Why does it have to be so dramatic all the time? It's a show about people losing weight FFS! By the way the host talks you'd think their preparing for a fight or something, or that that their life or career is on the line. I just can't buy into this overdramatization. Eliminations and weigh ins take an eternity with all the BS they c rap on about...This video justifies what i'm on about and if you can't be bothered watching the whole thing than i don't blame you at all.
Why do they need such a long explanation for their vote? If it was me on the show, i'd make it as short as possible, if not for me but to spare the people at home watching it so they don't have to listen to my BS rambling. I can't stand AJ (the host), just look at her face and the way she explains things, it just makes me mad at how serious she is. I dunno, maybe it's just me but the whole thing is just stupid. I also love it how they go to an add break just before a vote is revealed "oooooooo, i wonder who she voted for?" - I'm sure everyone's thinking about that on their piss break then quickly run back to the TV without washing their hands and cringe just before the vote revealed. Good riddance.
I don't know about you, but i'm much more interested in the workouts and the nutritional choices they make when on the show. I hate it how there's this whole strategy bulls hit into voting people off...Personally, i'd just vote off the person i liked the least not the person i see as "the biggest threat" to me. You should have the attitude that you're the biggest thread to everyone else and if you don't, then WTF are you doing there in the first place. You're there to lose weight and improve you're overall well being!
Another one of my personal favourites is "the walk"
**Edit** The walk - ....It's missing the bit i talk about with the staredown but plenty of overhype from AJ is included...Enjoy, if you can be bothered.
Since the Aus version is basically a copy of the US version, i'll assume that most of you know what the walk is. Ok, so what is up with every contestant standing in a line and watching the person facing the walk. They all stand there and stare him/her down "oooo i hate you for going on the walk". Then whilst is on the person going on the walk and the rest of the contestants are staring at him/her it usually cut away to some stupid commentary bit "when i walked out of the house i didn't know what to expect bla bla bla" more drama hype for this stupid walk thing.
Then as if it hasn't been hyped up enough, at the end of the walk, AJ is standing there, almost frowning with a serious look on here face. She then confronts the walker and explains to him what he/she did by taking the temptation the previous day (like it hadn't already been explained 29384784 times already). Then she takes up several minutes explaining what is on one of the potential stones that the walker could pick out and the consequences if each one is chosen....Yeah we get it, pick a f uckn stone already. Usually, this is followed up by an addbreak JUST before the person picks their stone and we have to wait until the add break is over. For me personally, i find this annoying not in a "man i wonder what's on that stone" kinda way but in a "Enough of this ****, i'm changing the channel" type way.
And it's the same thing for the weigh ins and the eliminations. Weigh ins would be twice as interesting if they were half as long, which is proof that "less is more". We have to sit there first whilst AJ explains what happens at the weigh ins (ummm, they weigh themselves right?), then contestant #1 begins the dramatic walk up to the scales at which point it cuts away to a vid of their previous weigh in followed by AJ (in a serious tone) "last week you weighed in at XXX"...Then after we see their weight we have to hear their personal explanations and how they feel about their loss. I don't mind this at all, but this portion of the weigh ins just seems to drag on and they say so much that it just seems really scripted. A few short words will do. Also, don't you love it how the scale beems up and down in weight just before revealing their actual weight..."OMG, you almost had me there...i actually thought he gained 5 kilos for a second"...Annoying and once again, it's annoying in a channel changing way.
One last thing and this is another personal peeve of mine when i'm watching the show...Why do they always refer to it as "a game"...What game? I don't see any game? You're there to lose weight arn't you?....Oh i forgot, the $250, 000...That's right, it's a game because you have to vote off the person losing the most weight because they are your "biggest threat" and are putting in more work than you, therefore they work the hardest and don't deserve the money. If someone voted me off because i was losing the most weight they'd be getting a big fat F UCK YOU! after i was eliminated that's for sure...
Well, if you made it this far, then well done and if you didn't then i don't blame you, but at the same time you wouldn't be reading this bit. I could've made this a gazillion times longer but cbf. I just needed to vent a little about this c rappy show. And I'm sorry for any bad language.
