Yet another ad for the third season of The Biggest Loser Australia, this one another contestant themed spot.

This ad features Sam.

There’s been a bit of conjecture on the official forums over this ad with some people being a little dubious over Sam’s claim that he has been teased at university due to his size. People are saying that such things just don’t happen at university.

I think people are conveniently forgetting that a lot of university students are only just out of high school. And they don’t magically turn into adults in the intervening months. So it certainly is possible that people are harassing Sam over his, let’s be honest, grossly obese body.

But is that what is actually happening? Or does he have other personality faults in play that are a bigger factor? It’s impossible to know just yet.

The rest of the ad is pretty run of the mill – he wants the confidence to meet new people, he’s still young and wants a better quality of life, etc.

Both trainers would seem to have something to offer Sam. Shannan would help his self confidence, and his love of boxing training would probably help Sam’s ability to deal with any teasing, as he’d have the physical confidence to stand up to people if necessary.

But I think Michelle will probably be the better option – the attention of an attractive female is always a nice boost to someone’s self esteem.

Even if they are being paid for their time.
