Experts Say 'Biggest Loser' Poses Weighty Problems
By not in system - AOL News(Feb. 21) -- NBC's "The Biggest Loser" is all about records. In the past seasons, the weight-loss reality show has repeatedly set new benchmarks for heaviest contestant (454, 476 and 526 pounds), fastest 100-pound weight loss (seven weeks), and most weight lost in one week (34 pounds).

Top 10 Best and Worst Reality TV Shows
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe flurry of posts by my female colleagues on movies and TV shows has gone Right. Over. My. Head. I have never heard of this Julie-whatever movie they are debating. What's the big whoop? And although I've seen a couple episodes of "Mad Men," I think the show is boring and unwatchable. I'm way out of my league trying to debate these TV shows that -- let's be frank -- don't have a chance in heck of being on the cover of Us Weekly. So really, why watch?
