It is abusive. If you select another demographic of people to attend a show of this nature, it will cause a national outcry. Just imagine the reality TV show 'Biggest Gainer'. You force feed a group of skinny people to gain weight and get them to do high intensity low repetition work on a daily basis. See who gains the most weight at the end of each week. Quite sick isn't it.
Besides being abousive, getting a few 'idiots' to train the participants in such a manner really gives us personal trainers a bad name. In terms of proper coaching and training principles; zilt. the Show disregards fundamental training protocols. No exercise progressions, poor technical proficiency when lifting and injury prevention. They will not put in the statistics the number of participants who got injured and had to resign from the show.
Steady 2 pounds a week weight loss with progressive dieting and exercise is the safest option. The 'Biggest' loser is sensational but not reality.
