biggest loser couples

[housetomouse]

I think it's odd that Alison got upset with the contestants for game-play. The show sets up twists all the time to play games with the contestants. Alison is the one who gleefully presents the "game" the show is doing each week to throw the contestants for a loop. Now if she was upset because Kaylee was annoying, that I understand!

I like Alison better than that first girl who had her job, though. Does anyone remember her? She was kind of mean, IIRC.

Caroline Rhea?

 

[housetomouse]

Caroline Rhea?

That sounds right. She was kind of snarky (is that snarky to say?!).

My question is this though....Why is it that since the beginning of the show, all the men have to take off their shirts at the weigh ins. And now that it's almost towards the end, the weigh in with their shirts on? That's always puzzled me. And I never understood why the girls needed to wear spandex shorts while the boys wore lose shorts? And just a sports type bra for the girls, no shirts?

I think the men get covered because their excess skin and moobs start to get to be too much. The women are (usually) smaller to begin with so they tend to firm up instead of droop. The men also look slimmer with their shirts on while the women look slimmer with their shirts off toward the end of the season.

I agree that there's some frustration this season, I just didn't expect that kind of outburst from Allison, the trainers, yes, but not her, just due to her role in the show.

I wonder if they're going to have episodes soon where more than one person leaves...seems like they're just adding people now

I'm not surprised at all. She has gotten a little snippy with people in the past. She may do it more than we know and it's edited out.

They get lose skin so at some point they leave the shirts on and the girls go to tank tops.

I didn't think it was odd at all.
Cariline Rhea was the other host. I alwasy thought it was funny as she was chunky herself.

Ya know, since the beginning I never liked Justin or Rulon. That whole team just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. And even though I'm glad that Justin went home, this week I softened up a little towards him. So maybe like someone else said, maybe it was all the editing that showed him to be an a$$, but this week it seemed like he just stepped up and did what was right.

They wear griddle type thing under those shirts so it can hold in their loose skin they now have. It make them look better and skinner. If you watch closely some times you can see it though the arm holes.

The guys take their shirts off and girls are in sports bras for shock value. I have a love/hate relationship with biggest loser. I like that they are getting people healthy but there are some aspects of the show that I think are bad. One is this aspect. Whether they admit it or not they do it as a modern side show. Look at the fat guy/girl with their shirt off.

The biggest problem I have with the show, and sorry for going OT, is the way they work some of the temptations. These people are supposed to be getting educated on the proper roll of food in their lives and then they have a temptation that rewards bad behavior. Sometimes it is the person who eats the most calories gets to decide something or like a couple of years ago when for each cupcake you eat you add time to another contestant's bike marathon.

In the end a lot of the contestants keep the weight off and the show is good for motivation so I let that override my reservations but there are some days I watch the show and cringe at their tactics.

I too was glad to see Jay back. I love Moses, but can't stand Kaylee and was hoping she would go home although I really don't see her as being ready like she thinks she is. I was glad that Ken did what was best for him and he has nothing to feel badly about.

Major bummed to see Justin go but I would rather him than Courtney. I really was expecting someone from green to go, I saw them as the weakest team once teams were chosen.

 

[kwelch10377]

Tonights episode wasn't that great. The whole 12th team thing seems kind of pointless.

I don't blame Jen for going with not having a trainer. They are going to need to learn how to do this on their own and if they can't by now, I think they are going to have some issues when they go home. I think what sunk both of them was not being focused.

Hannah looks really good, but I think she is reaching the end of her big weight loss numbers and I wouldn't be surprised if she goes home in the next week or two. I like her, but I find her sister really annoying.

just started to watch tonights on dvr... OMG i can't stand the whining this season... I am beginning to miss the backstabbing!! LOL

Yeah where's Vicki when ya need her?

Kae

LOL exactly I hated her... but this whining..

 

[happygirl]

I didn't want Jen to leave I wonder if it had been Bob they would have paid for him to be there since they both really liked him.

I wish Roluno sp? would have went, I can't stand people who cheat and listen to him make excuses.

I really didn't think Olivia prize was much of a prize, who would have wanted that

 

[jenseib]

I am disgusted with Rulon. He is cheating now and thinks he can just talk his way out of it.
Olivias prize was awful. Allison made it sound so good...that everyone would want it...I don't think anyone there would want it.

I think that what is going on with Rulon is actually good for the rest of us. I can SOOOO relate to what he is doing. I have no problem working out. I can spend 2 hours at the gym burning 1000 calories and then I want to come home and eat JUNK. I think that right now, Rulon represents a lot of people who struggle with weight loss. We can control one aspect but we "cheat" on other aspects. If they are truly there to learn, then this is something that he is going to have to learn to overcome. I am interested in how Jillian handles this with him next week.

 

[robinb]

Shoot! I wanted it to be Courtney. Will someone please tell her that raccoon eyes went out in Jr High?

I agree. I also don't think it's really cheating, other than he's cheating himself out of a bigger weight loss. I was also wondering why they even had chips and salsa in such a controlled environment like the ranch.

I like Courtney but I have to say that in the shots last night where she had no eye makeup on she looked so much better! I am hoping they can convert her when they do the makeover show.

Last night was pretty dull. I have to think that the new trainer (I haven't even learned their names!) must be pretty worried having lost 2 weigh ins in a row. And I really can't stand that new female trainer. She has the oddest expressions and always seems to be uneasy.

Did anyone else notice how Bob and Jillian were still kind of working as a team? They were each training the other's contestants.

Yes, why is that stuff even there? I know that they will have to deal with it in the real world but at this point, they are NOT in the real world. That stuff should have never been in the house.

ETA: Am I the only person that thinks Bret and Cara look like brother/sister?

Bret and Cara - those are their names, thanks! And yes they do look like they could be related.
