00:00All my life, I want to be the biggest loser.

00:04Work me, work me till the day I die.

00:08Being on The Biggest Loser is just like winning the lottery.

00:11Whoever loses the most weight wins $250,000.

00:16More than 10 million people watched the finale.

00:19It was huge.

00:20To see us in a gym yelling, screaming, that's good TV.

00:26This is what America thinks is healthy and safe.

00:31Being seen as a person and not just a body is much rarer for fat people.

00:38While we're big.

00:39Biggest Loser was the best thing that ever happened to us.

00:41We were not looking for people who were overweight and happy.

00:45I'm a secret eater.

00:46We were looking for people who were overweight and unhappy.

00:49Maybe it would fix my marriage. Maybe it would fix me.

00:51I'll do anything to be on your show.

00:54The Biggest Loser!

00:55They were really reinforcing the stereotypes.

00:59People like making fun of fat people.

01:01And producers loved that s***.

01:03They were like, we want them to puke.

01:06We want the madness of it all.

01:09I was given a caffeine pill.

01:12My organs were literally shutting down.

01:14You can't have a show based on weight loss. That's safe.

01:18I could barely walk.

01:21And I was in such pain.

01:22And they said, just walk it off.

01:23Just walk it off.

01:24I would never put anyone in harm's way.

01:28The shame.

01:29Being a failure after being a success.

01:31Why didn't anybody let me know that I could have just ruined my life?

01:34I think there's a bit of PTSD.

01:36Can you tell me one show that's actually changed people's lives the way The Biggest Loser has?

01:43I'd love to hear it.
