Biggest Loser Fall 09

I still like Daniel too, it just bugs me in general when people lie, even when they are caught in one. Green team is my favorite right now and orange falls next. My favorites have been know to change throughout the season though, so we'll see...

Kinda surprised me about Daniel too. Really like Green team thus far. Still early days. Coach Mo is from nearby here, am hoping to see better things from him.

A side note, when I weigh in each week, if I have a week where I gain a pound, my husband will say, "but at least you didn´t fall below the yellow line!" That´s the good thing about LAP-BAND® surgery, we never get voted off =)

Tracy is an odd person, but at least she is honest about her game play. Every week when they talk about "who NEEDS to be here" I just want to vomit.....It's a reality show! It's a game! Are you kidding me? As much as I didn't care for Julio, they should have gotten rid of the brown team because it was 2 people.

The one who annoys me the most is Dan's partner. She gets by because she is the fattest? What kind of logic is that? They all have to go home sooner or later! She has so many opinions about every one else, but she was the FIRST one to wimp out!

I did like that Jillian and Bob told Tracy that game players gain their weight back. They do. Just look at Eric and some of the others. They got their money and then gained a ton of weight.

P.S. Thanks for the articles about Helen and Dan's mom. I enjoyed getting the follow up. I expected Helen to gain some weight. I was thrilled she won, but she was looking too small!

Well, wonder what tonight's show will bring?

I agree it is a game, but I'm more interested in the nutrition aspect of it, and the training. I wish they would show more of the meal plans, the routines they do etc. They show some, but I am wondering exactly HOW much exercise they do? How many hours? How much cardio vs strength training?

I still enjoy the show, but I do agree, this season is just a little boring....but it might pick up some as the season goes on.

I agree with you Sunshine, this season is a bit boring!!!

hopeinapril · 10-13-2009, 05:55 PM

I have heard interviews and they work out a lot. They work out 5-6 hours a day. That is why they lose the amount of weight they do. When they get back to "real" life it is hard to keep that up! Some do. Some don't.

I'm glad some of the recent winners are keeping their weight off. There for a while a lot of them were gaining of lot of the weight back!

Me too! Alli looks GREAT!! She looks HEALTHY too! They usually look too thin at the finale, so I'm glad that some gain a little back.

Wow it took me forever to find this thread ...I kept watching the old one and nothing......

I CAN'T believe I have to listen to Tracey for another week...but I will I'm totally addicted to the show. I'd love to know how shes dropping such big numbers as restricted as they've had her hmmmm

georgia girl · 10-13-2009, 11:51 PM

WOW, didn't see that coming! I thought for sure Tracy would be gone...

Did anyone else catch the comment Coach Mo made about not knowing that there was prize money for winning TBL?? If he has EVER watched TBL, he had to know about the prize money! I find that VERY hard to believe!!

But, he did throw himself under the bus tonight, so who knows? I wanted to reach through the TV and slap him for doing that! I don't get it! He must have been under Tracys spell! LOL

GO BLACK!! Jillian always gets the underdogs and they always seem to come out on top!

She is able to swim and swimming burns MAJOR calories. They hardly ever show anyone in the pool, unless they are injured. I would think they would make swimming a part of their regular routine...

Just a couple of quick comments:

1) The other players love to hate on Tracy, but each and every one of them with the exception of Abby wanted the power, and they would have -all- done the same thing. Sour grapes syndrome seems to be rampant among this particular group of Losers.

2) I think a lot of these folks are losing the majority of their weight via tears. Seriously, what's with the blubbering this season? Did they producers go looking for emotionally unstable folks, or are they being fed a steady diet of Lifetime TV?

3) Anyone who has watched this show would not have picked BOB as their trainer. Silly Tracy, nobody from the Cult of Bob ever -wins- this game. Then again, Lady Popeye doesn't seem to bright.

4) There's some really weird vibes coming out of the former Brown team. Those two are each married, aren't they?

5) To quote another forum, "Shut Up, Shay." I'm so tired of the crackbaby whining or whatever her story may be. I just tune out and hear <whinewhinewhine life's hard I'm fat pity me whinewhinewhine>

Hello fellow biggest loser fans

I love this show. I record it so that I can fast forward through the commercials and the Drama.

I wish they would show a lot more of the exercise and nutrition. I think they are working out 4 to 6 hours per day. Watching more of that would be lots more interesting than crying and whinning

Does anyone know how they deal with the soreness each day? Hot Tub? Massages? Advil?

I do my ellptical while I watch. Great inspiration.

Good Journey All

I can't believe they didn't vote that b*#ch off when they had the chance. Her phony crying drives me crazy. And I can't believe she won the right to choose the teams. It seems like a fix. I wouldn't be surprised if she was taking some type of diet pills to help her weight loss. I thought she wasn't even allowed to swim. I can't feel sorry for anyone on the blue team if Tracy pulls any more of her stunts on them.

She wasn't allowed to do anything at first, but it showed a clip of her in the pool, so I assume she is swimming now. I dunno though.

I think Tracey is crazy, but I lost is when she said "This isn't kindergarten. It's not like I stole your crayons or something!" when everyone was sobbinbg about the teams being split up!
I will give her props she knows how to play the game. That is why she is there and she makes no bones about it!
Saying all that I still can't stand her or for that matter Shay, Rebecca or Amanda..all they do is cry and bit@h!
My fave is Abby! Then Daniel.
