| Chris Powell on the first episode of EMWLE |
I have been trying to figure out how I want to blog about EMWLE. It's tricky: It's only an hour long, it's real interview heavy, and it only covers one person per episode.
One year for a weight loss transformation is amazing, and much longer than The Biggest Loser. And you well know that I think slow and steady wins the race in the weight loss world. I love the personal trainer Chris Powell. He is warm and supportive and has a lot of charisma. I just wish there was more of him and the subject in each episode. I wish they showed the food the people ate. I wish they showed more of the workouts. I just wish there was MORE.
It is a great concept, but I think if they do another season it needs to be a little more dense with HOW the transformation is taking place. People know how a house is built. People don't know as much about how to change their lives and live more healthy.
Please ABC! If you bring back the show, maybe make it a hair longer? It doesn't have to be like The Biggest Loser (20 episodes), but I would like a little more info on the actual transformation and not so much on the big reveal.
That is all.

I think that for us to get more of the process they need to make each episode longer. It really isnt doing the show justice by trying to get a years worth of material in what, 40 min. It is hard to connect to Chris or the person being featured in the episode. Like you said a good concept but needs some tweaking to make it better.
ReplyDeleteThough I agree there could be more added to the 'meat' of the show, not so sure an additional hour would be necessary.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think it would work great if there were hour long episodes, but each 'story' had 2 parts. i.e. week 1 - part 1, week 2 - part 2, week 3 - part 1 of a new person. The alternative would be 90 minute episodes and I have not seen that format used very often.
