The NBC TV reality program, "The Biggest Loser," which is a so-called reality show about grossly fat people losing a lot of weight in a relatively short time, has spawned best-selling cookbooks and workout DVD's. The show leaves a sizable footprint on popular culture.

I've just watched the CBS news expose about "The Biggest Loser."  CBS News interviews Kai Hibbard, a former contestant of the NBC program. CBS seems to point out gladly, "The Biggest Loser" has been a big ratings winner since its debut in 2004, and CBS goes on to show that there is something rotten on the TV fat farm. Ms Kai Hibbard and her husband discussed in the interview the many and various ways the "reality" show is misleading. See the video.

I stopped believing everything that I saw on TV, when I was very small and learned that there weren't little people inside the TV doing all of those amazing things, that I saw on the screen, and that there weren't anything inside the TV set, but wires and tubes. I stopped believing most things I saw on TV, when I saw someone shot and it was nothing like on TV. There was blood. There was screaming. There were no commercial breaks. I most definitely don't believe what I see in the commercials, nor do I believe the politicians I see on TV, and I don't believe the reality shows. Reality and TV are contradictions in terms.
