LOVE it!

I think it is so exciting when people make a point in a creative, poignant and home-hitting way. Two words. Biggest Loser. I've been watching the show since the first season. When I initially heard the idea, I was intrigued. I really thought it could be a catalyst for people at home to make a change. But I also thought it could have gone in a bad direction- voyeuristic, mean- but it didn't. A bunch of obese men and women struggling, running, crying, emoting could have been reality TV gone wrong and the butt of many jokes. I remember getting drawn into the first season, and being moved seeing the progress. I have to give it to the show that they didn't disrespect the contestants. The new season started tonight, and I'm happy to say that they have kept building on a good thing. The fact that the oldest guy (62) on the show (ever) won the first challenge is a lesson on top of a lesson- without being preachy. It's a testimony to the fact that it's never to late for change, and that's refreshing.
