Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

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: www.nbc.com/.../erik_before1.jpg www.nbc.com/.../erik_finale10.jpg Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

    Not to make this take even more of a political turn, but ... sentencing someone to death actually costs the system more than a life sentence ... the costs of the appeal and all out weighs the cost of keeping them in prison for life, yet all sorts of people still believe in the death penalty ... (I do not, but not for costs, and we certainly don't need to go down this road as I think it will NOT be pretty) So back to good ole transfats ... yum! haha Apparently breaststrokers are immune to the effects of TransFats too...man it is good being great!
