This is the first time I have actually disliked someone on this show and here this year there are two! I wanted Vickie to go so bad this show but maybe next show.

I've just watched the first half hour. Wow. Let's just say that Brady & Vicky don't have to wait until the end of the show. I already think they're the biggest losers. And that's not a good thing.

Well said! I was a little unimpressed with Bob for buying Brady's story. When it appeared Bob might crack, Vicky jumps in and says, "He's not eating" which Bob accepted as the truth, knowing she doesn't tell the truth. I thought they decided last year if people were playing with their weight, there would be consequences. Now Bob is calling it 'playing the game.' They need to stop that right away. Anyone who goes on a show to lose weight and plays those kinds of games should be disqualified. I did like how Bob called Heba Vicky's soldier, LOL. He's definitely on to her. I couldn't help but wonder if Vicky may have done some water loading before last night's weigh-in, since she lost the least on her team. If she did, she might lose more next week, keeping her safe in the individuals. Darn! Hopefully, now that they are playing individually, the others will boot Vicky, Heba and Brady, since they know they are an alliance and suspect Brady of water loading.

I thought Brady came across like a middle school kid last night when he went with Heba to attack Phillip. Heba looked bad saying she forgives Phillip but still called him names, didn't sound like she forgave him at all. I really like Amy C. and the black team. No surprise that the blue team won the competition, Brady is very strong.

Cricket said:I thought they decided last year if people were playing with their weight, there would be consequences. Now Bob is calling it 'playing the game.' Cricket you are right but the *consequences* are only if they GAIN weight. As long as they are clever/lucky enough to keep their weight loss small enough to manipulate without going negative they are safe from repercussion. It's the part of the process that turns my stomach. I would be much happier with a weight loss show that focussed on specific diet plans, exercise rules, etc but this gets discussed every season and there are just too many people who enjoy the politics/back-stabbing/game-playing for the show to change. PS How does Bob keep his eyes from rolling when doing that placement ad for gum every season? LOLOL It's a good tip but so obvious in its execution.

What about that first challenge with the food choices? The question was which is the better food choice not which has less calories, right? When they put those 18 beers against the chicken burrito with the works, I knew that the beers were light but even if they only put up 2 beers, the better choice for a meal would be the meal not the beer! In what reality would the 18 beers minus one be a better choice?

So in 2 weeks all the contestants that were voted off are back and in the previews it showed Brady yelling @ Phillip and Phillip saying "You want to hit me" Brady is a piece of work.

I find that the whole Vicky/Brady/Heba stuff is taking away from the other people. Good thing they are going to singles, I wouldn't want the black team get creamed b/c it's all females left. I think Renee shows a lot of strength in the challenges. You can see that Amy C lost a lot of her weight in her face and her arms. Me, I lose weight first in my already flat as a pancake butt..lol

I did take notes out of habit.. week7 Phil says Blue team's decision to eliminate his wife was based on him.. makes his sad.. she could do nothing to control that situation. Phil feels really isolated. Not sure where he stands. Doesn't know who he can trust. She's his sounding board. Morning in kitchen. Bob arrives and asks where is Vicky?. Heba snarks did you think it would be me? Brady gets two votes, Amy gets 3. Bob takes Vicky ahd Brady aside and says he deson't believe the three pound weight loss. He tells us Vicky is the mastermind. Vicky tells he no, she would not have done that. Bob tells us that Vicky is the biggest gameplayer ever in that house. Vicky says they were completely flabbergasted. Bob says it doesn't add up, people. If you are playing this game and not telling me.. Vicky says not what happened. She tells us they really wanted to win this one, doen't know what happened. Then she gets quiet and just smiles. (Sort of like she smiled when their team came in second).. Vicky says he isn't eating every four hours. Bob is upset. Bob tells us he lost only 3 pounds because he wasn't eating. Bob lectures him. Do what I say. Yes. Vicky says we feel we are at risk this week She says we have a deal with Heba, but if their team was low this week and Amy C was Biggest Loser then one of us would have to go home. Bob says because of the deal with Heba? Bob tells us that Heba is the soldier the swing vote for Vicky. Bob says Brady's intentions are good, the that wife, that WIFE, she's Shakespearean.. Temptation Tables of covered food, two lectures. Alison tells them they are on the show for making bad choices. Today will be a test.. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Guest judge is Dave Zinczenko.. author of Eat this NOT that!. Two foods THIS or THAT and they have to guess which is better (healkthier). First team with 5 correct answers, wins the temptation. They gain a 40 lb advantage in the challenge. It has to do with game play. Heba says if it involves carrying 40 lb less, that is 10 lb a person.Heba vs Michelle?
THIS | THAT | Blue.Black | Score | Hot Dog with Ketchup and relish | Nachoes with cheese | Heba THIS | Michelle THIS | Blue 1 Black 1 | Small spaghetti w/marinara spicy It. sausavge Side Caesar salad | small penne w/marinara garlic shrimp garden side salad w/fat free It dressing | Vicky THAT | Renee THAT | Blue 2 Black 2 | Chicken & shrimp fajitas w/.the works | 24 chicken nuggest w/BBQ sauce | Amy THAT | Coleen THIS | Blue 3 Black 2 | Multi-grain bagel w/light cream chees | Ham Egg Cheese English Muffin sandwich | Brady THAT | Phil THAT | Blue 4 Black 3 | Grilled chicken burrito w/the works | 18 Michelob lites | Heba THIS | Michelle THAT | Blue 5 Black 3 | Blue wins advantage. Brady is really stoked; blue is back. In gym. Heba bashing Phillip, talking about Phillip not liking her, this is about people getting healthy, people working hard etc. straw that broke the camel's back. Coleen says we were enjoying a nice meal and blue team approaches them .. want to talk about something we heard. Coleen says (to ua) are you kidding, are you really doing this during dinner, how rude. Heba says it has been really bothering us. Michelle says to us..Personally, I kind of thought it was really tacky Heba says I keep hearing that you're just still talking about me.. (Vicky sitting next to her..) And I don't understand why? Phillip says this all started with me once again Yeah They guys talk over each other Nobody said, I'll respond to you (Heba rolling her eyes, waving hands)) Heba says maybe everyone is lying to me, but I just don't understand. I don't talk about you (ROFL!!!! She doesn't talk about him?) Vicky tells us we felt like if we called Phil out about it that his team would realize he's a complete dingaling, he's just trying to cause trouble. Phil says when I talked to Brady on the basketball court.. Heba interrupts "about me hugging Bob in front of the cameras and who do I think I am? Why would you say that about me? Bob and I are friends and why would you say hateful things about me, Phil, I don't speak OF you, about you, I say nothing. Brady And you think I wasn't going to tell her. Heba you think my friend wouldn't stick up for me? Why would you just go to him and BLASPHEMY me? Brady tells us it is down to me and Phil.. room for only one rooster you know, I'm not leaving. Heba.. You said HATEFUL things about me, to my friend and you thought he wouldn't tell me and then you smeared me, out of the blue Coleen.. Why doe you yell , why don't you just ask a question? Coleen says to us when Heba and Phil started their little back and forth confrontation, it isn't something I need to worry about.. Coleen gets up from the table. so I got up and I walked outside. Phil doesn't deny saying that.. he tells us he had no idea that this whole controversy had been brewing or that thinhs were being said behind the scenes because when I had my conversation with Brady on the BB court, I was not saying anything offensive against Heba, it was all a game play type of conversation, so whatever he took back to her was completely blown out of proportion (we see Brady and Heba talking and the camera zooms in on Heba, out of proportion) Heba asks if she's being loud or mean Renee tells us the other team takes things and I think they take maybe one word and explode it into a big mountain Heba rattles on that Phil just hates her, it is very hurtful Michelle tells us that she thinks the blue team is trying to cause strife between black team and Phil. I was LIVID Heba says to Phil, I can still look you in the eye and say I forvie you (she and Brady sitting with crossed arms, not looking one bit forgiving.. Heba, You have to live with the fact that you're being hateful; I don't Phil says he doesn't hate you.. but he is interrupted, WHY did you say.. Heba tells us she cannot believe that someone is trying to turn people against each other, he needs to just shut shut his mouth and worry about losing weight Phil says "your mind's made us.. again Heba interrupts him, shouts him down and says I told you I forgave you, I'm a bigger person' I forgive you, you have to live with the fact that you look like a slimey snake in the grass and I'm embarrassed for you and I don't want your team judging you Heba tells us that Phil doesn't deserve to havelike a person like me in his life (ed.. I don't either, Heba!!!!) A quality friend.. she shakes here head in disbelief.. Phil tells us at that moment he felt very lonely and very isolated like everyody in the room has got something against me and I didn't know (Heba walked out and next we see the vour black team mates are at the table, so Coleen has returned. bvt we see blue bodies on the other side of the counter so they are still there in the kitchen... Phil leaves the room, tells us it hurt him really bad. Coleen says he was really embarrassed and went to his room to be alone. She and Michelle and Renee wanted to be there to let Phil know that we don't care what the Bue team asked about him We see them in his room telling him they love him for who he is.. Phil says hecannot say anything, doesn't know what has been said .. His team reassures him.. blue monster.. Phil feels better. Black team is solid. Competition Huge cranes.. we see machines that could lift a person up in the air, we see things hanging in air.. Phil says every time he thinks he has this game figured out... Allison greets them.. says all here to lose weight. All made it half way through the journey, amazing progress.. black team has lost combined weight of 180 pounds, blue team 226 pounds. She says the more weight you've lost, the less you have to struggle with up there. Coleen wishes she never told anyone she's afraid of heights. Each team witll be in a harness.. they show all four of a team belly down on a hammock thing suspended in air (hardhats on.. each holding onto a rope connected to the central platform thing. each team on opposite side. Hang onto that rope as long as you can. Whoever holds on the longest wins but you will be struggling against your own body weight Vicky said it is a pulley system and like some amusement park rides 9?) Allison says when your entire team lets go, you are out. Black team has to carry an additional fourty pounds. Close up of hands holding rope.. hands not in gloves and a big thick nylon looking rope.. Michelle tells us 40 pounds is a lot of weight. The team that wins gets to choose any player from the opposite team and make their weight not count. Vicky says this is a situation for blue team because we need Brady's number in this weight in Allison says you will not have to reveal who you have chosen until we get to the weigh in. So we see them all up in the air, holding on. Black team concerned because Coleen is freaked being up in the air. Phil says that was one of our first concerrns... they put her on the inside and put him on the inside next to Coleen because he's stronger than the girls. Blue team, they put Brady in the middle, that would help those on the outside. Blue team carrying 932 lb, Black team 918 with the 40 lb Asks how Coleen how she is.. Vicky says if we lose we are surely gone this week. Allison brings up black team holding 40 extra pounds., in the zone. Heba says it is hard. Amy whispers to Heba are your hands burning. Heba tells her to flex one hand, hold on with other. Amy sais her hands went numb. Allison keeps talking as she always does to distract in comps. Blue team encourages each other. Allison asks Michelle how the extra 40 lb feels. Michells says holding on PHil says they could see that Vicky was flixing hands, felt goo. 25 minutes. At 30 minutes, one member of each team will have to let go. 5 min to discuss. Michyelle wanted it to be her... she says Colen shouldn't let go because of her fear of heights. Blue.. they didn't want Brady to let go so they tried Vicky letting go. So.. VIcky and Michelle let go Phil can really feel the extra pressure. He has all of Michelle's weight (Michelle is next to him.) Phil says not having that much difficultly until she let go.. not sure how long he can hang on. Vicky tells us about letting go, curve ball. Allison talks about what they are competing for. They show Michelle/Vicky letting go Renee says they couldn't feel it but PHilliip started struggling, was it mentally or if he could just feel it more. Phil's hands almost at end of rope. Amy tells us they knew thay had it. 45 minutes. Phil says Brady had six inches more rope than PHIL did.. became a battle of wills. We see Phil slip off. so just Coleen and Renee Vicky says I thought holy cow, do not let go! We have to win this. Coleen struggling Michells says no way two of them could hold 900 lb. Coleen slips off. Heba says REnee alone. She is the bionic woman, no way. Allison yuells about 918 pounds at the end of the rople. Renee is going to let go, counts it down and lests go. Blue team celebrates. Blue team has won their first challenge as a team. They let go. Black even claps for them.. Phil says they have to pick who they think is gonna lose the most weight. Renee says the fear is they will come up short and one of us will have to go home. Heba says come hell or high water they were going to win. Upstairs they celebrate, smirking and dancing. They wilkl run numbers They talk weights of other team and losses last week. They want to choose well. They think they will leave Phillip because he's heavier has to lose bigger number/for percent. so maybe smart to pull Michelle, who consistently pulls bigger numbers. Then because the black team is usually consistent, they calculate percents THey don't decide. Black team relaxing on couch.. Jillian comes in.. they tell her about the challenge. She's not thrilled, knows they have a disadvantage. They tell her of the reward.. it will be 3 against 4. Jillian is concerned. They think it will be Phil or Renee. Jillian says definitely setbacks but have to concentrate on losing weight. Jillian says put challenge behind you and let's get back in the gym. Heba tells Bob she's hungry, he jokes about how often she snacks.. caolories precious. We get a product placement for no caolorie extra gum. Ready to work out? Last Chance Workoug Contestants feel the heat. They hype the weight loss that breaks the biggest loser record books. Bob says there will be a lot of running today. Ten miles. Black team working in gym, jumping, weights, pushups. Working Coleen hard. Heba and blues on track. Jillian works Renee hard. Weigh in Brady says they have to choose carefully, or it could come back to bite them. Allison asks Heba who they chose from the black team to not count.. Michelle. Michells says lo and behond, they picked ME.. why?? Heba says they crunched weights and percentages. Michelle Previous weight 202, new weight 200, loss of 2 pounds. Total losee 42 lb Allison asks Vicky if they still are happy with their choice.. lol Renee Previoius weignt 225lb, new weight 222, loss of 3 pouonds. Total loss 45 (lowest number she's had) Jillian says they had big numbers last week.Renee lost 10 lb in 14 days above ave for a girl Black 3 lb .44% Coleen Previous weight 179lb had a huge week last week, too. New weight 177, loss of 2 lb, total 41lb lost Black 5lb .74% Phil Previous weight 272 (misses wife and family) new weight 269, down 3lb, total of 62lb Amy comments that 3 pound loss sucks for a guy. PHil is disappointed, let things going on artound him influence him. Black 8lb 1.28% Blue team next.. Blue needs to have lost more than 11lb. Brady expects a good number. Bob is nervious. Vicky says Bob told them they would put lowest person first and they were stunned that Brady went first (confirming that they do pre weigh in but don't get the numbers until the "weigh in" that is filmed. Brady Previous weight 283lb New weight is 270, down 13 lb, so all are happy on blue team His total down is 71lb now Team runs up, Heba first, she says she "made" everyone bum rush him, good job.. he worked his butt off and deserved that 13 lb. They have never had one person beat an entire team. Allison again rubs it in that Brady lost more weight than the entire black team. Michelle tells us he lost 13lb, good chance he's been playing some weight loss games with us and when we see that 13, we realize we got played last week. Bob announces that Brady did every thing right, deserves this. Black 8 1.18% Blue 13 1.39% Vicky Previous weight 203lb, new weight 201, down 2 lb, total 45lb Black 8 1.18% Blue 15 1.61% Heba Previous weight 2253 lb, New weight 247, -6lb total loss 47lb) She's happy Black 8 1.18% Blue 21 2.25% Amy Previous weight 193lb new weight 187 down 6lb total loss of 52lb Amy is biggest loser on campus, Allison points out.. Amy says forget that.. (she tells us good chance of winning) Black 8 1.18% Blue 27 2.9% Black team must eliminate someone tonight but Renee is BL for the team this week, cannot be eliminated. Michelle, Coleen or Phil must go home. Renee tells Michelle that Phil is homesick. Michelle says then we have no guy, see what their guy can go. Coleen comes in.. They've been with us since day 1, Renee tells us, but Coleen doesn't have the numbers to lose that Phil does. Michelle says letting Coleen go is hard, she's agreat person. Coleen says she wouldn't expect Renee to vote off her daughter. Coleen makes a pitch to stay, of course. Phil comes in now. Tells us he could lose a bunch next week after a smell loss this week. He tells them this. Michelle says must have been hard, Amy had a tough week, then Phil did. Phil admits to having been out of it this week, but wants to be there. Elimination Allison suggests that they were resigned to losing. Coleen says no way but Phil talks of being sabotages by the other team, with Amy gone, 20th anniversary comeing up, etc. Renee votes for Phillip; his heart is at home with Amy. Michelle votes for Phil.. integrity, Phil new to their team, been with Amy longer. Phil votes for Michelle. (hmmm) Allison points out that if there is a tie, Blue team breaks the tie. Coleen votes for Phillip.. Phillip leaves the house.. sad music.. Phil tells them not to get beat by the blue team, be tough. Regrets he got too personally involved in the drama. Role model to kids. At Home Phil buys a five diamond anniversary ring, gets roses and stands in the very spot he asked Amy to marry him.. (which evidently is a spot she will appear in.. and she does. She's surprised. He gives her the roses.. asks if she remembers what happened here 20 years ago.. she does. He gets down and asks her to be his wife and gives her the ring. They go upstairs and there is a crowd of friends/family.. and they renew their vows. Phil gets his ring back, hasn't had it on his finger in 15 years, they try it for size and it is close.. Phill jams it on his finger. Very sweet. We see Phil at the beach with the kids. He's down 106lb. Returns in 2 weeks. No longer teams; signles and eliminated players return and then there is a doozy of a twist.

I just have such a hard time with Vicky/Brady and Heba being so bully like and was SO hoping that they'd be beaten soundly but of course with Phil obviously water loading last week, there was no chance. It REALLY bugged me that Bob actually seemed to belive them when he was correct in his accusation and I really didn't like him congratulating Brady so heartily as doing the right thing when he lost the 13 pounds. I felt so bad for Phillip, but him being home seems to be a good thing, in a way. But now that team doesn't have that big potential weight loss. So happy to see that teams will be split up but all seems confused with others returning and whatever the big twist is. I'm also wearying of the taunting comments that Allison is scripted to make during competitions. Just not helpful, IMO.

I usually have a real soft spot for Bob, but gee, he just sounds so gullible! Naivety just doesn't work well on a man. And if he is faking it, I like him even less. I think I want Jillian to win this time.

I quit watching. This show is not about being inspirational and losing weight anymore. I hope Vickie, Brady and Heba gain back every pound they lost. I thought Kai was bad...I'd take Kai over these 3 any day.

This has been one of the most inspirational shows on TV and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching it. However, it is getting to be more and more of a game and less about changing lives. I'm not enjoying it nearly as much.

Same here! I do look forward to the finale and seeing those who look amazing and happy. But if V/B or H were to win, that will be harder.. The thing about the water loading is that they also consume salty stuff to help with holding onto that water weight and then something diuretic to help lose the next week and that isn't a healthy approach, especially for those whose health was impaired coming into the experience. I'd rather see the competitions be for luxury and not such an influence on the gameplay.

I rarely voice an opinion in the show threads because if I said what I REALLY think, I'd get moderated for my first time and aaaaaaaack. I think the poor mods would fall off their chairs. However, I am absolutely appalled by the actions of Heba, Vicky and Brady. Vicky made it very clear that they were there for the money not for a life change. Heba -- I cannot say what I think of her and I'm kicking myself for feeling sorry for her in the beginning. I slept through part of this week's show so I only saw the weigh in part but it was obvious who would go. For the first season ever, I'm rooting with all my being for the black team. I love Bob but he's got a total mess on his hands and he cannot seem to keep his teams from water loading and then dumping. It makes me so angry to see people who are honestly trying to change their lives and get healthy for their families go home because of game manipulation. We, at my home, have thought from the first season that they should send home the person who has over the course of the weeks lost the least percentage of body weight. No voting, just flat out numbers. It might cut the show in half but it would be more fair.

Cutting the show in half would be an improvement. It's way too long, repetitive and drawn-out. It gets ever more so as there are fewer and fewer people left.
