Did anyone watch this last night? Does it seem that they are taking all of Tracy's experience out of context? I found my self screaming at the tube for these people to suck it up and stop your crying! Is it just me or are these contestants so emotionally unstable that they are going fall flat on their face when they go home and gain all the weight back?

Also if they all hate Tracy so much why the hell didn't they vote her off?
 
THANK YOU! i thought it was just me being mean, screaming at them everytime i watch the show. it's gotten to the point where i feel the need to switch to another channel to take a break from all the emo-ness going around on that ranch!!!

totally agree: i dont know why they didnt vote tracy off. not because of her being 2 faced but because she is not strong as a team member at all. i got a little teary eyed when coach mo got voted off. he was a huge inspiration for that team. what a weird decision. i guess they just kept the weak so they could ensure a surer win? i dunno...

I am surprised the didnt vote her off as well. It just all reminds of the Vicki/Heba days where I could barely stand to watch the BL. This show is supposed to be motivational as we follow their journeys - but instead I get all frustrated...
 
Not to mention they are now back to the old format of blue against black. I was really enjoying the new format and wished they would have kept it that way. Bob and Jillian working as a team was great.
 
Boo! They missed their big chance!

Why would they keep that disruptive b-word Tracey???????? Coach Mo would have been a positive unifying force for the blue team. I hope Bob works Tracey out until she cries for mercy next week! Such crap!

You have to wonder if the producers may have a hand in this....conflict translates into good ratings, after all. Although I, for one, would enjoy a season without drama.

I was soo surprised when they decided to vote off Coach Mo rather than Tracy, but I think their reasoning was that since it is blue vs. black they want to win the weight loss competition so that their team doesn't have to go to the elimination room. I think they thought since Tracy was pulling the bigger weight loss (and this includes %, she weighs ~ 100 lbs less than Mo and lost more weight than him most weeks) so having her on the team will be more of an asset in that area.

I too, got so annoyed with all of the carrying on, e.g., Amanda and having to have Bob train her! and Dina so upset because she didn't have Rudy, please! A bunch of codependents really needed to be separated from their comfort zone in order to get stronger! "It's so hard to only rely on yourself!" Really, who else do we really have to rely on? Especially when it comes to our fitness and health?

But I still got really annoyed with Tracey - breaking down and crying and saying I can't do this when it came to picking the teams! So don't do it and quit your crying or do it and suck it up already! The drama!

Plus, what is Tracey an idiot? Every contestant that has won BL has done it with Jillian as their coach....sure Bob may be kinder, but if Tracey really wants to win which is what she says, she shoulda picked Jillian.

I can't believe Coach Mo fell on his sword after Jillian and Bob gave their speech about everyone needing to stay on the ranch after Sean and Antoine fell on their sword in week 3.

And after all of Liz's talk about getting even, she caved and voted off Coach Mo. How disappointing really.

I too was reminded of that dreaded season with Heba and Co, they had their once chance to vote off that horrible woman (I can't remember her name now) and they didn't vote her off and she ended up going to the finals. She didn't win, Michele won, but I remember really really disliking her. I definitely hated that season.
 
Definitely hating this season. The only other season I stopped watching was with Heba...this may be the 2nd. I am beginning to become cynical and wonder if the producers are influencing votes.:( Even my DH who usually mocks me when I am screaming at the TV grabbed the remote and changed the channel after stating very unflattering comments about the intelligence of the blue team when it became clear they weren't voting Tracey off. She is a horrible human being and as Bob said *game players always gain the weight back!* ie~ Ryan, Heba, and I'm guessing Helen will soon if she hasn't already. Anyone else wonder how she is losing that kind of weight without any exercise...until the last day or two she was barely allowed daily movement let alone exercise.
Argh! getting all worked up again! :rolleyes:

There are some interesting bonus scenes on the NBC site with Tracy. Bob even asks her why didn't she pick Jillian as her trainer. Her answer made no sense.

I think most of the time Tracy makes no sense.
 
I just watched the bonus footage and the one thing that I noticed was Tracey's eyes. They are always darting side to side. I'm wondering if she is on some kind of medication that kind of keys her up. That could explain the weightloss without exercise too. Just an observation and a thought.
 
double standard

For the one 'power' thing she got by eating cupcakes; someone else had already started eating them and would have won if she hadn't. So she was punished for winning, but the other guy could have just as well won. But yet everyone was outraged at her and not him.

The last one, there were how many people trying to win? I mean, really, was it her fault she got that ticket any more than it was there fault they didn't?

The only thing she 'won' that no one else tried to win was the 2lb thing early on and that only hurt her and her partner.

So the contestants are blaming her when someone else would have had that exact same power over them if it wasn't her. I wonder how much of this is egged on by the producers; all this drama and such makes better TV.
 
She's the Cruella of BL

Don't you think some of this is staged and it's a bit about ratings? Like any show, they have to go meaner, deeper, harder to get folks back. The first few seasons were about watching people getting inspired to lose weight. And that they did. And I was one who said Yipee, can't wait for next season. Now everything is over the top, including the villian.

Tracey probably wanted out day 1, but she's a great villian.

I hope it gets better too.

Yes!!! you do have to wonder. I personally think they write it in to keep you watching, but it turns me off.
 
I think they were told to vote coach Mo off. Last week Coach Mo decided he really wanted to be there and he was going to fight to stay. This week he was well I didn't lose enough so I should leave. The older lady complains bitterly all week and then she votes to keep Tracy. This nonsense coupled with all the product advertising done throughout the show...I'm not watching anymore.

I feel the same way Ikl. I won't be watching anymore either. Maybe next season.
