Biggest Loser 2009 - Couples 2

[robinb]

Oh man. I just had a bad feeling. I think it's going to be Kristen, Cathy, Ron and Mike as a final 4.

It just struck me: Blue Team doesn't want to win. They WANT TO LOSE so they can pick off Jillian's ex-team members one by one. That's why they got rid of Dane right away and that's why Bob wasn't mad at them!

I put the blame right at Aubry's door. She allowed the Bob threesome to vote out Dane instead of Ron last week by voting for Kristen instead of Ron. I guess that Ron's blubbering got to her ... or she had a tit-for-tat relationship with him but didn't expect him to throw her own sister under the bus the next week.

Two weeks ago the Blue Team was 3 Jillian and 3 Bob. Now it's 1 Jillian and 1 Bob. Talk about "Game Play"! Hats off to the Blue Team.

I agree. I think they should have sent Ron home a long time ago!! They will never win a challenge with him around.

I totally agree. He couldn't even swim in the pool, he was just walking. He lost that challenge for them.

Black team had just a small taste of what it's going to be like back in "the real world" and other than Mike they blew it. But of course it's all Jillian's fault for cramming alcohol and bad food down their throats and you can't forget the cigs. Huge guilt trip for them so they got defensive. Who are they going to blame when they go home? They just don't understand it's really not about teams but it is about learning how to eat right and excercise.

Filipe is Mormon, and I think Sione is as well. In one of the shots they show of Filipe and his wife, they're standing together in front of a picture of a Mormon temple. Additionally, something like 70% of Tonga is Mormon, so the odds are more likely than not. He also mentioned something about being married to his wife for eternity, which is totally a Mormon thing to say. Mormons don't drink or smoke, so I was interested to see what happened.

Because of that, I was very careful to watch what they showed of Filipe and Sione. I don't have Tivo, so I couldn't rewatch it, but it looked like Filipe and Sione did not drink, they just watched/played along with the girls drinking the tequila shots. Also, it showed Helen smoking, and I don't think it showed F&S smoking. The only thing it clearly showed was Filipe chowing down on chicken fingers and french fries. Of course, I might be wrong, but I think that F&S were only guilty of overindulging on the bad food.

I also want to go on the record that Filipe and Sione are crybabies who annoy me because of their attitude over the trainer switch. That said, those dudes sure can lose tons of weight when they're focused.

I have been thinking about this and am confused. It's based on total percent lost right? So, if Kristen has a higher percentage of weight to lose in the first place how could Tara(or anyone) win against her if they both get to their ideal weight? I'm confused. Is there some math segment I am not getting?

Yes you are.

It is based on your individual loss (starting weight/final weight). The percentage of loss is relative.

I agree, I wonder why they were going to vote out Aubrey? Perhaps they were unaware of the Kathy, Ron, Kristen alliance? They need to break up that voting block soon, if that is the case...

Kristen had immunity because she had the largest percent of weight loss for the week.

I like Mike. Someone mentioned he was 16; I thought he was a few years older - like in college? He mentioned the week they gave out the groceries that one college kid doesn't really need all those groceries.

He is 18. He has a younger brother at home who I believe is 16.

Great Job on not smoking!!!

Jillian just posted on her blog and wants to set the record straight. She said she DID work out with Filipe and Sione - she took them surfing and taught them boxing. She said she bought them St. Christopher medals and sent their wives and children Asics shoes. She even said she had been neglecting her other team members to help them. Then she said that Filipe did something very hurtful to her off camera (didn't say what it was) but she told him she needed a day to cool off. She said she didn't do the one-on-one for ONE day with him and he knew she wasn't going to and knew why. Makes me like them even less than I already did.

Filipe and Sione remind me of little first graders who throw temper tantrums when they don't get their way. Bob is not going home with them. Once they are gone, they won't be a blurb in Bob's memory. You have to learn how to take of yourself. Jillian tells it like it is.

Then there's Ron. "It's Madi's time to go home." The voice of God. How on Earth is this guy still there?

If this is the case (and I have no reason to believe it isn't)--This is just another way of NBC, and producers misrepresenting things, manipulating players, and viewers. Just like the marathon crap, and promoting Vicki's tantrums, and ramblings last season. They may think it makes good TV- IMO it doesn't.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Donnajon, thanks for posting that. I don't read blogs so probably out of alot of the loop.
We could use a blog correspondent.

Now as far as what you posted....wow. Filipe is worse than Vicky. I hope he is the first one off if they fall below.

Do you have a link?

I've tried to find blogs and things by the contestants/trainers in the past but have been unsuccessful other than Allie's blog (which I now can't find)....I'd love to see details on some of the behind the scenes stuff...like what was Kristen's medical issue this week? They didn't even mention it other than to say she wasn't allowed to compete.

Thank you. I knew there was a story behind it. I lost respect for them when they whined about going to Jill the first week.

And who the hell is Ron to say who goes home? My DD and I looked at each other and said who left him God to decide that??


I can't even think of wimpy Bob without getting totally pissed. What a loser!!!

 

[robinb]

I have a question for everyone. In this episode Allison said there was "no more of the yellow line" and that they would face off head-to-head. Do you think that will continue into next week? Or did she misspeak?

I'd also love the link to Jillian's blog - love her.

As far as Kristen's medical issue, I've read on the BL board on NBC that she had a back injury and Dr. H wouldn't let her compete.

I think they are going to have to do something to shake things up since the teams are so uneven.

Wow! I am SO in the minority on this thread! LOL I've only been able to read the last few pages however. In general, my thoughts are conflicted about the various contestants.

The temper tantrum of Filipe was annoying. I whole heartedly disagree with the notion of NOT taking responsibility for your own actions. I wish he had owned up to his mistakes (foodwise) and talked to Jillian previously if she hadn't been training him enough personally.

However, with that said.........I was extremely disappointed in Jillian. My jaw just hit the ground with some of the things she said. There's being tough, but there's also being mean. I think she crossed the line more than once. I find that I often disagree with her methods. I respect her as a trainer though.

I'm not sure who I'm routing for to win. I go back and forth on many of the contestants! One day I'll like Tara, and the next day I don't. Generally, I really like Mike, Kristen & Sione. I don't really dislike anyone specifically, but I think it's time for Ron to go. His heart is obviously not in it. Just my 2cents!

Wow! They look good!

I'd love to find spoiler pictures of Mike and Kristin. I am hoping one of them wins.

Also, I am new to this thread and have only watched the show sporadically this season (it comes on against NCIS and The Mentalist which are two of my favorite shows, so I really only watch TBL when they are repeats) but what is the deal with Kristin and having a baby? Was that ever mentioned? I am assuming that she is having infertility issues and they believe it is due to weight?

 

[robinb]

Wow! They look good!

Isn't Sione a cutie? I thought he was pretty darn cute fat and he's extra cute skinnier!
