Biggest Loser (Page 3)

I project the pink girls go far.  As "former athletes" you typically just need to fire up their metabolisms and it's game on.

I project whichever dudes lost a lot of weight at the first weigh in go far.

And the younger girl...who came with her grandma?  You can tell she is supposed to be SUPER skinny...her face and legs are still quite skinny.  So I think she'll drop weight fast too.

I watched last season and am not ready for this one so I'm boycotting this season.  I like Dolvett but he comes off to much like a motivational speaker to me laying on the 'charm' a little thick and it's insincere.  They will need a female trainer again and I'm sure Jillian will be back soon.  Bob goes nowhere. 

I just feel like a season of two hour shows was like giving birth and I'm not ready to go through labor again so soon.  They are going to wear this show out quick like Trading Spaces did years ago.

Actually my favorite part of the first challenge was before the first 40 when grandma whispered to her grandaughter "don't trip!"  Whispered, like that was the secret strategy.

And that event did look like a hammy pull waiting to happen, I wasn't surprised at all when the guy went down.  Plus he obviously didn't overhear grandma...

At least the boring parts go faster...nbc listened to feedback.  They don't spend nearly as much time on the weigh ins anymore.

Ok, finally finished watching last season on PVR and watched the first show of this season (I swim on Tuesday nights and then never seem to find the time to watch later in the week...).  My prediction for makeover week is: Emily, Mike, Cassandra, Kim M and Chism.  Despite the name, he reminds me of Mike from Season 11. 

As for the trainers, I do not care for Dolvett at all.  He just yells at his team, I don't find him on bit motivating.  He doesn't seem to really connect with his team the way Bob does.

I hate Conda.  What a witch.  And then to be all "nice" to him after she'd gotten her way?  Ugh.  That was frustrating to watch.

Glad to see Mike doing well at home.

And the red team was STUPID.  The whole idea of that challenge was to underbid so that you stuck the other team with some impossible number....

A few comments on last nights show:

I really don't like the pink wrestler, she doesn't strike me as being particularly intelligent or a nice person.  She seems quite selfish as well.  She should have gone home, she was soley responsible for them losing making that bet.

I think Bob was on that time of the month, he was WAY to upset over doulvet using "his" exercises.

As the seasons have gone on I've noticed more of the attitude that I feel is infecting our country.  When things get tough, people quit. 

That woman on the black team that kept sitting down is L-A-Z-Y.  She isn't going to make it much farther without picking up the pace.

I was thinking the same thing, but I was attributing it to him losing last week. 

I loved the poker challenge.  Hilarious. 

Interesting though that while Bob and the black team did win the weigh in...they needed the 5 pound advantage to do so.  So Dolvett is still producing better numbers on the scale for the first 2 weeks.  Quite a turn around from last season where Bob was just murdering Dolvett and Anna week in and week out regardless of any pound(s) advantages.

Yes, tri808, very strange.  Especially considering that Bob FOR THE MOST PART (Santa not withstanding) has the younger team.  They should be crushing Dolvett.

No one else mentioned this, but I like that it looks like each week will have an "excuse" theme and a bit about how to beat it.  This week's being "I don't have time to eat healthy".  So they had the super market trip and focused on nutrition.

I hope they keep that up.  It helps the show become more educational and not just drama-filled.

Huh.  Well, Mike sure looked better week 1!  Still liking Chism.  Wonder what the nickname means?

Well, I guess Joe screwed up my picks pretty good.

Sort of watching, don't really have a lot of time. I whooped my trainers but tonight!!!

But on a related note... my sister has been watching the show. That kind of blows me away. I would love for it to lead somewhere....

This season is getting pretty entertaining.

That guy who left on his own...wow...especially in a season of "no excuses".  You could tell it had nothing to do with his family.  His brother gets voted off and he decided to quit.

Conda is a b!tch.  But she's also like a train wreck.  As much as you don't want to watch or listen to her...you just can't help it.

Seems like Bob has finally got his team to perform.  They smashed the black team on the scale overall.

Santa is by far my favorite contestant.

And lastly, I have no idea why the red team voted off Lauren.  Nancy was the clear choice.  I hate all this BS about who needs to be here more and who would be better at home.  Everyone needs to be there, it's a game, vote for the weakest link.  The only person I ever felt that shouldn't have been voted off early was that super fat guy from 2-3 seasons ago.  He was young, short, and like 350 pounds overweight.  I seriously thought he might die if he got voted off and didn't stick with the plan.
