It’s almost been a week now since they crowned Asia’s FIRST Biggest Loser here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - and being one of the more prominent health and fitness blogs, and also someone who’s talked about the show quite a bit over the last few months here on my blog, I’ve had more than a few curious people writing to me wondering why I have had nothing to say about the crowning of the winner.
To be honest, I am not as shocked as most people are at what has happened. And as a week has gone by, it’s pretty obvious that all over the Internet, people are ‘unhappy’ about what the winner, David Gurnani, has achieved. Again.. I’m not surprised. [click to continue...]

As we’re just days away from the crowning of Asia’s FIRST Biggest Loser - who will walk away with a cash prize of US$100,000?
Using the most unfair method possible to judge the winner, which is just actual weight lost on the scale - it only opens the competition up to cheating and drastic methods.
Think about it - if those contestants on the biggest loser gained muscle - they would be penalized. And how ridiculous is that? Penalize someone for gaining muscle? [click to continue...]

It has been awhile since I last caught an episode of the Biggest Loser Asia. In fact, just earlier this week, I happen to catch the latest episode playing on Hallmark, but barely 10 minutes into the show, and I switched over to the Asian Food Channel instead. Why? Frankly… it sickens me.
Yes, this is a huge statement I’m making considering I was really excited about the show late 2009. I even had the privilege to be part of a guerilla-marketing stunt held last year in Kuala Lumpur (which I got paid handsomely for), I attended the media launch event, and invited to another event for a chance to interview Dave and Kristy (which I could not attend at the last moment).
So what changed?

Finally, the long awaited announcement for the Trainers on Asia’s very first Biggest Loser was made a couple of days ago - and to those of you who haven’t heard, the Biggest Loser Asia Fitness Trainers are Dave Nuku and Kristy Curtis!
Dave Nuku (originally from Wellington, New Zealand, but now residing in KL) will be leading the Blue Team, and for those of you who would like to see more of him, here’s his Biggest Loser Trainer audition video which I found on YouTube: [click to continue...]

Now that the ground auditions are over in Malaysia, many people I know have been left wondering whether they stand a chance to be on the show.
At the audition, some were also secretly disappointed that there were ‘bigger’ people who showed up at the ground audition, thus making it tougher to be selected.
As we already know, only 30 applicants will be chosen to be on the show, and with over 200 people turning up for the ground auditions in Malaysia alone - and with applications STILL OPEN up to the end of August… the question I want to deal with today is whether Bigger is Better?
