OBJECT-IFY

The contestants on the 'Biggest Loser' are looking great! There are some contestants on the show that have lost over 100 pounds. There are 7 contestants left on the show. The average weight loss for the remaining contestants is 109. However, when the show began (when the contestants were at their largest) during the weigh in portion of the show, before they got on the scale the men had to take their t-shirts off before getting on the scale and the women had to remove their shirt and in their sports bra before being weighed. Last week at the fourteenth week state the contestants are looking good. HOWEVER, during the weigh in the contestants no longer had to take their t-shirts off. Because it seems like now that the contestants are getting smaller the show can no longer objectify them. There isn't a shock value with the severity of their weight. This year I've been looking at the show more objectively, and my eyes have been opened a great deal.
