On a losing streak

I'm currently in Australia, where everyone's gone mad for a programme called "The Biggest Loser" where people compete to lose the most weight in the full glare of TV lights. No indignity is spared the competitors and they are ruthlessly measured down to the last gram. The problem from my point of view is that it's as boring as hell. Maybe it's the people taking part, who seem to be a particularly humourless bunch, focused with unblinking narcissism on the goal of winning the competition. It's truly wretched entertainment.

One thing's for sure, I would rather eat my own head than appear on a programme like that. Imagine forever after being known as "that fat girl from the telly"!
