But, it looked like Paul and Kelly didn't have a choice to pick the grey team.

If I remember correctly, they could pick any team, but they were choosing from the teams that put their name as the team to go. And since Black picked them but had immunity, they "had" to pick between pink and purple.

I don't like the way the teams were divided. It doesn't seem fair that Bob was able to choose all 3 of the top losing teams, leaving Jillian with the others. Was this for only the one week? If not, it seems as though the teams under Jillian will be picked off one by one as time progresses. Bob has 5 men & 1 woman; Jillian has 4 women & 2 men.

Hi, Dee.. long time, no see!! I think it is permanent and we'll see how it goes. Bob chose big losers but took a chance since he didn't choose all the big water loaders from last time. I thought the former blue team was a bit high on the horse about Bob's "colors" since they were just one of six pairs who happened to get blue shirts.. Now for me, I had just learned to identify them by color and now I'm back to being sort of confused.. I thought Jillian's new team spent way too much time being pissed off and well they tipped it off that perhaps they hadn't been eating correctly, so I look for some big losses there next week. Yellow certainly has high loss potential. Personally I think the production is way over manipulative this time. I wonder what the former orange son, Dan, will get for his prize for being biggest loser this week? Will it be something for him alone or some advantage for Jillian's whole team? And it is clear that Kelly, at least, wins video from home since they showed her current husband or boyfriend talking to them.. odd that they would make her ex watch watch that, except for drama.

I thought the former blue team was a bit high on the horse about Bob's "colors" since they were just one of six pairs who happened to get blue shirts.. they were specially picked for those blue shirts. Bob chose them definitively as his top team. Sorry folks, Bob has just dropped a whole lot in my books. it seemed so petty to go for the All Big male teams ( and one large woman who will be voted out first if they ever lose a weighin ) there is nothing fair in the division of the teams. there is no balance. team yellow - old ex couple team purple - two young girls team blue - two young kids Team black - two big strong tanklike men team grey - two big strong ex- athletes team orange - one big strong kid with an amazingly aggressive and manlike mother. Sorry, she seems really 'male' to me. So......Biggest Loser is now going to make us watch another Pangonging session?? (not sure if I spelled that right...you know, the season of survivor which one team picked off the other team one by one) I think this team split up has guaranteed a male winner ONCE again. talk about demoralizing.

oh by the way, Did anyone catch Jillian stop everyone from working out and calling out "lets eat a snack". We also saw team black with HUGE water bottles. I noticed the camera actually did a closeup on one of them. I wonder if team Yellow deliberately waterlogged themselves. It sure makes sense and would explain the guilty bawling that the lady did. The guy actually GAINING 3 lbs was amazing. I thought there was going to be some kind of penalty for that kind of shenanegans. BUT they could guarantee to be kept that way. If overhydrated now, they can guarantee a big loss next week. Crossing my fingers that Team Blue ends up having to turn on itself and vote someone out. And we all know Momma Orange will be the victim

Bob really bent Jillian over last night. "Who's yer daddy!" I really dislike Orange team mamma. Kung Fu yellow guy annoys me and his wife. I fell in love with Jillian all over again when she was crying last night.

Do the trainers win anything if someone from their team wins? I am just wondering. I would rather have seen Bob get first pick then Jillian and back and forth if they really wanted them to pick teams. I too agree that men are always going to be the biggest loser. Why not do a all men's biggest loser and then an all women's biggest loser? Kind of like when the have one or even two plus-size models on America's Next Top Model, they will never win but how about a cycle that is all plus-size models? Then they actually have a shot.

Before everyone gets down on Bob for picking the strongest teams, I believe Jillian would have done exactly the same thing if she was in Bob's position.

Possibly, but not all three in my opinion. I think she would have for sure taken the blue team. She seems to be very close to Brittany

I thought they were both trying to throw the challenge but Bob saw that he would really have to be obvious about it not to beat Jillian. Bob was going down those stairs so pathetically slowly right from the beginning and Jillian was holding on to the rails like she was dying but when the challenge was done, neither one had even broken a sweat or had any colour in their cheeks. Kellsma, I don't think they win anything persay but it certainly hurts or helps their reputation and their chances of being invited back for another season. Look at Kim. Oh wait, can't. RFLOL

GO BOB! He picked a very strong team. Jillian will have a harder time winning this year. I think I've gotten the U.S. Biggest Loser confused with Australia, lol. I thought only the 4 lowest losers were up for elimination. It was just wrong that the gal who is finally getting some numbers got eliminated, when there were 4 others on her team who lost less and one who actually gained weight. In my opinion, if you gain more than 2 lbs. in one week, you should be automatically eliminated. I don't like what used to be the orange and yellow teams at all. I feel Kelly manipulates people.

After watching last night's weigh-in, can someone explain why the U.S. censors allow us to view man-boobs that are bigger than many women's, but God forbid we get a nanosecond glimpse of a partially covered woman's breast during the Super Bowl?

I thought Jillian threw the challenge as well. I just thought it was wrong to have this challenge at all. They (Bob and Jillian) are working hard trying to build up the self-esteem of the team members, yet the producers force them into a playground scenario where they are 'categorized' for their weight loss thinking it will make them more competitive. It is just not right.

LOL my son asked about the man-boobs, specifically, the old yellow-team guy whose man-boobs were very lop-sided. My son wanted to know what the problem was. heh heh

heres my Take on the picking of teams! If I had first pick would I pick what I considered the best???? Heck Yes! If Jillian had won do you think she would have!!! Heck yes! I found it to be Karma that the Yellow team called out those girls for not trying hard enough and or loosing enough weight and then she gained nothing and he gained! But Better Karma would have been one of them going home with the comment If you don't try hard enough you don't loose weight!!! I thought it was Very Hurtful of him to say that to them last week, Anyone that struggles with weight knows sometimes you peak and seem to get stuck for awhile! And they should know if anyone does!

Oh my gosh, I have noticed Paul's lopsided-ness too! I thought I was weird for noticing and the one week I was so focused on that! I also think Kelly manipulates.

I was very disappointed in Bob last night, especially with him not choosing Bernie and Brittany. Do you all think the yellow team really waterlogged? Why would they do that?

The yellow team was not voted off because they will have great numbers next week because of the water gain this week. At least no one tried the soda challenge because it would not have changed the outcome anyway.

For everyone who is critizing BOB for taking the teams he chose....well this is a competition and if you didn't come to win you might as well go home now. It is as much a competition for the trainers as it is the players and Bob best chances for a win this year is with the players he chose. I would not have respected him if he had not gone for the mostly likely ones to lose big weight and win...how dumb would he have looked if he hadn't? I have a really hard time believing Jillian threw the competition...she is a competitor but Bob is a runner so he of course was the most likely to win this comp. Wish you all could have watched the Australian version of Biggest Loser...makes the US version look very calm and tame...lol Still miss Bette Sue, bet Bob would have chosen that team if he had had the chance.
