Biggest Loser aka Biggest LIAR!!

[VeloVT]

Lame.

[Zen]

There is certainly no shame in failure.
The only way to guarantee %100 success is to never try.

This is especially heinous in light of the audience I would think they are trying to inspire.

I don't watch that show, so I didn't know about this. Despicable!!!! There's no shame at all in trying and not accomplishing a goal. I fail all the time at things, and that's OK. They shouldn't exaggerate their accomplishments- you either did it or you didn't. I'd be impressed if he ran a half, he doesn't have to lie about the full (either marathon or IM).
