We last saw John — a Boston fella who, at age 27, weighs 750 pounds — when he was responding to his YouTube audience about whether or not he is gay. (Draw your own conclusions.) But all of his videos on the user account "fatboygetdown" have since been pulled. Even the one that'd been seen nearly a million times, where he is dancing shirtless. Is it because John is deciding to do something with is life? Yes. He wants to be on NBC's The Biggest Loser.
Plenty of folks would conclude that John's videos were embarrassing. Possibly so. But we're enthralled with his new mission: Get on The Biggest Loser. If you've never seen the weight-loss reality show, you're missing out. Yes, it's a spectacle, but it's also some of the most gut-wrenching, tear-inducing television on primetime. Yes, more than Grey's Anatomy. The best part of the show are the "reveals," when the formerly obese reveal their new svelte selves. This isn't about pointing fingers are heavy people. It's about celebrating their will power — of which we have none! — and dedication to living healthy lives.
So we're joining John's plight to get him on The Biggest Loser. John pleads that you make his case to producers by writing to:

Sorry we don't need another negative stereotype of a Gay nellie queen on TV. The Biggest Loser does have some really motivated people on it, wanting to lose weight to get healthy, live longer and more productive lives. Not for more attention……
Well, I am glad he is at least trying to get onto a show to lose weight! I mean he finally got the initiative to make a positive change in his life…as for getting attention…well it is reality tv!!
you dont need the biggest loser to get fit. you need to want to get fit, and begging to get on tv is a sad new reality in lazy america.
@ extrabatteries.
Exactly. Its slavish behavior which is at the heart of the problem. Keeping Up Appearances meets Keeping Up with the Kardashians? Sick (but,when can I tune in).
Take stock of your situation. Think about solutions. Continue thinking about them or pick one and do. Its that simple.
@torrentialsmile – plus everyone knows, if you want to lose weight you go on survivor. you lose weight and get a million dollars.
He (no one) needs something as flip as "The Biggest Looser". He has a life threatening condition.
