WHY VINNIE DOESN’T LIKE “THE BIGGEST LOSER”

  • The show seeks people that are so desperate, they will do anything to lose weight
  • They are put through brutal workouts and starvation diets
  • Contestants are screamed at and put in unsafe situations
  • They call each other “Losers” and are worked out to the point of vomiting or collapsing

THE SHOW IS A FAT-SHAMING DISASTER...AND PEOPLE LOVE IT

  • 7,000,000 people watch each week
  • 200,000 people audition each season
  • 2/3’s of this country is overweight or obese; so there’s always interest in losing weight
  • No one cares that this is not a sustainable lifestyle

WHAT THE CONTESTANTS ARE PUT THROUGH

  • They are taken to the Gillette Ranch in Calabasas where they are locked in their rooms and their cell phones and computers are taken for 24 hours.
  • Many contestants believe they were bugged.
  • Their first workout is 4 hours long and they were subjected to workouts that lasted from 5-8 hours without a break
  • Calories were restricted to less than 1,000 per day and all food had to be approved by a trainer

VINNIE CHALLENGES JILLIAN MICHAELS

  • In 2014, Jillian quits the show saying she was deeply concerned about the show’s poor care of the contestants.
  • Vinnie goes on a rant...”Now she’s concerned? Why wasn’t she concerned 16 seasons ago? No...she had to wait until she became more famous than the show!”
  • Vinnie challenges her to come on the show...We will keep you posted
