All great comments... It definitely is a thought provoking show on so many levels.... Will be interesting to see who ends up being the winner this season!0

I think that if the black team wanted Arthur to stay SOOOO bad then one of them should of went to the red team. They acted crushed, but they knew what was going to happen. I lost a lot of credit for the black team when they all threw the weigh in. How about trying to actually win the weigh in? That is why you are there....to stay as long as possible.
I can't blame the red team for doing what they had to do.
I can't stand that one girl Hannah either. I'm glad she tore it up in Volleyball lol0 -
I was absolutely devastated how things worked out. I was hoping that the red team would see how much Arthur needed to be there.. how far he's come but also realize that he still has a ways to go. After Jillian's reaction and Bob's speech, I thought they would realize it.. But as soon as Justin revealed his vote, I knew Arthur was doomed.
I keep going back and forth with how things worked out. First I was so mad at the Red Team for voting Arthur off: they're so selfish, they're in it just for the money, etc. etc. But Arthur screwed up things by switching the teams over in the first place.. If he had left things as they were, he would most likely still be there. Sarah wouldn't have had Bob and Jillian for her trainers and would have stuck with Brett and Cara.
I'm glad he is doing well at home. I believe things happen for a reason. Everyone has to go home at some point.. if they are in it for the right reasons then what they learned on the show they can take with them at home. It's also a good motivator for someone who is 400lbs and sees that Arthur is losing weight at home as well. It's unfortunate, but there's only one biggest loser in the end.
I really do think Arthur will take the at home prize. I am rooting for him for sure! I am also still going for the Black Team. I hope the Red Team just falls apart.0 -
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.
Wishing weight gain on others...not good! Always a good thing to be aware of a little thing called "karma".0 -
I hate that Arthur went home too. But he did this to him self. If he hadn't switched the 2 couples earlier in the game then everyone would have stayed with their org teams. Yes he needs to be there but at the end of the day it is a game. If I were in the other's shoes I don't know that I would have sacrificed myself either. They are all there to play the game and win the money. None of them signed up to help the competition out. But thankfully, it looks like Arthur is doing great at home and it looks like his dad is also doing great. And now that they are home together working out then they stand a really good chance of winning the at home prize.

The guy on the red team with the beard is controlling the game and has been since week 1. He and Rulon are picking off the biggest threats one by one so they can be in the finals. They kept Kylee because she is absolutely no threat. Her father will be the next one to go. Mark my words when they lose the next weigh in, Moses will be a goner. Yes Arther needed to stay and they knew that but he was too much of a threat to them. Here's to hoping that somehow either he or Rulon get voted off soon.0

I don't understand how nobody else see this...
If the black team wanted to protect Arthur, wouldn't one of them step up and join the red team? The fact of the matter is they say they would do anything for him, but they are just looking out for themselves first.0 -

I think most of the black team assumed Sarah would choose to go back to her "family" on the red team. They were the ones rooting for her on the treadmill.
Personally, I HATE the red team. A lot of comments here talk about how awful that the parents threw their weigh in to keep their children there. Last week, Moses did the right thing by pushing his daughter instead of throwing his weigh in, but the black team parents were only protecting their children as well. I think it's incredibly admirable, and shows the difference in character between the teams. The red team is heartless and cold. They pretend to care about each other, but they don't. That will come out soon enough.0 -
Biggest Loser is doing a great job of keeping it interesting! I will say that much.0

The black team knew who was going where.....I am sure everyone knew who was picking what team.0 -
Thats what i was saying the entire time!!!! Idiots!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.
Next week when the y loose the weigh in they'll have to vone one of their own off.
Arthur was good for the team.0 -

Definitely!
I agree with all of the comments in one way or another. The red team is there to play the game so of course they are going to be seen as "the villians" they are all into their "alliance" their "family" I knew when Arthur went red he was going home, but after seeing him back at his home, I think he is doing great. he is back with his dad and his kids and he is working his tail off to win the at home prize.
I know that this is a "game show" and most are in it for the money, but I think the real winning is what Bob, Jillian, Bret and Kara are teaching them about their lives. It strikes such a cord with average joes because they are dealing with a larger scale of what we deal with everyday. You are routing for the underdogs, or the one that is just like you or your mom or dad. Eventually they will all go home, I hope that they all succeed, to me, if they learned how to live as respect their bodies, they are all winners....just not wealthy ones:P
My predicition is that Rulon will win it all...just because I think it will make the best headline, but I REALLY REALLY want Courtney to win! I absolutely adore her. Her attitude will take her so many places in life, she is awesome!0 -
It annoys me that people aren't playing this game for what it is. The red team has been voting people off just because they aren't considered "family." UMM!!!! They will be turning on each other soon regardless because it is a competition and someone has to be voted off each week. This season has been terribly annoying for that people aren't playing the game for what it is.0
-
i watched the Biggest loser!! That show is off the chain!! Man I can't believe they sent Art home after that big Speech Bob made. I can not lie Art is doing great at home!! its good he back with his father so they can do it together!! I know he going to do great!!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE TRYING TO REACH THEIR FITNESS GOALS!!0
-
Arthur, should not have decided to game play a few weeks back. Although Art needed to be there I agree, but how fair is it to say that he deserves it more just because he is fatter? Not buying it. Art should not have turned on the green team. What goes around comes around. I quit liking Arthur as much the minute he threw the green team under the bus. I however would like to see him succeed in his weight loss and I was happy to see him so much smaller. As for the black team they are just as "family" oriented about their team and I think that it is great that the red and black have come together and are loyal to each other. It won't last though because this is still a game and money is involved.0

Yeah, but if it buys all the original red members 1 more week atleast, why not be loyal? Who knows, if they win next week then they get another week to stay.
Arthur didn't have any problems playing the game in the past, now it bit him in the *kitten*.0 -

I still love how the black team didn't feel like they had a chance on the red line week...so 3 of the parents just gave up lol. They could have won that week (The red team didn't do so hot) and have the red team send somebody home instead of Jesse.0
-
I know! I think Moses did the right thing by pushing his daughter instead of throwing in the towel. I don't know though as a mother it still bothers me the biggest loser a few seasons back when the chick wanted them to send her 20 something daughter home instead of herself then she ended up winning and her daughter was still big at the finale so maybe they were trying to avoid looking like that jerk of a mother.0
-
I agree, Moses and his daughter seem like a good strong team. He protected her the right way........getting her *kitten* up and working out, not chugging water and eating like a pig for a week to take the fall. I don't respect the black team because of that. I hate when anyone throws in a weigh in.0

If I were in those parents shoes, I would've done the same thing. You always want your child's life to be better than your own. If you don't, you should not be called a parent. True, they could've pushed like Moses did, and maybe it would've worked. But this guarenteed that it worked. It's just a choice that a parent would make.
Also, last night proved that the red team hasn't learned much but to get to the gym on time and work hard. Those first few weeks of having food cooked for them and being catered to and not taught how to live the life really hurt them. They, quite obviously, don't know how to go home and cook a healthy meal. The black team is learning lifelong lessons and understand how to use those lessons once they leave the ranch. Too bad you can't say that for the others.
I'm still cheering for Jen. She's been my fave from day one! I LOATHE Courtney. She's a little attention *kitten*.0 -
I think that is why I like the red team because even when they had immunity they were still there to lose weight instead of throwing the week before so that they could have a big number when it was their turn to face elimination. I am not too fond of this seasons contestants anyway. They are just not as likable as some other seasons and they all cry way too much. More than your average biggest loser so that is saying something.:laugh:0

As a parent the BEST thing you could ever do for your child is teach them how to work hard to earn something. Teaching them that you will "cheat" in order to get them what they want is always wrong parenting. Have confidence in your child that they have the ability to work their butts off and do good for themselves. It feels so much better when you have worked for it and what a better person you will turn out to be.0 -

With adult children, you've lost your chance at teaching them those lessons. I agree with you 100% though. Those are lessons that need to be taught growing up. Lead by example. I know for a fact that if my mother and I were on that show. And she thought for any reason I might go home, she would do the same thing. She has told me that. When, a few seasons back, the mother sent her daughter home, my mother (and parents everywhere) were furious. I wouldn't want her to, and I would try to talk her out of it, because I've been raised the right way. I've been taught that you work hard for what you get-it doesn't get handed to you. You protect your child, you do whatever it takes-at all costs. I would do it for my own son if he were grown and unhealthy.0 -
I hated what that mother did a few seasons back. That is different than telling your kid I don't think you have a chance so I am throwing this for you. I was glad they did it though because it saved the girl from the green team and I did not want to see her go home. I would have taken Moses' approach but I just have a lot of confidence in my 4 children.0

I'm just wondering why in these situations of parent/child teams, it's always insisted the child not go home. I would think the older person would need more help because it's harder to lose weight as you get older. Especially if it's at a point that the child has already done really well, like if it were between Kaylee and Moses.
Just my 2 cents.0 -
I dont see "attention *kitten*" anywhere in relation to Courtney. She has worked hard and it had paid off for her. I like her so much and I hope she wins it all. I think she has a great, determined attitude. Who I cannot stand is Hannah and her....sister (?). They are obnoxious. and I seriously doubt she was that great in volleyball.0

I can't stand them either. I was laughing hard when Hannah was tearing it up on the court lol.0 -

For me it's Jen who is annoying. Crying terribly at the past couple of weigh ins because she or her dad might go home. Arthurs father said it best - "we are all going to go home at some point".0
