The Biggest Loser thread

So…the big “walk out."

Having seen it all play out I think it was really, really, REALLY childish.

I mean c’mon! They claim this has never been done to contestants this late in the game. Bull-schmidt!!! No…they just did not SPRING a twist on folks the last week but last season all the contestants had the opportunity to run a marathon and if an eliminated player one they were automatically in the finals. That is the epitome of 11^th hour. They didn’t get to find out until the very last minute who they were competing against.

And…sorry Kim…much as I love you…I didn’t appreciate the “I want to compete against those who deserve it" comment. How is that defined? Is a person who got double-crossed by Conda now somehow undeserving of competing? Is Emily undeserving of competing now, even though you fought hard for her to stay and said she was being eliminated simply because she was a threat?

I think they all just had a damn hissy fit and acted silly in my honest opinion. But the priceless moment…the ultimate priceless moment for me…was when the lawyer read to Jeremy where their contract STATED this WOULD happen. Not that it COULD but that it WOULD. And I agree with the lawyers. It’s not fair to the eliminated contestants, who signed the same contract, for them to reneg. So get over it.

But to me this just has a larger point, folks. Life sometimes pulls the rug from under you. It ain’t fair. Hell, I have learned that more in the last month than in my whole life. Sorry to get existential for a moment but it wasn’t fair to me that my mother got taken three days before what was SUPPOSED to be the celebration of my daughter’s 13^th birthday. Did I stomp away and refuse to participate? No! I carried on. I think Mark and Buddy showed extreme immaturity in that they left. Life happens. Unfair stuff happens. Sometimes the decks are stacked against you. And you deal. That’s what winners do. They deal.

(Sorry for the digression but that point really pissed me off. Do they know how many people would KILL to finish out the opportunity they walked away from??? And to me Buddy leaving was just total “I want to go home and I needed an excuse.")

S’anyway. Dear Biggest Loser: I know DVR is messing up your advertising sales but that commercial for the SUV was downright blatant. Let me write for you. I can do something MUCH more subtle. Call me, k?

As for the weigh-ins. Maaaaaaan…if it had been a Jeremy/Conda finale I would have kicked something. I am SO glad Kim made it through! Methinks the shutdown in production must have made the period of time more like two weeks cuz she did not lose 15 in one week I am sorry. That did not happen and TBL needs to not even make it look like it did. But still 15 lbs??? As small as she is??? That is still impressive. That. Is. My. GIRL!!!!

Next week looks exciting. Usually they have some touchy feel good event like the marathon to qualify someone back into something. It’s looking like they all just come back to the ranch, work out and let the scale decide. I like that plan better. 

If I had to bet on who will make it back I’d say it would be whatserface with the jacked up hair. She was sort of a soldier. No not dumb and dumberer (Adrian and his sister). They will prolly cause some drama though. Which is fine. It’s been curiously missing these last few weeks (even Conda has been acting human as of late) and frankly, drama was the 21^st contestant and I miss it like hell!!!

What’d you think?

 The 1st female to win Ali won her way back on the show....they should be scared LOL! I agree it was not one week how could Kim lose 15 lbs at that weight in a week? Show me Dolvette because the size I am you could make it 30lbs!

ok Buddy and Mark are just losers. I hope they can't go to finale and his son goes and Buddy's brother goes. Maybe one of them will win that at home prize. I think that when you go on a reality show they own you. You can't just try to change the rules this happens very season.

I still think Conda is a brat but I did notice something about Jeremy last night. He has beautiful blue eyes. He is going to be a cutie pie with that personality and he is going to have all the ladies loving him!

I can't wait to see who comes back next week. I really don't care about this season anymore I want to get to finale see Kim win and move onto next year. Why aren't they having a Fall BL anyone know? Is it the Olympics?

What??? You mean no more Dolvett...er...Biggest Loser until next year???

I don't think I can handle that. 

Jeremy is a cutie pie. He's no Sam but he has a little something-something going on.

Kim...what a difference! Her before video she is just so damn different. The whole shape of her head is different. 

 My husband was shocked when he saw her before video. 
I am still trying to confirm no BL next season I keep seeing it on FB and blogs but no one from the network or show has said anything that I have seen. 
Oh Sam he is a hottie! Him and Stephanie are so cute together.
Have you ever tried out? I did 2 years ago and I thank God I didn't get picked people tear his show apart I don't think I could take the stress! 

No...four years ago my stepsister was on Survivor (Gabon) and I saw how the interwebz treated her. Reality tv is definitely NOT in my future. 

I have been half watching since Dancing with the Stars started.  I have to support my man Donald Driver.
There was too much drama for me at the beginning of the season too.  I would tune in mainly to see Mr. D.  Yummo.

Thanks for the update on what happened last night.

This season SUCKS.  They truly picked the people that were full of excuses and they have used those excuses week after week after week.  I stopped watching a few weeks back.  Now I need to go to NBC.com and see if I can fid this episode and watch because it sounds interesting.  They actually caused the show to stop production?  Has that ever happened before?  I'm beating the lawyers are going to tighten up those contracts and mae them iron clad now.

 Oh I think the contracts were already iron clad, but I think folks have opt-out clauses. And really in this type of show you have to. But I'm also willing to bet that if they opt out they don't get any of the perks that contestants who are voted out get. They don't get the same opportunities. They basically are severing their relationship with TBL. Which in the long run seems REALLY stupid to me. There's a lot that goes on after the show (job opportunities, franchise stuff) that could be beneficial after the show.

wow
I jus****ched online and I wanted to smack them in the head. I can't stand liars and quitters. This was blatant crybaby, didn't get my way so I'm taking my toys and going home.
I never liked Buddy even a little bit, so good riddance.

Sure hated to see Jeremy go.

 I think he would have been eliminated anyway so it's probably all good. 

But I love Bob's WTF reaction. When Bob starts to talk and opens his mouth and nothing comes out...he is PISSED.
