The Biggest Loser UK Should Change Its Name

Here in the UK The Biggest Loser is currently running and it has had me glued to my TV for over 5 weeks now. But what happened at last weeks weigh in was absolutely disgusting in my eyes. I have never watched The Biggest Loser UK before, so I can’t comment on past seasons. But the way the format is now naming the show The Biggest Loser is false advertising in my opinion.

At last weeks weigh in the person who had lost the most weight Mark was voted out. Why because he had lost the most weight during the competition, I understand at the end of the day that’s it’s competition. But how can you send someone home who is working there butt off week after week and losing weight. In my eyes this is absolutely disgusting because it is giving out all the wrong signals to the viewers. In a show like this the people who lose the most weight should be rewarded not sent home.

The team format SUCKS BIG TIME, because every week the strongest competitors are going to be sent home. So basically your left with the people who are not losing as much weight and are not working has hard to lose it. How can you be crowned the Biggest Loser when really you only got to win it because you were a weaker contestant and wasn’t chosen to be voted out because you keep getting low numbers at the weigh in’s. The person who go’s home each week should be the person with the least percentage weight loss it’s as simple as that. Or perhaps one of the bottom two and then you take their combined weight loss and send the person with the least amount of total weight loss home. Last week’s team challenge wasn’t fair either. The black team had the chance to use every person in the challenge. Whilst the blue could only use two due to weight restrictions on climbing the wall. If you are going to set challenges you need to at least make them a fair challenge for both teams.

Mark was sent home on Monday, I understand he wasn’t as well liked as some of the others, because they thought he was arrogant and a little big headed. But he was losing lots and lots of weight week after week and was an inspiration for the viewers who are trying to lose weight. Sending someone home for losing weight is JUST NOT RIGHTin my opinion and sends out the wrong message to people watching the TV show. Yesterday Tuesday was the first day that I missed the show. Why because I am still angry and I don’t see the point of wasting my time on something that is not right. Whoever is crowned The Biggest Loser UK 2009 are they worthy winners, with the current team format in place we will ever know. But with Mark now gone it’s highly unlikely.
