The Biggest Loser

Fat people are basically the last group in America but it's safe to demonize, and it's really hard to watch Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper gleefully abuse these people. But the worst part about this show is how blatantly unhealthy it is, not just because of the abuse, but because these "extreme workouts" and insane diets (contestants subsisting on sugar-free Jell-O and diuretics, trainers giving contestants amphetamines) permanently damaged the contestants' metabolism, and for what? They gained all the weight back as soon as the show ended because they never learned anything about proper nutrition, healthy eating and living, or how to lose weight safely and sustainably. In the end, only Bob, Jillian, and NBC benefited from this show. I hope they never bring it back.
