Curtis Stone returns to the ranch to teach the players about healthy cooking, and to give them a pop quiz! Then the players get a chance to keep everyone safe from elimination.

TBL rating is TV-PG-L

TVPGL.
Parental guidance is suggested.
The program contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. It may have an inappropriate theme, and it may contain moderate violence (V), some sexual content (S), and strong language (L) or suggestive dialogue between characters (D).

I notice that we are prominently displaying the rating... mayhaps we are getting a wee bit tired of people coming here to rant about this "family" show and bad language.

I just wanted to give a fair warning just in case someone misses the rating for whatever reason.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion here, but I believe the cursing topic has been discussed to the
point of ad nauseam this, of course, is my opinion.

I hope they meet their goal and lose the weight they need to lose. Week two is always challenging.

I'm glad to see some attention given on the show to the "calories in" side of the equation.

As much attention as is given to the work outs, it is the food which is the real determiner in weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight. Calories-in is the one side of the equation that you truly completely control. Calories-out you can only augment with exercise, but there is so much more that goes into it that you have no control over.

There are certain drinks that you can order at Starbucks that amount to 66% of your daily calories (1200 Calories). No amount of exercise can make up for bad food choices.

I'd really like to see the dietician explain caloric inputs required for normal daily function of an adult as opposed to calorie loss or burned during workouts.

As far as language, my ten year old watches the show with us and understands that people make poor word choices just as they make poor food choices for emotional reasons. Monkey see does not mean monkey do unless monkey choose to do as monkey saw done.

I too hope they spend some time talking specifically about nutrition. However, if they follow the example of previous seasons, then they will probably spend around 10 minutes talking about how great it is to eat healthy and then rush into the next challenge or temptation. Unfortunately, that's what happens when you are dealing with an entertainment show rather than a documentary.

Can I request that if anyone comes on and complains about the language again tonight that it get moved to the offensive language thread? I'm not saying I agree or disagree with them, but I just want to move on and enjoy and discuss the SHOW tonight.

Yes.....MaggiePie we can relocate those posts....but please be patient, it may take a bit, but we will get them moved for ya !!

Yay! We might all talk about the episode this time! Well at least I can hope

I sure hope so........enough is enough!

Oh I can't wait to see Stone....he's a hottie.

Be sure to check our thread "Biggest Loser Recipes" in the Diet and Nutrition sub-forum, we try to post all of the recipes on the show there.

I cant wait! Only 15 minutes til showtime..I wish my computer and tv were in the same room.
I caught an old episode on cable today that I never saw before, Caroline was the host and it was a special edition family vs family show. It was sooo different!
The stage for the scale was piled with junk food that they had to walk past and they wore baggy shorts and tank tops to weigh in, after the first sport bra/ baggy shorts weigh in.
It was pretty lovey dovey with the trainers too, but maybe because there were two teen-age girls there.
Nobody got voted off and they did most of the work at home.
Some excelled, some didnt do so well.
Very interesting!

Anyway....here we go, good luck everyone!

Hey DonaDoo,
I had my computer in the same room last week and felt liked I missed the whole episode trying to keep up here

Thank you! Not only does it take away from the real purpose of the show, but it feels as though there is a dark cloud hanging overhead. There are ways to be proactive and approach the network and producers instead of continually whining and making the other community posters who came here to root for the team feel uncomfortable.

Good evening all. Looking forward to seeing this weeks episode..

I love da coach!!

You rock! I say go for it!

Woo Hoo! It will be done!

Liking Coach more and more, no BS lets get is done.
Now will it happen ?

WOW you sure can tell that Mo is a coach! He made me
smile as he worked to make them into a team. I hope he
can keep them all together for this week which is usually
a horrible weight loss week. Go Mo Go!

aww Fairfaux I'm sorry you felt uncomfortable but I think we have it pretty much contained now.

Will they make the 150? Thoughts.

VINDICATION!

Jillian: The universal truth to weight loss is this. Calories in vs. Calories out.

Good, they're really showing the back ground to what goes on during the first few weeks.

Ooh! They are really showing how harsh they have to be! Ouch!

I like Coach Mo. He just showed that he has wisdom and maturity.

I know, I know, I have heard you saying that over and over....it's the darn truth!!

Ryan, I'm totally digging your profile pic. It's perfection!

I think they will unless Jillian states out loud to them the fact that she
thinks they should pick the two to go home before it even starts cuz she
has no faith in them to lose the 150 lbs.

Did you vote Katie?

thats 10 lbs each, average, right?

Oh I love Coach Mo now!
ohhhhits back on................

yeah, but for how many seasons now have people tried to argue that it is more complicated than that? People have argued that the human body can violate the laws of physics.


Thank you... it represents my mission in life.

I did.

"You're spinning yourself out of control!" Love it!

I was lucky I guess my doctor told me in the beginning that in his words "low carb, low fat , atkins it is all the same. It comes down to calories in versus calories out. Nothing else is as important"

18 minutes in and the first product ad They are getting faster
with them!

Product placement!

OK, obvious product placement, but not so bad. It actually was useful info.

I voted that they do lose the weight...and I am sticking with it.

Jillian kind of contradicted herself. In the gym she said don't starve yourself, but when talking to her group she did calories in = calories out. That isn't completely true, and that is why second week's are always so low. The body gets shocked and goes into starvation mode unless a certain amount of calories gets consumed. In starvation mode the body will do whatever is necessary to keep its perceived energy needs, even if it means slowing down its metabolism. So the contestants need to keep up their calories intake to limit the starvation mode of the body
Fortunately Bob empasizes the 1200 calorie intake need.

in + generation = out + accumulation / simple energy balance (at least my chem eng hubby says so )

Did I hear Bob say they were to burn 6000 cals? HOLY MOLEY..

There's product placement number one! I wish I could afford the calories for a "product placement" drinking game on BL.

Tracey! Nice of Mo to take her the purple shirt.

Aw, I like Coach.

good evening everyone! i think Coach Mo's really nice guy, he remind me someone i used to work with except he's bigger

I adore the coach.. I hope he goes all the way to the end. He is an inspiration to all.

We do have one here! Drink your water during product placements!

I just LOVE Coach MO!!!!!!!!

Evening Breathinfire.
