actually i think its obvious she does care a lot. she would not be there for 11 seasons otherwise

It is when you weigh 400+ pounds....

I feel the same way as Terra R. If anything people should feel ashamed that they even ended up on the show. And I feel they deserve public humiliation and exploitation for allowing themselves to get sooo obese. It takes action and self discipline to lose weight and keep it off. these people convince themselves that the show is their last and only hope. And that is real sad. I watch this show to motivate myself to not let my guard down and stay active and eat right.

I don't feel bad for the contestants. Sometimes it takes drastic measures to get ppl to understand whats happening and going to happen if things don't change. This gives them more motivation and more understanding about how serious the choices they've made have effected them and hopefully given them the courage to change for the better. They weren't embarrassed buying junk food, or fast food, or binge eating and choosing not to get out and at least take a walk. Why should they feel embarrassed for showing the world what they have done to themselves?....ITS NOT A SECRET! They have done this to themselves for whatever reasons, and a lot of times its to the point that it effects their family/loved ones. No one should feel sorry for them.
