who is your favorite on this season of the biggest loser?

I like most of the players right now, including Shay.

The only person that I do not care for is Tracy. She has done some hurtful things to the players. Their silence at the weigh-in is more telling to me than the crappy editing to make people look awful.

You don't think they cut it out, do you? I wonder if BL is that evil.

I like Rudy. He has a good attitude, is losing weight, and has beautiful eyes! He just seems like a kind man.

I thought it was last week he lost zero, but I could be wrong. I'm getting my weeks messed up.

Two weeks ago he lost zero. Last week he lost 10.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

I don't have a favorite yet. But I know I don't like Tracey and Shay.

 

[KAMLEM]

Thought it was funny we didn't get to see Bob and Jillian reaction to who left the week before. I really wanted to see Jillian face when she saw Tracey and not Mo.

They also didn't show their reactions to the black team going home for the week. I wonder why they cut these things out, it certainly can't be due to time constraints. This show just drags on and on sometimes. I always tape it so I can fast forward through all the boring parts.

Still don't know how Daniel gained that pound and last week he didn't lose anything. He hit a plateau maybe. He looked like he was working hard.

Maybe he did hit a platuea, he has been losing weight for a lot longer than everyone else.

Oh and going home or not I still think Shay should have lost more than 5lbs. Shay weighs well over 200lbs more than me and I lost 6lbs this week.

Did you lose 16 pounds last week, though? Losing 5 lbs. being at home the week after losing 16 pounds is nothing to sneeze at.

ITA with everything you've said!

I finally got caught up on this thread and the show! I've been recording it and was a couple of episodes behind.

I'm with most of you on the outrage towards Tracy... not so much because she IS playing the game, but because of her phony tears and attitude. I'm also no real fan of Shay. She's so quick to throw people under the bus and criticize when she should just be worrying about herself. Until they told us her age, I thought she was really young, maybe a teen.

My favorites so far have to be Abby, Danny and Liz.

I had forgotten Shay lost 16 last week, I apologize. Other than last week her loss has not been extraordinary at all IMO, this chick weighed close to 500lbs! She is also the first to talk smack about other people not doing what they're supposed to be doing when she should really be worrying about herself because she has such a long way to go. I also thought she was 18-20 yrs old when the show first aired, I was very shocked to find out she is my age, married with step kids.

my fave this season is Rudy, I liked Dina and Mo too but they're gone. I like Rebecca too. I definitely do not like Tracey with her crazy eyes and over the top emotions.

I truly do not think that Shay understand the concept of "percentage of body weight." She sees a lighter girl lose 4 pounds, and she loses 5 pounds and thinks she did better than them! I think her story is terribly sad, but I just do not like her.

Mo was my favorite, but now I like Rudy.

How old is she?

 

[chirurgeon]

I don't know who I like yet. I have been wondering about Shay's low weight loss. I am wondering if she has some underlying problem that hasn't been diagnosed. I remember 2 or 3 seasons ago there was one girl who they finally diagnosed with a thyroid problem late in the show for her. You would think that would be a test they would run for everyone on the show.

she was diagnosed with a problem AFTER she left the show...it was something that a simple test couldn't detect...not a "normal" problem (it wasn't hypo/hyperthyroidism)

 

[MushyMushy]

Shay is early 30s. She's so childish and I'm sure it's because of the difficult life she has led.

 

[Eeyores Butterfly]

I'm sure most of Shay's problems stem from her background. Kids who go through the system and/or grow up with parents with addictions often do not have the same maturity or emotional resources as those who do not have those experiences. They don't have good role models to teach them how to handle those feelings. I have a feeling Shay has also gotten used to being the victim, that learned helplessness. I see that a lot in the kids I teach (special ed.) They are so used to hearing/believing they can't do something, that they don't even try because they honestly believe they cannot.

Unfortunately, people who grow up in the kind of envrionment Shay did often do not have positive outcomes. I try to cut Shay some slack. I had a best friend growing up who went through the foster system, and I got to see first hand the impact that had on her.

I was so exited when Derek Jeter was on the show tonight! And I was excited the black team finally won a challenge.

 

[Eeyores Butterfly]

Wow, Jillian is really breaking her team down this week.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Interesting show. I had to yell the TV at Liz for ragging on the black team voting off Dina when she did not have the nerve to put Tracy's name on the ballot.

Damn their editing. You know they did that just to get us and it works.
