SmithReviewed in the United States on October 27, 2012 Okay if you don't mind skipping the recaps, previews, and excessive touchy-feelies. Verified purchaseI have watched The Biggest Loser from the very beginning, and it's been interesting to observe the evolution of the concept. I really enjoy watching people lose weight and witnessing what they go through to reach their goals. I don't even mind paying $1.99 per episode, but FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S DECENT AND RIGHT, will you please start editing the episodes for consumption by a PAYING audience?!I understand that in an environment of live TV clicker clenchers, you need to give a tease of what's about to happen, and a flashback of what has just happened. But the people who hand over hard earned dollars to watch this program really are not a flight risk. We don't have to be wooed into inaction by a "Coming up on The Biggest Loser" preview and a "Previously on The Biggest Loser" recap. We are watching the program on purpose, and we aren't going to surf on to other waters because we don't quite grasp the flow of events. But the excessive repitition of scenes may bore us to tears.Or hey, here's a novel idea. Let's just think of this in terms of simple economics: The faster we get through the current season, the sooner we'll buy the next season. So cut out the fluff and make money faster, 'kay?I'm tempted to time the amount of footage that is devoted to these useless elements, but honestly, I just don't have the time or interest. Suffice to say that they are excessive. Just keep it moving, please. I'm begging you. For this particular season, I actually put off watching the season finale because I knew it was going to be long and drawn out, and replete with *tease, pause, "right after these messages" moments*. Am I back in kindergarten or what?My other qualm with this series, and with this season in particular, is the ramping up of personal emotional issues, and the promotion of self-obsession. I realize that some people truly do have deep emotional wounds that manifest in self-destructive habits. But that is not true of every single overweight person. Fattening foods TASTE GOOD. Laying around and relaxing FEELS GOOD. For some people, it's just that simple. Quit doing what pleases yourself and start doing what is good for both yourself and others. When I see trainers trying to manufacture emotional wounds, or trying to exaggerate and exploit legitimate traumas, it is disturbing.This season did feature a few sympathetic characters for whom I wanted to cheer, but not as many as previous seasons. Anna's performance as a trainer and a mentor was disappointing, more air time needs to be devoted to diet and nutrition realities (not just celebrity chef and product placement moments), and a spirit of denying your own selfish desires needs to be promoted. I have just purchased Season 13, and I sincerely hope since it's the "No Excuses" season, there's less focus on personal wound-licking and more emphasis on doing hard things. The cultivation of that habit will certainly lead to a healthy lifestle and a healthy society. 4 people found this helpfulTrue-ReviewReviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013 SO INSPIRED by this program!
