Behind the Screen: The Biggest Loser

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

What controversy?

What controversy?

The Season 15 winner went through extreme lengths to win and basically looked anorexic at the finale. Then past contestants started coming out revealing they had gained the weight back and the extreme lengths the trainers would go through to help them lose the weight fast. Like very few contestants have kept the weight while majority have gained it back including past winners.

Never got the appeal of this type of show. Eat less than you burn you lose, eat more than you burn you gain. 

Simple as that.

The only entertaining weight loss reality based show was Fat Camp on MTV many many years ago, i guess the secret eaters is entertaining too, to see people shocked that eating chili cheese dogs like tic tacs makes you fat.

Fat Camp!!! That one girl who got stung by the bee is a reality tv icon. One of my all time favs.
