quote:Maggie is setting herself up for next week to be the biggest loser and get immunity.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt that. Maggie hasn't been putting up good numbers since she's been on the campus. (Week 1 = 10, Week 2 = 2, Week 3 = 6, Week 4 = 3, Week 5 = 7, Week 6 = 5, Week 7 = 2) They aren't bad, but in comparison, Kelly, Paul, and Bernie can all beat her easily. That may be her plan, but I hope it backfires in her face.

I haven't watched the whole show yet, but Dan's whining was really irritating. He thought about going to the Black Team and they wanted him, but Jillian put the kabosh on that. Since when do these people get decide what team they are on? Geez, it's like they don't even realize there just might be rules and it's a game, not where they 'feel' best. I thought it was nice of the guys to apologize to Dan, lol, even though he hadn't really forgiven them. Kelly gets on my nerves also. I think she is a huge manipulator.

i wonder if bob is going through the anger phase of mourning. with his schedule he hasn't had much time, i would think, to really deal with his dad's death. this would also account for his aversion to therapy. who more to need it than him at this stage. but to admit so would seem weak.

Can someone help with the situation re: Bob's parents. I am watching Biggest Loser Australia and Bob had to leave temporarily for his mother's funeral. I know I am a distracted viewer (if I am not doing at least one other activity while watching then I go stir crazy) but I don't remember his dad passing away. Did that happen this current season that we are watching? Did they say what he died of? His mom was a heart attack and not completely unexpected, right?

I don't understand why Jillian was allowed to tell them how to pick the person to get immunity from the black team. I know it seemed more fair but I didn't think it was right that she just told them they were going to draw names from a hat. I think the trainers sometimes get too involved with the game play aspect. Ok, that's my rant, I'm over it now.

I thought it was a no-brainer to give immunity to the son left on blue. That way they would be forced to break up one of the two remaining teams. I was really surprised when they picked Jay. As for Black I thought they should put in a secret ballot for the person each would never vote out this week anyway. Honestly I missed what they did.. pick names out of a hat? How did Maggie get two votes then? (Really should look at the TV while I claim to be watching, shouldn't I?) LOLOL

On Wikipedia, it only mentions that, "Harper left the show (Biggest Loser Australia, Season 2) temporarily when his mother died of a heart attack." It says nothing about his father. After going onto his MySpace, I couldn't find anything about his dad either.

I thought for sure that the immunity was going to Dan as well. I want the brothers split up. They are ruining this season for me. I liked Trent and I respect him for actually acknowledging that he was there for the RIGHT reasons, whereas others are all about the game play.

It made sense to me to keep Jay who doesn't lose as much as the others. You keep yourself safe by making the other team weaker.

NP Dovez, like I have said.. I watch TV while working on my research, cross-stitching, reading, etc. LOL I figure this way I can watch the same show two-three times in repeats before I realize I have actually seen it before. It was just as likely that I missed it.

Bernie, Brit, and Maggie need to step it up in the losing weight department...the older folks are putting them to shame. I wonder if they are eating too much or maybe doing some snacking cause if they were slacking in workouts then the others would notice. I REALLY hope that Paul was asked his permission before they aired his "therapy session". I thought that was all a little invasive into what should be private, especially since the opposite of private in this instance is that it is on TV for all the US to see and hear. Seems the producers are trying to give us more insight into their journeys of losing weight and that it is more than just the food and exercise but they don't have it quite right yet, IMHO...just really bothered me the "sessions" were aired for TV. I also, was very surprised the black team didn't give the immunity to Dan. I wonder what their thinking was on that.

I thought that they (Black Team) wouldn't give immunity to Dan because he's young and has lots of weight to lose and he could go to the finale and win. This was their chance to get rid of him...using the logic that the Blue Team Guys would vote Dan off next.

I always thought it was Bob's mother who died during BB Australia. I finally finished watching last night's show.. I had big time conflicts and really needed BOTH of my DVRs (then I can record four shows at once) and that took some doing because my downstairs DVR went bonkers on Monday night and stopped playing.. it was recording but crashed when you tryed to play anything.. so I got a replacement yesterday and then had a major meltdown trying to install it.. it was a different model. While I understand why Dan was upset to lose his mom from the show, I had to think, GROW UP! He and mom had no problem plotting to get rid of others and no problem celebrating when they won. And frankly, I think it will be good for him to actually be on his own and prove to himself that he can continue to lose. As for the black team, get a grip.. (lol of course at the moment they are riding high, but as irate as they are about the blue team voting someone out, there is that sub alliance feared by Paul and Kelly and if they have to vote out they will happily vote out, even the two women who aren't losing much. Jillian's mom.. well it was a good thing for her team but a wee bit of nepotism.. seems like Bob's team should have had the same opportunity and not with Jillian's mom (I think Jillian's mom did a fine job and have no reason to believe she'd have played favorites, but I'm not on the other team). Trent is such a sweetheart!! I'll miss him, but he's right, he needed to get that knee taken care of and he is doing really well too.

Of course it seemed like they'd protect Dan after all of their hot air and angst about how the blue team did him wrong, but I think they would be fine with him or any big loser going home, so they protected the one they figured would be easier to beat later.. so it was ok for black team to play that game.

'The majority of your issues with weight begin right here <point at your head>. It doesn't matter how much work we do here... if we don't get to the root of the reasons you overeat then the weight will just come back. We would like to give you the opportunity to talk out some of these issues with a professional.' OR 'Hey! Jillian's mom is in the kitchen. Want some therapy?' Gee, I am just blown away that none of the blue team took the opportunity. RFLOL

I thought it was his mother, but everyone told me it was his father. I do agree he could be going through the anger phase, as it seemed to be a sudden death.

Who wants to go through therapy on national tv? I would have turned it down as well. Regarding Bob, there's also a phase of not having much patience for 'petty' issues. When my mom died, I nearly quit my job because I thought there were larger issues in the world than the ones I dealt with on a day-to-day basis. That went on for quite awhile before I fell back into a routine.

ok, havent read your posts. Just watching the end of the show on tape. I think the brothers are taking turns waterlogging. When they realized how close the numbers were going to be, I noticed mark started looking really scared. With both of the brothers left to weigh in and only ten lbs to lose, I thought right away that the brothers threw it. As if they didnt know Jay had immunity from the other team!! He looked like he knew he had it lost before he got settled in on the scale. I think one brother is watching out for the other so that they are guaranteed one at least will make it to the end. They now carry 50% of the vote on the Blue team thus guaranteeing final 6-7 IMHO

oh about Paul. Kids often dont remember the reasons for their punishments. I can imagine that any parent who loses their temper is a scarey thing...but a violent parent is usually violent with others, not just one kid. He made it sound like he was the only one who remembered sessions...which sounds a lot like time out. before we think bad things about his father, we need to remember that some people remember spankings as 'beatings' and being basically 'dragged to their rooms' as a scarey anticipation of that said spanking. however, the problems with a person's selfesteem is often HOW they recall an incident and not how others may recall that same incident. I only hope the man takes the counsellor's advice and gets some professional help.

Very often one child is singled out for abuse and used as a scape goat for the whole family. My mother was abused by her mother and her four older siblings thought she was crazy and insisted it never happened. Her younger sister remembered my Mom being beaten and became the perfect child so it wouldn't happen to her. My aunt told me that my Grandmother made sure their father and the older kids were not in the house when she beat my mother. When I say beat, my mother had a misshapen finger because her mother put it in the hinged area of the door and slammed the door. Then wouldn't let her get medical help. To my mother's credit, she never laid a hand on me.

I was going to say the same thing as mama -- Many students have researched child abuse, and singling one child out is a common occurrence (ever read a Child Called It?). I hope Paul is able to get professional help. Interesting theory about the brothers waterloading -- they're definitely playing the game HARD, so it wouldn't surprise me a bit, and it would more clearly explain Bob's disgust w/his team, too.
