So the season is underway with the classic long 2 hours of TV that we are used to. Shouldn’t they make the show shorter so that people can get their exercise?

Anyway they had a bit of an intro of each of the people and then the first challenge was running a mile to see who would start with immunity, not good for a couple of people as Moe and Tracy had to be arilifted to the hospital.

There are real gut wrenching stories as I was saying in my last post but all of these people realize that this is a real final chance for them to make a change to live a healthy and longer life. Read the rest of this entry »

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.

The second half of this weeks Biggest Loser Couples was on a couple of days ago. I haven’t written much about the Biggest Loser this season but tonight really was an interesting episode.

In the first half that took place the night before, the teams had a challenge where they had to lie in mud and then stand up and touch a Biggest Loser tag hanging above their head. Oh, and they had to do this 100 times as fast as they could. In the end this was just a way to pick teams so that we would have our final blue vs black teams.

Just as in past seasons Bob Harpers team is the blue team and Jillian Micheals team is the black team.  Jillian was shocked at the changes to the team and called it that Bob was going to be heartbroken, the teams are not completely different then they were for the trainers and everyone has trouble adjusting.

I know that all this season we have been seeing ads along the bottom of the screen during the Biggest Loser Couples that they are looking for more people for next season of the Biggest Loser and now NBC finally announced that we will get another series of the Biggest Loser families edition.

NBC has announced The Biggest Loser: Families — the reality weight-loss series’ sixth-season — will be part of the network’s Fall 2008 primetime programming schedule with 90-minute episodes airing in the Tuesdays at 8PM ET/PT time slot.

The Fall 2008 installment of the Biggest Loser will be a “family edition” featuring teams consisting of two family members each, with the minimum age requirement being 18-years-old. Read the rest of this entry »

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 »

The second episode for the Biggest Loser this season was a two hour episode just like the first episode was. We get a bit of a recap and then watched as the two main teams worked out and the Black Team headed by Jillian Michaels had their first weight in. These guys are all working out really hard and in fine Biggest Loser form we are getting to see punishment.

One of the great things about the Biggest Loser is the little short tips that you run into during the show. One of the guys was eating next to nothing and got beat up for it. If you do not eat your body goes into a starvation mode and you will not be able to raise your metabolism to lose weight. Kim Lyons also brought up the idea of eating ground turkey instead of ground beef. Turkey is high in protein and very low in fat so it is a great alternative whether ground up or just cooked instead of steak or chicken.

I want to skip the other stuff for now from the show because I think the real highlight in the two hours was the read and blue teams finally seeing the cast-offs, the black team coached by Jillian Micheals.

“strong like a tidal wave” I have no idea who used this line as it came so fast but one of Jillian Michaels people used this term to discribe one of his team mates. This was the day that the red and blue teams got to meet the black team. As happened last season the read and blue teams did not feel that the black team deserved to be there but just because they did not see them does not mean that the black team was not working hard. The problem last season was that all of the bonding that went on meant the the people working out from home were looked at as infiltrators and were never really accepted…we will see how this season goes as there are now three pretty evenly matched teams.
