biggest loser couples

[Kasmooth]

I think it's funny that Bob and Jillian are always saying you are this way because you don't put yourself first. I guess unless they think someone else is more deserving then you.
They all want to be there it's not the worlds fault Arthur (who threw Jen and Jay away) is heavier then the rest.

I know this show is about the money. However, I am so pissed off at the red team voting off Athur. He NEEDED to be there. He has lost so much weight but is still the biggest contestent. The Biggest Loser is FOR people like him. I really hoped Jillian and Bob's plea had registered with the Red Team. Kaylee should have went home, IMO. I am so pissed off at that show right now. (I am so glad he is doing well at home and hope he kicks *** and wins the At Home prize.)

I hope the Black Team wins all of the rest of the team challenges and makes the Red people send their people home. Then I hope they black team gets rid of Sarah. But I think Marci is the one that is ready to go home.

I, too, shed a tear last night.

Grrrrrrrrrr

I really hope that no one on the red team wins this competition!!! They are a selfish lot who didn't vote off the least effective player.

I'm also really hoping the black team gets rid of Sarah

 

[DianeV]

I am NOT happy with Sarah. She knew what would happen and she would have been fine on either team

As far as Arthur being sent home. Shame on the red team. Kaylee lost 1 lb in 2 weeks and is the lightest on their team. She could have volunteered to go home and she would have been totally fine. 2 others only lost 5lbs in 2 weeks and Arthur lost 16 and still had to go home.

I dont care about karma or turnabout or anything. Arthur has changed since the beginning and he needed to be there. He worked hard and lost alot of weight at home and some didnt lose hardly anything

"Family" thing is fine but think about the welfare of someone who really needs to be there. That is what bugged me

 

[Guy Incognito]

if it was just about weight loss, then no one would ever be sent home. They'd all remain there for the entire length of the show.


unfortunately, it is a game (with a lot of $$$ on the line), so it only makes sense to get rid of someone who has the potential to lose the most weight and win it all.... add to that any alliances that have formed, and it only makes the decision easier.

you might see people volunteering to go home early on, but once you get deeper into the game, why would anyone in their right mind volunteer to walk away from the chance to win $250K? While the one girl left on the red team might be the smallest and "not really need to be there", I'd bet that she's one of the last left to go (if she doesn't make it to the final 3), 'cause they'll vote off the biggest guys first to clear out the main competition.

I just caught up with a bunch of episodes of Biggest Loser. O-M-G. What a bunch of SNOWFLAKES. I don't believe how readily the little girls on the black team threw the parents under the bus each and every chance they got. I also couldn't believe how all three parents threw the weigh-in and the snowflake girls were able to pick off two of the low hanging fruit on that one episode. The last one, Marci, would have gone home last week but she was the biggest loser for the week. So, instead she threw herself on the sword this week and all but one of the contestants was perfectly ready to let her do it. You gotta know that Ken and Moses are not going to do that for anyone but their own kid.

The is not a single person I like in the show. Each and every one of them annoys me in some way. Well ... maybe I like Austin. But that's it! I hate the former black team for expecting the parents to go home for them. I hate the former red team for actively picking off anyone who wasn't an original "unknown" ... including Arthur who (while he was a game-player) needed to be at the ranch more than anyone else on the who darn show.

I expect Rulon and Justin to steamroller over everyone else to the finish.

Robin, Marci met her goal weight on the ranch. There wasn't anything else left to give. If I were on that show with my daughter and I had reached my goal I definitely would have gone home to save her and everyone else that needed to be there.
I don't see it as the kids throwing the parents under the bus, I see it as the parents sacrificing themselves for their children. Do I think it's alway the right thing to do? No, but in Marci's case they made the right choice.

I've actually enjoyed this season more then others because there hasn't been much game play, I think the ones that are there now are in it for the right reasons. Don and Dan did tick me off though, 1000's of people would have killed to be in their place and they blew the opportunity given to them.

Kaylee weighed 176 lbs, just a few pounds more than Marci. She didn't "deserve" to be there any more than Marci did. And in week 9 when both Jesse and Deni went home, those girls dogged it! The lost so little and then the ALL put up big double digit numbers two weeks later. They KNEW that Deni and Marci were going to throw the weigh-in so the little snowflakes wouldn't be below the red line. That made me very mad. And you know ... if Jesse didn't throw it too he would have been there the NEXT week when his son needed him to protect him and Arthur would still be on the ranch.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I don't think Kaylee "gets it" though. I really don't think she's had that mental breakthrough that Marci had.
I do think Jesse should have stayed, most definitely. But I think he checked out.

I will say that I'm not a fan of throwing weigh ins, but I see why the parents did it. Sarah and Denni didn't seem right with the falling on the sword but I get why Marci and Jesse did it, it was to get their kids the help they really really needed.

 

[simba20]

What I don't get is HOW they can throw a weigh-in....I mean, put up such a low number....lose only 1 lbs or 2 for the week...or none?

From what I understand, the reason why these contestants have such big numbers is because all they do at the ranch is workout several hours a day. I know those that stayed at the house had to cook their own meals, but when I saw the portion that two of the ladies were showing one of the new trainers, I had to ask "Is that a snack?" So they eat considerably small meals and workout several hours a day, so HOW on earth can they only have lost one pound at the weigh-in or even none.

I mean, we've never seen an episode where Bob and Jillian are in the gym asking "Where is soandso?" because so and so decided to skip out on a workout, I'm pretty sure that they can't skip out on workouts, and the food seems so controlled so I doubt someone is chomping down on a secret stash in their room.

So, are they wearing weights in their underwear on weigh-ins or what?

*and yes, I understand that eventually weight loss slows down or that when one has a big loss one week the body gets out of whack and can slow things down for the next, but it seems to me that if somebody had a 10lbs weight loss one week, to have) or 1 the following week, something is really out of whack and how are they getting away with it.

**also MTV aired a show starting back in January called "I Used to Be Fat" which followed teenagers as they tried to lose weight over a summer before they went off to college. Some of the kids had goals like "lose 90lbs in 100 days" and some reached their goals. They, too, worked out like crazy. I know one girl had her friends drop by and she said to them "I never get to see you guys anymore, because I am working out for like 5 or 6 hours a day."

Yeah, I'd definitely reach my goal too if I had 5/6 hours to do nothign but workout.

 

[robinb]

For small weight gains or low weight losses, they drink a LOT of water before the weigh in. One of the rules for people who get immunity in advance of the weight in is that they can't GAIN weight or they lose their immunity.

 

[ChrisFL]

A couple of thoughts...first, from the episode where they all went home, I can't believe how stupid Austin's friends were, buying him a big cheesecake for his birthday...tsk tsk

Besides that, I think Bob and Jillian are much better at the psychology breakthroughs than the new trainers, but they've been there much longer.

I hope Irene wins, she seems like a nice girl, always pretty quiet and she's starting to look really good

 

[happygirl]

Kaylee isn't the same place Marci is, Marci was ready she knows how to take care of herself now. Kaylee is still struggling with weight loss.

I hope and pray Arthur is the one who gets to come back he should have never left he needs more help then any of the others

 

[Mowerinthetree]

Does anyone know what the time delay on the show is? When was it filmed? There is enough time for a significant amount of extra weight loss when they show the contestants at home. I am wondering, because I saw Kaylee on Saturday. I live in the college town where she goes to school. The semester started in January, so either the show was over by then or she was voted off by then. I didn't really talk to her besides, "hi, I'm a fan" and "you're looking really good." I was a little star-struck. Besides, I was selling girl scout cookies and didn't want to be a bad influence on her. I thought it was very cool to see her!

Oh, my opinion, Marci was at her goal weight and even when they showed her at home was still at the same weight, she doesn't want to lose more, therefore it was time for her to go home. I don't think it was sacrificing this time. The doctor had adjusted her program to maintenance rather than weight loss and she maintained. Courtney will do fine without her mom there.

I think they are ahead about 6-8 weeks.

whooooaaa, what an episode!!

Allison seemed a bit upset "you're not a prisoner here!"


And bringing a brand new team next week? geez

I missed the preview about next week. What is this about bringing in a new team.

I don't blame Allison for being upset. I don't remember any other seasons that I have watched where contestants were throwing the weighins this much to go home. I know it has happened before, but it seems like it is happening each week this season. I think she is just getting fed up with it.

Yeah, I only watched last season and this season, but a lot of bad weigh ins this season!!

Yes, they said there was one team who applied to be on the show but didn't make it before, they're being added as the white team next week apparently...I think it's unfair so far into the competition to add a new team, depending on how it's being done.

 

[Grandmouse]

I truly hope Kaylee gets to go home next week. I never expected it to be down to Justin or Courtney. With them on the new red team with Jen, I thought what a power team they would be. Never expected it to one of them to go. Happy to see Jay back.

 

[disneychic2]

Jumping in if you don't mind.

I was glad to see Jay come back also. It was because of what Arthur selfishly did that sent Jay home too early. If Arthur had kept the teams just as they were instead of trying to game play, he would still be on the ranch. I'm glad they didn't bring him back. His at home picture looked like he was doing great at home, so all is well.

I wonder what's up with Rulen. He should still be putting up double digits, or at least better numbers since he has so much to lose and is working so hard. Previews showed him secretly eating and saying he wants to quit, but they kinda do what the tabloids do and take something out of context to pique our interest.

I'm really enjoying the comradery between the contestants this year.

She can go now and should take her father they are wasting the trainers time that could be spent with others. I understand it is hard and I think Austin and Ken did them self a disservice by trying to go with her plan.
