I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight.
The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos:

Hard to even believe this is the same guy!
Of course, once you are past breeding age, Darwin isn't too concerned.
Aw. c'mon, I like Darwin. Natural selection requires a diversified population group, which according to posters we have. Obviously, avoiding a known poison is a possible adaptation for pre-breeders and post-breeders. So if some of us are sentient beings and already know that TFs are bad, a bunch of us will avoid them naturally. So maybe natural selection will cull the big bad TFs all by itself over time. But if we affirmatively eradicate TFs and all that other stuff that's bad for us, what happens to Darwin? He's all gone. Geek can't smoke in NC. And they're teaching that other stuff in schools.
