Can't believe no one talking about this 2 part edition of Biggest Loser. There was a family one couple of weeks ago and no one was talking about that either. Nice format w/ winners getting nice prizes. Anybody else see this show? Part II is next week.

Sherbabe, I haven't been watching TV lately, but I love the show. Missed these two, unfortunately. Can you remind me what night it is on? Thanks.

I saw the family one, and thought it was really good. I like the format of doing it all in one show instead of dragging it out for weeks. I have Tivo set up for the couples.

Sara and Steve won -- red team, dark haired woman. During the hour she said she was 5'11" - 6' and would never be small. Hmmmmm. I'm 6'. (I am small boned.) My lowest adult weight was -- ta da -- 113 lbs.! I guess it was kind of anorexic looking, though I was not. Ultimately, weight I usually carry is 145 lbs.

wow carolynn reah looks better, looks like she finnaly got to to what she wants to weight, and looks like her face is years younger?? maybe a chemical peal?? dont know, still i do like the show, but also wonder since the contestants lose to such a extreme in the short months, maybe there also like incentitives, we dont hear about, like the work out stuff to keep and proabble gyme memberships for endorsements, touring, etc, also saw the follow up where the blonde woman lost 15 more pounda dn they were about to have their wedding? so if anyone comes about facts a re truths, not just hear say, and any endosrsements, perks, they see the contestants doing, at any gymes, etc, i would like to hear about it...also it is just me are is jullian really that much of a stinker, showed a preveiw of handcuffing someone to a moving treadmill,lol

I watched last night. I really didn't care for Sara's attitude and I was bummed Rasha didn't win. She seemed so much more deserving. Phooey

The women still had 30 to 50 pounds to lose though they did look better. It appeared the men hit their goals or close to it. I didn't care for any of these people. Certainly they had people with more charisma apply. Perhaps they should choose contestants who have a shot at reaching their goal weight. it would be a more satisfying ending anyway.

well for them to do it in 6 months times, speaks volumes, to go to the ranch and have a shock awakening, then only 2 weeks later back to their real lifes and still have to find the time and neergy to work out a couple of hours to lose 50 are more poubnds apiece speaks volumes.

I was glad the Red Team won...if for no other reason that Rasha's attitude was appalling. When they were looking at the picture and she stated, "I agree that he looks good." and never a nice word for Sara. But then again, I got the feeling that neither female liked each other very much. I wonder what that stems from...seems like there may be more to the story that we didn't see. I liked the look on her face when Sara was walking up to the scale and she knew she had lost. Oh well...I like this new set up better than the 12 contestant set up.

Blue team never had a chance. it was impossible. Red team was a hundred pounds heavier when the contest started. I thought that Steve was way too thin. His legs and arms appeared gaunt with slack muscles. In contrast i felt that Blue team 'looked' better. the guy (??name) had very muscular arms, shoulders and legs. This will increase your weight. I am pleased that being healthier and muscular was more important than starving yourself to win a contest. Sara was unable to lose all the extra weight and her fiance lost more than he should to try and balance it out, in my opinion. On a final note I cant believe anyone would blow $50,000 on a wedding castle. That is like a downpayment on a house!!

I watched both episodes on FF so I missed a lot but I did get that the prize was a 50k wedding, not a cash prize. This may be because they want to tape it and squeeze another 60 minute show out of this deal. Steve looked great! Nothing wrong with being a thin person. My oldest son is tall and very lean and muscular. I love that look. I like thin. Steve needs some time for his body to adjust to that loss.

i didnt say there was anything wrong with being slim. I too prefer very slender and muscular. I agree with your comments completely. the problem I commented on slack muscles often suggests poor nutrition. I had a great friend who lost a ton of weight so I have had experience with this. maybe I wasnt listening close enough. I could have sworn that they were winning $50,000 to use for their wedding, not that the prize was a prearranged wedding. That is what confused me. That the winning couple wanted to spend the money on a castle.

Anyone catch this episode. I was watching criminal minds so missed it. Guess it is about Italian family from NY who run an Italian restaurant and a family from the midwest who run a typical diner. Shows how once they get back to their typical lives how hard it is to diet when food is constantly around them.

Not the Italian family. The blue team known as the Diner Team won by quite a bit. They needed to lose 188 pounds to win and I think they lost around 230 all together.

If I had been the father on the red team I would have been furious with two of the females on the team. They must not have tried very hard at all, lost less than 25 lb in almost six months? While both the father's really did good.

i was surprised the blonde mother lost 54 or 64 pounds. can't remember which, but it was a lot, and she didn't look like she lost that much. men always seem to work harder and lose more and look so much better when they are done...i was surprised the younger gals only lost about 2 pounds a month average. for 50k and with all the help they get, they should have lost at least twice that.

thanks for the update Alib!!! I was hoping the blue team won. Didn't like how the red team father treated his team mates. Hopefully, he calmed down.

I missed it. It is hard to follow when the show is not on regularly/weekly.

My stupid DVR hiccupped and only recorded about 10 minutes of it. I wasn't really rooting for either of the teams this time around. Neither one really interested me. On a side note: I ordered the Biggest Loser work-out DVD. I was wondering if anybody else might be familiar with it and could give me some feedback on it. I recently started a work out program and have dropped 10 pounds...its been tough, believe you me...I am so out of my comfort zone. But it'll be worth it in the long run.
