Me too Sea. I saw 7 dark and 6 light. And the reason I counted because I was wondering what Daniel's status might be. And on the topic of Daniel, I am very glad he is back. I like him last season and I think losing more slowly than the other contestants, he might have a better chance at keeping the weight off than some of the contestants have.

Shay, the heaviest person ever, is from Newport Beach.. just a few miles from me and where I went to High School. Wish this was a show where they could have viewing parties but I suppose they cannot be public with their after bodies.. The way I read it was that Daniel is coming back, period and that he "insired" Shay who takes his place as the heaviest ever. I get 9 blue and 7 black in the group picture (cannot cap that). Same with the individual pics. Heck, it might change, but I'll put the colors on the chart.

Another difference this year is that even though they'll compete in pairs, they won't have to pick a trainer and stick with them- they'll be able to use both: http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/jillian-michaels-bob-harper-dish-on-the-biggest-loser-new-season-9478.php

Hmm I'd like to see the starting weights on the official site.. guess we will see soon enough. And I saw a promo where they were wearing various colors for their pairings.. so colors will undoubtedly change. I'm groggy tonight so not attempting any chart updating for now.

There was one of those small magazines at the grocery check out with the new cast and pix of Ali doing exercises. I couldn't consider paying $3.99 for it though.

Here's to hoping that my big brother fix with TVCH continues on with other shows that I watch. I've been watching biggest loser since the start, and would like to state that I think it is a positive show and am looking forward to sharing this season with you folks!

I did. I think it's somewhat unfair that the lady in the hospital is allowed to stay in the show.

First weigh-ins are so misleading. The guy (Mo) that was in the hospital lost 13 lbs and he said he lost it in one day (because that's all he was at the ranch for to that point). Obviously they are losing more water then anything because of the change in diets. Because of that, those who come in with high-salt or other lifestyle induced bloating have an advantage not related to their weight or workout. It's not cheating, but I wish they would make week 1 a non-elimination weigh-in to help balance that out. Or use week 1 to change diet and light workouts and use their weight on Day 7 as the starting point. I'm such a bleeding heart. LOL

Good Morning Everyone! I switched over to the fanale of Big Brother after the first hour of this show last night. Can Anyone tell me if Shay really quit? I saw that Jillian was pretty brutal with her on the first work out. Did they talk her out of it?

Shay came back into the gym at the start of the second hour. She sat on the steps of the gym and took a breather and thought about it all. Of course, editing made it look more dramatic than it was.

I forgot to set the DVR to record this... But now I"m wondering if I should bother. Tuesday nights are already busy. I didn't watch the last season, because I was so disgusted by the previous season with Vicki. Have they changed the format of the game at all, or is it still set up to encourage water loading, etc.? Anyone know if they repeat it later in the week? I'll go take a look at the website.

The only real changes I've seen are that Bob and Jillian are working together to train everyone, so no Bob team and Jillian team. And the groups picked their own partners, rather than coming in as two person teams.

I like a LOT of the folks in this season and am really looking forward to getting to know them better. I especially enjoy watching their success. I wasn't all that impressed with Julio however. He had a sense of arrogance about him that I didn't really warm up to. He couldn't fathom why he was picked last and couldn't figure out any reason for it except that all the pickers had made a mistake. I also didn't appreciate his using his daughters as reasons for staying at the ranch. Single folks have just as much reason to get healthy as married parents do. I'm glad the vote was close. Otherwise it would be sending a really wrong message. Really shocked that TWO people ended up in the hospital, and would have rathered that Tracy went home. If you can't participate, then let the folks who can stay. Thrilled ... absolutely thrilled for Dan that he was able to come in first and win immunity. He has come a long long way. I was tickled that he chose Shay and she was picked first. That had to have been a big boost. I loved Shay's reaction to finding out her reward for accomplishing the steps after much drama and todo...was that she got to to it again. I laughed right out loud. Love the Pink team...and the green team...and the orange team...etc. SO glad my favorite show is back!!!

Oh come on Mary, show some enthusiasm. Did they ever say WHY that woman is in the hospital? I thought her initial issue was that her knees hurt and that's why she was crawling, then she tried to stand up and got dizzy which was to be expected under the circumstances. But, then they said she wasn't responding? Not sure if I missed it or if they never said.

Shay's eyes were not focusing. She was in shock. There is obviously more "drama" keeping the fattest contestant ever on the show.

Just want to clarify although I may very well be the one who is confused. It was Tracy who went to the hospital unresponsive. They never said what she was disagnosed with. Coach Mo said he was dyhydrated, so I expect that could have also been true for Tracy. I agree that she could have gone into shock...but they never said. Shay remained pretty stable throughout I thought....but then I missed the first fifteen minutes which I have forgiven my husband for... but just barely.

I have not really watched this show much in the past but I will this year as I am gong to the gym on a regular basis and attending a Weight Watchers At Work program. But I am curious do the Bob and Jillian always speak so "strongly" to the contestants ? Not a prude here at all; but I was surprised at the F-bombs that were being hurled.

Shay did okay in that first challenge--she came in last, but did complete the entire mile. Tracey didn't pace herself--started out in a sprint and then tried to beat Dan to the finish line--.

Yes...both Jillian and Bob use rough language. Bleeps abound! Thanks Justpassingby...I wondered how Tracey came to such dire straights.

I am so glad they are not pitting Bob and Jillian against each other - However, when Shay went outside after Jillian blasted her to move - Bob looked at Jillian and wanted to go after her - Jillian made such a great point... and she was very firm about making Shay be responsible to come in, to stop going after her... It was such a telling moment imho on the styles of training - Jillian does get in their heads - Bob trains very well - I'd love to have him as a trainer, but Jillian, she moves your a** and gets in your head!!
