Biggest Loser (Page 4)

Me neither. She's not a huge threat and isn't dragging the team down either. She seemed like a good one to keep around.

And, seriously, someone needs to shut Conda up. I can't take her.

I can't believe they didn't vote Conda off. Makes me wonder if NBC wouldn't let them because they know drama brings ratings. I would have dropped her like a bad habit!

Yep.  Add me to the "why did they vote off Lauren instead of Conda" band wagon too.

Conda made me SO mad last night it wasn't even funny.  Did anyone else catch that she wasn't putting both hands in each square and Dolvett had to tell her TWICE (during that second face off)????  Who is the cheater now?

I'm so glad Cassandra was able to put Conda in her place without having to resort to Conda's level.

I would bet MONEY that Conda put the "let's vote Lauren off" seed into the Red Team to take the heat off her and leave behind a weaker link (Nancy) that will always be an "easy target".  It's quite Survivor-esque really.  Too bad it's the wrong show!

And the guy who just left?  WTF?  Maybe he isn't the one who wanted to do the show but did it so his brother could go on it so once his brother was gone he saw no point in staying?  Notice we didn't get an update about him...

And is it me or was this week's excuse almost exactly like last week's excuse?

I really thought Nancy was headed home.  Her weight losses each week have been measly and she didn't even contribute to the team challenge this week (did she last week?).  Lauren would have been a team asset in any physical challenges.  Nancy will hold them back.  I feel like something was going on that we don't know about.  Personality conflicts?  Who knows.  So, with the "this person needs to be here" mentality, I guess the safest route is to play the weakest link card - "I'm so helpless I could never do this on my own"?

I think it's just another poor gambling strategy for the Red Team.

From the previews of next week it looks like Conda is going to get the attention she's been craving. Think she can get an attitude adjustment?

When Conda is finally booted,  it will be a cheer heard around the world.

My favorite thing was when they were first paired off and Conda was talking smack about her huge loss last week.  Cassandra said "it's percentages that count" and then they showed the two girl's percentages so far.   We didn't realize until then that Cassandra was so high up the ladder.

I am also in the "it's a game, not a charity" boat and they should be getting rid of weaklings at this point. But alas, it never goes the way I think it should.

I think next weeks excuse will be...

"I can't concentrate on my workout because Conda keeps b!tching about everything in my ear"

What's funny is that the short clips they show of Conda's brother while Conda is being a b!tch...he looks like he's about to bury his face in his hands because he's ashamed to be related to her.  I think I would too.

But again...makes for good TV.  Keep Conda on the show as long as possible.

Dolvett needs to drive her into the mountains, 10 miles away, put on a weighted vest, give her a bottle of water and tell her she is hoofing it back to the ranch.  IF she makes it back and leaves her whiney-butt excuses along these 10 miles, he will let her inside the gym to train and shut-up.  Oterwise, keep walking until she had figured it out.

Why was everyone sitting around the living room in blankets (inside the house)?  Conda either needs to have a light bulb moment SOON or she needs to go.  I am a teacher and do not take talk back or rolling eyes.  She and I would not see eye-to-eye if we were on the same team.

One thing nobody mentioned so far;  that condensed version of the show yesterday.  I LOVED IT!  Everything was to the point and got done in an hour.  They should all be edited down like this every week.

Conda has to go...if I could reach through the TV screen I'd punch her in the throat, she's that annoying to me.

And you're right, Santa is way too held back with his wife.  As soon as she started on him in the bathroom I would have told her to HTFU and that she's lucky to be here.

I too loved the condensed hour.  They jumped right into the first challenge...they showed them workout for a little while, then they did the weigh in...and you didn't have to hear that dang "beep beep beep" for every contestant.

Red team pulled in some really good numbers...but it's not surprising considering how bad their numbers were last week.  I think the roles will be reversed again next week.  Black team will get access to the gym again, have a solid week, and red team will have lower numbers.

It will be interesting to see if the Aqua team makes it back on the ranch.  50 pounds in 4 weeks (between 2 people) seems pretty reasonable...but then again they are doing it on their own.

I know it's early...but the 3 people I want to see in the finale are Chism, his dad, and Santa.  They seem like the only 3 normal people on the ranch.

If you can call a man who names his son Chism, and then pronounces it how I would say"Chisolm" and not the the word chism (like kizem), normal   I hate that.

But I agree, they are nice.

I'll admit I didn't see the whole setup for the battering ram challenge, but it looked to me like it would have been a better strategy to ignore the questions, just pick "A" and go straight through taking the mud where they found them.  It seemed like the time spent puzzling over the questions was a waste, taking more time than it would have to go through a couple more mud pits.

And for the "season of no excuses," doesn't it seem like there are a lot of excuses offered every week?

So, the funniest thing to me was that on this season of "no excuses" every single black team contestant said some version of "I don't know how we can lose weight without the gym" and everyone on the red team (including the trainer!) said there's no way the other team can beat us without the gym.  *sigh*  #missedthepoint

I didn't really like the completely compressed format.  Something in between that and what they normally do would be nice.

Very interesting episode tonight.

At first, I was really behind Adrian.  He seemed like he came in ready to work hard, but I guess that's the power of production editing.  Conda is still a ...but Adrian's comments at the elimination table was way out of line especially after he and his sister did the bare minimum to keep their immunity.  I'm not certain they did it on purpose...but you can't deny it's highly probable.

What I find interesting is that the last 2 seasons...contestants have been losing a lot less weight.  3-5 seasons ago, all the bigger contestants were losing 10+ pounds...week after week.  I think one contestant broke a record by losing 10+ pounds 7 weeks in a row.  This season...it seems like people over 300 pounds are overjoyed when they lose 8 pounds.

Now...I'm not saying that people over 300 pounds should be losing 10 pounds per week because that's not what happens in the real world.  I actually think it sends a better message to overweight people watching the show that losing 3-4 pounds a week is actually a really good thing.  It's just an observation I made the past 2 seasons.  But I also think that the contestants don't work nearly as hard as previous seasons.  I'm guessing that NBC might be casting more people that will cause more "dramas" on the ranch rather than people they think are more determined to win.  So far, I think it's working.

^^This! She is a cancer on the red team. She really needs to grow up! On a season of no excuses se apparently is all excuses. Look to yourself and SHUT UP! Maybe she should have approached Adrian and said that she and her brother share the same situation as Adrian and his sister and then try to befriend him. Even if he is a threat to her and she wants him gone. At least that would show some strategy.

Instead all she spews is insecurities that a 5 year old would exhbit. And the other red team girl that hates Adrian (I do not remember her name) has the scariest stare!

If either of these women win, I will stop watching this show cold turkey!
