The Biggest Loser (Spoiler Alert!) (Page 3)

Meh... cause it's what they're comfortable doing?
I'm sure we all do things that even other triathletes do a double take at. If it works for you, cool. I'm not gonna be the one to point and laugh.

My only guess is a "train like you race" kind of thing.  If he uses it in all his long races he would probably want to wear it on ALL his long runs.  That I could understand...sorta.

I was a bit annoyed that she having lost almost 100 pounds and training for only 10 weeks was so fast compared to me...petty I know. I was excited that my 1/2 Mary time is faster than all of theirs though. I have lost almost 100 pounds too but I've been training since 2004 and more seriously for 2005. Genes make a huge difference as to our ability and potential. She is almost young enough to be me kid so maybe that helps.

As much time as they work out a day I didn't think it was such a big deal. Look many of them run/walked.  Did they drink enough or take in nutrition probably not.

Different conditions to run in make a difference....for sure. But what about Abrey I thought she ate cookies and didn't give the 5 minutes to anyone.

I think she found out that Helen was giving hers to Tara and maybe chickened out.  Guessing they are jealous of Tara. If they weren't going to make her fess up, then why show her eating a cookie?

I'm not sure who is editing this show but it's been one fail after another.

I still want to know why idiot Helen only ate one.  A TV show shoudl not make me this angry but it seems like a complete violation of any principle of logic that she did that and then didn't have to explain.  If I were Tara I totally would have lost it.

You should go read the CoJ version...I think I said something along these lines too.  With the cookies you had to go big or go home...you pretty much had to eat enough cookies to take down EVERYONE that you thought could run faster than you.

Helen owes Tara $10k.

I think it would have been nice of Scione to offer to split it with her.  I would probably have done that...or I hope I would do that!  Unless Scione has some debt or something we don't know about and he really really NEEDED it.  Hard to say what someone else should do....you don't know their circumstances.  I just think he should have.

I think Helen thought she could be Sione, so she didn't need to eat a cookie for him.  She felt like Tara would beat her, and she did.  But Helen didn't beat Sione, so she ended up hurting Tara.

I think the times are pretty reasonable.  I agree that NBC did a horrible job showing splits, but 2:24:4X or whatever it was is a pretty solid time.

That Aubrey ate cookies for anyone other than the top 2 finishers, does not matter so why show it except to instigate issues between the contestants.  So at SOME point it might come out.

I thought Aubrey ate cookies for Tara...
