The Biggest Loser Contestants: On Strike!
by Hilton Hater at .Contestants on this season of The Biggest Loser have a weighty issue with NBC.
Those remaining on the reality competition have actually walked off the set and are threatening to collectively quit because they learned producers were planning to bring back former contestants to compete for this season's $250,000 grand prize.
This is not an atypical move in the world of reality TV, of course, but this season's hopefuls all find it unfair that past losers are now being given a chance to become winners again.
NBC has not commented on the situation, and production has been suspended for a few days, but season 12 contestant John Forger tells TMZ this season's competitors are missing the point of their participation.
"It's not about [money]. What it's really about, for most of us, is the change in our lifestyle, and being able to get rid of obesity," he says. "For most of us, it's about health. Would I walk off the show for the money? ABSOLUTELY NOT."

I love the biggest loser..Until this season, Conda is the absolute worst!!! she is mean and has only made it because of her brother..Kim is an awful person sooo fake and neither deserve to win If I had to pick I would hope Jermey wins.
boffo show tonight. i picked mark as a loser from the first show. he realized he had no chance of winning and quit.buddy is simply a sheep. i'd sue them for breach of contract. how disgusting.mark and buddy have neither spines nor character.
I was disgusted by the continuing poor behavior of these contestants. Like many of you, I also would ask all of them to leave and strike them from any future involvement in the program. Too bad the show can't force them to give back all the rewards they have received to date. What egos! I bet the whole issue was once again started by Conda. She has no integrity. This is truly the worst collection of finalists this show has ever seen and I don't want any of them to win. Is Kim going to give back the SUV? I am furious at these people and how they have belittled and undermined all of the hard work of the show staff and trainers. Jillian would have ripped them a new one and sorted them out pdq!
I have watched the show for years like alot of us. I have always enjoyed watching. But, I think that the people on this years show are rude, complaining little twits. Its is sad that the only reason that they are there is not to loose weight but to gain money. Let them not forget that the MONEY IS EARNED!!!! NOT JUST GIVEN TOO THEM!!! Let them walk out and eliminate them all. Im fat and want money for college so I can raise my kids. Can i come on the biggest looser? I will show them the weight loss plus how you earn it. Bob is the greatest and Jillian should have never left. :)
Let them all quit. Bring back all the ones who want to be there for the right reasons. I say goodby to all those cry babies.
