See I think that's cool, but i don't think that ear pinning an rhinoplasty is the way to go on the road to self improvement. I had this conversation with some other people who watch those other shows and they contend that the people have solved there emotional and dietary issues. I just highly doubt it- when they're getting their facial proportions changed. Don't get me wrong i understand burn victims and trauma sufferers of that kind wanting reconstructive surgery- but i just think surgery for vanity leave you worse off in the end.

Anyway, very inspiring, especially since one of the guys was only commuting about 12 miles a day, 3 days a week when he started. Here's his blog: http://adamletour.blogspot.com

Anyway, I categorize this as a "Fitness and Health Show" because these guys had to increase their level of fitness and health in order to be able to do this ride. While only one completed the entire stage, both increased their fitness levels immensely over the 6-7 weeks time. Very cool.
