Last night I finally had the chance to watch the last couple of episodes of the Biggest Loser Couples that I missed while on vacation. It was an exhausting process watching TV for over three hours but a lot sure happened.

I was having fun watching all of the old people that have been kicked out weigh in again, it looks like they all have lost weight. I was most surprised at the old guy, Lynn, that left the first week saying that he was not really able to do it,  but now at home he was able to lose over 50 pounds. Neil also lost 50+ pounds but I have to wonder how the relationship between him and Amanda is, every time the camera panned over to her she would look down. I remember that Amanda was working really hard and Neil was always whining about how hard the workouts were so I can imagine that eating and workouts for a couple like this that are not very aligned may be tough in the house. Even bald Paul lost a lot of weight after struggling the last couple of weeks on the ranch. Read the rest of this entry »

Well the Blue team won the weigh in last week and they got a weekend trip to las Vegas which led to some trouble lots of fun and a losing weigh in.

There were two uncomfortable times in the show last night, first there was Dan the young 21 year old with long blond hair strumming on a guitar and singing. First of all I only think of Dan as the guy that is losing weight, not as a young Bob Dylan. Anyway the trip to Las Vegas was great and was fun to watch, except first, I can’t believe Dan and Roger going out until 6 o’clock in the morning. Wow, the ranch must really be weighing on them to stay our soooo late. The trip looked like fun though. Second, I still can not believe that the guys all got tattoos. And third I was shocked that Dan did not work out at all but still lost the most out of anyone on his team. Read the rest of this entry »

I always lose track of the episodes as the Biggest Loser season goes on. I finally got to watch last night and wow there was lots of drama. Bob kicked Jillians but in the reverse stair climbing contest. Jillian teared up as Bob picked teams and there was another wrigleys gum product placement.

Anyway they really seemed to pack a lot into this latest episode. The 8 teams are now just 2 teams. The Blue team was chosen by Bob Harper after winning a reverse escalator challenge and the black team were the four teams left over for Jillian. It seemed a little unfair the way he teams were picked. Maybe the producers of the show want Bill to win this season but we all know by now how the Biggest Loser picks a winner, based on percentage weight loss. The fatter you start the higher the percentage weight loss at the end when you are skinny. Bob of course picked the heaviest teams. Read the rest of this entry »

Poor Bob Harper, I remember when Biggest Loser first started he was everyones favorite trainer. Bob always wants to be friends with the contestents, he cares how they feel and most of all Bob really wants to see everyone do well and feels hurt himself when people struggle with weight loss.

Well this year it looks like the tables have turned. Although the Biggest Loser couples would not have seen this last season when Bobs team did not do well for the first time since the Biggest Loser started but the producers of the Biggest Loser moved even farther into showing Bob Harper teaching the crew about Yoga and meditation. . Bob says that once you are in control of your mind then you will be able to lose the weight. I totally agree with Bob but it seems this seasons team has had a bit of a shift in focus. Everyone wanted to train with mean old Jillian. Read the rest of this entry »

I finally watched last nights Biggest Loser tonight. Wow I think this is the best season yet. The show is so much more emotional with family members, couples, friends and in general people that have loved ones and have also left loved ones at home.

Often we look at the Biggest Loser as people turning their lives around but in this episode I really got the sense the these people are in a race to save their lives. The reward challenge gave four teams the opportunity to call home and my wife cried through the whole segment of people calling home.

The strange and irritating part of the show happened tonight. The food challenge. Whoever thought of this idea was sick and twisted and can not be part of the show but let’s set the stage. Everyone is craving bad food and know why they are not eating it. The show assembles every bad food that the people would like to have and then tells them that whoever eats the most will get $5,000. It is hard to turn down that much money and why should you get a reward for eating food that is obviously bad? I haven’t been able to figure this out since they first did it in the Biggest Loser Season 1 and they have continued it every season since then.

The brown team tonight was kicked out and it was very sad. As I said before the show is very emotional this season and everyone really and truly felt bad for kicking out the team that is really nice, fighting hard and still struggling over the team that has a guy who’s previous three generations of his family have died by 51. Man that was a tough call and everyone really felt it.

One of the guys, Neill, (what is with Neils on this show) was really showing how lazy overweight people can be. We all know that some people are lazy and get fat that way but lots of thin people are lazy too so let’s not bother with the stereotypes here. The fact is Neill has apparently failed aat almost everything that he has done so it is really hard for him to give it his all when his reflex says

“Take it easy and then you will have an easy excuse for failure”

He confronts it and loses pretty good tonight.

The weight losses for many of the people were bad and so it usually is on the second week of the show, the water weight goes in the first week and then the muscle is being gained as quickly as the fat is going in the second week so we should all expect that.

I can’t wait for next week.
