Folks are worried about the fact that contestants are getting larger with each successive season of The Biggest Loser.
One of the trainers, Jillian Michaels, says that as trainers, they have no say over the physical challenges presented to the contestants and they worry about them.
This year is going to be even more worrisome as they have 3 of the heaviest people the show has ever seen, including a man that weighs just over 500 pounds.
The Biggest Loser’s 9th season kicks it in gear tonight, Tuesday, 1/5/10 with a new couples season. I enjoy the show because of what they do teach people who watch the show. They send a message that can help many improve their health.
There’s a great, at-length interview / article on Jillian Michaels at Ladies Home Journal.
