Does Anyone watch The Biggest Loser?

I only do here and there. But I was watching the last 30 minutes of it lastnight, which included the weigh-ins. Low and Behind a yelling match breaks out between the trainers Jillian and Bob, and one of the contestants on the red team. The trainers accused her of throwing the weigh in. Basically it's week 3 and she only lost 1 lb this week. This apparently was the second week that she only lost 1 lb. To give you an idea the next lowest amount of weight lost was 7lbs, and the highest amount was 14lbs. The trainers contend that she had to eat an extra 7,000 colaries that week, or not been doing all the workouts, to have only lost the 1 lb.

Why would you throw a weigh in you are wondering....me too. Then it hit me this season is couples, so if your couple has the lowest percentage of weight lost, the group votes one, not both of you off. This woman was the smallest of the contestants easily, and she was there with her husband. The trainers logic being, that is she works but not super hard, then come vote off time she will plee to be the one voted off, and it would be an obvious choice since all the other contestants get pissed when they feel someone isn't respecting the process.

Here is my question martyr, supporting spouse, or dumbass. I mean this woman is FAT. You have to be to make it onto that show. Her husband however was clinically obese, but sweety you are more than chubby with your own set of health risks. I understand her wanting him to stay longer because his health risks were much more dier than hers. But lady, you are obese, you have health risks too. Is she just in denial about her weight and health issues. How could she not be taking this opportunity seriously?
