Although this program has been popular on TV for several seasons, I'm just now tuning in. What a difficult task the judges have selecting who will be a contestant. Humbling to see how the group struggles to stay strong at the first trip to the gym. All the stories are powerful. Having a camera crew record each and every ugly tough moment cant be easy.

This show is not about weight loss as much as playing degrading mind games with the poor contestants who are already stressed out from unhealthy lifestyles. Reminds me of old Roman times.

I love the fact that when you buy a season, the weekly episodes are available the next day after they air. I just don't understand why the most important episode isn't on here. Where the hell is the finale???
