The Biggest Loser
This is actually a reality show with a great premise. Each season, 16-22 contestants go on as individuals, or with a family member or friend in order to lose massive amounts of weight in a short amount of time. The two latest winners lost 55% of their body weight! The epic televised changes are displayed with the hope that it will motivate others in America, and help solve the obseity problem in America. Did you know that we spend more money on obesity issues than cancer issues each year?
Now once a person is on the ranch, they are trained two of the best physical trainers in America: Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. Now Bob is a bit more athletic, and seems a bit more experienced, most likely due to age, but I would still pick Jillian as my trainer. She has a different tactic of training than Bob. She breaks down the contestant psychologically, in an attempt to find the root of their excessive weight gains, or why they have never done anything about it. Once she figures this out from the introverted contestants, she is able to attack the issue at it's roots, and the contestant can grow as a person, while shrinking in the physical sense. The psychological and physical synergistic effects of The Biggest Loser make it one of the best reality shows on television.
