~ BIGGEST LOSER ~ 9 ~ COUPLES ~ SPOILERS welcome!!!

I think the red team girl (can't remember her name) is going to be the player here. She already seems to be sneaky and in game mode.

Sneaky? I would say she is smart. You would be stupid not to take advantage of a week 2 immunity.

I do like Michael. He may be a mama's boy, but his heart is in the right place. I got a kick out of Bob calling out the Red team on water loading. He hates game players!

 

[marypoppinswannabe]

I have been watching it and it doesn't seem to have the same flair that it has had in other seasons...

However, I will continue to watch it because, in my opinion, it is one of the few shows that is truly inspirational.

 

[Mermaid02]

I fell asleep but I think I can watch it "On Demand" as soon as tomorrow. I really like it.... I did see the part where the doc told the pink girl she had diabetes..... that ought to be something to open her eyes!

...but who knows who did enough to get both of the trainers so mad.

I may be wrong on this but ... in the previews they had someone female whining about whating to go home (couldn't see who). Then they inply that someone gains and you have Bob and Jillian about "you dit it on purpose" or something close to that. That leads me to believe (assume???) that whoever wanted to go home deliberately waterlogged/gained so their team would be up and she could be voted out.

I think it was the younger one on the green team that wanted to go home. I don't think they are talking about the same person because I am sure they can leave when ever they want, no need to stay for the weigh in. My guess it was the person that got immunity this time round.

I love how Bob , Jillian and Ali said something about the water logging. This time the girl in red smiled the whole time she was up there . All the other years they tried to look upset and said I don't know what happened.

I was going to say the exact same thing that NAB said!

I saw this show for the first time last night. It was like watching a train wreck! I was repulsed, disgusted, yet facsinated at the same time. These people are being humiliated on national TV & they agree to it?

the man & woman who yell & scream at them are so over the top with their egos. did either of them ever look in a mirror? They fancy themselves as experts in obesity, where did they ever get that idea?

I sincerely hope that none of the people wind up with a medical problem from the extreme excercising. It was pathetic to watch. I won't watch again.

I got the impression that it is going to be the red team getting yelled at again next week. They showed the magic 214 number (which would be consistent with red wife's number). I am guessing they win immunity again and she continues to waterload and yet not admit it like Bob begged her to last night.

Also, I was a little bit disappointed with the purple mom's progress at home. Her goal was to get her diabetes under control by the finale (which is a GREAT goal) but I wish she would also set a weight goal to go with it. 200 pounds is still to big for a woman of her height/build.

I agree. She lost less than 20 pounds since being home, while James and lost 77 lbs at home so far.

At least she got rid of her gut. She looked pregnant!

Sorry, you don't get it. The man & woman that yell are Bob and Jillian and are very well known trainers. They have, over the course of this show, literally saved people's lives. They know just what to say to somebody to make them understand what they are doing wrong.

I loved Jillian bonding last night with the Mom on the white team. You could see how much she wanted to teach her to overcome her fears.

If the red team wins immunity gain and gains again, I expect Bob and Jillian to be so upset. The game is not to stay on the show as long as you can, but to lose weight. People all across the country would love to be able to just get on the show so that somebody could help them get their lives back. I think that the Red team is going to end up being the despised team this season -- just a hunch. Just wait until they bring on those "you have to eat this" challenges.

Didn't it use to be that, if you gained weight, that you lost your immunity? Why do I think that was the case? Anybody?

I agree that the Patti on the Purple team should have lost more weight by now even at home. She talked like she was doing everything at home that she should be doing, but the numbers don't show that.

 

[NAB]

No it is still there could tell when she had the black dress on...and it looked like she was pregnant because she is apple shaped. Most woman on the show carry all there weight on there bottom half like pear.

This is my shape and that is why I can not wear those cute baby doll type shirts or high empire one. You look pregnant.

I thought she should have lost more too...maybe it is her hormones. Her face looks like she shaves it to get rid of hair maybe ?

 

[robinb]

I think you still do, but THE TEAM still lost weight.

Back in the last Couples season Nicole came back in week 12 when she won the "at home players" weigh-in after losing 69 pounds. She got immunity in week 13 but GAINED 5 pounds and lost it and was voted out.

 

[princessbride6205]

None of the teams were really standing out to me yet, but I did feel a kind of connection with the red team. But I won't be a fan so much if they are all about game play next week as well.

What is water-logging? Do they just drink a ton of water right before the weigh in?

Did you guys notice the zero gravity treadmill next to the regular treadmills? I was curious so I did an internet search. It works like being in a pool, supporting part of a person's weight, so it is easier on the joints. Now I want to see them use it! Here is a link to the one they have on the show: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/10/zero-gravity-treadmill-like-running-in-space/

I said the same thing to DH, but I think because the team lost, they weren't actually gaining and so it was a loop hole there.

I thought the purple mom still had her big gut too, Not As big, but big. And I know some people have apple shapes, but that was not just apple, it was really big and round, and very unusual. I figured there had to be something else wrong that we don't know about.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I think my favorites are orange, white and black. I still haven't been able to peg one team as being the biggest challenge yet. The big guy teams don't seem to be losing that much, and the people who win a challenge one week don't follow up the next.

 

[jenseib]

The red girl is definately playing the game

 

[Kae]

The red girl is definately playing the game

Did anyone notice the poor editing tonight when the orange team was weighing in? They showed Ally in a green dress with her hair up at one point when she was actually wearing black and had her hair down. I knew they did some major editing with the contestants but I didn't think they had to edit Ally.
