Any one know if they are planning a next season of Biggets Loser? Sure hope they do the editing different this next year so they DON'T focus on the whiners, otherwise I will have lots of other things to spend my time on.

    I heard it was on the brink of cancellation (mostly thanks to their focus on Conda and her nonsense). I personally like Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition better. I wish they showed it in the fall and not just the summer.

    They are doing some brush up work on it. I think it is supposed to be back in January.

    That is sorely needed. As big as they have made this as a brand, they can't afford to just let it go, and they can't afford to let bad producing and whiney contestants drive viewers away. For all that they know about the severely obese, they should have an idea how many watch the show, how much depression is a part of the illness, and the drama and downers don't help anyone envision how they could lose the weight. We want to picture ourselves and contestants, to think of how we would do it, and no one wants to be somewhere to deal with a 'Conda' when there are already so many emotional hurdles for us to navigate.

    I have really come to enjoy the Biggest Loser. This last season, although the concept of NO EXCUSES was awesome, was full of EXCUSE makers. Which I hated.

    The Conda C@#%t should have been tossed from the show in the first week.

    Also, I would like to see more about how the interact with each other when not working out. And I would love to see more of how they prep food and eat.

    I have not liked the show as much since Jillian left. She could overstep her boundaries a bit with the therapy stuff, IMO, but she really did seem to care. But I hope the show doesn't go away--I still enjoy it. I wish Bob would go back a bit to the kinder, gentler Bob. I love Dolvett. It would be nice to get another great female trainer in the mix.

    I loved it when it first started showing and watched it for a few years. I have not watched it in quite some time. It lost my interest somewhere along the way.

    News came out today that it will be back in January with three teams of 6. Teens ages 13 to 17 will be included but not in the weigh ins. Jillian (who now has an adopted daughter and a baby with her partner) will be back, as will Bob and Dolvett. Sounds like they are indeed doing some major revamping.

    I sure hope it's better than last season. It was my first season watching it and was desperately under my expectations with all the unnecessary drama and whining. Jeez.. D:

    I stopped watching last season due to Conda. I have no idea who even won ;(

    I am looking forward to Jillian coming back. I was hoping it would be back this month, but January will be here before we know it!

    I haven't watched it for at least 4 seasons because of the whining. It gets annoying. I really liked seeing the results I do not like seeing the game play. They should provide a different incentive to lose weight. People will do just about anything for money.
