Biggest Loser 4/21 (Page 2)

It is kind of surprising that NBC would actually highlight some "backsliders."  I was almost beginning to believe that these folks signed some kind of nondisclosure agreement regarding talking to the media about weight gain.

Interesting that almost without exception, the people featured in that article have parlayed their appearance on BL into a new career related to it.

Not really.  Apparently there are FDA regs governing what you can define as a serving.  I'm guessing that the manufacturer of that pizza stretched the rules a bit by saying that a serving is "a slice of pizza", and of course everbody knows that a round pizza gets cut into eight slices.

But the bit did make its point effectively--you need to look at serving size in addition to calories per serving.

To me it was a boring and predictable episode, did anyone think Tara would loose? I did expect Tara to loose more weight though. I think next week Bob's team will have big losses now that that have discovered that they were not taking in enough calories. Tara needs to focus on loosing weight and not get distracted, she can win this. Bub-Bye Ron & Mike!

I, too, called shannangans during that part.  There is simply no way that such small pizza had 1900 calories or whatever they said.  I just had a giant microwave pizza, it came out to only 900 calories.  Unless that 7" pizza was 6" thick... not happening.

That's not the first time they've exaggerated certain things.  They said recently (last season?) that 12 light beers is better than a full-sized, 1500 calorie burrito.  That's rediculous--the burritto probably had 20 grams of fiber, 30 grams of protein, etc., and the alcohol changes body chemistry to change the way the drinker burns fat, etc.  Oh well!  I guess a show like this wouldn't be on air if they couldn't say things that sound incredible like that.

I have a feeling its comming down to Tara and Mike, I give the advantage to Tara, she has won every challenge rather easily and I am guessing the next few will be dealbreakers! Jillian's teams usually win so they both have that going, I think Tara has way more drive and athleticism and Jillian knows how to motivate her, Mike depends on his Dad too much and hasnt won any, other than a New York trip. Tara has won her way up to this point, Ron and Mike have played everyone, I wish I had an 8x10 of Felipe and Tara's faces when Ron promised his son would win, talk about new found motivation, what he did was challenge Tara, bad,bad  move!
