OT Biggest Loser

Post by danimal71 » Mon Nov 01, 2010 7:49 am

I was watching one of my DVR'd episodes of Biggest Loser last night and the showed a shot of one of the contestants waking up and taking of his cpap mask. Did anyone else happen to see this? I wonder how many other contestants are or have been on cpap.

I think I read somewhere that all contestants must undergo a sleep study as part of their interview process.

Respironics is a sponsor of the show, and yes they have to have a sleep study prior to starting the show.

That interesting. I wonder how many found out that for the first time that they had sleep apnea and didn't know about it.

I gave up on Biggest Loser after one of the coaches lost his cool and started dropping to many F-bombs. I couldn't rationalize why he did or why the woman allowed it so I quit watching it.

EDIT, After some thought I am sorry I got off track from your question but I a am still ticked off because of that episode.
