FTA-TV The Biggest Loser

[Kahuna]

I actually like this show, yes it is a little cheesey but I reckon it is good value.

The competition is starting to heat up with only 7 people left. I am hoping Shaun and Andrew start racking up the numbers as I don't want any of the "alliance" to win it, seriously they all piss me off so much.

Sheriff looked like a fit bastard on his post elimination video.

Anyone else a fan?

I have been watching this season the whole way through. Started off liking Nathan and Andrew but then they played the game way too early and too much and the whole Alpha male thing annoyed me. Liked Meghan from the start because I identified her as the one who would look hottest by the end and Nathan singled her out a bit but the alliance thing sucks as it is made up of the weakest players by and large. Sharif is a legend, smart smart man and a hard worker and will win the 'best of the rest' weigh in.

Not happy that Nathan has another lifeline but am glad for Bob. Would be happy for him to win.

Prediction: Final 4 will be 4 alliance members. Bob to beat out Nathan (although this could go either way as they both started with the Commando about 5kg apart. Julie because everyone likes her, probably Cam and Sam because they have numbers.

Next week I expect Sean to go simply because he has no more weight to lose. Needed to space it out a bit more. Andrew won't be far away for the same reasons and sooner rather than later we will get two alliance girls under the yellow line and one will have to get voted out. If it is Meghan and Tiff, then Tiff will go, Meghan and Sam, then Meghan will go.

I am really hoping that a weak worker does not win it. So glad Nathan or Bob are in the finale although nobody has lost weight working with the Commando this season.

I don't know how anyone can stand that chick trainer.

 

[Kahuna]

I do find it a little ironic that Shaun and Andrew now will have to work together to stay under the yellow line. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone returned and join Shaun and Andrew creating another side to the game. I don't think any of the "alliance" really stand a chance of winning if they get to the final. The don't have enough weight to lose and they don't work hard enough to lose it, I think either Bob or Nathan will end up winning it.

I think the Commando's workouts are probably going to help them tone up rather than lose weight, this could position them nicely come the finale.

Hopefully Tiff or Sam goes next week.

Has the bloke from the Eagles cheer squad been on yet?

 

[Xtreme]

Havn't liked it that much this year, it's funny the amount of editing that went on, i thought the 'alliance' were the good guys - Nathan, Andrew, Shaun, Shariff the bad guys..... the last week and a bit with the emergence of the alliance - it's clear that the others (especially Nathan) were only acting that way to sure themselves a spot.

Spoiler

Final 4 is supposedly Bob, Tiff, Sam & Shariff (who gets back in during the eliminated contestants returning episode)

 

[DirrtyBee]

Wow at Shariff at the end of last nights show... WOW!

 

[damochandler]

i havent watched it and i never will. the problem i have is. why would go on tv to try and lose weight and channel 10 exploiting these people for it as well. why wouldnt you try and lose weight at home in your own privacy

 

[Kahuna]

They just can't, too much temptation for them in the real world. Wouldn't be surprised if Tiff, Sam and Meaghan started eating again on the real world, they I doubt their dedication. I am starting to hope Bob wins now, I think he will win out of the two on the island.

Sheriff is a tank, wouldn't want to mess with him.

added meaghan on facebook, she was looking hot as in her skinny photos but took them down (for breaching contract or something)

At home you dont get the chance to win 250,000 or however much. That's why I dont buy into the "I'm only here to lose weight not for the money" if they were serious theyd join a gym or something.

Joining a gym isn't the answer to start losing weight, unless you are very strong willed and supported at home. On Biggest Loser, they are completely immersed in weight loss and exercise. They are trained in correct nutrition to the point where their knowledge helps them win challenges. They can't go out and buy takeaway, they can't sneak to the kitchen and woof down some fried chicken, they don't have that stuff in the BL kitchen.

They got into that position because they could not sustain a diet, could not motivate themselves to exercise. BF is 24/7 motivation and hard work.

Knowing you are being watched by millions of people would also give you motivation not to fail I suspect.

Did anyone notice that in yesterdays episode Meaghan said the word 'alliance' about 400 times in the space of 5 minutes. Hopefully she is gone this week so we can see her 'alliance' start to crumble.

 

[likka]

Almost as many times as she asked her "alliance" to throw the challenge.

God I hope her and another of her "alliance" are up for eviction this week.

 

[Little Jerry]

Looks like the alliance has had another victory

 

[Kahuna]

Hard to see how Cam can't be the weekly biggest loser from now on considering he is a whale compared to the rest of them still.

I reckon they will vote Andrew off this week and bank on Shaun falling under the line again next week as he has little weight to lose.

 

[THRILLHO]

This show is a big-time favourite in my house even though we all laugh at how cheesey and cringe-worthy at times it is. And, added to that, it moves so slowly, with ad-breaks strategically placed at every point where something is about to be revealed. Then, when they come back from commercial, they spend three minutes reiterating what happened before the ad. Still love it though.

Cameron is peaking, still has huge amounts of weight to lose, Sean has had his dash, he's almost at goal. Im hoping that somehow both Bob and Nathan sneak into the final. Bob is a weight-loss machine, punching out a nine this week.

 

[Little Jerry]

Nathan knows he has no chance of beating Bob for that place in the finale.

 

[THRILLHO]

It's on a weight-loss percentage Id imagine, but the figures still dont look good. It'd be nice if Bob won it. He's currently the biggest loser and itd be nice if he got up because I dont think Ive heard him say anything negative all series.

 

[Kahuna]

Totally agree with your Thrillho, I hate how the place at ad breaks just when something good is about to happen and when they return they have to replay it.

I think Bob will beat Nathan by a bucket load, Nathan Sean and Andrew lost way too much weight early on and now can't get the numbers to win.

Doesn't get any cheesier than the promos using The Korgi's 'Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime'...

Got to the point in the show where I really don't like many of the contestants left in the show.

With Andrew gone Sammy and Tiffany are probably the only two that don't shit me to tears.

In previous years they have brought back eliminated contestants before the finale, but this year with Bob and Nathan on Fitzroy Island this may not happen.

We should start a petition to reinstate Sharif asap! The sooner Megan, Julie and Cam are gone the better.

Don't worry the eliminated contestants will be returning.

Why is this crap on TV?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Why is this crap on TV?

Because someone pointed a camera at it, a network bought it and a network aired it. It's not so hard is it?

Why would you single this out amongst the other crap on TV and do you think there is any shows you like that other people consider crap?
