Biggest Loser 2009 - Couples 2

[bound2travel]

I just tuned into the show. I just have to say that Ron is - just aren't words. At the beginning, he was all... I need to stay here - blah blah blah. Now that someone else is in the same position - he's all .... no, can't get help here on the ranch, have to go home to get it. Part of his stuff is about the medical, but the rest is just.... (no words I can type here).

I'm so annoyed with him.

I'm glad they cut Filipe's hair!

I'm glad they took the chunky highlights out of Kristen's hair.

I'm glad they shaved Ron's beard.

I thought they all looked good. Nice white teeth, nice clothes, nice hair.

Mike is so cute! Boy, does his mother look so young!

Mike did make a comment that his dad hasnt been at Xlbs in so long....that he mom probably hadn't even been born then.

Kristen was the bigger threat to them but hopefully Laura was better off going home to let her injury heal.

Funny about the one post being in white...all the posts are in white for me with the background I chose for this board. I love spoilers though!!

I agree.

Laura had the best makeover but I think she needed to go home so she could heal.

My daughter went "Oh my goodness, she went Goth" when Kristin was revealed.

The rest were not a lot of change. I will be the dissenting voice and say I liked the chia hair better. It needed to be cut just not that much.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Is anyone else NOT impressed with the makeover? I didn't think many changed much at all in style/looks and the dresses are very unflaterring for most of the girls.

Ditto. Underwhelmed with the "looks".

While I know Ron was full of it, he was right that Laura did need to go home to heal. Now if he could look in the mirror and come to the same conclusion.

Jill is still whooping Bob's butt. I really do not understand it. I wonder what is going on with that?
Just looking at the line it is Jill at the top and Bob on the bottom.

Eat that Felipe. Did you see him look over and think "damn".

Tara and Helen are sooo selfish, Laura really needed to go home, she wasn't going to get the help she needed at the ranch and everyone knew it. I haven't liked either one of them for that reason, selfish and self-centered ...uggh. Go Mike! He looked good, but I felt so bad for his brother Max I hope that Ron and Mike can really help him when they go home.

I'm sorry, but I think that you lapped up Ron's BS. He wanted to break green up so Tara no longer had Laura to protect her. That was his #1 goal and "Ron the Kingmaker" managed to get the person he wanted voted off again. If Kristen ends up beating little Mikey, then he can look to himself for why. It was the perfect opportunity to get rid of Kristen and they didn't. He thinks that he can manipulate her, but he's wrong if she makes it to the finals she has a really good shot of winning it all. Dumb and dumber. Laura could have gotten medical support and an adjusted work out schedule JUST LIKE RON has for his bad knees and other ailments. In addition, she could have been seen by a physical therapist right there at the ranch. She did not have to go home to get better. What a crock.

Also, the default background is not a pure white, so white text shows up anyway. No worries, though.

Exactly- I was yelling at the TV when Ron was spouting his BS about Laura needing to go home to "heal" and "take care of herself". Quite a different tune from when he was begging to stay, and having tons of medical issues. I think Mike wanted to vote Kristin, but was afraid to because of his dad. I thought Mike was starting to come into his own, but I guess not as much as I thought. I can't wait to see the confrontation between them next week, but it probably isn't as bad as they played in the previews.

Yep. Ron is this years Vicky. I can't believe people fall for his crap. They have his number now. Even Mike was not agreeing with his decision.

Ron is expecting Kristen to protect Mike however she is loyal to Felipe.

Sorry, but no. I can't take Ron either. His manipulative game play is annoying as much as Tara and Helen's selfishness is. I do agree Ron should go home for his medical issues, but a fracture in your hip is pretty serious, hence Jillian's reaction, even she knew Laura couldn't be as effective if she stayed at the Ranch, hello, she GAINED weight. They are all playing the game, so that isn't really my issue. I think Tara and Helen are too self-centered and I don't care for them at all. Even though I don't like Ron, at least he's been upfront and honest about his game play, he'll do anything for his son(not that I agree with it ). I like Kristen and Mike, I think they are the most genuine, especially Kristen.

What show are you watching? He is a lying sack.

GO TARA!

See, I think Tara and Helen knew how Ron, Mike, and Felipe were going to vote. They knew that Laura was going to get voted out and they didn't need to write her name down. I don't think Tara would ever have written her friend's name on the paper. No matter if Tara thought Laura should go home or not, there wasn't any need to vote for her if she knew she was already on her way out. Why would she put an extra "dig" in to Laura? This is her friend.

Great post!



I kept saying the same thing when Ron insisted Laura has to go home because of her limited liabilities to work out. HELLO??? From day one he couldn't do what the others did because of HIS medical problems.
But that's okay???? Please!!! the man is a piece of dirt!

Amen to that!

Apparently not the same one as you. Hasn't he outright told everyone that he would do anything for his son? You know, the part of my quote you didn't HIGHLIGHT? Like I said, I do not like Ron, but you can't change the facts, or, maybe you can

 

[glasslipper]

Naturally she is not going to vote for Laura.

Only because she'd lose a vote and knew it would affect her ability to last longer in the game. In my opinion, Tara has not been much of a friend to Laura, at least the way the show has been edited. Tara is out for Tara, period. I liked Laura, she's been a true Friend, I was sorry she was the one who was injured.

 

[NAB]

Ron did not say get Laura out because she couldn't exercise he said let her go home because she could do real damage to her hip. The doctor said she had to heal for three months. You have to remember this was months ago so of course she looked good when they showed her now. Ron said he understood the pain she was in. Don't get me wrong I don't care much for Ron either but I think this time he was right.

If he really wanted to game play he would have voted for Kristen since his chances of staying longer and above the yellow line were if Laura stayed.

It looks good next week when Mike confronts him.

If he will do anything for his son he should have voted off Kristen. Total gameplay. He thinks he has Kristen in his backpocket.

That is why he voted off Laura.

I have a question about Laura's injury. Do these types of stress fractures "just happen?" How much responsibility does Jillian have as her trainer? I think the trainers are way over the top in terms of the way they push the contestants. It makes for good TV, but I have concerns about whether it is good for the people involved. It seems like a lot of people are going to the hospital this season.

So...people who have had experience with stress fractures.....Should a good trainer be able to prevent this type of injury from happening?
