The hostess of the show is, appropriately, the bulge battling Caroline Rhea. Or as I like to refer to her, "the only D list celeb other than Craig T. Nelson or Geraldo to come out of my alma mater U of A." Initially, I thought that Caroline Rhea was a wonderful idea to host since she herself has public ally struggled with squeezing into her thin pants. I thought it was sensitive of the directors to have it hosted by a fun, full figured woman and not dangle some ridiculously fit high energy douche-bag in front of the chubby cheeked faces of the obese contestants. Moments later we meet Jillian, the high energy, ridiculously fit douche-bag of the show. She leads 1/2 of the competitors through a rigorous diet and exercise regimen which looks so not fun. Her method, "The Eat Less Diet" HOLY INNOVATIVE BATMAN!! What think tank came up with that one? Basically, she makes her team eat fewer calories than they burn through out the day. I'm cool with that as long as my Ab Shocker can burn at least a couple beers some pizza and wings worth of calories, plus 2 more. Her other method, wear no clothes to make the fatty's feel even worse about themselves, and then when they can't feel any worse yell at them and remind them they will "cry and puke today."

I have a certain distain for most self proclaimed exercise gurus or "__fill in the blank__" to the stars, or attractive people in general. Sadly for Jillian, she�s all three. (and by attractive I mean in the "looked like she was once a man" kinda way) I'm really not qualified to psycho-analyze...but I will anyways. People who are this nasty to others and then guise it as "I'm just giving tough love" I am convinced were molested as children by someone close to them, and uncle, a priest...pick a clich� any clich�. This broad, is just so nasty to people the only thing that can redeem her in my mind as anything less than Satan, is if she had some "uncle-daddy time" growing up.

By contrast, the blue team is lead by trainer Bob. Trainer Bob is more of a Zen-like guy. His dieting method, the "eat more" diet. I like the sound of that one. Smaller portions of 4 to 6 servings a day combined with a rigorous yet loving work out session. It is through this he hopes to get Maurice down to his Rubin Studdard weight.
