Biggest Loser show chit-chat

[LuvBaloo]

Thanks for sharing that link, Maria!
I think its great to see how much more self-confidence Shay has.
I think she is very lucky that she is able to put that amount of time into exercising and has had 6 trainers volunteer to work with her.

I don't really have a favourite yet in this challenge. There's nobody that I am really rooting for. I'm curious to see if they bring the redline back again, or if it was just a one-shot thing to catch up from the episode where nobody left.

Umm, it was actually Corinna who posted the link. I am not that talented...

I think I like Rudy and Danny best right now, but of course that could change from week to week. The only one I really have an aversion for is Liz. There's just something about her that rubs me the wrong way.

I guess I am in a minority of liking the red line. I could easily do without the drama of the eliminations and the crying and the reasons they give..

I liked the idea of the red line too, but they would have to cut the show down by 30 minutes if they got rid of the "i voted for this person" boo-hooing at the end.

Maybe they will do that in the future-whoever is below the red line leaves, no more elimination room. That would make it interesting for sure.

I don't think it will happen. They are looking for drama and drama is created by interpersonal relations. They won't eliminate the elimination room! At least that is my take on it. I was happy with the outcome of the red line but don't think I would always be happy with it so I hope they don't continue it on a regular basis.

oops! Scrolling too fast and I blurred it all together.
Thanks Corinna!


I don't like the pound advantages - I think it would be better if they made them a 0.25% advantage or something. The one pound is a much bigger advantage for a smaller person than it is for the larger people, so its not an equal reward.

JoanneNC - you do make a good point about less drama and crying with the red line. I did like that the Daniel got to say goodbye to the trainers since he was leaving right away.

I'm afraid if we lost the drama and sobbing in the elimination room that they would replace it with more grunting, groaning and barfing in the workout room.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't love the "reasons why I'm sending you home" section. I wish they'd spend more time giving exercise and nutrition tips, and less on the drama. But, I guess they have to keep people watching...I kind of like the red line. I'd like it if they applied it earlier in the Challenge, and you never knew when it might pop up. That would be mentally challenging for the contestants.

So does everyone get a makeover or just the folks who are left?

Just the 6 who were left.

 

[lisah0711]

Just the 6 who were left.

Well, that would be good incentive to try and hang on until you got a makeover! I'll be interested to see what they do with Liz since we are the same age -- I don't have as much gray hair as she does, though.

 

[NancyIL]

Guess I'd better not tell you Pacific time folks who was eliminated!

I don't mind. Why do you think I read this thread on the night of the show?

You'll just have to watch it!

 

[lisah0711]

Phooey! That will be tonight.

Hey, did you all rush out and get your ziploc evolve bags? I've heard they have less plastic and are great for the environment, plus they are a great way to carry your snacks to the gym

I'll pick mine up when I go get my gum and Larabars on my way to 24 hour Fitness . . .

I'll be enjoying my snacks while I take a break from The Biggest Loser Wii Fit game. Since I want to recover quickly, I'm going to use The Biggest Loser Protein Powder. That will allow me to feel full, and help my muscles to recuperate.

I didn't notice any gum chewing last night!

I will say that the eliminated player looked mahvelous on Leno!

I heard they are made with 50% wind power! I'm going to get some after I go to Subway.

I am so glad she shaved Rudy - I like beards but not his. But I couldn't believe the direction they went with Danny - he looked 12! I expected more of a rocker look on him rather than the argyle schoolboy look. I guess you just never know.

Can you believe I dozed off during weigh in? Must be all that soothing beep...beep...beep. Time to go catch up while I fold the laundry!
