He is lazy and taking up valuable space. I hope he proves me wrong!<br />This is the most uninteresting group they have ever had - it seems that Bob & Jullian look for personality problems! so thanks!<br /><br />Bay BabeBayBabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12175112991117682212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-10658403842215995932010-01-24T14:57:39.523-05:002010-01-24T14:57:39.523-05:00I am disgusted with the red team's gameplay an...I am disgusted with the red team's gameplay and attitude.

I ...I'm having trouble with this season of TBL. I have always been mildly annoyed by the product placement commercials especially when they are flat out stupid! I'm annoyed now that the wrap they were putting on John's leg is completely different than the one in my Walgreens or Walgreens.com. Sometimes I just want to scream "Hey not all big people are on TV but the rest of us need stuff too! Including ice packs for our swollen knees!" And I have informed my husband that if he wants to live he will NEVER suggest Extra SF gum when I want a candy bar or cookie! But that's not my issue ...<br /><br />If I went on TBL (which I never will) I could give Shay a run for the money as biggest woman. I'm not proud of this fact but it is my reality. I lost almost 200 pounds a few years ago and I have relocated, and replaced, every ounce! Now my knees are screaming for relief and I know that if I don't make some big changes NOW ... I will be permanently handicapped by my morbid obesity and loss of mobility. I don't want to go there but it is the track that I'm on. So I GET all these "you have to fix the insides" speeches. And I feel the peoples pain. I share their hopes that my children will not walk this path and Jillians fear that of course they will. I want to look in a mirror and not cringe. I want to shop in a regular clothing store. I understand the lack of desire for intimacy because I am ashamed of my body. I understand believing that the only thing most people see in me is my body. There are few that will look past the fat to find my heart. Anyway ... every time they do one of these "Dr. Phillian" moments I hold my breath and hope they will share the secret. But it never happens. And on the retro show I would say that a majority of the ex-contestants had gained some of the weight back. And I guess they're still looking for the secret too! I wish I could figure it out because I don't have it in me to fight this battle more than this next one more time. This time I need to win the war. But the enemy isn't playing fair if he won't reveal all his players! :(Bethhttp://bethaworkinprogress.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-73044361857393591842010-01-20T19:45:05.861-05:002010-01-20T19:45:05.861-05:00I suspect the woman on the red team threw both wei...I suspect the woman on the red team threw both weigh-ins because they were in no danger of going home either week and she saw that as her best chance of staying on the ranch longer. Let's face it: next to the other contestants, she hardly looks like she belongs there. Her time is limited. That said, she should just be honest about it. The game play plus the lying about it have really turned me off of that team. <br /><br />While it seemed like Green team didn't get what Jillian and Bob were saying while Bob was "closing the deal," later Miggy talked to Migdalia about the same issues. But she waited until her daughter had had time to calm down and was more receptive to the message. So maybe there's hope there.<br /><br />Love that the Tongans seem to be there for all the right reasons!<br /><br />*hmmm, my word verification is "foodhet"Marine Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464082946014198195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-86788172223570153302010-01-20T16:55:54.618-05:002010-01-20T16:55:54.618-05:00I really liked the green team in the beginning but...I really liked the green team in the beginning but I agree with you that I would like to see Blue or Yellow in their place. <br /><br />I like the red team but I really wish that they would be honest about playing the game. I didn't see that she lost 28lbs next week so I was thinking that if she was serious about not playing the game they needed to get this girl some medical attention because she has something seriously wrong with her to not lose any weight in 2 weeks if she was honestly trying her best.Jessica McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248720459187736707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-73139119516376852682010-01-20T15:30:51.169-05:002010-01-20T15:30:51.169-05:00Finally able to catch up with your comments - as a...Finally able to catch up with your comments - as always bang on.<br /><br />Lets talk about product placement for a minute - can we? Didja get the feeling that Bob and Jillian said "enough" - can't remember seeing them do one. Although during the coversation with Miggy - she kept chawing the gum and I was sure I was going to hear Bob mention the best way to deal with stress (and conquering hunger) is Equal Sugarles Gum - or whatever it is.<br /><br />Not liking Red team - looked like Lance was going to kill Bob and Jillian - total respect for grey. Hoping they don't turn silly like (crap can't remember the other Tonga cousins - old-timers disease)<br /><br />Thanks AmyJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563699438451685394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-54901397115765802112010-01-20T15:14:02.262-05:002010-01-20T15:14:02.262-05:00I was so happy to get online and find your opinion...I was so happy to get online and find your opinion of the show! I love coming here and seeing your thoughts and comparing them to mine. I do think Melissa threw both weigh ins because her weight didn't matter. I did miss the preview part about the 28 lbs next week...I am bummed about that. My opinion about her is that she is there for the money and her husband is there to lose weight. Sucks to be her when they go to singles LOL Not that I expect her to last that long or anything. The whole issue with green team has me up in air. I think that everything Jillian said made sense. And I dont think that they understand. Never one did Jillian say she was a bad parent. She was just being honest. You are your childrens role model. And if you are over weight it is more likely to happen to them. I look at me, and my mom ( also overweight) and then I look at my daughter...I am sad to say that at 7 1/2 she is 98 lbs. That is changing this year. This is the year our family gets healthy. Anyways, now that I rambled on...Thank you for your wonderful summary of the show each week!!<br />SaraSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904625190884803386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-56346395909690520632010-01-20T14:01:46.661-05:002010-01-20T14:01:46.661-05:00I tend to clean house (at least pick up) and watch...I tend to clean house (at least pick up) and watch at the same time.<br /><br />I can't decide if I like the red team or not. I did like their attitude at the challange - they just laughed when they found out they would have to untangle their own ribbon. Good attitude. Starting out mad/frustrated/etc. isn't the way to get to win a challange.Janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-44294379450271412842010-01-20T11:59:32.976-05:002010-01-20T11:59:32.976-05:00I'm finding myself fast-forwarding through the...I'm finding myself fast-forwarding through the Biggest Loser more & more & more. The product placements, the crying, the pseudo-psychology... it's really distracting from the encouragement I used to get from it. I can usually watch an episode in 20 minutes.<br /><br />The game players are just annoying. Doing it once is one thing, but twice? Why is she trying to alienate her trainers? So dumb.<br /><br />I agree with the commentator who said Michael is immature. I hope he'll be there for a few more weeks at least, to cut those strings & do something on his own.<br /><br />Healing the inside IS important. It's how they got to this place. But it should be done by a real psychiatrist, not Jillian and Bob trying to manufacture drama. That's just damaging. You can really see that this week with Migdalia, how she was so offended by Jillian's prodding, and rightly so. What I read from the Migs? "Quit trying to screw with us." Good for them. I would be SO frustrated and angry if I were them.Wendyhttp://www.domestiquette.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-82512426997502920292010-01-20T09:21:52.313-05:002010-01-20T09:21:52.313-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-1144380709039665542010-01-20T08:56:49.765-05:002010-01-20T08:56:49.765-05:00Thanks Amy!

I haven't seen these gals in 37 years!! Anyway, I missed the episode.<br /><br />I agree with Jenny, Michael seems really immature... coddled by Mommy all these years probably.<br /><br />Not liking Red Team either. I don't understand the reasoning behind Melissa throwing the weigh-in if Lance was going to be the one weighing in. UNLESS they did it for next week!<br /><br />I haven't had any feelings about any of the others yet. I thought Green was going to be good, but after reading your post, I'm not sure.Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-37106019954096104292010-01-20T08:07:33.139-05:002010-01-20T08:07:33.139-05:00Thank you for providing a recap!

Last night I missed segments due to the election in Massachusetts. <br /><br />Maybe it's a matter of editing, but I just don't see Michael's head in the game. He seems very immature in comparison to the other young guys on the show (Like Daniel's friend two seasons ago)<br />Very good suggestion about the green team, they're another one just going through the motions. <br />Still not sure if I have a favorite yet.Jenny McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260376064122225845noreply@blogger.com
