Dan's under 300 WOW
Shay is starting to believe in herrself YEAH

Hope they don't have a bad week three now.

Awesome but lets not get cocky, hubris people

No elimination. So does anyone know when the season ends? How many weeks?

Next week looks BANANAS.. ( LOL )

Have a great week everyone.. See you next week.

Next week looks rough. Why would anyone not want the trainers.

Great show!! Goodnight my Tuesday-night friends, see you next week...

Like in The Breakfast Club. A must-see movie. There are only 2 adults in the cast, the a-hole teacher and the wise janitor who sees all and knows all.


She was not able to do conventional workouts, but she did say she walked and swam.


I am glad they did!!!


Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Actually, if you go back and look at the first few episodes of Season 6, as well as Vicky and Brady's pre-premiere interviews, she invoked a lot of sympathy. People didn't start disliking her til around episode 5.

No trainers!?! That's worse than bananas--that's just plain stupid!

Thats Seans way of cussing.."bananas!" lol!

Well, that was a nice ending, Im very happy for everyone.
See you next week.
Dona

lol i've seen that movie, 80's move are the best

Great show tonight!!! Loved it. No one went home! Yay!

I'm sorry, I missed the end. How much did Julio lose? Did someone say that there will be no trainers for a whole week???

yeah no trainers on the third week sounds near to shooting yourself in the foot, and I don't know about them but man I would so not want to **** off Jillian or Bob and both of them at once, RUN FOR COVER

good night everyone, see you next week

Remember last season when they had no weight room for a week and the teams who won the gym prettied it up and hardly lost any weight while the outside teams lost alot of weight doing alternative exercises. To think that the players can do it so early in the season by themselves is silly. I can't believe that they would all have voted that way (to be trainerless).

This was an inspiring episode though.
LATER

Thanks for the show recaps! my tivo cut off half way thru the show

How much did Shay lose??

and did they ever say exactly WHY she was in the hospital so long?? heat stroke? what?

what was there final wt loss number combined?? Did they reach 150??

Thanks in advance!

First of all Shay is starting to get on my last nerves. She kinda of reminds me of a certain two unmentionables from season 6.

Danny from the Brown team. He acts like he has been away from his family for years instead of two weeks?

Go Tracey and Coach Mo. They are my favorite team.

Great episode! Lots of good teamwork. No real bickering. Two thumbs up from me. Read my entire episode wrap-up, including what I thought was the funniest part of tonight's show here:

The Biggest Loser: Teamwork Tuesday

That's exactly how I feel. I'm loving it!! I think they've really taken the show in a positive direction this season, and I hope it never ends.

I don't want to hear or see anything negative about these people yet. I want the "hearts and flowers" feeling to last at least a few episodes. And for my money Shay isn't anything like the nameless one so far. I can see maybe comparing her to Season 5's Maggie, but definitely not Witchie Poo. She may be a kvetcher, but evil and conniving? Come on!

And who doesn't just love Coach Mo?

I dont like her. She is the first I dont like. how can she want one of them to fail... ???

Hearts & flowers? Really. Its the inability to socialize in groups, despite our kindergarten training & parents best efforts, that makes this show so fun. Shay is alright, it is Tracey I'm waiting to see bagged. All her crying and her intelligence shining so bright after her comment "(crying) Who looses 10 pounds in a week?) Well Tracey let me remind you are at Fat Camp, the advanced class, and they all loose 10 pounds in week. And yes, love Coach Mo & Dan!

Remember that Tracy wasn't on the ranch for the first week - she was a fan of the show, but obviously her 10 pound loss shocked even her. I was glad for her, myself after what she'd gone through.

I loved this episode - even my daughter decided she really liked the show - and she was iffy to watch it after last week LOL, but was willing to give it one more shot. I think she's hooked now

I didn't record this week's episode, but boy I wish I did. It was really overall good.

Question though:

What are you guys talking about - no trainers for week 3??

Here in Canada we don't get previews to next week (which is totally silly!)

I really like Coach Mo but I wonder if his mentoring will start to irriate the group? I am one that likes to see everybody get along, so hopefully that won't be the case.

It's great to see Daniel be a leader. You can see his confidence shining through, he's is such a different boy than we saw last season. It's just awesome.

Who here has ever been in the hospital on an IV? I have, and almost everyone who I have talked to who has been in the hospital on an IV loses weight. They give you enough calories in the IV for a normal healthy diet, which is dramatically less than the calorie intake that the other contestants were on. Low on sodium, so Tracy probably shed some water weight too. Not trying to detract from her accomplishment, just trying to point out the reasons why she may have still lost weight.


Ali said something about them getting a choice of going with out trainers in order to have complete control of the weigh in (what ever that means). My impression from the previews was that it was not the whole team that went with out trainers, but jest a few. Although it was really unclear.

I understand now what Breathin Fire meant. I guess I haven't seen the movie in a while and didn't understand at first what BF meant. I get it now and I'm all calmed down - Ha!

First of all, I told myself that I was not going to read the message boards this season because one of the contestants is someone I've known since childhood and quite frankly, some people on here can be really mean. But I couldn't help myself. Yes, Danny from the brown team is a sensitive man, but he is an devoted husband, father and son. When my husband is away oversees - even for a short time and I can't just pick up the phone and call him and tell him about my fabulous day, or horrible day, it makes the distance hard. So, before you start judging someone's emotions about their family, look at the situation from a different perspective.

Second, I love how Daniel is so encouraging and being such a leader. I loved how he was more excited about Shay's progress than his own. What a great kid/young man.

I was also impressed by Rudy (I think that was who it was) who took the limelight off his double digit number and said "look at this girl and what she did" (or something like that).

This season's contestants really seem to be focused on each other's success and I don't know that any true game playing has started. So far, I do have a few favorites (not just my friend) but there isn't anyone I don't like yet.

Oh and I forgot to add...remember that Julio mentioned that he is an independent person and maybe he is working out when the gym is empty. I'm not a group exerciser and prefer to be on my own or with just a few people. So maybe they aren't showing how much he is working out.

I really enjoyed the show last night although the product plug for the ziplock bags was really really bad! Who would use huge gallon sized bags for single portions of food items. They were trying to highlight their standup qualities.. (literally).. I could have seen them using other food items to demonstrate their helpfulness better. Those bags as carted off to the fridge would take up alot of room and also had alot of air in them sure to dry out the food. I think it was just a poor example for a good product... I love zip lock bags for leftovers, cleaned ready to go romaine, for marinading and or freezing. You can't heat and serve in those bags.. the food items they made would have been better wrapped in plastic wrap than in a large air filled ziplock bag.

My eyes were rolling at that product plug.

Hi, Everyone

I truly enjoyed the show last night. Was not as much offensive language as last week. Hope the producers got the messages.

That said, I loved how they all cooperated and made & surpassed their original goal of 150#'s.

Their phone calls home were touching, but hadn't they only been gone two weeks? Some of the contestants made it seem like two years!

We probably need to be a little more understanding of Shay. She must have had a very rough childhood with an addicted mother and being homeless also. We'll just have to see how all this plays out.

Till next week.

I have to say that last night's episode was one of the best in many a season. I like the blend of nutritional information, character information, challenges, training, and the parts with just the trainers. It was a balance that seems to have been missing in the past couple of sessions.

I really like that everyone worked as a team, and especially liked that no one had to go home. I think they need more challenges like that where GREAT weight loss results are the fall out instead of the normal backstabbing and scheming to send someone home.

I like too many of the contestants to pick an overall favorite. But no matter what I hope they all continue to do well!!

I really enjoyed last night's episode. I like that they are giving a lot more information this season and not just spending half the show on the weigh-ins. And I love that Curtis Stone was there..... yummy!!!

After all of the complaints that stemmed from last week's show, it was good to see an overall change in atmosphere this week. I had a feeling that the trainers would start to lighten up a little after initially breaking the contestants down, and it appears that has started to happen. I think we'll start to see a lot more positive reinforcement, and we'll also start to see the contestants feel a lot better about themselves.

Now, hopefully, those that were up in arms last week can relax and enjoy the show once again.

Donna, they might have eaten less than the recommended 1200 calories per day. Sometimes the body will hold onto the weight if not enough calories are consumed.

A more accurate way to put it is that the body will scale back on certain unconscious metabolic processes when it starts receiving less calories than it would otherwise need. Slightly lower body temperature, less muscle building, slower heart rate, etc.

Sorry, but I hate the use of terms like "starvation mode" or "hold onto weight" because they can mislead and many people do believe that if you eat next to nothing and work out all day that your body can some how violate the laws of physics and use energy with out using energy. If you eat nothing, work out all day, and remain alive, you will lose weight no matter what. However, the weight you lose (muscle mass goes fast under these conditions) might not be the weight you want to lose (fat).

I agree, horrible use of product placement, and I can't believe Ziploc signed off on this. Did I hear Jillian say it takes them 90 min to prepare a meal? I thought that was unreal, then I realized these contestants aren't use to preparing real food. I always get a chuckle out of watching them prep food, they hold a knife as if it is so foreign to them. Remember Vicky? I would like to see more of the food education, pairing of certrain foods, how often they eat, and what they eat. Surely they aren't living on Subway. And why are they eating those baked chips (as good as they are), don't you think the processed food should be eliminated. I bet Jillian hurls every time they eat those chips!

I think the pink team may regret their partner choice in the near future. Neither seems, at this point, able to get a big number. They remind me of the purple team from last season.

Ryan, I wanted to say it the way you said it here but I couldn't find your previous post to refer to. I understand what you're saying.

Also, "being on their period" might not be a good excuse either. Tara was able to lose a good amount (except when she allegedly "waterloaded") each week.

BTW, where is Julio's thread?

It seems like 2 people don't have threads - I just counted the number of individual player threads, and there's only 14. I don't know all of the players, so I don't know who else is missing.

I've had to miss the first hour of the show due to work, but I haul butt to get home and watch what I can! So far, I've really enjoyed it. I so hated to miss Curtis Stone though - did he share recipes or anything like that? Can I find them here on the site?

I'm really loving Abby! I admire her guts and determination, and hope that she goes far. As for Shay, I'm really pulling for her, and I'm glad I missed the part where she was talking about Julio. Ignorance is bliss in my case! I want to have positive thoughts of everyone.

They have posts, but they are just over 30 days old and the default setting for the forum for all users appears to be that you don't see posts with out activity in 30 days. I'll bump them both.

Thanks Ryan.

Hello everyone,

I could not watch the show last night I even have the DVR set to record every episode and then verizon decided to install FIOS in my neighborhood, open up holes and knock off the Cable line, we were totally in dark ages yesterday. No home phone, No Internet and not even internet to check thru the boards, The cable company said they would fix it sometime today, I hope when I get home everything got fix, but missed the episode completely. Thank you to your comments on this board I kind of gather what happened and I am waiting for NBC to put the episode online to see if I can watch it then.

I am glad that the contestants met the goal and nobody went home, I agree that they should have made this episode the first week and nobody should have gone home, but well we not alwasy get what we like. hope tobe around soon.

Ooops, sorry..

Yes, I was surprised to see them wasting those zip locks too. Maybe if they had wrapped the wraps and then filled one bag it would have been better.
They push the Brita bottles to be 'green', then do that..hmmm.
Im pretty sure they wouldnt condone washing and re using them.

So, Im thinking that Amanda reminds me of Leann Rimes and Julio reminds me of one of the Baldwins. Coach Mo also reminds me of someone but I cant place it yet. I know his voice is very soothing to me.

I wonder what in the world is going on next week..the trainers look PIZZED off!

Did you notice some folks with ice packs on their knees while Jillian was talking to them about eating? I bet there is a lot of icing at night! I would have ice packs on every inch of my body with a tiny hole for my nose to poke out. Even my lips would need it from grimmacing!

Morgan Freedman? He has the same sort of wise soothing voice thing going.

Please make sure that your settings on the forum's main page is set to "SHOW ALL"....I sniped a pic to help you out...








I love it when our members help each other,
thanks Ryan.

Loved last night's episode!!!!! It was wonderful that they worked together as a team so that no one went home. So far this is reminding me of last season when everyone had each other's back (at least in the beginning). It's actually quite refreshing to see men admit how much they love and miss their families. I don't want to see anyone go home, but I know it's inevitable.[color="#696969"][/color]. I'm still loving Daniel 'cause he's coming out of his shell and seems happy for all the weight loss.

Anyone know where I can get the recipe for the pasta that Curtis showed in the teaching segment??? It looked heavenly!!!!!!!!!

Julio reminds me of Al Pacino or the Godfather for some reason!

Oh no, I hope we don't have another Godfather lampoon this season.

Perfect example of the attitude I'm hoping not to see for awhile in the show. Thanks for the assist.

Her name is Shay, and she is really starting to irritate me too, I hope she gets kicked soon. First Episode she quits says she is done. Walks out on her workout. REGARDLESS if she came back or not after that demonstration she has no room to talk about Julio or anyone else and how they handle their work outs. Yes its hard. Julio felt he was responsible for someone leaving and it had to be hard it was the first elimination and to feel the division of the house on it, definitely would change anyones perspective. If it happened to Shay she would have thrown in the towel again and go home. So before she continues to casts stones at anyone else she needs to look at herself. She has no room to talk about anyone proving themselves she needs to quit running her mouth and worry about herself first
