The Biggest Loser is one of my favorite shows. In fact, I often do a treadmill workout while watching. But last night's episode was such a load of crap. The contestants are all going to quit because they only want to compete against people who "deserve" to be there? And it's not fair that eliminated contestants can come back, even though it's been done almost every previous season AND it was explicitly in the contract they read and signed?
The reason you deserve to be there is because you did the work to avoid elimination. Oh wait, I know for sure Mark, Conda, and Kim all spent time below the yellow line, maybe the others as well. Well, you deserve to be there because you made the right alliances to keep you safe and/or the person you were up against was hated more.
But the contestant who returns will also deserve to be there for having done what it takes to win the challenge.
This whole season has been a Mean Girls Club. First it was Mike, who was eliminated because he was a loudmouth. Then they transferred their hate to Adrian, who dared to be the new guy. Once he was gone, Kim was the target even though she had previously been one of the worst Mean Girls. And now it's all the returning contestants. And the Mean Girls are all going to quit, because if they can't get their way they just won't play. I had really thought Mark and Buddy, at least, were above all that, but they were the ones to actually go through with quitting. What a bunch of babies.
