Season 1 Review: Combine[s] the tension of the boardroom in "The Apprentice," the machinations of "Survivor," the tears of a Dr. Phil cry-athon, and the tonnage of a Weight Watchers meeting. [20 Oct 2004]

Season 10 Review: The experience encourages plenty of predictably sappy statements like "Even though we're black and blue, we're all in the same fight together," but why use drill sergeants when you've already got Bob & Jillian? [5 Nov 2010, p.65]

Season 1 Review: Jillian... was so obnoxious and smugly hostile in the opener that I found myself practically rooting for one of the big-bellied contestants to squash her like a common household bug. [26 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review: NBC has presented one installment of "The Biggest Loser" so far - and one was enough to dismiss it entirely. [25 Oct 2004]
