Will NBC show Biggest Loser redeem itself tonight?

Tonight, Biggest Loser is on before or after The State of The Union Address depending whether you are on the East or West Coast. Thankfully it will be only one hour long tonight. Why do I use the word thankfully?

The show this season has lost a lot of credibility. First it was the Unknown Trainers gimmick they did where they purposely tried to conceal the identity of the show's 2 new trainers this season. After a week since they finally revealed them, they are completely forgettable to me. I honestly can't even remember their first names as revealed on last week's episode.

But the weigh-in last week was really bad. The team made up of the two older male twins both gained 9 pounds each that week. Then they had the nerve to act like they didn't know anything about it. I have watched almost the entire run of this series and I have NEVER seen people GAIN that much weight on the show. It was so obvious these guys (who ironically are both police officers!) were throwing the weigh-in that week. No explanation was offered last week why the twin officers team threw it.

So I am hoping for a confession from the remaining guy who wasn't voted out during tonight's episode that they did indeed throw the weigh-in last week. So hopefully it will happen tonight.

But then something bad happened this morning during the Today Show. The eliminated twin came on and acted like they didn't know what caused the huge weight gain. Well Matt Lauer obviously doesn't watch The Biggest Loser, or he would have grilled him like a credible news reporter should have.

I would really appreciate before this season is over, that these 2 cops confess that they threw that weigh-in because they are sending bad messages to other people trying to lose weight. And as trusted public officials, they are also making kids think that it is OK to fib sometimes.
