There's no need for the BL to exaggerate the feats of their contestants. They should be celebrated for getting off their butts and exercising.

It is a big deal to shortchange the distance or misrepresent the facts. This is a show about exercise, I find it hard to believe that no one on staff has the knowledge that misinformation is presented in thier show.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985763949093728970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754153629453622805.post-66385330089583000632009-02-27T07:31:00.000-08:002009-02-27T07:31:00.000-08:00Two years ago, I was dead last in a yearly tri tha...Two years ago, I was dead last in a yearly tri that I do. <BR/><BR/>Last year, I was second to the last (my husband was last this time. LOL)<BR/><BR/>This year, I have been training for a century so that I can move up in the pack and I also plan on attempting my first 1/2 marathon.<BR/><BR/>I may be slow and last but at least I have my self-respect and the the Tri community has always been so supportive of my efforts.<BR/><BR/>Shame on Dane! This really bums me out and I'm so glad you pointed this out because my mouth dropped when I heard his time as well. No, I don't feel so bad about being slow.

I was sitting on the couch kinda dumbfounded. After only 2 years of running, I ran my first marathon in 4:38 and was damn proud of that and then I see this fat out of shape guy turns in a 3:53. I guess BL doesn't realize what a slap in the face this stuff is to real Ironmen (and women) and real marathoners.<BR/><BR/>You're right, a 1/2 marathon is a huge accomplishment too. Celebrate that.<BR/><BR/>And I absolutlely hate all the "in show" commercials. If they cut out that and all the repeating things when they came back from commercial, they could wrap that show up in an hour instead of two.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994066722757186377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754153629453622805.post-24662835964549054362009-02-27T06:41:00.000-08:002009-02-27T06:41:00.000-08:00Why is this making me mad?

I think that would be confusing to newbies who may not know the distances or what to expect for finishing times. That could be discouraging for some people if they think a sub-4 marathon is what they should be running.

Heba, Vicki, Heba's Husband, and the guy that owned the deli that won Season 5 (?) were the interviewees.<BR/><BR/>They were talking about how they have to keep food journals to prove they are eating, but in reality most of them aren't eating at all. Oh, and most of that 'week one' weight loss is from A LOT of vomiting during the first week. YUCK!<BR/><BR/>The guy that won Season 5 has gained all his weight back and then some. My husband said "I think they should do a reunion show" <BR/><BR/>I don't think they will because, in reality, very few of the contestants have been set up for long term success.<BR/><BR/>Either way, I'm disappointed in BL for lying, stretching the truth, or bad editing.Lauren Starkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459810974120871466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754153629453622805.post-3645687888074643462009-02-26T21:20:00.000-08:002009-02-26T21:20:00.000-08:00Thanks for the eye opener!

But I'm afraid it's gonna be one of those shows that is too smart for TV and will go the way of Pushing Daisy (RIP my beloved Pie Man and Bee Girl and Digby and Pigby and wonderful Itty Bitty... sigh... Bryan Fuller's shows rock but are too damn smart... Dead like me was another awesome one of his). <BR/><BR/>But as for reality TV? My true love is so you think you can dance but that's only on once a year. Or you can opt for the skinny bitches in America's Next Top Model I had to stop watching that hot mess though.
