The Biggest Loser: MICHELLE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[disney1990]

How many hours a day do you think they exercise?

Jillian said they have homework daily. So they were supposed to do an additional 90 minutes of cardio that day in addition to the workout she does with them? No one in real life would be able to sustain that, so I just don't think that is right. Just my opinion.

Obviously somebody could do that much. This is season what? Jillian pushes them every season. They are saying the that person that gets voted off tonight is a big shock.

I have been watching since Season 2, so I am well aware that they are pushed. However, in REAL LIFE, you would not be able to sustain daily doing 90 minutes of cardio, then how many more hours of cardio and weights with your trainer, plus work, raising a family, taking care of your house, etc. etc. etc. It just isn't realistic.

Maybe I should have said no one in the real outside world, outside of the Biggest Loser, can sustain those kind of workouts for very long and still function in the real world. Isn't that what the show is all about? Getting healthy and staying healthy with healthy habits? Working out all day long isn't healthy in my opinion and just isn't feasible every day of the week.

I actually wasn't all that shocked. I thought from the beginning that he had an indifferent attitude. He did show more emotion tonight, but at the first weigh in when they fell below the yellow line, he didn't want to talk to anyone or plead his case, etc. His attitude was I did my best and have nothing else to say.

I can't watch it until it shows up online, so I didn't even know there was a second hour tonight. WHO GOT VOTED OFF?????

As far as the exercise, I think it's great that they do so much. It doesn't bother me, there is not one thing about this show that is remotely similar to the real world. But you know what, these people really need it! So if they exercise six hours a day, learn to cook with professional chefs, etc. more power to them. I can take the lessons and apply it to my own life.

Yes, in the real world you are right. I have a hard time some days squeezing in 30 minutes of exercise.

Ed and Heba were below the yellow line, and Ed went home.

When they showed him at the very end after he'd been back home a while, my jaw dropped! He looked so good!!

 

[dbogen]

Does anybody know if the show pays for a personal trainer, or gym membership when they go home. The amount of weight these "voted off" people loose is great, but I don't think they do it alone. 24 hour fitness is a big sponsor for them, so I guess its them???

Yes, I am sure it is 24hr fitness. I think they have a personal trainer at their disposal. How cool is that!

Ed really looked good.

I was really surprised that yellow stayed. I should have known since she went first.

 

[NC State]

See...I think some how the crew knows how much they have lost/gain for the week so then they know who goes first.

 

[dare2dream]

I have heard they actually weigh in earlier on different scales. They do not know their weight at that time and the 'Big' scale is all just for show. I'm sure the order they are weighed in is carefully scripted.

We have already discussed this....you are behind.

They do an official weight-in prior and set it up for dramatic effect....The "scale" that they do on the show is not a scale, just a prop.

So did mine! He looked like a totally new person!
It will be nice when all the couples reunite and see how much weight they all lost.

I must agree Ed looked pretty darn good at the end of the show. Almost cute even. I hope they show when the family member comes home and see them for the first time. I think Heba will be shocked. I do understand why she stayed though since they want kids.

After all that yelling the girls did pretty good.

I think if these people can do this for 6 hours a day when they come home 2 hours or what ever will be a piece of cake for them. It is just a jump start for them, no one excepts them to go home and work out for 6 hours.

this is the first year that ALL of the kicked off contestants get the personal trainer (don't ask me how I know that....it's one of those read it somewhere things)...before now it's just been a membership to 24 Hour fitness.

Really? So the other folks had to pay out of pocket or do it on their own. They did well.

Nice extra perk for the being on the show.

 

[babytrees]

We were not sad to see Heba and Ed on the chopping block but I would have liked for Ed to stay behind...he was the one having trouble losing weight and I liked him better than Heba.

Though we were really rooting for the snot (err...brown) team to be under. Vicky will throw anyone under the bus, even her husband, to win.

I really like Ed and Heba. They seem really nice and funny. I was sad to see Ed go.

I want the Brown team to go next. Or at least her.

It looks like next week is every man for himself so that should be interesting.

Can I ask you all a question....why is there always so much crying on BL...can I please watch one episode where no one is crying...impossible.

That is a nice perk. I thought the 2 that went home lost more then the previous seasons when they got voted off.
There will be some seriuos weight losses come the finale for all of them!

And please can they get Vicky out of there. Although she already told her husband a few weeks ago she's staying over him.

There IS a lot of crying, especially last season with the "band of brothers" or whatever it was the guys team was called.

My personal thinking about all the crying is just that the environment overall is so stressful for everybody. I mean, working out 6 hours a day when these people never worked out before, plus trying to win contests with each other, plus the weekly weigh-in which I'm sure is just full of anxiety and nerves and whatever else. Everybody's emotions are all over the place, they're emotionally and physically exhausted probably all the time. Even the men who say they never show emotion always end up crying.

And still, no matter how much I'm used to everybody crying on the show, I always get all choked up while watching it too.
