Thinking out loud I wonder how many people tune in to BL for the honest to goodness help with their weight issues and how many tune in for the "reality game show" aspect. I never really watched it for the game play side but reading comments from last season's Icky Vicki saga (I didn't watch last season, but I have seen previous and current seasons) I'm sort of glad I missed it.

I blather, what I'm saying is that by "spoiling" the episode in their promos do they take the game play issues off the table and try to turn it into a show about weight management or is that unrealistic. I have noticed that the product placement seems to have ramped up this season as compared to the season before the Vicki one. That could be the price of popularity and unfortunately it's taking some of the shine off things. Game play is probably inevitable in order to keep yourself at camp as long as possible but I would like to see more practical tips other then one has to work out 8 hrs a day or eliminate anything that might be considered unhealthy. I'm looking for a more realistic approach that I can really live with and day long workouts aren't going to be possible IRL. (I need an occasional fast food break, I'm only human)

I don't know, maybe not watching last season has made me notice the change in the show more, something is a bit off for me. I'm thinking I'll keep up with it for the remainder but I'm not sure I'll feel like buying in to the product placement & huckstering for BL products, seems like they're trying too hard or something.
