These participants are a refreshing change from the wannabes who tend to populate reality television.

Of all the reality shows on Australian television, this one, appropriately enough, is the most bloated. Ten has stretched a one-hour US format over 41/2 hours, which makes sense when you consider how bare Ten's shelves are at the moment, but it hardly makes for action-packed viewing.

What little action there is - exercise routines, a weekly weigh-in and challenges that, for obvious reasons, lack pace and athleticism - is cobbled together with interminable flashbacks and analysis from the participants.

It's a shame because the show has a good heart and the participants (retiring type-B personalities with self-esteem issues) make a refreshing change from the grasping wannabes who tend to populate reality shows.
