Fans of "Biggest Loser" and members of the consultant community who are interested in discussing reality television and its impact on personal motivation and behavior may find this thread engaging.

I was just hoping that Tara didn't vote Filipe off, she seems better/stronger than that.
 
NOOOOOO not Felipe!!! Worst of all Ron is still there??!!!
 
Are you sure that we get to vote them off? Last year it was put to America during the last night. But this time they come back after 30 days.... so with BL twists and turns maybe we don't vote and its just who ever is last is off???
 
I feel sorry for Filipe and Sione. Look at all that fried food they laid out for Filipe's homecoming!!! That is so wrong! I can't believe his family would be so inconsiderate! He is really trying but I wonder if he only had 13 pound lose after going home if he is going to be able to cope! It was good that he was home when his dad had the stroke though. Wonder why they are not going to a gym to work out...Sorry...don't like Tara...don't like Helen...Ron bothers me, but I REALLY want Mike to win. I think this would be the incentive he needs to stay down. I think Ron does get the weight loss stuff. I am looking forward to seeing Max after they have been home with him 30 days!

Habit and ignorance are difficult to overcome. I'm diabetic. I was diagnosed over 15 years ago. Some of my family members still give me candy or baked goods for holidays. I make sure to bring my own food to family get-togethers because often there is nothing at all that I can eat. And, that's with a medical condition that people at least agree needs to be addressed. A need to lose weight gets even less respect--let alone needing to maintain a healthy weight.
 
So....as much as I don't like Ron, I think it's neat to see him finish the marathon.*Clarification- I don't like his style of game-play. :D*

She did it. I'm so proud of Tara. She never once found herself below the yellow line. That's amazing. Gee, with a choice of Mike or Evil Ron to vote out, I wonder who people will vote for.
 
Now....America Votes for the Third player in the finals. Voting starts now and ends at 9:50pm ET on Wednesday may 6th.Go here: Biggest Loser- America Votes

Voting for Ron would keep Mike out and upset all of the underhanded things Ron did, BUT Mike worked hard and does deserve the chance. It SHOULD be a head-to-head challenge between the top-three weightloss contestants and forget about the game-play. So I think I'm voting for Mike, because he is one of the top losers in the game and deserves the chance to take it to the end, in spite of his dad.

Just my humble opinion. :D I still hope at this point, Tara wins.

Oh, I will definitely be voting for Mike. Ron was evil. I think it's ironic (and a bit of a shame) that it came down to the two of them. That's really what Ron's been angling for all along--a chance to sacrifice himself for his son.

Yeah, so at least in his eyes, he comes out the hero.:rolleyes:

I'm so proud of Tara - and glad it wasn't Helen.

At least, in the end, it will (hopefully - assuming Mike wins the vote) be between two people who deserve to be in the top two.
 
Ok...that was a pain. Their voting process sure could have been easier instead of entering my information each and every time! I don't think I voted 10 times, because I lost count. :D

I only voted once. I'm not invested enough in Mike or his dad to vote more than that.

Ha! Wouldn't that just be so funny to stick it to Ron that way! lol I wonder if people really would vote like that. Makes you wish it, but that wouldn't be nice or fair to Mike. (Darn it :cool:) As much as I dislike Ron, his son has worked hard and deserves to be there--stinkyness of game play aside.
 
Did you see Helen's daughter?!?! It doesn't look like she's doing all that great at home....I hope Helen feels guilty. It looks like her daughter needed to stay at the ranch more.
 
Just my $.02 worth, but sometimes kids need to grow up and take responsibility for themselves. I'm wondering if Helen has taken care of her family her whole life to the point of neglecting herself. This could perhaps be the first time that Helen has truly taken care of herself. If so, good for her.
I think our society has become so kid focused that we have lost all balance. Kids are catered to, made to believe they are the center of the universe, and then grow up to be demanding , miserable adults. Kids don't always have to come first, especially grown ones.

You are absolutely right. I guess I never thought of it that way.

I agree with you, Loreo. I've seen too many people raise their children so they believe that the world revolves around them. It's not good for anyone.For me, the Helen issue wasn't that she chose to take care of herself. It was more the way she did it. And, frankly, it's mostly her behavior and comments the rest of the time she was at the ranch. I'm all for women taking care of themselves. I think one of the best things a woman can give her children is a healthy mom. When they see their mom taking care of her physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, it gives them a really good example to follow.
 
I cannot wait until next week.
 
Oh I forgot to mention...did you guys just love the scenes a couple episodes ago where Helen saw her footage from Day 1 and laughed about how crazy her hair was?! It was so funny! I loved when Jillian teased her during training later and messed her hair all up. LOL

I need your help. I have a show scheduled for Tuesday night. I'm taping something else for The Furry Guy, so I'll need a blow-by-blow recap of the finale. TIA!
 
I can try to post 'blow-by-blow' or between me and the few others following the show. :D But you can also watch it online later- if you have a high-speed internet connection. (My Time Warner cable now has Primetime On-Demand too, so I can catch shows after they air that way as well...maybe your provider does- assuming you have such a provider).

Thanks, Bobbi. I have dial-up and little patience, so I won't be able to watch it online.
 
I couldn't remember if you did or not. I'll keep you posted as best I can! :D
 
*** Please vote***** My son has a congential heart defect and the President of our local Chapter of It's My Heart's son has the most deadly defect. His babysitter is a young girl who is overweight and is going to be up for the 16th spot for next season (I don't really watch this) If you watch please vote for her so she doesn't grow into a damaged heart by being overweight! If you watch and would like to help please vote for Amanda Arlauskas. Thank you!
 
Play-by-play. :D
The finalists are all stepping out on stage (dressed up). They'll announce the 3rd finalist in a moment....
 
Oh my! Mike!!
