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!

    George if this guy was older than 30 he needs help...I did all my stupid religious boozing between ages 15 and 20 then I wised up and only did it periodically...I can still get "religious" now and then but if I was ever hospitalised for drinking like that I think I'd be concerned. At the university where my husband teaches, the paper used to publish in the campus "police blotter" incidents of alcohol poisoning (for which a student had to be rushed to a hospital). The paper stopped that practice after it was discovered that the various classes (fresh, soph etc) had a competition going to see who had the most cases of alcohol poisoning. Totally depressing.:shakeshead:
