As easy as it is to blame BL America, and they are certainly at fault, which is why I was concerned about Thor being on the program(post #3 in this thread), but the weight regain is also biology. Another Cracked article:

It will be interesting to see how the Iclandic contestants fare compared to the American contestants. Will the extra support help keep the weight off? Someone should do their masters thesis on this.
A fellow blogger wrote that keeping off the weight is a second job. If you can't commit to that second job for the rest of your life, DON'T BOTHER because losing the weight and regaining it does more damage to your body than staying at the higher weight your whole life. So all of those contestants that lost the weight on BL and regained it are in WORSE shape than if they had never participated on the show.
