.
