Biggest Loser Trainers Go Too Far - http://www.thatsfit.com/2009...
"Fans of "The Biggest Loser" excitedly tuned in to Season 8, but after a flurry of F-bombs flew from the mouths of trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper on the premiere episode, it seems some viewers will be tuning out. The rude and crude Season 8 premiere has fans abuzz with disgust as editors busily added "bleeps" to cover the copious cursing from Jillian, Bob and contestants -- as if we don't know what they're saying anyway! J & B seriously lowered the trainer ethics bar at the premiere. Perhaps it's time to float a bar of soap in their water bottles. The generally uplifting nature of past seasons deserved better than what we got this time around. No doubt, seven seasons of Biggest Loser inspiration has prompted many viewers to dig deep, change their habits and lose weight. The show shines a bright light on the bleak reality of our nation's skyrocketing obesity rates by modeling positive, life-lengthening journeys of 300-plus pound contestants shedding the pounds non-surgically. Yet after priming fans with Season 8 promos filled with hugging, crying and inspired contestants, viewers were greeted with an overload of swearing and humiliation. This has left some questioning whether "The Biggest Loser" is really a family-friendly show anymore." - Holly is Happy from Bookmarklet
