‘Lost.’ You have to suspend every shred of disbelief to accept the preposterous premise of this hit show. But don’t expect the Rage to swallow the fact that Hugo ‘Hurley’ Reyes, the amiable yak of a man on the island, has not lost an ounce since he became marooned. It’s been three months on the island and Hurley looks as if he wanders off to all-you-can-eat buffet in a cave every afternoon. The Rage is bothered by the fact that the show’s costumers and makeup artists meticulously apply sweat stains and stubble to make it all feel so real. Yet no one has thought to consider the fact that an obese guy played by Jorge Garcia -- walking everyday on an island in extreme heat and eating minimally -- would shed about 4 to 6 pounds per week.

By now, Hurley should be ‘Lost’s Biggest Loser.’
