    I have only watched a few episodes but it inspired my work. I work at a school and we have 26 people who paid money to commit to the Biggest Loser Challenge. We are only in week 3 but in the first week, we lost a total of 89 pounds combined! We weigh in every week to our school nurse and have to pay money if we gain wait. There is a prize at the end, which is in January, for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. I think the Biggest Loser has motivated us all to get healthier!!!

    I am annoyed that they sent home the younger girl tonight, and kept the older woman who had been thin once before in her life. Not that everyone regardless of age doesnt deserves to be a healthy weight- I just feel bad for the younger girl who went home. She never experienced being thin & has a lifetime worth of things to experience that the older woman already has done (like marriage, kids, grandkids). I just feel bad for her. Hope she goes on to lose the weight on her own at home

    I watched TBL tonight and I was kind of surprised that they sent the younger girl, Allie, home but I do understand why they wanted to keep Tina, the older woman.. Tina admitted that her first thought was to put Allie first and be the "mother" figure and to help Allie get whats best for her. She also admitted that that is what got her in the position she is in now so it's nice to see that Tina has already begun the acceptance and healing process of her issues.

    This is such and inspirational show. People say it's fixed and whatever else but all that really matters to me is that people are losing this mass amount of weight and saving their own lives! It's something that is still hard for me to accept; I could die if I don't help myself. Great show and great food for thought, no pun intended. ;)

    Wow...I think you're more than just a season behind. Last season here in the US was Koli and Sam and Mike and Ashley. And we just had our second episode of season 10 last night.

    You should be able to watch it either on hulu.com or directly from NBC's website.

    I was shocked by last night's decision to send home Allie. I really think this season will be more "What's best for me?" game playing. In the past, compassion would have kept her there but I think this year they are looking at ways to remove the most competitive players early. They will have another chance to send home Tina, but if Allie would had the chance to put up big numbers in the weeks to come... it could have changed the course of the game.

    i love the biggest loser, but of course there is game playing. The players are getting smarter. They are seeing that keeping the biggest threats due to compassion in past seasons has lead to those same compassion cases often making it to the near end, end or winning.

    I think it's amazing though that they make people and inspire people to make such great changes. What I would like to see though- is a show where we can get updates on ALL the players, not just the past winners. (The winners get a lot of help to stay slim so they can help promote TBL in the future) it's the people who don't get all that help I am curious about

    You would be pretty shocked to know what really goes on on that show, they treat the people like crap. On weighs ins they wanted them dehydrated ,they went home with eating disorders.

    It took her so many years to come forward (I'm referring the article about Kai) and imagine that- someone who was morbidly obese had self esteem issues? I see how easy it is to trade one addiction (food addiction) for another (working out) but find it somewhat hard to believe that the whole show is a crock.

    I guess the same way you can't believe everything you see on tv, you can't believe everything you read on a blog.
