A Vapid attempt to
create another reality TV show that feeds off societies view of the overweight
being losers. Based on the USA original which featured the same trainers. This
is a game show at the end of the day and contestants vote off their team mates
that don't 'pull their weight' in the team by working the hardest and losing the
most weight. The end prize is worth $200,000 but ultimately the winners are
those who have improved their life. Whether that is sustained when the
contestants leave the boot camp remains to be seem. No doubt this latest Crash
TV version to hit our screens will prove immensely popular if not just for the
emotional trauma these victims are sure to succumb to. Episode one ran for 60
minutes followed by a daily half hour update on the 'losers' progress.
