This new series of ads for The Biggest Loser Australia 2012 season makes me very uncomfortable. There’s a very clear undertone that by being overweight you can’t be happy in yourself or be confident enough to find (or even deserve) love. Sure, loose some pounds, but you can’t be happy until you’ve lost weight and then gained another 80kg in co-dependency? Is this the message that Channel 10 are stooping to with this new series? This is shaping to be a very interesting season of Loser in 2012…

- Only skinny people experience “real love”?!?! - [...] The assertion that people who are overweight cannot find “real love” is absurd. Yes obese people suffer from self-esteem…
Hi there, i would like to know who sing the song “real Love” on this promo 😉 if you could tell me 😉
Regina Spektor 😉
That ain’t Regina.
yes it is
I HOPE LISA RITHERDON WINS!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER!!!
I will miss her!!
🙁
i want to know who is singing the song too. it isnt regina’s cover.
It is Regina Spektor.
I’d also like to know who it is singing. It is the Regina Spektor arrangement but it’s not Regina singing. She’s a lot huskier and the person singing in the promo is quite pure. It’s also in a slightly different key.
According to comments in the youtube video of the promo, the singer’s name is Mariam Sawires.

stephanie, you are a legend!
*sigh* have you actually listened to the biggest loser ad with the song? it is completely different to reginas cover!
Thank god it’s not Regina Spektor! I thought it wasn’t, but I was worried that it was wishful thinking – I don’t believe that she would ever sign off on something like this!
i cant wait to see my teacher ( Lisa Ritherdon)
