The following was taken from an article on cruisecritics.com about part of the show being filmed on a Princess Cruise Ship. In a nutshell, "The Biggest Loser" is a primetime reality series in which teams of contestants compete over seven months for the title of "biggest loser" via exercise and healthy eating. The episode filmed aboard Sapphire Princess is focused around teaching contestants how to maintain their diet and workout programs in the face of buffets, lounge chairs and other vacation temptations. Expect to see folks utilizing the Lotus Spa gym, pools and running track, and honing in on the healthiest options available at various restaurants. We want to know: Will they brave the oft-indulgent multi-course meal at Sabatini's? Set your TiVo or tune in on October 4 at 9 p.m. EST to find out. (Note: The footage was filmed during a Pacific coastal cruise this past spring.)

I finally got a chance to watch the premiere. OMG! I'm sorry, but bringing in 50 people was just cruel. Absolutely cruel. Why get the hopes up of so many people only to pick 14? It just seems like a weak and cheap gimmick to hype up the premiere and nothing else. So many of those that were turned away needed the help. And I don't think getting a free book, DVD and gym membership is going to cut it. Here's what I think they should have done: Divide the group into three. One group stays at the ranch. One group goes home and has a trainer and nutritionist at their disposal. The final group does it on their own with the book, DVD and gym membership. The focus stays with those at the ranch, but we also get to see who does well in the other groups. The best from those groups gets to come back to the ranch. At the very least, I hope those who didn't get to stay at the ranch are getting paid to maintain their journals on the nbc.com site. I can't stand Kim. She tries to come across as hardcore, but she's just way to perky for my taste. By the way, for all Jillian fans, she does a radio show every Sunday morning 9-11AM PST. You can listen to it online live or download the show after it airs: http://www.kfi640.com/main.html

Happygal, are you talking about me? The over 50 far too overweight from quiting smoking and the menopause roller coaster? I'm game. Let me on the team! Even though it was a bummer for the 36 to be sent home, I thought they were sent to a 'bootcamp' type thing for a week to learn how to do the program via exercise and nutrition and then sent home with all the tools they need to succeed. I'd kill for that opportunity alone so I'm sure some of them are thrilled at least. And, I'm sure they are getting something for keeping up their online diaries. Why else would they do it?

I'm not feeling the love for the red team. I was a bit irritated they won tonight. And I still want Jillian back!

Aye yi yi... With each passing episode, I am growing to despise Kim more and more. <100> I have to admire the producers though. At least they are showing just how much <100>. I want Jillian back too. I'm guessing none of you downloaded and watched the Australian version of TBL. Bob and Jillian were the trainers on that show. During the Australian version there was also emphasis on an outfit they wanted to get back into. (Their outfits were enclosed in glass cases.) Also, Bob and Jillian had them train out on the beach. If the producers continue taking ideas from the Aussie version, expect to see a challenge that involves carrying a lot of bricks, a challenge in which each team pulls a Mac truck, a temptation challenge involving a ton of chocolates and blindfolds, wall climbing as well as time spent at a retreat where the cast is forced to face their biggest fears. I noticed they are editing in more detailed talks about healthy eating. I like that. But I also notice the product placement is alive and well. I feel bad for Bob when he has to come in and hawk vitamins and Jell-o and stuff.

and oatmeal. Kim does nothing for this show...the problem with her is that she doesn't command the respect of her team like Jillian did. With Jillian it would never have gotten to the point that she had to crush them in order to behave. Jillian wouldn't have let it happen to begin with...I'm refering to the incident on the beach.

Kim is okay. She's new and learning. Caroline is the one I'd like to go. She's not showing any personality and she's just boring.

Caroline doesn't bother me on the show and she's really funny doing stand-up. This week...still not feeling any love for the red team and Kim absolutely gets on my last nerve. If she were my trainer...I'd be sneaking Hot Wings and all my other comfort foods to deal with it. And she shouldn't were that bikini because it barely covers up the bulge in her crotch. One thing that is really bugging me this season is all the crying. C'mon...The producers thought it made Matt endearing last season so they cast a bunch of blubberheads this season. Good job red team! I applaude Ken for sticking to his guns...and Kai called him a b-word (what used to be in olden days a name for a child whose parents were never married) for voting for Pam. That was certainly uncalled for and if anything I hope he's learned not to listen to any of the women...I can't stand Kai or Heather.

A lot of blubbering on the show tonight... Ewww, not very becoming at all. The red team lost. There was a tie vote -- 3 votes from the women for Wylie and 3 votes from the men for Pam. So the blue team chose who they wanted to leave and they chose Nelson. ETA - Heather and Kai are very unpleasant and I find it hard to cheer for either of them. It seems as though they could have found some better personalities out of the remaining 36 contestants.

So dumb for them to give the Blues the control that way.(I did watch after all) Maybe they will be shocked into using their heads about game.

Did I hear right? Did Pam call the guy with the huge hair a "b-stard" when he revealed his vote for her? Nice. Really nice. Was it Heather who was screaming while running around the ship? Man, she was annoying. There are so few likable people on the cast this season. At this point, I hope one of the 36 who comes back to the ranch wins this thing.

Kai's the one who called him a b***** And yes it was Heather who was screaming and being very annoying; too bad she couldn't be voted out.

Scorpio, I am so with you on the likability factor with this season. In season one, I immediately feel in love with nearly everyone on the show. But that is when they were in it for the right reasons. Now I think it is more viewed as a game to be won. The competetive side of some on there this year is ugly. In previous seasons they were even happy for the other teams accomplishments. I say yuck to most contestants this year -- especially when it comes to the women!!! How sad

Glad I'm not the only one who found Heather VERY annoying. I was upset the way the blue team voted and thought they should of maybe broken the tie.

I found Heather annoying from the very first episode. I was so disappointed last night when she got immunity. I was sad to see Nelson go. It seemed like he was the only one who didnt' make a negative comment or "fake cry" when he cast his vote. Looks like the red team is going to have a lot if in fighting next week. Maybe there is still hope in getting rid of Heather, but now that its two men vs. three women on the red team, my guess is the women will gang up and get rid of the men.

I'm rooting for Marty! I also Want Jillian back, although Bob is my favorite because he sits down with his Team and gets to know them on more of a personal Level!! Kym just seems to to do more floor work

I finally got a chance to watch ep 3 and see Heather having her Kayte Fogal moment. Is it just me or does she seem to have them a lot. On ep 1 I thought she'd be the one voted out after her screeching rant and wasn't she the one who lost the least that week? Maybe she has them all bamboozled and they are afraid to vote her out. I don't get it. Another thing I don't get is why everyone seems to dislike Kim so much. She seems fine to me so far. She just doesn't have the same personality as Jillian and, therefore, she's not what you're used to. At least Caroline seems to be showing a little personality this year.
