[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 289375, member: 1233"] I am glad someone else likes it. I think it really shows that if you work at something you can achieve it, with-o creating false expectations that just because a tv crew worked with you that you will always win. I liked the episode about the girl who wanted to win a plus sized modeling contract. They worked her HARD for 8 weeks, esp the trainer. She was amazed that she had to lose weight to be a plus size model but she went from a size 18 to a size 12. Most of that was in the last weeks after they called her on the diet cheating and skipping workouts. So MANY kids just don't want to stick with anything that is tough or requires hard work. They want to jump to the end where things are "fun" and easy looking with-o earning that and the money that goes with that level of success. I am getting very disgusted with that attitude. I think it comes from having everything spoon fed in school and with the internet age making actually looking things up in a library pretty useless. but I am a dinosaur I think. [/QUOTE]
