"The Swan" was not spontaneous
-
When they were ready to cut the 9 contestants down to 6 semi-finalists they had the women stand on a podium with 5 in the first row and 4 in the second row 1 step above the first row. Then as they called out the names of the semi-finalists, the woman would walk to center stage. Well, all 4 of the women on the top step/second row got picked as well as the women on the ends of the first row - leaving the 3 losers closest to center stage and the cameras so everyone could see them! What are the odds of that? 4/9 * 3/8 * 2/7 * 1/6 * 2/5 * 1/4 = ~ 1/1400 They already knew who the winners were and positioned the losers so they could be best humiliated. Great trick!!!!!!!

I tried watching this show a few weeks out of curiosity. I found it repulsive. Let's get a group of women who already have low self-esteem, sit them in front of a panel who will tear apart their physical and psychological "flaws", and force them through a rigorous personal re-training session so that they are stripped of themselves and can become pleasant little puppets. I can only hope young girls watching this crap understand it's all bullshit. Of course from a business POV, it is bringing in the ratings so thumbs up. :) BW The Biggest Loser

I guess I am dumb then (assuming your equivalency statmenet between people who watch it and their intelligence is true)! I love trash TV, schlocky horror movies, etc, etc. Always have. Apparently I am not alone - the ratings for the show are quite good. I have also never adopted a faux intellectualism. I am what I am - a former trailer living white boy, ex army dude who loves bikini bars and playing pool. I've never had a stick up my ass.

-Hollywood FreaksI never watched the show, but it seems to me that the actual trick is to take women with low self-esteem, have a panel point out all their "flaws", subject them to a few months of painful surgery and THEN tell them that they still aren't pretty enough to win the contest. :sigh:

Well, I listen to Metallica, Dokken and Motley Crue, so I'm hardly claiming to be the last defendant of high brow culture. I just prefer to listen to them while reading a book.
