Does it seem to anyone else that Bob starts this process every year as a beacon for community, support, friendship and whether it's the stress or his true stripes coming out... is far less likeable by the last episode? On the other hand, Jillian starts out like satan with PMS and by the end is crying with her team at least once per week, is their best friend and confidante and seems to always be on the high road. Wish I could figure out if it's them or just the editting but it seems to happen every year (although it's more extreme this season).

We have the beauties versus the beasts. The only thing that can save this season for me is Vicky under the yellow line with Ed or Heba and Vicky going home!

Was this filmed a year ago or are they pretending that it is Thanksgiving?

I've gotten very disillusioned with Bob this season. I used to like him, but now I feel that it is more about the competition for him than the people. I still think he and Jillian are both very supportive of the contestants and I appreciate that, but I am not enjoying the focus on "The Biggest Game Players" instead of "The Biggest Loser." And I love the game playing of reality shows, so it has to be bad if I hate it!

The extra thinly veiled commercials they are throwing in are also getting annoying. They could do the same thing with a bit more subtlety.

And it was bad the Thanksgiving "I am so sad to be away from my family at Thanksgiving" when it wasn't even Thanksgiving. I think they have a bunch of particularly silly people involved in the production of the show this year!

I don't like shows that think the viewers are dumb. That includes shows that fake occasions that could not possibly have been happening when the show was taped.

I also agree about Bob. He starts off great and then it becomes all about winning the game at all costs rather than focussing on the people who are trying to make their lives better by losing the weight and keeping it off. Jillian is tough and in some ways she is abusive in the way she trains people but she truly seems to care about the people she is trying to help. Bob cares too but he puts too much emphasis on his "team" and a member from his "team" winning.

I don't mind the product placements. They are so blatantly obvious I find them entertaining.

I like the way Bob trains with them vs. Jillian's almost abusive style. I really wish Bob would understand that it isn't about the team winning, it's about the individual winning. Amy should have sent Vicky home when she had the chance but I think Bob made her believe she had to keep "the team" togethere even though he knew what a "B" Vicky was being to Amy.

I can't be upset that Amy was sent home last week. That was her own doing, and she should have known better. I do though think that Bob had a major part in her decision, but it was still hers alone to make.

I don't know about how they are editing, but I would rather be under Jillian's wing than Bob's. Just work my ass out, and let me alone play the game, thankyouverymuch.

I just don't want Vicky to win & I don't want her DH to win the consolation either. I don't want them to get anything more than they already have. Heck, they're going to Hawaii!

I would rather Michelle or her mother win but won't mind too much if it's Ed or Heba.

Either Amy or Colleen for the consolation win though.

It's on - everything crossed that Vicky falls below the yellow line with either Heba or Ed.

I thought [Vicky] looked terrible on Tyra's show. Her makeup was way too pale/pasty looking compared to her arms/chest. Maybe the makeup people did that on purpose??

It is so obvious that either Heba, Ed or [Vicky] will win the whole show. IMO that's very sad that such mean spirited people will win...the only thing that makes me happy is knowing that they will most likely gain it all back LOL
