"You don't really need to eat - you can live off your fat for the next 12 weeks. But Ok, we'll allow you pitiful amounts of food anyway. Even though you've already had more than your share of the world's food."

Maybe those are not unusual numbers to be considered, eliminated, and quit, then end up with so few completing it.
