Biggest Loser 01/26

I can't stand the red team! I really hope that lady gets her comeuppance sometime soon.

I felt a bit bad for Green, but Migdalia didn't seem to want to be there...last week she was ready to walk off the show. I'm hoping Miggy goes forth and kicks some butt now, I like her. Not sure what was up with green's weight loss this week though...

Yeah, I thought it was hilarious when Jillian called it perfectly on Mrs. Red, "This week she'll have a huge loss because of the peer pressure."  Good call Jill!

I wondered about green also.  I'm thinking maybe they gave up or let up because they got the extra 2 lbs early in the week.  I was surprised that Migdalia actually is losing weight at home.  She said she gained at first but now it looks like she's in a groove.  I wonder if they get incentive bonuses for weight loss because you would think at least one of the hundreds of contestants would come to the final weigh in in bad shape.

My wife said that she thought the girl that went home may have knew that her husband was leaving for Afghanistan, so she wanted to go home since who else would take care of her kids?  Makes sense to me.

I am surprised the green team passed the psychological testing to get on the show.  I have never seen two more angry women in my life.  Talk about needing some therapy!

Yes Migdalia wanted to go home because her husband was leaving for Afganistan and if she had stayed the duration she wouldn't have seen him before he left.  I think she said she gained 10 pounds when she got back before getting on track. 

It will be interesting to see how Miggy is in the house without her daughter. 

I'm also over the red team.  I think the husband is fine and would like to see what he is like without Melissa.

Right now I am liking the gray and orange teams.

Nice cliffhanger at the end with the 911 call.  No voting next week so either purple, brown, green or white goes home.  Unless another person is OUT because of the 911 call. 

The green team Mom looks like she's shanked someone in the joint before.  I would not want to make that lady mad.  On the other hand,  I've never seen anyone on this show except Vicki a few seasons ago that needs to be shanked.  At least Vicki had the sense not to mouth off during a weigh in.  I was trying to give Red team woman the benefit of the doubt but when she rubbed it in the green teams face that was just uncalled for.  The teams that play that way rarely win this game.  She is playing the game WAY to early.  If they have a bad week, red team guy only lost 6, she is out of the ranch to reduce the drama in the house. 

In defense of the green team a little, I think Jillian is trying to pimp her new show coming and playing Dr. Shrink Jillian a little to much.  Sometimes there just isn't that big of an issue like with Rudy last season.  She tried to make it a big deal but it seems like something Rudy already dealt with and put to bed.  He was just a big guy. 

Go Grey team those guys are fat losing machines.  Orange team is pretty cool as well.

I still think two hours is way too long for the show!

I've liked the gray team from day 1.  The orange team seems oddly quiet to be selected for the show, but I like them also and hope they do well.

I haven't seen all the episodes this season, but wasn't that the third immunity for the red team?  What did the do last week that got everyone so upset?

Red team lady didn't lose any weight (net) for the past 2 weeks.  Gained pound the first week, lost it the second week.     

Jillian called it perfectly.... she threw both weigh-ins, and is just lying about it.   I would LOVE to see her bodybug data.

Lets see, the red team lady is a liar. The green team are a bunch of blaming whining MEAN woman. Orange is nice, but a little odd. Grey are like the Tongans of last 'year', but not as fun. They are my favorite though.


I find it interesting the Mother had no objections sending her daughter home, who needed help. It seems their whole relationship revolves around what is best for mom.

I missed it this week...I was flying and my hotel has no DVR! 

I would try to watch the streaming video but my stupid hotel's internet sux.

Haha! I thought the same thing! Watch out red!

Also thought it was strange how the mom just let her daughter go.  Kind of like Helen a few seasons ago!

I don't like the red team at all.  The woman is incredibly pompous and the guys tries to physically intimidate others.  They look like the type of people who get into bar fights!  I wasn't crazy about the Green team either - angry, bitter women - not really likeable at all.

Her husband was being deployed to Afghanistan and wouldn't see him before he left if she made it all the way.  She seems to be doing well at home

Maybe she didn't say anything at elimination time because she knew of the deployment through a secret call home she wasn't allowed to make?  If she has said that she wanted to go home because of the deployment she'd have had the support of the other teams to let her go home!

But we didn't know that.  And I agree, maybe without her mom around, she's more relaxed ...

I remember it being said before the vote.  She missed her child as well.

she knew he was being deployed and had mentioned it in a previous episode i believe. You could probably put money on if she would've stuck around they probably would've flown him out for a quick 1 day thing to be sensitive I bet. Red team, she's either playing everyone (including her husband) or he's a good actor.... I belive she was playing/lying to him, and Jillian was dead nutz on. IF it's found out that she was lying and him NOT knowing, that's an episode I want to see..

Didn't they mention in the first episode that the red team had marriage problems?  If I am remembering correctly, I would definitely say that she is playing her husband along with everyone else.  He doesn't seem that bad; the arguing with Jillian is to stand up for his wife. 

I'm looking forward to a big blow-up next week between the angry green team woman and the red team woman.

Also, the green team woman who went home mentioned about her husband deploying during the phone call home.  She mentioned that he would be gone by the time she went home.  I agree that she should have said to everything that she wanted to go home for that reason; however, I also think she should have delayed her agreement to be on the show until he was gone.  I know I would never have wanted to leave a husband who was going to a warzone while I was a way.

I felt no sorrow for the green team, they were annoying and each are clearly wearing about 100 pounds of swallowed emotions.  Based on what they showed at home, I don't see the daughter being dramatically lighter at the finale. Not a fan of the red team, but they clearly picked the right team to hand the 2 pound disadvantage to, as the green team clearly could not handle the pressure of it.  Also on red, they were the only team to give gray a run at the pulley challenge, so you have to at least admit they are good competitors. 

Red Team woman is an attorney (they mentioned it in the first episode).  She's probably used to "zealously advocating" for whatever the cause of the moment is. 

I havent watched the show yet...but I just found otu I can watch it WITH FF...YAY!!!!!!!  Primetime on demand is awesome!!!!!

I have not watched this season because it takes way too much time for nothing to happen.

How is it going and is it a season worth starting up to watch right now?

Okay, just seeing the last hour of last week's show since for some reason they are showing it this week....

O. M. G.  Those green women have serious anger issues....red was right...the 2 lbs didn't matter.  They DO need to stop holding it in.
