Biggest Loser "Couples"

I havent gotten to watch this weeks yet....its on the DVR though...just wanted to put my two cents in hehehe Im rooting for the blue team, Brittney and Bernie...I guess its the romantic in me lol I wanna see them announce on the finale they are engaged (they are both single as far as I can tell)
 
I was so glad to see Neill go. I was hoping by some twist of fate they would spare Amanda in a BL first... but nope. He was a whiner and a slacker. She looked really good in her after! He didn't seem to make much progress.
 
I really hope the mother & son make it far. I think the son will look completely different. Cant wait for the reunion show at the end! haha :rolleyes:

I felt bad for Amanda, but it looks like when they got home, they continued to lose. I'm glad the purple team gets to hang in there. I feel their pain, they are losing very slowly, must be frustrating for them.
 
C'mon. Leave Neill alone. Not everyone is physically or mentally equipped to do hours and hours of exercise. I don't think most people could do those long intense workouts.
 
I don't think Neil is READY to really loose the weight. His heart isn't in it. As far as the hours of intense work out - it's not that bad when you are in a group and doing it. What the BL contestants go through is not so different from Basic Training. Well, I take that back, it's a darn sight better LOL. I still remember pushing up Ft. Jackson, South Carolina, and all the grass and gurilla drills we did, and PT twice a day, and running everywhere and marching ... that was non-stop :p

Tell ya what, I wouldn't mind a fitness Basic Training camp again. There's an amazing synergy that occures in a focused group scenario.

Interestingly enough....

Though motivationally speaking, Neil is somewhat hurting (at least in the context of the show), the dude IS losing weight..... He may not be making Biggest Loser record breaking weight losses like some do, but I wouldn't mind doing as poorly as he was doing in those weeks.... I could see everyone hurting on him for causing them to work more, but in fact they should be thanking him really. Every extra 5 minutes he cost them of extra reps was 5 minutes closer to their own goals too in the long run.

I have a feeling Neil is going to be shocker at the finale. I think he knows full well how poorly everyone obviously thinks of him and is going to use that as motivation to get in good shape for the final show. He may have not performed for the camera, but I really think he will surprise everyone at the end. I think some people really can never get used to having someone else dictate their goals for them. I used to be one of those people, thinking I could only ever find success by having someone force me to find it. But maybe, just maybe, he will not only do alright, but excel on the outside.......

Mark my words, Neil may not win the eliminated contestants prize, but I think he will put in a very good showing by the end...

WOW... i cant believe this twist tonight..its crazy!!! I'm proud of the yellow team for making it, but mad about the other twist with the black team...ans the pink team for going home, i wanted them to stay!! I think the purple team needs to go home, that is good here in the "real world" but at there at the campus its just not good! They need to up there game...ohh and the orange team wanted balck off so bad that they didnt pull big numbers for them and it came to bit them in the ass....ohh well, there still there..... The pink team looked so good in their after pics!!! cant until next week!
 
What was up with Kelly blathering on and on. I love it how Bette-Sue was like, "we've heard enough!" They did great at home. I'm sorry to see them go, they really tried hard the entire time and didn't resort to game playing. I think the purple team should've gone. They haven't pulled decent numbers at all yet.
 
Personally I must be a hypocrite, when Neil did it last season (water/gameplay) I was so pissed off. But when the orange team did it, I was ok with it. Mainly because the producers are turning it into a game now (ALL VS ONE, stupid bullshit and personally detracts from the real goals of the show).

Since it is now a game, I don't think the PINK team should be pissed or anyone else for that matter. They all loved being against the YELLOW team and it was ok for them to be on the chopping block like that, but when things backfired and their necks were on the line it was dramatic and worthy of tears a plenty. Kelly was sobbing about how she doesn't know if she can do it at home... well than you DON'T DESERVE it. Plain and simple to me... I know I sound like a dick for judging her but I can only comment on what I saw and heard. I am actually REALLY happy for her that she can do it at home... but please, don't say you can't control willpower and make changes in your life and then blame someone else for ruining your goals.
 
:seeya:OMGosh, I laughed my head off last week when they kept showing that chunky bald guy in his ju-jitsu (or whatever) outfit! It was hilarious, because they totally played it up, banging the gong, etc. But I must say, he totally rocked the joint, especially running on the balance beam over the pool! I find his relationship with is ex to be the most interesting part of the show, and I really hope they win. His body language says strongly that he is still in love with her, but he comes across as a fella who would be pretty dang hard to live with...

I was sorry to see Pink team go home, but love that their time there actually helped to heal their relationship!

I cannot believe the the PURPLE gals work at a FAT CAMP!!! That is just too much. They don't seem quite as committed to losing, and they may go home next.

I also think GREY is holding back! Those former athletes are a force to be reckoned with!

Happy losing
ABBA
 
Wow tonight was pretty harsh - ya think Bob is gunning for Jillian in a personal way? Half of purple is gone now.

I was surprised that Kathy's ex (gad, I can't remember his name) was so stupid as to drop his calories as low as 500 or 600 a day. I hope Jillian beats him upside the head for it. I agree with her, they are all messing up with their intake and it's why their numbers have been so bad.

God Bless,

I just caught up on my Tivoed episodes of BL. I never used to like Jillian but I am really really liking her this season. I mean I'm not into women but shiat she's been looking hot lately LOL.

I am so pissed at Bob for picking all men, except the token woman he got. I almost wonder if this was set up by the producers so they can have this underdog competition thing going on. Damn entertaining though! I was so hoping the girls would win, but I started to realize it just wasn't going to happen. I just wish for once they would have women compete only with women and vice versa. Its a fact that men lose weight quicker and are also better at most athletics (challenges) than women. I'm a strong woman, but come on, nature is nature and they're the bigger and stronger (but dumber he he) sex. And they seem to be able to damn well take weight off like nobody's business with the hormonal systems they have. Rant Over! ha ha

I agree that the relationship on the yellow team is very interesting. I was so disappointed when the ex-H said he missed his girlfriend at home (on the show where they didn't take the letters). I want him and his ex wife to get back together! Dunno why but its so romantic to me.

Biggest shocker, but a real confirmation for those of us around the board who are proponents of eating healthy and are against restrictive calorie cutting, was when the ex-H said he only had 600 calories a day and he put on 3 lbs. Its not always abut motivation, him being highly motivated to the point where he starved himself. And its not always about just cutting and cutting calories, at some point that doesn't work unless you can keep it up like an anorexic (of course after weeks and months of severe restriction you will lose all your fat). But who can keep up the starvation thing for more than a few days or weeks before the body is demanding to be fed properly (and of course goes overboard and right back to old/bad habits).
 
I dunno, for a man his size to gain 3 pounds after all that working out? It really doesn't jive for me. He should've at least remained status quo. I bet he threw it with some water drinking. This is a game after all. He's in it to win it. I wish Kelly would go. Her voice and all that crying was just so darn irritating to me last night. In the end, they made a good choice. Jenn was just not pulling good numbers.
 
I think he just didnt eat as much, and when he did, he ate more than usual throwing off his metabolism. You could be right about drinking water though, someone did that in the last show. I cant remember his name, but it worked cause he ended up losing a bunc of weight on the next weigh in.
 
Does anyone know where we can find out the heights of the competitors? I was just catching up on the last BL and Jenn's 'now' photos really look big for 201 lbs. She must be REALLY short.
 
James - Neil from last season water loaded right before a weigh in and put on something like 17 pounds (or close to it) in order to get the cowboy dude voted off. It was very under handed.

Kelly reminds me a lot of a friend of mine, so I don't feel she is so terribly annoying. I can see why she and Paul did NOT make a good match as a married couple though ;p He needs someone who can tell him to stick it once in a while. I think Kelly was ready to be voted off in order to keep Paul there.

I know that Bob has stacked the deck in his favor, but I really hope that Jillian can pull out an under dog miracle and we see some amazing numbers from the black team in the next few weeks.

God Bless,
