We watched the Biggest Loser religiously for the first 2 seasons. At that time it was about losing the weight and not game playing. It was truly inspiring to see those people, who were desperately overweight, losing it.
Now so much of the show is about the game and winning the money. The ones with immunity will drink water before the weigh in so it looks like they haven't lost as much to give them insurance for the next week. (For those who don't watch, the percentage that you lose each week determines who gets thrown off. The week that you have immunity - you get it by winning a challenge - you don't have to worry about how much you've lost because you're not going home. If you drink water, you weigh more. So the next week you're starting off higher than you would have without the water and it looks like you've lost more at the weigh in.) I can't even watch the show anymore. I do check the "before and after" pictures online. But I can't watch the drama and the cheating.
