Would You Want to Be the Biggest Loser?

Even though Mr. and I watch The Biggest Loser every week for its entertainment value, I definitely would not want to actually be a contestant on the show. The insane amount of exercise and extreme focus on fast weight loss are unsustainable, and I fear BL sets you up for rapid regain once you go back home. No amount of money is worth that.

But for those of you who do want to give it a shot, now is your chance!* You (and a partner--it's Couples again) can go in person to casting calls in Las Vegas, Mesa, Arizona, and Los Angeles, California, on Saturday, March 8. Or send in your videotape to the show (I can't believe they don't have online submission--can you say "old school"?) Applications are due by March 12.

Do you watch the show? What do you think of it? Would you ever want to be a contestant?
