I take issue with those who criticize 'The Biggest Loser' for pushing contestants too hard. The whole point is to push them hard. Otherwise, there's no change.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nothing would make me happier than to train the next winner on 'The Biggest Loser' because it means the world to me. Everybody has a fighter inside them, they just don't realize it.
I was recently asked about the business side of 'Biggest Loser,' but as long as we entertain people, we can keep coming back and making a difference. It's a delicate balance, but one feeds off the other. I feel so good about the show - it's uplifting and inspiring and entertaining at the same time.
We now have contestants who will not let anything get in their way of victory. Some contestants have thrown each other under the bus this season.
When you think of 'Biggest Loser,' you think of it as a TV show. But people are coming to lose weight. I take that very seriously.
The object of this competition is not to be mean to the losers but to find a winner. The process makes you mean because you get frustrated.
One of the things I like best about 'Biggest Loser' is being around people who are trying to make the right choices. When you feel defeated about your weight and your health, like there's no hope, and you still make the choice to fight for it, to make the change happen no matter what people say or think, that's inspiring to me.
Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that's the difference.
We are all totally committed as elite athletes. To think that pushing people around and bullying them is the best way to get results out of them is just ludicrous.
The more criticism I get, the more it gives me a stronger urge to win. So I try harder.
I'm done with 'Biggest Loser.'
