Biggest Loser 2009 - Couples 2

[The Mystery Machine]

I was confused about the "lying to your face" comment because I was fast-forwarding through the show. Was there a comment in the previous discussion that I missed? Or was he commenting on his alliance?

They were talking with BOB...did you see that part?

Uh-huh. The lightening bolt finally hit all of them that Ron is only looking out for his son and does not give a hoot about anyone else. And of course, BOB, true to form, joined in with them and did the gossipy thing.

I think they were compassionate toward him and they realized they are not going to get that FROM HIM.

Basically they realized he is two faced and they are not going to support him in the voting block any longer.

Also they know they need to break up the team of Brown. That is a big problem.

 

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Sorry, I've missed the last 2 episodes since I've been teaching a class and my dearest, darlingest husband and child didn't let the DVR do it's thing because they were recording something else and watching something else!

Can someone bring me up to speed? Why was Ron hospitalized? Who got voted out?

Thanks,

Karen

I liked them both. I didn't know Michelle because I didn't watch last season. Did anyone else think that Ali's bra and/or dress was too tight? She is skinny and she had bra rolls in back! As for Ali's personality ... I did think she was a bit wooden but I felt she was genuine when she told David and Estelle that their weight loss was just a start and that they could do it. She was more of a cheerleader that Allison ever is ... I am annoyed by Allison's slightly sour "disappointed" face when someone fails.

I think that was Ali's mic pack that made the dress look like that at the back. I agree she was very stiff and wouldn't want her to be host all the time. I still like Allison as host.

I was flipping back and forth from Idol so I missed what Kristine and Simone talked to Bob about before they did the work out with him. Why did they get extra time with him and the others didn't.

Ron was having chest pains and went to the hospital. He was found to be losing blood.
They discovered he has a bleeding ulcer.
Lucky for him that he was in BL to get diagnosed. Props to the doctor.

Voted off last week was Aubrey of the former yellow team. She was up against Ron I think.

This week it was Ron and Nicole. Nicole was a bring back from a voted off contestant, red team. She lost 87lbs at home. She was #2 in the house behind Tara, so big threat.

At the weigh-in she gained 5lbs!

They voted off Nicole.

Felipe, Sione and Helen voted for Ron to send a message that he is next. Ron was mad and called them liars.
Sione said he did not say to Ron he was voting for Nicole.

Helen took great pleasure in writing Ron's name down after Ron dissed her openly in a competition for picking to train with Jillian.

They are individual competing if you did not know that.

They bring back three players that got sent home in the first month. Estelle(white) , Nicole(red) and Dave( orange). They weighted in and Nicole last the most weight at home so she got to come back. She lost 87 pounds.

Anyway they were all at her from the start about game play and she really wasn't ready for that and I think it stressed her out. She had immunity for the first week but last it that because she gained 5 pounds at the weigh in putting her under the yellow line.

Ron was hospitalized with chest pains but it turned out to be bleeding ulcers from his gastric bypass. He was in the hospital for 3 days and was giving lost of fluids and blood. He also fell below the yellow line ....

Nicole went home. Bring Nicole in really freaked the other player out. Nicole was the second in percentage lost . Tara is still first.

Oh yes, I did see them talking to Bob about Ron. I thought "puppetmaster Bob trumps puppetmaster Ron anytime!" I agree that the "light bulb" went off with them and I *know* why they voted for Ron but I don't know what he meant by "lying to your face". One of them said something like "You're going to be OK" and then voted for Ron but I missed the original conversation because of my fast-foreward trigger finger. Did we see that converstation?

No they didn't show that.

Ron said the lying comment with regards to what he told the blue team to do. He told them to vote for Nicole. They decided to send him a message.

Actually last week Aubrey was up against Felipe (or Sione...I get them confussed).

I don't under stand why everyone though Nichole was such a big threat b/c she's down under 180 and really doesn't have that much left to lost.

The purple girl and all the guys still have another 100lbs they could loose for a total of well over 200 and could easily lose more than 60%. Especially the guys b/c guys loose weight so fast. Tara can't even afford to loose that much more weight eigther. The lighter you are in the game the harder it is b/c the weight just doesn't come off as much.

I am liking that all those that "train" with Jullian are still all above the yellow line. Except Tara's partner...but she's the most unstable on that side. Bob's team...try as they may...always seem to be on the lower 1/2 of the totum pool. When Sione and Felipe were training with Jullian they got a taste of what it was like to be at the top...but the minute they left, they lost their edge. Jullian is just a really good trainer.

Oops, my bad. Thanks. I think it was Felipe.

I don't get why they are not dropping more weight?

Something is different.

Not enough butt whooping?

Not enough butt whooping?

And to much Bob Love!

I wondered that too why those guys are not pulling bigger numbers. I was so happy for Mike last night when he got his 11 pound lost. I really like him.

 

[chasbos]

Those guys (Filipe & Sione) are not going to be posting big numbers any more - I do not think anyway.

They are bigger built already and do not look like they have that much more "fat" to lose. They are going to be building muscle (which = weight)

They are not going to weigh less than 200 lbs and they shouldn't either, they would look ridiculous.

Felipe is only 26! (Wow that was an eye opener. Explains the attitude now.) He is 5' 11.

Sione is 28 and 6'.

I loved them only having a few contestants back and not pulling out the inevitable..."you are going home"

I liked Alli better as a host, Michelle kept saying "you guys" and that grates on my nerves.

Nicole is beautiful and the bigger threat...we finally saw them vote the bigger threat off. But Ron so needed to go home...he is just floundering and dead weight.

I think Tara threw the challenge and last week's weigh-in to seem more human and have a smaller target on her back. But she is almost done losing weight so I hope they don't kick her off because I want Nicole to win the at home prize.

Poor Kristen threw herself back under that bus by voting for Ron...she seems to be the least game player of them all (which makes me wonder why she is so attached to Bob) but she is also seems to be the most naive.

Allison is so adorable but I am wondering why she felt the need to come back to work so quickly?

 

[tyedye]

It was weird to see Kristen complaining that Ron is working for Mike. Did she just suddenly realize that?

I think some of the votes were targeted toward the biggest threat, some targeted toward breaking up the teams. There will probably be plenty of chances to vote off Ron. No hurry there.

Ron wants to stay to try to keep Mike there longer. Also there may be no hurry to vote off Ron as he has been below the yellow line more than anyone else, but the longer he stays the more chance he has to make it to the finals. He still does have alot of weight to lose and while he may not be able to workout like the others he does more than he ever did before and has weeks where he is above the line.

So the thought to vote him off later may end up backfiring.

I think that Nicole was put into a very stressful environment as someone who had been home with her own familiar routines and then back at the ranch where everyone was living 24/7 the biggest loser game. That would have been difficult for anyone, but it was unfortunate that she wasn't able to lose a pound and therefore keep her immunity.

I think she came back because there isn't that many more weeks to go and she probably only tapes a few hours a week anyway. She had the baby in January.

I thought Ali couldn't lose much more either when she came back to the ranch... then she turned around and won her season. Also think the cousin still have a bit to lose to. They may be big boned or what ever but I still see fat there.

 

[PigletsPal2]

Late post, but does anyone else wonder who died and left Ron boss? Every week he's first to jump in with "...has got to go home!" Why do the others kowtow to him? I know he wants to keep Mike there (so do I!) but he's mouthing off even if Mike isn't below the yellow line! It may not be the best game play, but I think he's gotta go - just because of the annoyance factor!

sure she had the baby in January....six days before she came back to work...I don't know about anyone else but 6 days after my girls were born I felt like poo and just wanted to spend time with my newborns.

She spends longer on Days than a couple of hours at a time. That is why I was wondering why she felt the need.

I think in Ron's mind he is king...the problem is everybody treated him that way for quite awhile...they've gotten over it, he hasn't.

I knew there was something else I wanted to comment on last night....Jillian was shown whispering for a long time in Helen's ear as she was leaving the weigh-in. I would have loved to known what she had to say.

 

[Nohal]

I think Ron should have gone home this week and they will all regret it eventually. He is only there for Mike and will continue to manipulate the other players to get off the strongest people so that Mike will win. Nicole doesn't have much more weight to lose so I don't think she was much of a threat. Why don't we ever see them working out in the pool? I would like to see Simone or Felipe gone next they really grate on my nerves. What a bunch of babies. I am glad they aren't losing much weight for the commotion they caused over the trainers.

 

[LisaR]

How come Bob had a special workout for just Sione and Kristen? And why didn't Felipe jump up and down, cry and tell Bob that he felt he was being ignored and it just wasn't fair?
