Biggest Loser-New Season!!

[angels]

Jillian left because she wanted to be more focused on adopting a child.

I didn't much care for Daphne but I wish her all the luck in the world on her continued weight loss success. I don't like the food Challenges either!! but I understand them. It's a way to see if they can be tempted or if they are emoctionally strong enough to say no.They cheat themself when they eat at the Challenge.

As far as the contestants doing a protest? They need to pull up their big girl and boy pants and get over themselves. They was ALL apart of the show no matter if they was on one week or they was on all weeks and no where in the contract does it say they won't have twist or bring back others that have already went home. If they had ever watched the show they know there is going to be twist and that the show often has big changes and twist including having Viewers vote who was going to be on the show and who was going to make it to the final.

Matter of fact in the past there has been a person or two come back later in the game . Ofcource there is going to be twist it brings drama into the show! They should of allowed them to walk off and bring back all the ones sent home and let them finish the game out. NOW that would of been a twist and would of taught future contestants a leason. You can not throw a fit like a little kid and get your way.

I've seen a copy of one of the contracts they sign.The contract they sign says that there can be twist including but not limited to bringing back contestants that are already at home, having contestants come on that have been playing the show in secret ( at home) ,bring in a whole new group of new contestants , having contestants Play the game at other locations in secret until the end, they can ask any contestant to leave the show for ANY reason at ANYTIME and ask someone back at anytime for any reason etc. They knew the risk when they signed the contract that twist could ( and do happen). ( This is not the exact words but they are made fully aware of twist including new ones never done on the show).

There is people that would give anything in the world to be on the biggest loser no matter what twist may happen. These contestants are lucky enough to be getting the help and training that Millions don't have and millions pray for and on top of it a chance at winning a life changing amount of money. Not to mention that these contestants are able to see a great Dr. that runs the latest, newest and best test that can be ran on anyone to make sure they don't have life threatening health issues and if they do have life threatening health issues they are given the best medical treatment a person can receive all for free.

So yes they go on the show knowing a twist can happen I mean I'm sure they have watched past shows! They need to remember how lucky they are to be given the chance of a life time. Not to mention all the stuff they win while on the show and being paid for commercials etc after off the show. Many Many that are on the show have their lives changed for the better by being on the show and after the show they get better job offers , are more healthy and get help they need in other parts of their lives.

This years season is the season of no excuses that includes giving up because you don't like the twist. AH! The show has been so boring to me this year so maybe the drama from this will do the show good LOL!

Personally I hope they do bring some contestants back as there is some that was voted off for the wrong reasons IMO I'd love love if they would evently have a twist where the viewers vote for who stays and goes every week or the trainers vote on how hard they think someone is working to change their lives. Take it out of the contestants hands and there would be less going home just because someone does not like them.
Ok Off my soap box ha ha !

This was said at first. And she went on over to another show, "The Doctors", so it couldn't have been the only reason.

I read an interview where she talked about all the editing that takes place in the show and all the important stuff that is cut out just to get to the drama. She was not happy that it happened more and more each season until it was all about the drama, the challenges, and "the game". I can't find that article now, but here is one with ET where she goes into it a little bit:

ET: Both shows really allow you to make a difference – but do you prefer one to the other?
Michaels: I find The Doctors to be slightly more rewarding. Biggest Loser was great, but it was not a show about information. It was a show about entertainment and that was kind of frustrating. On The Doctors I’m able to impart information that’s gonna be accessible for the masses. People will be able to watch and take away lessons that will genuinely improve the quality of their lives. It’s the main reason I wanted to be in daytime instead of primetime.

From Tmz on the walkout .....wonder who the two are, I'm sure one is Conda

The "Biggest Loser" has trimmed some serious fat ... TMZ has learned TWO of the contestants who walked off the set this week have been cut loose for good ... and the show will continue without them.

TMZ has obtained photos taken today at the "Loser" ranch ... where production has resumed following a mass mutiny this week. TMZ broke the story ... several competitors stormed off the show in protest after getting word about a possible game "twist" that would give previously eliminated losers a shot at the $250k prize.

Sources connected to the show tell us ... producers are considering using the mutiny as a story point.

NBC is still refusing to comment on the situation

saying you left to start a family or to spend more time with family is what is most often is said when stars leave sports or tv shows wanting $$

[queencityfan]

Hi Zoom and Angels!

Glad to see we're not the only Biggest Loser Fans.....

I say bring back the yellow line, I have about enough of the temptations and pound rewards.

For those who walked out I say don't let the door hit you on the A#S$#$.

I miss Jillian but I really like Dolvett, seems like Bob is getting a little worn out dealing with the stress and you can tell Allison just wants to give them heck for the game playing....

Conda really has this group snowed, since when does a 23 year old get to boss around people old enough to be her parents, she has no respect for anyone and really should have been gone long ago. And don't get me started on Pastor Mark, he is just as bad as Kim and Conda, maybe worse, he's older and should know better.

It almost looks like anyone is afraid to speak up to her bullying, Emily wants to but can't seem to bring herself to, I mean who would want Conda going after them after seeing how she dealt with Adrian and Daphne.

Ok, just read that TMZ said 2 people were cut from the show after the walkout, the plot thickens!

I hope the two who got the boot are Conda and Mark.

Yeah but I doubt Conda and Mark would walk out. Those two are all about the game. I'm thinking Santa's wife (keep forgetting her name) might be one of them that walks out.

Yes I agree with you, but Conda was so against Adrien who won his way back after a month, it wouldn't surprise me if she is one of the walkers, but you are probably right. I just wish it would be her as she and Kim have more or less spoiled the show for me, used to enjoy watching and now I just keep hoping it gets better, still watch but sometimes don't really pay attention until the end

Absolutely agree. Kim is guilty too. She is way too much about turning it into an Olympic competition, instead of supporting other people who also are saving their own lives. I find it sad when people are so unhappy or bitter that they can't even support others.

Totally agree about Kim This season's contestants don't seem to want to help and support one another. Previous seasons most contestants helped each other to be successful. This year it seems to be about the prize, are times that tough that people are putting $$$$ ahead of getting healthy ?

[LucyE]

Wow was surprised to see that Chizm was the one that left. Now it makes sense why people were saying Mark was the one who walked out. He doesn't have much more to go, he seems to be the skinniest one there!
I'm glad that Kim was one of the ones without immunity, hopefully that opened her eyes a little.

[LucyE]

Ok, finally saw Tuesday's episode, where Emily was eliminated. Glad to see that she is working on her confidence. And wow can she belt it out!!

[Pipermurphy]

With Emily gone I could care less about any of the ones left. They are all whinners, can't find any redeeming characteristics. This year has been painful.

I would love to see next year with a red line every week. No voting, you are in last you are out.

[LucyE]

I'm glad to see that both Kimmy and her daughter were below the yellow line last night.

I thought it was real nice of Mark to go talk to Kim and give her some support.
