Our Favorite TV Shows We Didn’t Know Were Staged
The Biggest Loser

You won’t believe it, but a recent report suggests that the high-tech equipment used to show how much weight the contestants lose on the show is fake. In reality, they are weighed and measured two days before filming. Additionally, the qualifications of the medical professionals on the show have been called into question, with some viewers wondering if they are truly qualified to prescribe medication. Furthermore, the contestants are often depicted as being more sedentary than they really are, which can give viewers a skewed perception of their actual activity levels.
