I am a HUGE fan! I really think some of the people on the red team are selfish. I feel like they should have saved Arthur. His weight loss could definitely help them win weigh-ins.

I was shocked that Kaylee and Moses did not do that well at home. I adore Kaylee, but she cannot win the BL. She does not have enough weight to lose compared to others.

And the black team is now all girls! They are going to have a tough time winning against those big boys every week.

Arthur has been in game mode since he has been there, but he needs/needed to be there. I am glad he is doing well at home, but......

    that episode literally made me mad. like, i was yelling at the t.v. ha ha.
    i feel that the red team is to busy "playing the game" and "sticking up for their team" than actually realizing what the Biggest Looser is suppose to be about.
    especially after that plee that Bob made to keep Arthur there, i thought that maybe they would do the right thing.... i would have sent Kaylee home since she only lost one pound in 2 weeks...

    I agree. Kaylee should have stepped up and said she was fine going home. She is like 170 lbs and getting very close to a "normal" weight.

    It made me very upset to see that EVERYONE voted for him.

    I am very happy to see that arthur is doing so good at home!

    At first I did not think that he was really into losing the weight that much, but it seems that Bob lit a spark in him the last few weeks and now he is on cruise control.. he is going to look amazing at the finally

    I agree. I too, wanted Kaylee to go home- she looks great! But Arthur NEEDED to be there.

    I know!!! I, too, was shocked that they sent Arthur home. After what Jillian and Bob said I can't believe they didn't keep him. I'm really not impressed w/ the red team and their alliances and lack of caring about Arthur's life. I honestly thought Kaylee should have been going home.

    Yes, I'm not so sure how the black team is going to continue to fair as they move forward being all girls. Although they BROUGHT IT last night!!!!!! I rather secretly hope that the teams get all mixed up again, so that some of the alliances on the red team are broken.

    I was happy to see Arthur is doing so well at home too! Walking to the gym and back and all that working out and doing it with his dad. That was great!!
  • I AGREE! I was even crying, definitely the most emotional episode yet. Everyone is so worried about the "game" instead of the real purpose of the Biggest Loser. Arthur no doubt needs to be there & I can't believe he was sent home, although I am very happy that he is doing so well at home & I hope he continues and wins the at home challenge :)

    I gave up on it. I don't really like any of the contestants (this is the first season I've watched any of so I just think it's not my kind of show.) Last week's episode really bothered me though. They just expected the elders to fall on their swords to save their ADULT children. They aren't little kids. They aren't even teenagers still getting used to their developing bodies. They are ADULTS. And yet somehow they were more important than the elders.

    Really two faced of that one chick's mom who made a big point about "won't someone please think of the children" and then sacrificed Arthur as soon as she got a chance (i.e. after she sent his dad packing). She's clearly the alpha there, so the others just fell in line. I can't imagine how they could have the slightest bit of respect for her though now.

    I hope she gets sent home next week and then balloons up to double the weight she started at. I hate hypocrites.
  • I knew they would & as I watched them sit there and vote him off, I was like you A**es >:O( Maybe thats why I root for the black team every week :O) Good to see that Auther is still losing & doing awesome :O)

    Yeah the girls on the black team are not going to last really long but I know this - if the Red team lose another weigh-in, Kaylee is going home.....

    grrrr. I really dislike the red team. Even before last night I was rooting for the black team. It may just be because I love Bob and Jillian, but I feel like the red team is always so cocky and then they don't deliver at the weigh-ins. Unfortunately I think the Biggest Loser from this season will be from the red team, the girls on the black team just don't have much further to go. Unless it is Courtney or Jen. That would be sooo great! I just want the winner to come from Bob and Jillian's team!

    And OMG, Arthur looked awesome at home! 300 pounds. Wow. I hope he really does win the at home prize!

    I agree Arthur needed to stay longer than some of the others, but bottom line: It's a game, a reality TV show. If it was up to me, lowest percentage would go home every week and there would be no voting, but that's just not how this show works.
  • The red team totally screwed themselves. They could win every weigh in if they kept Arthur. He's bound to have big numbers. Kaylee, Ken, and Moses all blew it at home. The vote should reflect the weakest link.

    I think you forget who the wild card is. Bob and Jillian have David slaying Goliath right now. After 2 weeks at home who has their team in position to make this long lasting? I hated they sent Arthur home too but Aeveryone forgets that Arthur dug his own grave and if he would have lost 19 pound with the amount of weight he needs to lose he would have been safe. If he just could have made one more week I think he would have broken down the red team. Good TV I really like it.

    Frankly I think the red team did the right thing...they are there for weightloss but many of them are there because of they want to win the money. Arthur did not hesitate to throw people under the bus when it was his turn and I think everyone remembered that. And besides we all know that next season or the one after that they will bring Arthur back if need be just like they did with Danny in a previous BL season. Weigh to Goal Arthur you look great keep up your good work at home and do yourself proud.

    This is exactly how I felt about last night too! I thought Bob's little pep talk would have swayed some of them, but nope! When there is $ involved people get crazy!! I really hope Arthur wins the at home prize. He has annoyed me more than once during the season but I am very proud of him and his accomplishments so far! Right now my vote is for Courtney to win it all. I just adore her and her mother!!

    I agree with all the comments. I think there was game play all the way around. Arthur really did himself in when switched the father and daughter team over to the red team and openly admitted it was to have a scape goat (the mother and daughter team) so his father wouldn't have to go home. The women on the black team although openly supportive of Arthur, didn't really want him and his dad there. They split them up, having the father go home. So Arthur didn't have an alliance with anyone on either team, as well as being the biggest threat to both teams. I think the black team is hoping that they will split everyone up soon so it won't be just women against the big boys. The red team say they are all about "family". Let's see how far that family goes when they start picking them off one by one. Right now I don't have any favorites. I'm hating them all. LOL

    I know Bob went off in a speech about how the red team shouldn't play the game because this his life but I disagree. Normally I agree that they should let the people who need the help the most stay but this week I agree with the red teams choice. Arthur had established earlier on in the game that he wanted to play the game when he made the choice to swap out two of his team members for two on the red team. There was no reason he had to switch things up when everyone wanted things to stay the same way. He switched things up for his own game play reasons. All of those red team members want longer time on the ranch as well so why should they not play the game for a person who has in past challenges.

    I totally agree with you! Every time they read a vote for Arthur, I said, "stupid" and got more mad! They are definitely selfish! I think that not only does Kaylee not have that much left to lose, but she could do just fine at home now if she put her mind to it. I was very disappointed by that too. The parents had been so protective of the kids prior to this, I think a couple of the parents should have taken Arthur's best interest into consideration.

    I personally didnt care for Arthur, i mean he needed to be there an everything, but i think he could have dug deeper and not have been such a "player" in the begginging when HE FIRST screwed up the teams. i wanted him off immediately, but you can tell he regretted it! i kinda didnt like him, but good for him and his weight loss and better life journey

    I watch it every season and all I can say is.........!*&!*!%!#!. I can't believe they sent him home knowing he needs to be there more than some of the others. Craziness, but I'll continue watching like I always do.

    Oh my GOODNESS...My eyes are puffy from all the crying I did during last night's episode! I was hoping that Kaylee would have either been sent home because she had the LOWEST amount of weight lost on the red team (ONE pound in TWO weeks?)..and will probably continue to do so since she is sooo small...or she would have volunteered herself..Moses is still there, and he may have a chance of winning, but Kaylee does not. There's no way she can even be runner up..I think if the red team was smart, they would have voted her off since she has gotten so small and kept Arthur..He would have given them bigger numbers for the remaining weeks. On top that...THEY MADE JILLIAN CRY...how often does THAT happen?
    I'm soo happy that Arthur is doing so well at home, and I really hope he either wins the at-home challenge or comes back next season..or the producers have a change of heart and just bring him back on the show..LOL

    And the black team...while I love them and they are doing so great...they are going to crumble..they are getting smaller and smaller..they have GREAT numbers this week...but last weigh-in, they didnt...and next week...I just hope they prove me wrong...

    On the one hand, I see what you mean about Arthur's game play early on, HOWEVER, this is a man who started out with a HUGE amount of weight to lose. His "game play" maneuvers were not mean-spirited, they were just pure FEAR coming out. I think he was terrified of going home. I actually have grown to really like him and his Dad, too.

    The only comment I take issue with here is the person wishing that the girl "balloons" back up to her starting weight? That's just mean. I don't wish obesity on anybody, even people I don't like.

    I think I'm suffering from BL burn out! I too haven't found anyone I really want to see win. And I too thought it was a crock of *kitten* that the MOMS were all boo-hooing over ADULTS as well. And last season's game playing with Brendan and keeping that worthless Elizabeth around really irked me!

    I know I'm in the minority, but I think going home may have been a great thing for Arthur. He showed he is doing great at home with his family's support - in contrast, he had a team of women on the ranch that felt the need to 'protect him.' The entire time the black team was having their little meeting about the parents sacraficing for the children (Arthur being the main focus of that conversation, by the way) I kept thinking that they are telling their kids that they don't think they can do it - they have so little confidence in their kids' abilities to do what they need to do, that they are going to THROW THE WEIGH IN! How is that environment healthy? So two of their teammates ended up going home in order to 'save arthur' who it turned out didn't NEED saving... between that and the black team's lack of 'TEAM' during that challenge with the big balls (that was more a lack of focus/teamwork/organization that it was of strength/speed) I can say I wouldn't call my self a black team fan - wait to see who the next two voted off of the black team are (if teams stay as they are, who knows what they will do) and I would guess you'll see that the black team has their own alliances -

    OMGoodness!! I was mad at my tv, too!!! Why did they send Arthur home??!!! It just reinforced how some people in this world are no matter what!!!! I don't like the red team anymore. They are being selfish, because they saw that Arthur needed it more than anyone. Ev eryone else on the RED team is PLAYING THE GAME!!! :mad:

    ANYWAY, I'm not mad anymore...ha ha!! I'm glad Arthur did good, and I hope he continues. In fact, I hope he wins the at home challenge...

    I think it sucks that Art went home, but not surprising. I really thought after all the speaches Jillian and Bob gave that he actually had a 50/50 shot at that point. I wasn't too surprised.

    I do think sending Kaylee home wouldn't be good. If after 2 weeks of being home her weight loss halted, that's a sign that she needed to be there.

    I can't wait to see how the girls do now against the guys. I think they have a better support system to get each other through. Eventually it will get ugly, when they have to start kicking each other off.

    saturday was my first time watching biggest loser... i watched one episode on primetime on demand & i was immediately hooked! i watched about 4 episodes back to back & i watched last night of course!

    i think the small girl on the red team (moses' daughter) should've went home... she is very small & at that size she CAN'T produce big #'s at the weigh-in's... so she's not really an asset to her team... arthur def needed 2 stay :-/ congrats 2 the black team tho 4 being home 4 two weeks & pulling such great #'s!!!!

    They should have kept Arthure because he NEEDED to be there more then anyone there!! he struggles and its taken him the longest to get going.. Bottom line is that now the "RED" team can only vote against themselves and their alliance and im going to enjoy it!! i hope the "BLACK" Team keeps the weigh ins as great as they have been so they will send the "RED" team mates home!! PS i LOVE The biggest loser!! :drinker:
