Biggest Loser Tv Show - Current Season

[raebates]

I think they have health issues that prevent them from doing some things.

 

[raebates]

Mike's was the only trainer choice that surprised me. I was also a bit surprised at his dad's response to Mike's choice.

 

[StacieB]

Ok missed most of tonight because of a show. Why are they all back in their colors?

 

[chefann]

They're all individual now. So even though some have someone else in the same color, it's every person for themselves.

Did they vote someone off last night? I've been turning the TV off at 10:00 so I missed the ending.

By the way, I don't really like Mike's dad (or at least the way the portray him). I hope he was voted off. Mike is really just a kid (and such a sweetie) so I completely understand why he made his choice that way. I'm glad he ended up with Jillian. I don't watch this show on a regular basis so I didn't know her track record of winners . . . I think she will give him the edge.

Anyone else find Phillip (I'm not sure that's his name) to be REALLY annoying?!

1. Aubrey was voted off

2. I like Mike, but don't care for his dad either.

3. I find Filipe very annoying.

Thank you, Becky.

Hmmm. Aubrey. I guess she probably is a threat.

Oh, did any of the women hit the 100lb level?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Yes....the daughter...I can't remember her name, but her mom was sent home last week. She lost 8 lbs - put her at 103 lbs lost!And it came down to Aubrey or Filipe - so I was sort of disappointed it was Aubrey who went home.

 

[chefjeanine]

Yippee! I was hoping she would be the first one to the 100lbs. And an 8lb loss, that's amazing!

 

[amy07]

I KNEW I could come on here to get the scoop - I fell asleep on the couch watching last night! Thanks for the updates!

 

[raebates]

I liked Filipe until the last few episodes. I think Mike made a good choice. I was simply surprised because he had to know that his dad would stay with Bob. I thought his choice was well thought out. His dad's comment about him being 18 and making dumb choices was just rude.I didn't care for Aubrey. In my opinion she spent a lot of time whining and using her kids as leverage to stay in the game. She clearly didn't understand why Tara was upset. And, of all people to sit down and try to talk to her, Aubrey was the last person who should have attempted to get her to talk. That said, I like what she had to say about what happened once she got home. I think that so often people get off track and give up. (Amy, she gained back 9 pounds in just a few weeks, but then got back on track and took off even more weight.) She showed how easy it is to backslide, but it's possible to get back on track.

I liked Filipe until the last few episodes.

i agree. ever since he & sione had to start training with jillian ive been annoyed by them. helen annoys me too. she has the attitude of a teenager. and every other parent there would drop out of the competition before letting their child go home. but not her - seems like she gladly let her daughter (shanon) jump in front of the bus a few episodes back.

i love mike. & i love kristin too.
& i was soo excited to see tara win that challenge!

right now i just want it to be the finale so i can see how daniel did. he was always my favorite.

 

[raebates]

I liked Daniel a lot. I hope he's doing well at home.I inferred from the previews for next week that the eliminated contestants will be back. I'm looking forward to that.I don't think I've ever been so happy to see someone win a challenge as I was Tara in last night's episode. I think because she's done so well and seems so confident, people don't realize how sensitive she is. Helen throws me. We're the same age. I think she looks older, but behaves very immaturely. Then again, that's just my perception. Maybe I look older than I think I do and act more immaturely than I'm aware.

 

[thecougchef]

oh i forgot about the players coming back. pleeeeease let daniel win whatever he needs to win to have him back!

I agree - not about you - you are a paragon of wisdom and youth, combined.

But about Helen...she does behave immaturely. (and look older. Someone needs to tell her that long bleached hair doesn't make a woman of a certain age look younger.)

 

[raebates]

Thanks, Becky. I feel obligated to warn you, however, that Proverbs 21:8 is pretty clear about what happens to people who tell lies. And, yeah, long, over-bleached hair is not a friend of the middle-aged woman.

 

[babywings76]

I wonder if she makes it to the makeover stage, what the hairdressers will do for her.

 

[raebates]

Just about anything would be an improvement. I didn't realize they do makeovers. This is my first time watching the series. That's cool.

 

[pcchefjane]

Aubrey got to stay only because Mandy asked everyone to vote for her instead. To me, Aubrey went home and went back into her same habits. I know she has 5 kids but most gyms do offer free childcare! She only has lost 10 more pounds since going home and others have lost much more in the time between going home and having the weight they lost flashed up. She is not a single mom though as someone said. Her hubby is very supportive of her. I feel like she, Mandy, and her dad need to do some serious weight loss together! Look how far Mandy has come and look also at Cathy and her other two daughters! I don't like Tara... I think she is a big baby about so much and that really turns me off! This is my first season watching Biggest Loser and sometimes it really gets to me. I am 300+ right now and with my back problems, can't do a whole lot. I admire any of them who are willing to spend all that time away from their families... I can't imagine the ones who have children going through that!It would be fun if Daniel got to come back on the Show till the end. They showed his "after" and he had lost over 100 pounds! I think it would be a tough choice between him and Mike though!

 

[raebates]

I'm not an Aubrey fan, but remember that time is compressed for those of us watching. There was less time from leaving to the update for Aubrey than for someone who left early. I think she has gotten back on track after a bit of backsliding.

Didn't she say she'd messed up when she got home, but now has gotten back on track?

 

[raebates]

Yes, she did. Of course, saying it and doing it are two different things. Since she lost the weight she'd regained plus another several pounds, it sounds like she really is back on track.

 

[raebates]

Okay, I'm so over Ron. He should have been the one to leave this week. The poor woman who came back deserved to have a chance. She was gone through no fault of her own. She did an amazing job at home. The upset in routine and added stress at the ranch could easily account for the 5 pounds. It was wrong to send her home.

 

[KellyTheChef]

I agree with you Rae! I want to see Ron get healthy...but something about him bugs me. I feel bad that he has so many physical "hits" against him, but the rest of the group are able to compete and don't have that sympathy card to play. I really like his son, though, and think that they (his parents) have raised an empathetic and caring young man. When he gave his prize away (to Aubrey? not sure what sister) I was blown away.

 

[krzymomof4]

I like Ron, but only because of Mike.

 

[pcchefjane]

I love Ron but think after this latest health scare, he should have gone home. Our DVRs both messed up and didn't record Tuesdays but we "watched/read" the synopsis! The lady who returned was way too big a threat to Tara, Helen, Kristen to stay....

 

[raebates]

Sure, I understand it from a game-playing perspective, except for one thing. You know that Mike and Ron will always have one another's vote. Ron is an easy below-the-line bet, but that alliance is unbreakable.

 

[chefann]

Darn. I missed it this week. Where was I Tuesday night?This is something DH and I noticed several weeks ago, and someone else apparently did, too.

LOL Ann!!!

The one thing I noticed about this season that's different about previous seasons, is that on previous seasons, they always managed to "evict" the biggest threat in the game. This season, they always seem to go by "who needs to be here more" and keep them....or volunteer to go home because "someone else needs to be here more than me". I find this season's group to be much more caring and loving towards one another than in previous seasons which always seemed to be more cut-throat. I really felt bad for Nicole, I think she did a great job, but it goes back to the "who needs to be here more?" theory.

 

[raebates]

That's a little scary, Ann.
