Okay, so the nuthouse is doing The Biggest Loser. There is a total of $900 at stake, which will be divided into 4 prizes -- 1st thru 4th Biggest Loser if there is a mix of males and females leading, 1st and 2nd Male and 1st and 2nd female if all the males lose weight faster to compensate for that effect ... so the initial setup appears to include elements of fairness.

There are two rules. No Bariatric Surgery and No Starvation.

So I hear the person who is organizing it on the phone yesterday ... she's saying "and so and so is in it ..."

So and so has gastric bypass.

I have called foul, but so far they are allowing her to be in, claiming, "Well, she plateaued. She's really doing it for the support and motivation."

"She's cheating," I say. She should not be in it.

So, FatLeader is going to poll the other participants to see if they mind that someone who is cheating is in the game.

If she's not kicked off the island, do I drop out?
