Even if she wasn't caught up in the sandbagging controversy, I would find her hard to like because of the way she acted towards her husband. It's not for me to judge. They may be in gushy, mushy love but it just looked harsh and controlling and pushy to me. ETA some people come across really badly on these shows. I'd be willing to bet I would be one of them because I come accross direct and not at all saccharine.

Ditto disclaimers Seamonkey but I am wondering what Jillian is thinking. You can hardly pull up a page on the web without being assailed by a Jillian Michael's ad. I have lost a little respect for her because she seems like a sell out. Gone Hollywood, so to speak. Hopefully Bob will stick with product placement and not thin out his franchise like Jill seems to be doing.

Just a fun FYI: I live in Des Moines, where Rebecca is from from last season. Anyway, Daniel has moved here....was on the news. Got a job at a fitness and nutrition store here. Talked about how they fell in love after the show.....(just a summary)

So glad that Daniel and Rebecca are making it. Tho of all the people from last season, they were the last two that I would have thought would hook up.

Jillian Michaels Faces Third Lawsuit Against Her Fat-Burning Pills Us Magazine - February 17, 2010 8:12 PM PST The third lawsuit against the Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control pill supplement was filed late Tuesday in Los Angeles County Court. Kathy Hensley claims the diet pills contain a "potentially lethal" ingredient called citrus aurantium, which can cause high blood pressure and cardiac issues in rare instances. In addition to suing Michaels, Hensley names the pills' maker Thin Care, Basic Research and Walgreens. She's suing for less than $5,000. After the first suit was filed, Michaels, 36, told the new issue of Us Weekly in a statement that the claims against her pills -- which contain coffee bean extract and guarana -- are "entirely without merit. "I stand behind all of my products," she added. ThinCare also shot back to Us, "We are confident we will prevail."

Getting a kick out of how indignant everyone is at Michael's choices. Like he ate 2K+ calories so he could be fair to the others? Huh? Now if Sunshine was smart, she would get allies among the couples that were split to throw the weigh in. Get rid of Michael and put O'Neal on their powerhouse team

Yes, but he was darned lucky that he did. I agree with getting rid of Miggy - she didn't have a team attitude, although I truly think she was trying as hard as she could to lose weight. She really seems to have been a difficult person to be around for the most part. And in regard to the experts in the article - while I don't disagree with their point of view the fact of the matter is that most of the people on this show would NOT be making any attempt at all to lose weight if they weren't on television. Most of them have had a long history of weight problems...if it takes getting on television and doing this extreme program to lose weight then more power to them and the BL people...hopefully they are getting counseling about how to sustain the weight loss in their real lives. It is a great opportunity and I know I would line up to be able to do it!

I would have taken the gamble that Michael wouldn't get immunity. It would have been good strategy.

I would keep Michael on my team for a while because he does for the most part pull good numbers. Lance, however, I wonder about -- for the amount of weight he has to lose and the fact that he appears overall in fairly decent physical shape (except for the obvious amount of weight he has to lose) he doesn't seem to be losing that much...does he not work as hard or does he, like his wife, have a metabolic issue (yes, I'm being a little sarcastic)? I would tend to think that if he doesn't start working harder soon that he is the one dragging down the team as a whole.

The reason I would have gone after Michael is because he had a taste of power and I think he would have taken it further. Once the bruhaha of the team picking wore off, I think Michael would have built a protection alliance on his team. The old I picked you for the best team now you owe me strategy. I know I underestimated Michael. His humble guy act may be real enough but there is a pretty good brain behind the curtain. Michael could be dangerous. And because of his high weight, he has to pull really big numbers to keep up the percentage. I would be gunning for Michael for a number of reasons.

Michael only got immunity AT the weigh-in. He sure as heck didn't have it during the week (he gave that away). This is a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" because no matter who got the power, you cannot make everyone happy.

I agree you cannot make everyone happy. And as the holder of the power, Michael did the right thing to do the best for himself. But if I was on the other side, that is everyone who is not Michael, I would be looking at him as a pretty smart cookie. And a huge threat. So I would be gunning for him.

Michael will be okay if he doesn't let the GAME dictate what he does from now on.. and he probably needs to keep losing lots of weight.. but he had that to lose. I'm sure he thought he was doing his adopted mom Miggy a big favor by choosing her for his stacked team, but that backfired and he has lost that support and probably has Lance gunning for him, now. I'd have had to juggle too.. Lance could continue to stay for various reasons but I do agree that Miggy could be sort of a downer at times. Michael's whole attitude sucked though.. hope he can lose that cocky 'tude and just get down to getting healthier. I'd have more respect if he had just named the people and not tried to yammer on about how it was best for each of them.

Melissa goes home; Darrell and Cheryl must fight to stay. It looked like Cheryl would be out when we last saw them.. since her angle was a bit off. Six minutes in, Darrell is uncomfortable. Cheryl with crooked torch, adjusting. Daris worried. Seven minutes. eight minutes.. nine, just under ten minutes and Darrell's torch falls. He's upset, his daughter cries. Darrell has lost 75 pounds and is on his way home. Alli and others encourage him. Hard to say goodbye to daughter Drea. Hmm we have to wait for 2 hours to see "Darrell Today". Temptation Challenge: Zillions of chocolate chip cookies await the Losers when they meet up with Alli. Time to team back up: Blue vs Black. Winner of today's temptation gets to choose Blue vs Black. One player, maybe you, has total control. And something else. They can choose one person to have immunity this week, including themselves. Time to opt in or out.. raise hand at count of three.. if you are playing. (seems like most would play, if not all) Drea (black) and Michael (white) raise hands.. they play classic game of memory (concentration), try to match "choose teams" cards. But many snack items involved. If you get a match the other one eats, or you eat. Drea wants to NOT eat.. no match. Drea eats a cookie. Michael eats a cookie. Drea eats a cookie, Michael, another.. Drea, getting stomach ache. Michael has a potential match and misses it.. cookie. Drea makes the match and Michael has to eat 80 cal, plus Drea gets another turn.. cookie for Drea. Michael, potential match, misses again.. cookie (four each). Drea matches, Michael gets 360 cal muffin, Drea another pick, potential match.. and Michael gets a 340 cal pretzel. Drea again, another possible match and Michael gets a 490 cal fruit pie, He says she is looking for matches but not for the big match.. Drea hits a golden ticket! and no match. cookie.. Michael potential match and Drea gets the PBJ sandwich. Michael, another potential match, misses it. 1960 cal for Michael 1120 for Drea. She makes a match and Michael gets 90 cal more. He feels sick. Drea match, 160 cal for Michael. 2310 cal. Now Michael is up.. and finds the second golden ticket.. but can he find the first one?? Hell yeah.. 2310 cal but he wins the power. Drea ate 1320 cal. Michael chooses six for each team; odd person out gets immunity. He gets time to think it over. All others are worried. Gray team is sure they will be split up. Michael says cannot make anyone happy, he'll be hated and targeted, more important is to look out for himself. We see preview that Jillian and Bob will react.. Jillian is bleeped. Time for Michael to reveal his decisions: {Blue Team: Bob: Koli, Daris, Lance, Miggy, Sunshine, Michael Black Team: Jillian: Sam, Cheryl, Drea, Stephanie, Sherry, Ashley Immunity: (team that loses weigh in will have immune player join them) O'Neal Says he had to put himself first, first time in his life, Order picked: Sam for Black team Koli for Blue team (splitting them up.. he says game play. Koli says blocking him out, spewing garbage.) Cheryl to Black team. Daris to Blue team (splitting them up) Drea to Black team (she told him she wanted Bob) Lance (a great man) to Blue team (he had told him he wanted Bob's team so he's happy) Koli notes that they (Blue) are REALLY stacked as far as weight loss. Stephanie gets Black team (says clearly she is on what Michael deems to be the weaker team) Miggy (Mah best friend) to Blue. Sherry to Black team Sunshine (a great girl) to Blue team Ashley to Black team (she is happy to be with her mom but says it is crap, all these women (and Sam)) Michael puts himself on the Blue team (big surprise) O'Neal gets immunity, which means he may not be with Sunshine on the Blue team. Michael wants to assure himself a spot on the strongest team. Sunshine says Blue team is really stacked but she is worried about losing her dad, or being separated. Well, pretty clear why Jillian was upset. Bob and Jillian come in.. and Jillian immediately says "you cannot be serious." The most effed up thing she has ever seen. Bob is smiling but wonders about O'Neal. Michael says he picked the teams. Jillian says how is this fair, you didn't give them a chance.. splitting up partners, family members. Michael says don't make me the bad guy.. he sneers at Jillian. He says Bob said to make this about himself, he didn't make up the game. Jillian says you are right.. I get triggered by things that are unfair. Off to the treadmills. Black team almost all lighter people. Ashley wants to prove they can win. Bob is sort of lashing out at Michael over all the calories he ate. Bob tells the members of his "stacked" team not to assume they don't have to work hard. Seething looks in the house at night.. Michael says he was strategic so he has a strong team. He tells Miggy he wants to be here. Miggy tells us things will be very different. Koli wants to be on the show but not on Mike's team. Stephanie and Ashley plot to show Mike that he was wrong.. Stephanie wants to work with Ashley and Sam. They are close with Drea, need to think of alliance. Miggy tells Michael that the others don't have to lose as much weight. Michael threatens Miggy that if she doesn't put up good losses, she is going.. he has no use for her. (Mike seems to think he's on The Sopranos and he can just "take out" the competition to "win"..) Jillian meets with Black team, pushes Larabars, all natural. Big Surprise, they like them. Team Challenge They met Alli.. pulling together as a team today. They lift their banner to the top of a tallish building. They have to do it from the roof. Winners get letters from home. O'Neal gets to pick a team to root for.. and he'll get what they get. He picks Blue, with his daughter. The bldg is the Sheraton Universal. Koli tells us Blue team has a clear advantage. Four big guys against just Sam. Sam hopes to pull it off. Blue is ahead.. but Black working as a unit, still behind. and more and more behind. Blue team wins letters from home Michael says he can "feel us bonding". He roars loudly and glances at the sad Black team members. Sam tells them if they want letters they have to work for the Post Office. Lance to Michael "Thanks, Bro!" Miggy says her fiance lost 30 pounds already. Mike cries, letter from his best friend at home. We see lots of letter reading. Dr Huizenga meets with Ashley.. Ashley's inner age was 57 and now.. down to 49 (she is really 27). She has gained 8 years of life. Sam went from 50 (he is 23). Now he's 46. Risk down 50% (stopping smoking and drinking.. it will come down more after a year). Last Chance Workout: Bob yelling, Jillian working out her team. She says all the odds are against her. Bob tells us they have to think in a team mentality.. they get full of themselves and it can blue up in a team's face. Michael put together a strong team, have to go into weigh in and kick ASS. Miggy worries that she won't be safe, just in case. Michael tells us Black team is strong and very tight together. Jillian will use every trick she has. Jillian really encouraging them. Weigh in: Sherry hopes the underdogs can send Michael a message. Team with greatest % of weight loss goes to elimination (highest % loss on that team is immune from elimination). O'Neal, third week of immunity, first up to weigh in. O'Neal is down 9 pounds, to 216. 2.77% Blue team is up first. Michael chose the team and he's up first. Michael is again told of Rudy's record.. if he loses more than 7 pounds tonight, he'll beat Rudy's record. From 432, he's down to 417. 15 pounds. He gets the record. There is quiet clapping. He's down 109 pounds now. 3.47% (team .85%) Sunshine is up now. from 239, she is down 7 pounds to 232. 2.93% (team 1.24%) Lance up now. He says the 300 area has been his brick wall. From 305, he's now 300, down 5. ACK! 1.64% (team 1.52%) Miggy is next up. She was 199, now is 195, down 4 pounds for a 2.01% loss. She swears.. visibly upset.. furious. Says she just focused on a good number from her team. Bob says she is doing everything that she can, set up for great week next week. Miggy feels that she failed them. The roof fell on her head, let down the team, failed self. (team 1.75%) Daris is up now. His priority is Blue team winning, second is his mom staying here. Daris was 274 and now is 267, down 7 pounds and 2.55%. (team 2.14%) Last person up: Koli.. Koli was 326, and now is 316, down 10 pounds. 3.07% (team 2.7% 48 pounds) Black team.. in order to win tonight, they must have lost more than 39 pounds, little more than 6 pounds apiece. Michael claims to be worried.. says it will be close (of course HE is personally safe with his %) Drea is up next. From 255, she is now 250, down 5 pounds and 1.96%. (team 0.34%, 35 lb to go) Cheryl is now up. She was 191 pounds, now is 187, down 4 pounds. 2.09% (team 0.62% 31 pounds to go) Now Sherry is up. She started the week at 177 pounds and currently is at 171! 6 pounds down. 3.39%. (team 1.03% 25 to go to be safe) Remaining three members need to have lost more than 24 pounds, 8 each. Sam is up.. expecting double digits.. LOL.. asked how it is to be the only man.. he shows his Jillian style black nail polish. Sam started at 298 and now is down to 290, 8 pounds, but still disappointing with two women left to weigh in. 2.68% (team 1.58 with 17 needed to be safe) Jillian is looking grim. Sunshine is confident.. says he usually pulls much more. Stephanie says she has never pulled 8 pounds since week one.. She was 221 pounds. Feeling good but wants the 8 pounds. She is down 8 pounds to 213.! Miggy gives her side eye roll. 3.62% (team 3.18 with 9 pounds left to lose to be safe.. and Ashley left to weigh in) All comes down to Ashley. She needs to lose more than 8 pounds to keep Black team safe. She is totally having doubts about this. She started at 311 and now is 301, down TEN POUNDS!! to 301. (too bad Michael is safe) 3.22% Jillian is blown away, impressed, proud.. says the only way they won was pure heart. Ashley can't wait to be under 300, too. Black team 41 pound loss 2.82% Blue team 48 pound loss 2.70%. Blue team is facing elimination. Michael is safe. He says Thank God or they might send him home. O'Neal will take the place of the person who goes home. He fears Sunshine will be sent home. Black team is done for tonight. Deliberation: Michael says he picked them because they are good people and he trusts all of them. To see any of them leave is disgusting. Koli says it is because of the two lower numbers (that would be Miggy and Lance. Miggy says she isn't lowest but she did what she could. Lance feel he let himself down. It is selfish but he has to put "me before the team". (he was lowest % loss) He doesn't want to go home and he is sorry. Koli says the vote has to be the best choice for the TEAM. Michael says "shouldn't have been us). Voting: Michael is safe. Lance votes first. Says it should be me but I can't vote for me.. Votes for Miggy. Daris says stressing out can affect a weigh in Votes Miggy Miggy: Thought fairest was person with lowest %: Lance Michael: Says horrible to send someone home. Cannot sent Miggy home. Lance Mike is crying. Lance says no hard feelings. Mike never thought they'd be sitting here. Didn't want anyone to go, especially those two. Black team decides in a tie. Sunshine says we failed as a team Miggy Koli. The reason we lost, need to take ownership, don't know where Lance's head is at, we all miss home and family. We have O'Neal coming in, cannot do challenges, Lance is awesome at challenges Miggy (huh? not what he did but the part about where Lance's head had been) Mike is crying Miggy leaves. She says the house won't be the same without her. This was a privilege people only dream of. She is finding the lost self inside her. Will be the new and improved Migy. She started at 240. She weighs 179 now. She was stressed all the time. She has learned to meditate and that is helping her lose weight. Nicole from Season 7 comes to Miggy's house to welcome Miggy into the family and support her. Miggy is stoked. Nicole working out with Miggy in gym. Changed her energy from negative to positive.She hopes to be from a size 154 to size 5 by the finale. Darrell shows a jacket he hopes to fit into again. He started at 413 lost 120 pounds. We see him working out with his wife Karolee. And he now fits that jacket. Hopes to be 200 by the finale.

Michael made a lot of new enemies in his choices in doing what was 'best' for himself. Was it really? He's a huge target now; whereas before he wasn't. He also lost the one person who had his back, Miggy, so he's kind of up that ummm...creek w/o a paddle now. I thought it was the kiss of death for him breaking the cousins up, esp. when one said he didn't want to be there if not on the same team as his cousin; however...alas...it was just more editing by BL producers, because next week it shows that same cousing wanting to keep his new 'team' strong and win. With the editing done the way it was, I thought he might throw the weigh-in just to vote Michael off or go home himself. Sadly, it was just editing. I do believe he could have made decent teams w/o completely staking his. His greed may come back to haunt him.

We are liking this season of the biggest loser. For as irritating as it was to see Michael set up a structured game move to try and keep himself safe you can't so much blame him. The show tempts them to do something like this and then edits in the fallout of that type of game move. For all the personal bitching by his fellow contestants you know way down deep inside those selected to help him along on the blue team were very happy for two reasons. It was suppose to work to their advantage and if not he's an easy scape goat. I think he made a bold move that a lot of people would have been very tempted to do and at least he had the guts to actually do it. Initially he did benefit from it but there was as many negatives to it as well. Apparently he played down the realization that the black team would always have a lower number to achieve which has been the shows way of balancing a mans ability to lose more weight vs a womans weight loss. Three things I hate about this show. The drawn out weigh in's where they start showing commercials every two damn minutes before revealing the numbers and that constant jaw dropping look on someones face and then the structure of the "game" where the focus really isn't weight loss but a lust for the big money so that they will do anything to get there and then play it off like it's the contestants fault for playing the game when the show invites that type of situation. My third complaint is the trainers taking on the role of Psych counselor. I know thats for added drama but maybe they should think of adding a pro for those moments in the show to counter balance that. Jillian going from screaming at someone until they cry to giving them personal advice after ripping their shit appart seems odd at times. My wife hates Jillian and I think she's is the best thing on that show. She's hardcore. If I was looking for a trainer who was going to not baby me and push me she'd be my choice. Bob would annoy the hell out of me. Don't know specifically why but I just wouldn't be able to work with him. Edit to add the show hit gold when the black team prevailed after Michael worked so hard to load the outcome. You can't script that and can only cross your fingers stuff like that happens. Two additional points to Jillian for once again proving she's one hell of a trainer.

Cricket, I believe even if Michael did try to make the teams fair, there is no way he could have pleased everyone and would like be damned no matter what he did. So he was best to stack the odds in his favor. He probably should have stayed out of the competition to begin with. Had he, Drea would have been doing the picking.

Did you see the expression on Bob's face when Michael made the comment about Bob telling him to always look after himself? CAUGHT! LOL That's why I don't care for Bob, in a lot of ways he is a bigger game player then the contestants. Maybe it's an ego thing because his teams are usually behind Jillian's by the final. I thought if the trainer's were going to be mad at Michael it should have been for giving in to the temptation to begin with. Once he won then he would be an idiot to not try to build the strongest team he could. If he had done anything but that then I would have kicked his a$$ as his trainer. You eat all that food and for nothing? Was a dumb reaction to logical game-play IMO.

Well for as much as those put on the black team didn't care for his choices if it had been them they also would have put together something that worked to their personal advantage which would have included putting their partner ( if they are still there ) on their team and whoever they are aligning with as a needed vote so they could control things on their team. You can easily bag on him because he's the one who did it but they would have all done the same thing one way or another. If the show see's a move like this screwing too many people over they can throw in a comp where someone can switch things up real fast.

Rissa I agree about Bob. In fact I think he's constantly in his teams ear suggesting little things that go beyond just losing weight. When the whole water loading routine started showing up a few seasons back I was convinced it was his subtle idea that he would never admit to. I can see where a contestant would be thrown that suddenly he would act so dramatic about a game move when he's probably planting the seeds himself. Thats why I think the black team winning this last weigh in was comical. Even with what should have been an obvious win for the blue team they lost LOL.
