Biggest Loser (Page 12)

It was so ridiculous to put the wreath in her... she was done already. Total waste of a big move.

Why in the world anybody on that "game" allows Conda and Jeremy to stay on the show is beyond me. They are a strong team, Conda would probably be gone without him, he is a strong player.... and here it is they can break it up on a challenge like last night and they let them walk through another one with immunity. Blows my mind.

It was sort of funny though listening to Kim talk about being on the outs when she was behind Conda in the beginning and had her back. Wrong game choice.

Yep.  I think Mark kind of figured it out towards the end of that game.  If he'd been smart he would have realized that he couldn't win and he should have gone after Conda/Jeremy from the start.

I really feel like the contestants are really not particularely intelligent this season.  Kimmy putting the "death lei" on Kim was just dumb!  EVERYONE was going for her!  I'm fed up with everyone feeding Chonda's entitled attitude.  I really feel like she is an awful human being and wish she would have been voted off weeks ago.  

Once the finale is over I doubt that Kimmy will keep it off, she REALLY doesn't seem to get it.  Given their lifestyle of farming will not owe itself to being athletically active like she learned on the ranch.

Yet again in the season of "no excuses" I find myself hearing many.  *sigh*  Antoine was spot on.

Conda holding Megan's elbow as they left the weigh in was quite classic....here, let me help you...OUT THE DOOR!

Does anyone else think Mark might just be close to a normal weight?  I mean, he looks pretty skinny at this point.  I wonder why he didn't lose any weight.

I was apalled at how much fat and sodium the contestants entrees had in them.

I'm not surprised Megan didn't lose more weight.  She stressed out her body by staying up too late to get Bob's "homework" done.

I hope Kim didn't dehydrate too badly to get her 7.  She could totally $crew herself over next week!  I'm also surprised she didn't pick up on Mark's strategy to do the heavy boxes first.

Jeremy needs to be forced to cook at the ranch or he is going to be an EPIC FAIL when he gets home.

So odd that Buddy supposedly can't do anything weight bearing but was allowed to do Zumba and the "obstacle course"?

Kim needs to find a non-competition motivation or she will also be an EPIC FAIL when she gets home.

I also thougth it was kind of ironic that the week's excuse was "exercise is boring" and they started it out with a "totin' boxes" challenge which is about the most boring challenge ever.  No strategy (really), no twists, just totin' boxes and the best box toter wins a one pound advantage--which is, of course, as always, immediately described as "huge."

Nice things from last episode -

Buddy was a riot in the Zumba class - he seems like a good guy. 

Megan got engaged and can ride the horse again without killing it.

Not so nice things -

Chris is so stressed out - I am amazed she is losing any weight.  She is so afraid of going home.  I thought she was going to pass out during the weigh-in.  I don't see a happy ending for her and Santa.

Conda is still at her manipulative best.  All this sympathy/empathy for Megan, Kim, etc. but would vote them out in a second to win.  Keeping Mark was the right move - not much left to lose.  If Megan actuallly was getting her act together, she had much more to lose.  I can't stand Conda, but she is the best "player" the show has seen.  If she were doing Survivor, she'd be the next "Russell".

I think Kim is next - she max'd out for the money this week (who could blame her).

Well, it is huge if you weigh 160-170 lbs...not so huge if you weigh almost 300....hence why it should be a PERCENTAGE advantage, not pounds!

Mark needed to keep the facial hair...just shorten it.

Chris doesn't look that great IMHO.

Everyone else looked pretty good.  Even Conda.

I was mad it was only an hour...dang it.

Even though they all know they get to see their families on make-over week, it still chokes me up to watch.  It's always my favorite part of the season.  Not going to lie...watching Buddy run to his family got the eyes a little watery.  And I loved his line about the hardest part of being on the show isn't losing the weight and the hard workouts, it's being away from your real support group.

Damn that 1 hr episode.

I am suspicious...Mark said that Chism's journey did not allow him to be at the white house (?), but I thought it was very odd that Santa did not come along with the kids and thier grandma.  Later there was a teaser phone call from Santa to Chris where he says he needs her to come home....wondering what's up with their relationship.

Ya, Mark needed to keep the beard, but very close shaken.  Buddy looked great and Kim looked great too.  I still think Conda looks pretty big.  If Jeremy keeps losing to his normal weight, he will be good looking and has a nice smile.

I suspect Chism and Santa could not do the White House thing because they are former Ranch residents and thus NBC wants us to not see them again until the finale...

I wonder if because of the trip to DC this will be a "long week" on the ranch...i.e. transparent to the viewers, but it's actually 10 days instead of 7 between weigh ins.  Because if they spent a whole day getting made over, and probably at LEAST a day maybe 2 getting to DC and back (from the WEST COAST!) then there isn't much time for workouts!

I bet Chism and Santa both went to DC, they just couldn't show them on TV.

And the wife and I absolutely loved that it was just 1hr!  I ended up fast forwarding through all the mushy family stuff anyway.  I wish every week was 1hr.  Only reason they cut it down this week is because of The Voice result show.

i thought Chris looked  GREAT. She's 42 right? Now she looks her age. We joked watching it though that if her house is in such poor condition, she won't be to afford to keep coloring her hair.  Makes we want to go out and color my hair now. But not just any brand would do. I'm now a CLAIROL guy.

Buddy looked good too. I like him best out of everyone left. His Zumba stuff was awesome.

Kim really needs to lose that dark makeup.

But we didn't get to a weigh in!  If it's one hour and we get to a logical conclusion that's awesome, but this just seemed like the episode was straight up interrupted.

This.
