While she walked away with the title and prize money, her extreme transformation raised eyebrows. Trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper looked visibly unsettled during the finale, and critics accused the show of pushing contestants to dangerous limits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The backlash surrounding Frederickson\u2019s weight loss was intense.

The debate over whether reality TV had pushed too far only grew louder, and within two seasons, The Biggest Loser was canceled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the year following her win, Frederickson wrote an essay for Today, where she opened up about the scrutiny she faced. She admitted that the negative commentary was \u201churtful\u201d but revealed she had since regained about 20 pounds and was focused on balance. \u201cThere will always be other voices in life,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe trouble comes when you stop listening to your own\u201d (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/biggest-loser-winner-rachel-frederickson-opens-about-life-after-controversial-1d80338786\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Today;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Today<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now 35 years old, she has stepped away from showbiz.
