Biggest Loser Chat (Spoilers)

Mixed reviews from me.

First and foremost, I have to share my BL watching routine, 'cause I'm so darned proud. I have a love/hate relationship with my Nordic Trac. I decided this year to keep us from turning to pure hate, I would NT during any "must see" show. This includes BL. I hate the commercials, so I cue Core Max for the commercials (the NT is so boring after 10+ years I can't do it on commercials even) and flip to Cathe. That gives me a full hour of sweaty fun!

Anyway.......
I thought that the ball throwing thing was a big fat waste of time. I missed when they cut back - did Suzy throw one?

Suzy was on FIRE. I guess those tears took off some weight. She just might win it? She worked so hard - did you see her cheekbones are starting to pop out??????

I don't know how I feel about Jillian hugging Matt like that - she kind of hangs on him at times. But I did love how she pulls Dr. Jeff aside every time. He seems like a really nice guy and she takes good care of him.

Bob and Shannon's little spat! Yuck.

Matt's hair - he is turning into quite the looker! But gaining 12 POUNDS. I saw that steak and heaven only knows what else he ate. Remember a couple of weeks ago he was eating in the middle of the night. But 12 pounds? He had only won the challenge the day before. Just doesn't make sense. Unless me was cheating all week? I am pretty good at gaining weight...but I can't put on that much in a week!

I was a little shocked at the 12 pounds as well. I mean, I'm assuming most of it is water weight, but 12 pounds of water weight. I would think he must have been eating a ton of food all week long to gain that much. I'm so glad he cut his hair! He looks so much better.

It's really amazing when they show the pictures of them from the beginning of the show, to see how great they all look now. It's amazing how much weight they lose in the faces. Shannon looks great now! They are all doing so well! I have to wonder though if Matt will be able to handle the food pressure once out in the real world!

I missed Matts weigh in! I was at work and I must have left the t.v for a minute.I saw everyone elses and I was so happy for Dr.Jeff (I really like him).Makes ya wonder how matt is going to do in the "real world" b/c if he is making choices to eat crap and not workout already, when he is probably at the highest of motivation...he is in for a rough road. How did he take the weight gain? Did he walk out or start crying?
I think Suzy or Dr.Jeff is gonna win this.I think Andrea is next to go.
It didn't show Suzt throwing a ball b/c she wouldn't give in to the m&m's I think.
Shannon looked really good at the end...and boy, she needs to motivate her family.She said on one episode that her family was over weight and she wasn't lying!

Hi Melissa!

I liked hearing about your NT routine with TV watching..I say...GOOD FOR YOU!!

I agree with you...Suzy just might win it!! And I do believe she is losing water weight with all those tears. I just might have to try that...haha.

I COULD NOT believe Matt gained 12 lbs. either. I was so disappointed that he took that strategy. My DH said it's just a strategy, but I disagreed with him as I feel by doing that he is going against everything they are learning and trying to accomplish. No matter what...there is no way I would suggest that after he had come so far. I just didn't believe it was a good idea.

Bob and Shannon's little spat..I agree...BIT YUCK!!!

And I was so surprised...Matt's hair did look great, didn't it.

I'm pulling for Dr. Jeff myself...he seems so kind.

Have a great day.
 
Well I think Bob the trainer and Andrea might have started some affair up on that hill. LOL! They better be careful....too many emotions going around. ;-)

I threw my water bottle at Sappy Suzy. Can't stand to hear her speak either...sounds valley girlish. She was getting on my last nerve. I even vowed never to watch another episode just because of her!!!!! Well, I will though. LOL!

I am glad Shannon got voted out. She whines and complains too much. She said she hurt her foot and was making Bob feel uncomfortable, but she managed to jump up and down for 9 1/2 mins when she set her mind to it! I did see her after look and I think she looks amazing and I am happy for her.

Matt looks good without all that hair. WTH though with the weight gain? What is he thinking?????

I think Seth might be the Biggest Loser. He has got a ton of determination and will power.

Lori - you missed a true shocking moment on BL. Before he got on the scale he said "I don't think I lost, in fact I might have gained a little." Even he was floored when it said +12. The percentage of weight gain was over 5%. YIKES.

Thanks Lisa - I will keep that in mind when I am swearing on the Nordic Trac. Maybe your husband is right, there is a little bit of strategy to gaining, but that is a lot to gain. I can't wait to watch it.

I, too, am pulling for Suzy and Dr. Jeff. He is not the most coordinated guy - he blew it on the jumprope right away and every other challenge, but he really doesn't let it throw him off. I really like him!

You are right, Shannon wasn't kidding about her family. It is really heartbreaking.

Have a good one girls! Let's all get Jillian's abs - without the numchucks.
 
I think Matt may be using a pretty good strategy. If it were me, I would be chugging as much water as I can and eating a good meal right before the weigh in to throw the scales off. That's just temporary weight and it will come off quickly. His next weigh in, provided he's doesn't have immunity, like the others would be post-workout and most likely several hours after his last meal. Have you ever weighed yourself in the morning versus the evening? For me, it can be as much as four pounds. Now a big guy like Matt I'm sure he can do a lot more than that without jeopardizing his weight loss efforts.

Oh and I do like the Matt's new haircut. He looks so much younger and thinner!
 
Lori hart???? Is that you Gidget woman??? I didn't know you changed your name. I thought you left the building or something! DON'T DO THAT CRAP!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Oh boy I am sooo addicted to this show!

I think Matty boy is gonna go all the way. Yeah, 12lbs was pretty crazy but I agree that it will come off big time.

I love Dr. Jeff and want him to keep at it. I wouldn't mind if he won, either.

Suzy is such a pansy! Oy, I can't take much more of her sobbing. She's super motivated and doing great but she's starting to get on my nerves.

Andrea will probably go next week unless she wins immunity. I think Seth can go home and be just fine on his own.

Don't forget 2 hour finale on Nov. 29! Woo!

One thing to keep in mind about Matt is that he used to wrestle. So he does have some tricks up his sleeve about putting weight on ASAP. Altho I do think he was surprised he gained 12 lbs.

Oh....I told everyone that I had a new user name, I can't help it that you were to a rock concert when this changed! The world doesn't stop b/c you are gone away you know!?:* ;)
I was actually thinking about pming you b/c its been a while since we chatted.
Lori:)
 
How about Little Miss Suzy's meltdown at the elimination table? My daughter had me rolling on the floor with her impression of Suzy picking Shannon to be eliminated! She nailed it and it was absolutely hilarious!

I am stunned by how differently everyone looks already - especially in their faces.

Matt looks darn HOT now without all that nasty hair!!

Pellmel - I didn't know that Ms. Garret from the Facts of Life was on The Biggest Loser:p .
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I think you meant Caroline Rae, and yes I think she looks thinner too.:7
