*"What's with all the junk food this season?"*
LAST EDITED ON 11-13-07 AT 04:36 PM (EST) LAST EDITED ON 11-13-07 AT 04:35 PM (EST) Including tonight's show, there have been three "temptations" involving junk foods. I saw the first two. And, according to TV Guide, there will be a third one tonight. In past seasons, there have been "challenges" involving junk food. Usually transferring it from one place to another. The team who finished first, won the challenge. Season One contestants even strove to build the highest tower, carrying the food in their mouths. I thought that was a stupid activity for people trying to learn healthy eating habits. But, this season takes the cake, no pun intended. To my recollection, in no other season, have contestants actually had to eat the food. Why? On a "weight-loss" show, of all places.

I so agree. Props to Kay tonite for not giving in.
Was $5000 that big to some of the players?
Also, I hate seeing food trashed and wasted like this.
early in the season they had tables full of food and then just pushed it all on the floor. Sure, maybe it was a lot of food that was not good for you, but it was still very wasteful. I just don't like that - in any show.

I must say that I agree. But maybe they wanted to show that people could still eat 300 calorie donuts and still lose weight lol.
Okay, honest Kae gets big ups for not giving in, because all in all $5,000 isn't worth my health, especially if I am on the Biggest Loser trying to lose weight and get healthy intentionally. Also, I wanted to mention that the players did volunteer to eat the food knowing what the possible outcomes maybe.
Oh well, it is wasteful in food and time. Find another challenge darn it lol.

I think you may be confusing some of the challenges with the temptations. There have been challenges where they transferred food but usually the temptations are specfically just that....a temptation. That's why they use the junk food. Cause it's stuff they shouldn't be eating. So do they eat the junk to get the prize or do they hold fast? I kinda get why they do it. When they get back to their real lives they'll be faced with temptations all the time. Go to a buffet style restaurant and there is all that food sitting there and you can choose any of it (including all sorts of decadent desserts). But will you stay strong and eat what you know you should? So I can see the temptations having a purpose. With the temptations they can choose not to participate. But with the challenges they all compete (unless a team is uneven, of course)and it doesn't involve eating food.
They've used junk food in past seasons too. I remember Suzy gorging herself on milkshakes (or was it ice cream). In that one they were all divided from each other so they didn't know if anyone else was participating or not)
So yeah, the temptations might be kinda stupid but they do have a point and they also let us know how serious they all are about losing weight. (yay to Kae!)

Many people, such as Dr Phil suggest creating a "fail safe" environment, clearing all junk food out of the house and avoiding any restaurant, especially all-you-can-eat, that doesn't offer anything healthy. But, all-you-can-eat is a fact of life. That's why I thought the trip to Jamaica was a good idea. The contestants learned to scan the buffet for healthy options before they started filling their plates. My husband loves Golden Corral. All that variety for one low price. We ate there today. I ate rotisserie chicken breast without the skin, a plain sweet potato, carrots, corn, broccoli, and green beans.
