Netflix и документальный фильм «The Biggest Loser»: Мои впечатления
🎬 Времена меняются, но ожидания от нового контента иногда слишком высоки. Я была в восторге от выхода документальной ленты «The Biggest Loser» на Netflix, но, к сожалению, мои ожидания не оправдались. Давайте разберём все аспекты этой работы!
1. Ожидания и реальность 📉
0:00 — Fit for TV: крупное разочарование
Когда я увидела трейлер, подумала, что это будет захватывающий взгляд на закулисье шоу. Но уровень подачи и качество материала, к сожалению, оставили желать лучшего.
2. Мой личный опыт 💭
3:55 — Моя предвзятость
Я всегда была фанатом реалити-шоу о похудении, но это заставило меня столкнуться с собственными предвзятостями. Ожидания были основаны на прошлых успешных проектах, и, возможно, это сыграло свою роль.
3. История О’Нила 👤
5:41 — История О’Нила
Выдающийся участник, который на протяжении всего шоу продемонстрировал невероятную силу воли. Его история трогает за живое и показывает, что не всё так просто, как кажется.
4. Документальная лента 🎥
15:15 — Документальный фильм
Фильм стремился раскрыть настоящие проблемы, стоящие за процессом похудения, но многие важные аспекты были упущены. Такой подход не смог привлечь глубину, на которую надеялись зрители.
5. Джоэль — история успеха 💪
19:15 — Джоэль
Джоэль стал ярким примером изменений, но его путь был далек от совершенства. Это действительно вдохновляет, однако нам не хватает более глубокого освещения его опыта.
6. Пилюли с кофеином? ☕
35:30 — Кофеиновые таблетки???
Возникли вопросы и сомнения относительно здоровья участников, особенно когда разговор зашёл о пилюлях с кофеином. Это создает дополнительные слои сложности в понимании процесса похудения.
7. Образование и опыт 🎓
37:15 — Образованная аудитория
Аубри Гордон заметила, что многие нюансы жизни не связанные с «тонкостью» находятся в тени. Необходимо более адекватное освещение этой тематики в медиа.
8. Неполнота материала ❌
42:30 — Более чем просто «тонкость»
Фильм оставляет чувство, что многие важные аспекты были пропущены. Этот проект мог бы быть гораздо глубже и более осмысленным.
9. Заключение ✨
45:45 — Многое было упущено
В завершении хочу сказать, что документальный фильм «The Biggest Loser» на Netflix мог бы стать важным шагом к пониманию процесса похудения и ментального здоровья.
Однако, чрезмерная поверхностность и отсутствие углубленного анализа оставляют много вопросов. Как зрителю, мне существенно не хватало более глубокого контекста.
Надеюсь, моя точка зрения окажется полезной! 🌟 Выбирайте контент с умом и обдуманностью.

This show is stupid.
YES! 2 IBS is how much you should be losing per week.
She is a bigger girl so at maximum 3.5-4 ibs at the start MAXIMUM, you start losing muscle as well whit calories so low.
Can't believe wanting to see Krampus, I was scared shitless of these whenever I visited my grandparents as a child XD
There are so many points that could be made about the show, but as soon as I found out they gave Aubrey screen time the documentary lost what little credibility it could have had. That woman is vile and does not know what she's talking about, in this case quite literally since she was neither on the show or watched it. All she sees is an opportunity to spew her own rhetoric.
Im crying just watching O'Neil's story. What a gem of a person 😭😭
I feel like one caffiene pill is not a big deal ? Why do they keep emphasizing that ? 😂 like people drink tons of coffee, one caffiene pill isn’t gonna do much.
I feel like this is the view of a small part of what happened. What about all the other contestants?
The Biggest Loser was the dumbest show in the history of television, and Americans fell for it. Its entire purpose was imbecilic, and all of the fitness trainers on the show were idiots.
it’s important to hear the negative stories. It became very obvious that the producers just wanted money and went out to find a vulnerable population to exploit. With that being said, you are not “wrong” or “evil” for enjoying or drawing inspiration from the show. It’s just also important to learn about the dark underbelly of TV like this.
They used an Omorosa approach with Joelle. Finding the villian to stir controversy.
I think it seems like the show and you aren't realizing maybe Joelle has ADHD or is neurodivergent in some way. That would make regular excercise very difficult for her. It's not just a matter of "will."
Netflix, once a pioneer, now serves visual food akin to McDonald's. I haven't had a Netflix subscription in years. What a garbage channel
I’m still watching, but having two women go up against a woman and a man for weight loss competition is INSANE.
Of course that man lost the most weight! Men drop it quick and it’s a lot faster than women due to leaner fat and metabolism differences
Actually, There are so many variables in weight loss for each individual, doing a competition is crazy unhealthy and I can’t believe I loved the idea of this show when I was a kid 😂 the 90s/early 2000s was such a crazy time for misinformation in the media with food and dieting.
the irony is that joelle looks like she kept the weight off and looks great. Makes you think
I've never watched this show a day in my life but I think I love O'Neal.
28:36 so you acknowledge the show is toxic. The regime was literally not safe. You even say youre surprised no one had a heart attack then basically say joelle deserved the bullying and abuse from the coaches and her peers for struggling to keeep up… and you say she must have been dislikable because no one liked her yet they dont show us any evifence other than her struggling.
I’m a 5’10” 29 year old weighing 135lbs. I personally love me a bigger woman over women my size or smaller. Ever since a kid, I loved bigger women. I refused to watch this show because I couldn’t fathom how people were okay with this worldwide humiliation. I understood they were unhealthily overweight and at risk of death, but I couldn’t see the ugliness and disgust that everyone else saw. Jillian Michaels always pissed me off when I would walk past the TV when my family was watching this.
"Documentaries" like this recall Neil Postman's classic polemic Amusing Ourselves to Death. What a distracted, decadent society. Even he had no idea how bad this would get.
Taking the stairs consistently will actually help you lose weight. I did it and lost like 20 lbs.
7:45 it would mKe more sense for the ppl first who should leave! What an evil show
21:43 joelle is likeable tho
What a strange defense of the biggest loser. Someone from my hometown was on it and won. It's not sustainable, he regained all the weight and MORE after the show. This show was as much about weight loss and health as Flavor of Love was about finding him a real wife.
The biggest loser was about entertainment and making money full stop. The impression you give that they actually made this show from a caring place is laughable. Losing 15 lbs a week is unhealthy, dangerous and unsustainable. Yikes.
"I'm looking at everyone else; they're struggling to breathe, they're throwing up"
Even I know that you're not supposed to push yourself that fucking hard…
Wtf was the point of Aubrey's interview?? She didn't know shit. Contributed nothing to the documentary. What was the point?
I must say that the biggest loser is totally unethical. Regardless of intentions on helping people, they made it a spectacle which put people’s health at risk. period. Sure you can say these people signed up themselves, no one forced them. But come on. It’s the early 2000s. Skinny wasn’t just in— people would DIE for it. The producers, the trainers, everyone involved owe every single contestant an apology for not having their best at heart. This show never should’ve aired.
I only know about this show because my god damn elementary school teacher would make jokes referencing it all the time (in like 5th grade) which is super weird in retrospect!
oh 🥺 … you retelling the story of O'Neal made me cry…. my goodness I wish that man and his family the very best in life
They should have had you make the documentary smh
8:07 someone had a heart attack… wasnt it literally in the Netflix show?
9:25 That is not unhealthy weight loss if it came from adjusting their diet and exercising. There is nothing wrong with rapid weight loss if done properly. I feel this myth of an unhealthy rate of weight loss is some BS perpetuated by the pseudoscientists in Big Health. I started at 235 lbs and lost a pound a day for two months simply by quitting drinking and trash food. I switched to an animal-based clean keto diet and learned to cook for myself, eating one meal a day. Not only did the fat melt away, but my muscle mass increased and hormones settled to where they ought to be. I have a little lose skin, sure, but you're gonna have loose skin no matter how fast or slowly you lose the weight.
40:10 "It's called a grocery store" LMBOOOOOOOO
"I have to drive back to the airport to get a sim card" Are there no sim cards available downtown???
I love that you have camera in a way where you can see your sleeping pupper. Is it a basset hound?
I’m so glad i ran into this vid. I watched all the seasons and loved the show, while admitting it had issues, as you mentioned.
I saw the trailer of this “documentary,” and immediately knew it was just going to trash the show with butthurt contestants.
I’m glad i didn’t invest any time on that crap documentary. Thanks for your opinion. I agree with everything you said.
Documentary maker SWOOP on youtube also had a great video about this show.
Have you guys ever read the back of your morning cereal box it is loaded with SUGAR AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR STARBUCKS WITH MORE SUGAR!! OUR FOOD IS POISON AND BANNED IN OTHER COUNTRIES. ASK YOURSELFS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WEIGHT EPIDEMIC THE GOVERNMENT!!! THE FDA THEY ALLOW THE POISON. THEY WANT TO KILL US SLOWLY LIKE RATS.
Naaaah bad take here, it's perfectly reasonable to have a fat advocate talk about a fatphobic show. She doesn't say she didn't watch it, she says she doesn't watch it regularly. I don't think there is any defending this show. Those contestants that we loved were being driven into something incredibly harmful. Losing weight in the way shown in this show will not help people to live longer.
Michael Hobbes just said he watched the show. Did you not hear him properly?
Jesus Christ loves you. the netflix thing just further proves why fat people's opinions dont matter, fat people are people. they are curs on society.
I see why O’Neals wife married him. That’s a man right there.
I’m glad he and Sunshine are both doing well today. I wish them the ABSOLUTE best in life. ❤
I think a really big issue of modern conversations surrounding weight loss and even body positivity is that, in some circles, weight loss is loomed at as a completely negative thing that toxic communities are forcing upon people, and while, yes that CAN be the case, a lot of time there are genuinely obese folks whose lives could turn around if they lost weight. Losing weight is so hard. It IS inspirational and it can be necessary. If something were to happen to my father where he needed to run for his life, he would not be able to because of his weight. O'Neil found happiness in exercise and weight loss despite his hardships. On the other side of the coin, body positivity is important. We shouldn't teach little girls the toxic rhetoric that was forced upon us growing up. We should celebrate healthy, fat bodies. There was a lot of toxic community surrounding weight loss for many years in the 2000s/early 2010s, but I think we reached a happy medium point in the late 2010s when body positivity was celebrated, but weight loss was as well. We've lost that. All that to say, this show was toxic, but inspirational and Aubrey doesn't know jack shit.
I how Jillian wins her lawsuit
I enjoyed The Biggest Loser and don’t really feel bad for the contestants, especially ones after the first couple of seasons when the show had been on for a while. They saw people being pushed so hard they puked and stuff. They saw the trainings yelling. They knew what they signed up for. Joelle is just a cry baby.
I love to watch the show ! And no it’s not because I’m making fun of the people it’s because I can relate
People are so weak
Thanks
"if i had that level of audacity, it would actually change my life" is now part of my lexicon. but also, Aubrey Gordon strongly reminded me of your previous videos about fat activists like Virgie Tovar. it's not just audacity, but also a strong commitment to her own conviction that it's not even worth trying to make any type of change, and everyone who chooses to do so is just being abused or brainwashed.
Girllllll I’m crying shut up O’Neal has me sobbing
Is Aubrey part of the fat acceptance movement that is to the extreme of denying health problems r/t obesity? Ie like tess holliday?
hot take: you don't really need to watch this show regularly to know it's used to justify and empower fatphobia. you can see a few clips and get the jist very quickly. turning weight loss and body shaming into a reality show was a money-making scheme, no one cared about making fat people's lives better or easier. it's really as simple as that
