Middle class the biggest losers in budget plan

Gov. Jon Corzine's budget plan can be described in many ways. Most of them aren't very flattering, or even printable. And some of its deficiencies aren't entirely his fault.

But his effort to characterize the plan as protection for the middle class is disingenuous at best. It does nothing of the sort. In fact, it hits the middle class harder than any other group.

Consider, foinstance, some of the highlight provisions of the proposal. Property tax rebates are being eliminated for families earning more than $75,000, and slashed by a third for those between $50,000 and $75,000. That's a whole lot of middle class getting blasted.

Seniors are exempted from the cuts, so they're being protected to a degree. So are the poor. Higher-income earners are protected in part by their own wealth. So the middle class isn't only getting hit the hardest, they'll also feel it the most.

The Biggest Loser: Couples

It's the biggest season ever with 11 couples who begin the show with a combined weight of more than 3.5 tons. The season also marks several "firsts," with the series' oldest players yet (63-year-old grandparents), youngest male contestant (18), heaviest female contestant (379 lbs.) and heaviest contestant ever in the history of the show (454 lbs.).

The Biggest Loser Couples' going at record pace

REASON TO WATCH Bethpage-raised Tara Costa, who could become the third contestant from Long Island to win NBC's resurgent reality show. (The others: Erik Chopin of West Islip and Bill Germanakos of Massapequa.)

WHAT IT'S ABOUT The couple who are probably of greatest interest to L.I. viewers are roomies Tara and Laura (last names on the show, as with most reality shows, are rarely if ever used or mentioned). Both are longtime friends and plus-size models who worked in New York. Costa, 23, is an executive with L'Oreal in Manhattan, but her hometown is Bethpage.

Costa is now the one to beat on NBC's highest-rated unscripted show - 10.4 million viewers to date, or 2 million over the sixth season. The show is also on pace to become the most-watched "Loser" of them all.

A winner is determined by who loses

the most weight, expressed as a percentage, over the course of the season. Costa began the season at 294 pounds and is now within a few pounds of losing 100, the first female to do so while on the ranch at "TBL."

CATCHING UP Costa is de facto leader of the Black team (contestants are split into two teams, like "Survivor"), which has completely dominated and demoralized the Blue. How has it managed this feat? In part, Costa won immunity from competition a couple of weeks ago, and then earned rights to strategically match Black team members opposite Blue team members. The Blacks even got a night of luxury, which involved a generous consumption of tequila, and still beat the Blues.

BOTTOM LINE What's best about "The Biggest Loser" - couples or solo - is that it often feels more real than most reality shows. Unlike those others - " The Bachelor," excepted, which is about "true love" - the stakes here seem more personal. This is about health, self-esteem, quality of life and even life expectancy. Sure, someone's going to win a quarter-million, but what's the use of money if future health is squandered? And this season feels most urgent of all. Why? Maybe all the tears at elimination - and who out there didn't tear up just a bit when Mandi was sent home two weeks ago? Meanwhile, there's Costa: She's an everywoman who's morphed into a superwoman. Many viewers are rooting for her. Easy to see why.

GRADE A- ("The Biggest Loser" earns a demerit for those grating in-show product placement plugs.)
