The grim truth is they probably have them wear it to emphasize how obese they are.

You all may already know this....BUT...they have lots of extra video at the BL website. Check out the one of Kim taking her group on a hike....you will love Amber...lol what did she think it would be like at the BL? Lordy she doesnt have a clue...and wait till you hear her respond to Kim's question about what would she do if she needed to run to her patient in order to save their life.... Quite the dedicated caregiver....lol

I find the whole "Black Team vs Everybody" storyline a little cheesy. After all...there's not a one of us that actually believes this hasn't been set up from the beginning, and the whole left in the desert - Jillian shows up thing was scripted enough to make BB jealous...and not for a minute do I not believe that Bob and whatzername didn't know about it. But the Us vs Them thing is a little over done.

I agree, Nick. I guess you have to have teams, but still it's all so scripted and fake. Cut down on a lot of the cheesy talk and the show would be better.

Does Kim know how to motivate? Bob was awesome talking to Amy who's not even on his team. I hope the black team doesn't give into temptation next week. Jerry did surprisingly well again

Jillian sures like to climb people, doesn't she? Ketchup, I agree with you about Kim. She really seems to have trouble connecting with her group. I agree about the cheese factor but was still rooting for the Black team to come in strong. They came in #1 for the week but it was hardly wiping the floors with the other teams.

It seems to me that Kim believes this is a chance of a lifetime and she doesn't get that she needs to motivate her team in addition to coaching. I kind of agree with her, especially when Amy and Lyselle (sp?) are less then 2 weeks into this process and one is storming away and quitting and the other one is mocking Kim and rolling her eyes behind her back. But if she is to be successfull as a coach (esp on this show) then Kim had better learn and grow and adapt. If it takes hand-holding and motivational speeches then so be it.

I am so glad that Jillian is back this year. I have read TVCH for years as a lurker, but I'm hoping to become more involved this season of most of the reality shows! Anniem

best of all we have no Kai this season! LOL! YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU GOD! Ok....lol....am I totally gullible or what? because I never even imagined that anything would be scripted. You guys really think they knew about the black team? LOL WOW am I an idiot. I completely believed Bob's surprise when Jillian was there at the weigh-in. Jillian rocks. STILL DO NOT LIKE KIM.Absolutely adore BOB. (I really wanted them to win the first 2 weigh-ins to break the record....pooie!) Also I really like the new host. She is way better than the last one. Is she not on Days anymore? (I haven't seen that show in like ten yrs!)

I agree about Kim after seein her both last year and this year but, the men on Kim's team don't seem to have a problem sticking to the task. I thought both Amy and Lezlye had sucky attitudes and if what she was saying about the data from their armbands was sound then they really weren't giving it their all. I was happy to see either Lezlye or Amy go as neither of them seem to have thrown themselves into it like those three guys. All that said I would rather be on Bob's team as he seems far more caring than either of the women. Good on Lezlye for sticking to it after leaving.

Anniem, I am glad Jillian is back too, she scares me and would motivate the heck out of me! I love Bob and his whole training style - tough but compassionate. I am still amazed that the 60+ year old man lost over 40 lbs. in 2 weeks. How is that possible since he was not grossly obese to start with? I wish I had his metabolism!!

I read Bob's blog last week - and both Bob and Kim heard the rumors about Jillian being back (cause from their words - the fitness trainer community world is small and word travels) but they didn't know how/when/why and the teams did NOT know. So for the 11 Blue/Red team members, it WAS a surprise.

I still have to wonder how many of these applicants (men) purposefully "gain" some weight before getting to the ranch/show so they can demonstrated a huge weight loss in the beginning.

I don't know why they wouldn't purposely gain weight before going. My cousin had a weight problem and opted for the easy way out (bariatric surgery), but her insurance company wouldn't pay for it unles she was 100 pounds or more overweight. She was only 95 pounds overweight, so she ate everything in sight for 2 months and resubmitted her application. Now she's so skinny it's scary! And because she never feels "full", skips meals. The last time I heard from her, her doc said if she loses 1 more pound, she'll have to be hospitalized because she's in danger of death due to starvation.

my wife's step-sister died from a bariatric procedure. She simply quit eating altogether...she starved herself to death without once ever feeling hungry. She was only in her mid 20's. But something else I was wondering: Does Amy wish to be the first Biggest Loser in Histor to win without losing the weight? That's the feeling I got from her.

Lezlye was on the Today Show and said she lost 55 lbs....of course Al Roker was doing the interview...he always gets these weight loss things then goes on Food Network to host a BBQ contest! I always forget it's on-I really want to get into it more. Yes, Allison Sweeney is still on Days!

LOL as I sit here watching the biggest looser! I have gained 30 lbs since I quit smoking! I've never been heavy in my life so for me the 30 lbs is a lot. Then Hubby calls to tell me to pick up chicken to BBQ on the grill this weekend AND get him some ice cream LOL. AUGH I told him he has told me he needs to loose weight then tells me to pick up ice cream. Oh my gosh.
