Anyone watching The Biggest Loser Asia?

In case anyone's forgotten, The Biggest Loser Asia (TBLA) started a couple of weeks ago - I know I nearly did. To be fair, I haven't been watching the US one since they started the 2 hour episodes and Hallmark only shows them an hour at a time here.

I missed out on the first portion of the show, which I guess must be the KL leg of the audition process, which I would've loved to watch, but I also forgot to watch the reruns (if any).

I have no problems with Sarimah Ibrahim as host; if it was Jojo Struys I'd be annoyed. I think they probably would've gotten Allan Wu if he already wasn't hosting TARA, but I have no idea if there's ever a male Biggest Loser host anywhere else on the planet.

Choice of trainers - well, as long as they can speak English properly (even if it's Aussie and Kiwi accents), I'm fine with that. Odd, but it's either them or scrawny people that can't speak English - jatuh standard nanti. Though I can't help but think that they're trying too hard to be Bob and Jillian at this point: one hard ass trainer, the other the good cop trainer.

Episode 2 is the final fat trim from 30 to 16 contestants and it took them 90 minutes to do that. For me, I can't wait to see the actual competition and I'm just watching for the heck of it.

I've no idea if anyone's putting the show up online, but if you're on Astro, it's on 9 p.m. (GMT +8) on Tuesdays on the Hallmark Channel (Channel 702).
