Biggest Loser 10 Talk

fit2sit

I thought this week's episode was rather meh. The drama in the beginning about wanting to go home, which was funny come elimination time as the 2 that wanted to hit the road were given the chance to get voted off! I'm still waiting for Aaron to come up with some big numbers. Hopefully having to get saved and thinking about his son at home will allow him to supercharge his workouts over the next week can come above the yellow line.

Frado better hope his alliance can keep him alive, because with the numbers he was throwing down this week, if it keeps up we'll see how well he can do in the elimination challenge next week.

Love, LOVE the Biggest Loser!!! I didn't know it had started so I haven't caught up with the show yet. So glad for the online option! When I do get caught up (this weekend), I'd love to talk about the show!

SP0472

The show is FINALLY getting more interesting! I loved the Red Line surprise & I hope they keep that. Next week they're bringing people back who didn't make it during the 1st show!!! That should be interesting!

I loved how Frado & Brendan were trying to get Ada to join their alliance against Adam. I think this poor guy's gotta work his butt off to make sure he never falls below that yellow line or he might be a goner!

I'm glad Burgandy was voted off. There was something about her that irked me. I can't put my finger on it but she annoyed the heck out of me.

fit2sit

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?? OK, so they kick off all those people, and now they bring back the contestants that didn't make it at the city challenge. Seems like it's going to get interesting now. We've seen for a month now who puts in thier time at the gym and the alliances, and the little games. But now that we have new players its going to change the entire dynamic of the show. Next week should be really good.

shellgib

can I just say....I don't like Brendan! Not sure what it is about him (kinda like SP0472 and Burgandy, lol) but I think it's the way he's "playing" the game so much. It did seem like they were voting ppl off kinda quick, so the fact that they're bringing some more on makes sense. Can't wait to try that cupcake recipe!!

MTDork87

I feel that way about Frado. I just don't like him. Maybe because he is really pushing the whole "playing the game" thing and then his comment about hiding from Bob and Jillian in the gym. But he also lost 20 lbs so clearly he's not goofing off too much. I agree that next week should be pretty exciting!

Also - I loved Sophia's update! She looks great!

I knew the people that did the city challenge would get a second chance, but that always suck for the people still on the show. I hope it puts a wrench in those tight a alliances though. Yeah, Frado and his pal bug the heck out of me. Mr. Boston bugs me more.

Nelski

Mr. Boston bugs me more.

It's the way he talks, lol.

edorice

Not really, I don't really mind the way he talks. I actually like the Bostonian accent, lol. I can appreciate it because out here in Cali we really don't have an accent. Naw, I just don't really like him. LOL

shinybonnie

Ready for some BL tonight! I was glad to see the "3rd wheels" who'd been left behind the first episode show up in the preview for this week. I hope the guy from Alaska gets to come on, but then again, we don't need ANOTHER guy on there losing double digits. This yellow line in the middle really sucks for the girls and I hope they change it fast!

shinybonnie

PS - who do you think will be back from episode 1?

lloydrt

Does anyone feel bad for Ada, the Vietnamese girl who is hated by her parents,,,,,,,,,she was the one they accused of letting her little brother drown in the pool, and then accused her of killing her other brother the day she got her drivers license

poor girl, she just cant win with those people.........wow, now everyone knows that they left their son with a little girl , unsupervised......I wonder what child care is going to say about that........I hope Ada does well ,I feel her parents are really pigs and they are responsible for her behavior..........

shinybonnie

Yeah, I do feel bad for Ada. That story is pretty crazy. But I noticed almost all the contestants had some sympathetic back story this season.

lloydrt

Shiny bone......can you imagine telling your daughter, that they wished that Ada had been the one to die, instead of her brother? Whoa, I mean, whats up with those 2 whack jobs?

AND..........just who left the toddler with a young inexperienced kid, a young girl with no parental skills? Id call Child Protective Services on those 2....

but I cant imagine telling your daughter that you wished that she had been the one to drown instead of her brother........wow, some really deranged people there............Well, Im rooting for her.....maybe she can take the money and run.......get the hell away from those 2 psychos...........

toots99

I like Ada too.

I hate the elimination. I hate all the dramatic crying. I know it must be emotional being there, but come on already. You're voting them off a show, not sending them to the electric chair.

shinybonnie

come on already. You're voting them off a show, not sending them to the electric chair.

HAhahaha! And I don't know how many times I've heard one of the contestants say, "nobody knows how hard it is until you get here. No one who hasn't been to the ranch can understand how TRULY hard it is." Pfffft! Come on. You've known the person, what, 10 weeks tops?

Cina04

A 41 pound loss in a week? O.M.G. I too missed the beginning but I can't believe they lost that much in a week! Those men were kicking out 30-40lb losses left and right! Unreal.

It was actually 2 weeks but still crazy!

I always thought the weigh ins were weekly too. Now I understand why the women don't like seeing the low numbers like 5 or 6 compared to what the guys are losing

I think they are weekly, but the 1st one was 2 weeks...from the time they weighed in their home town, to the first weigh in on the ranch.

fit2sit

Hmm, I wonder how the show would have been if Anna would have picked immunity for herself and put Patrick on the black team. Oh well, can't change the past.

Was anyone buying Brendan's 2 pound loss as "playing it straight"?

shinybonnie

I don't think Brendon was playing it straight! 2 pounds? No way. Him and Frado have been very outspoken about "playing the game," from episode 2! I wish Anna had known to separate those boys. I think they made a mistake with who they chose to vote off...

**********************SPOILER ALERT**************************************

They said they voted Rick off because Patrick's allegiance would be stronger towards him because they were both green team. I think they are over-thinking this stuff. They are thinking like 5 weeks ahead! Their teamates really need to understand that as long as that threesome exists, anytime the black team has to vote someone off, it's going to be anna, elizabeth, or ... who was the other member? Anyhow, the others on that black team need to bust up that allegiance fast!

Anyhow, next week is going to be tough for Blue. The Black team are going to be formidable opponents. For one thing, they are tough, physically. For another thing, I assume that Patrick AND Brendon both drank a bunch of water before the weigh-in, so NEXT week, those two's numbers are gonna be insane and they'll be safe.

SP0472

I think both Frado and Brendan threw the weigh in. Frado couldve put up double digits. I really wish Anna knew enough about them to split them up but then I think if she did, Adam would be an easier target. This way if he's on the Blue Team they can't vote him off and they were both itching to do that.

Is it just me or does it seem that a majority from this group of contestants really don't care about losing weight as much as they care about winning the money????

Last year it seemed like only the Red Team (Melissa&Lance) were in it only for the money. This year it seems that most everyone has that attitude. I would give so much for that opportunity - it would be so life changing to be secluded on a ranch and the only thing you have to focus on is your health. No bills, no family, no work...just you. I'd go even if there wasn't a $250K prize up for grabs.

Me too! I'd love that!

sofaking6

Yeah Anna I guess didn't know enough to ask about alliances...Ada could have told her to keep those boys split up! The girls will definitely be out 1-2-3 unless Blue Team surprises us all. At least they have Aaron...I feel like he is really about to start hitting huge numbers.

edorice

Brendan totally threw that weigh in. Did I already mention that I don't like him. I don't.
You're right, Anna should have done more intel. I was shocked to see Rick go. But so PROUD of his results. And he fit into his letterman's jacket. AWESOME.

It seems like maybe half of the contestants are just in this for the money. But I'm rooting for the people that need to do this for their kids and for their self esteem. I can't really fault the people that are in it for the money though, this is a tough economy. I wonder how many people didn't have to walk away from jobs to get on the show. Maybe they weren't working at the time and this would be a great boost for them.

MTDork87

I did NOT see that coming. But, like edorice said., his update was so wonderful, it's hard to feel too bad for him. I think the Blue team could surprise us and win some serious weigh ins. It's hard because I like the blue team more so I want them to win but I would hate to see the girls get kicked off because the black team is so alliance-heavy. I hope something happens and that alliance magically disappears somehow next week.

The show is definitely interesting, I just wish there was more about the challenges and less about the weigh-in politics. I know, it'll never happen but a girl can dream, can't she? Like that food challenge they did - they quickly showed the correct answers and didn't explain anything about them. Anyone know how that fruit thing can be more calories than those crab cakes? I guess maybe if it was canned / caramelized fruit and they made the crab cakes without any sort of creamy sauce?

Grr. It's annoying when the contestants seem to only care about the money. It's more annoying when the show itself seems to.

Shayberz

I love this show!!
It really helps me think bout my week and my foods as well!

I just wish I could have Bob and Jillian as my trainer!! LOL

Shayberz

I like Ada too.

I hate the elimination. I hate all the dramatic crying. I know it must be emotional being there, but come on already. You're voting them off a show, not sending them to the electric chair.

I liked Ada at first but she gives me the vibe that she's really not happy to be there she doesn't show it or anything?

Most of those food challenges went over my head. We even have TIVO and reviewed some of it. It was too annoying. Breaking down the ingredients and listing them was helpful, but it was mostly annoying. I hope the black team alliances get broken up a bit as well. Brendan is too cocky and hasn't dropped big numbers for a guy.

TaraMaria

YAY! So glad I found this thread!

I really love Ada. And I was disappointed from the first episode that Anna didn't get on the show so I am thrilled that she is now apart of the team.

But by team I don't mean Black Team. I mean the "BrenAdoick" Team. Those girls don't have a chance. That team is going to self destruct which is such a shame since I really love the girls over there. I thought I would really enjoy the fact that it wasn't couples this season since last year it really seemed to turn into all about the game and who was related to who or had alliances with who. Yet its just as bad if not worse!!

Plus, like someone else said...I really feel like if I had a chance to go to the ranch and not worry about bills or my house or anything for any amount of time and be with Bob and Jillian...Really? This is NOT how I would treat the situation. I would be in awe...and respect.

So there are my two cents...really excited for this Tuesday's episode now that its obvious that the black team's men are game players...
