The other side if the spectrum that people don't see is the media that helps people become skinnier to improve their help. In the show, The Biggest Loser, extremely overweight people compete in two teams to see who can loose the most weight in 100 days. The ultimate goal is to loose as much weight possible in order to become HEALTHY! This show can be beneficial to many over weight people who don't have the self control to loose the weight on their own. On the show they gain determination because they finally realize that loosing weight is a possibility. Not only do they gain better health if they win but also 250,000 which can be used for anything from new clothes to buying healthy food. In each episode it follows the 14 contestants as they learn to eat better, exercise, and maintain healthy habits in their goal to shed some pounds. Each contestant has their own personal want for winning the prize such as some want to stop the cycle of being overweight for their kids, others use to be thin and want to obtain their old body type again. All of the contestants end up on one of the two teams where they work with trainers. During the competition they competitors work out, eat right and take part in athletic challenges. The goal is to loose the most weight and the loosing team of the week has to vote out one member.
Some people feel that the show is degrading to the contestants because they tell them that they need to loose weight and show the obstacles and hardships they face. I personally think the show is beneficial to the audience and the contestants because it makes the contestants healthier and feel better about themselves without any plastic surgery. The trainers help the contestants loose weight in a healthy way through diet and exercise. The show benefits the audience because obese people that watch it can have faith in loosing weight because the show proves that it is possible for the least likely candidates.
