biggest loser - '09

[tonya66 13]

I think she should have kept Sione, if only to play the game. Sione and Filipe would have had her's and Tara's back until the finals, and the 4 of them could have gone all the way.

As Jillian put it, they are all in game mode now. So, as far as the game goes, Sione and Filipe are Tara's biggest threats. I think they believe Tara is their biggest threat too. I think they would have voted Tara off, because its now about the game.

I was proud of Kristin, you go girl. She was thinking smart.

Can you believe how much the ate? Wow, that was a lot of calories. I was thinking about eating that pretzel, and thinking how that would have made a bandster PB. lol.

Its going to be interesting in the end to see who wins. Tara better bring her game on, if she drops below the yellow line, she will be gone!

Ron and Mike, oh they are getting a little vicious.

I think Helen looks good, she would have been just fine going home, they don't see her as a big threat, but let me tell you, I think she is.

I know a bunch of you are arguing about Sione, but you have to admit-- he looks AMAZING in the after video!

Meh.....he really doesn't "do it" for me.:glare:

Now, Tara is a different story altogether. She has been looking GOOD for awhile now.

I was thinking about eating that pretzel, and thinking how that would have made a bandster PB. lol.

I was thinking about that too, especially when they had to drink the sodas, I could just see myself bent over in pain with the carbonation.

Ron and Mike, oh they are getting a little vicious.

They really are, I was really hoping that Ron would have fallen beneath the yellow line. Mike is getting a little too full of himself.

I think Helen looks good, she would have been just fine going home, they don't see her as a big threat, but let me tell you, I think she is.

Helen does look good and I think that she could have done it at home, but I thought also that Sione' could have been okay at home. I teared up a little when he was training his sisters and one began to cry and said "I can do it".

I noticed that. I wonder about something though: eating doesn't equal calories KEPT down. Just ask any bulimic. I know that I would have run from that temptation to the bathroom and removed as much as possible.

I was watching all the players, and Helen actually looks skinny to me. Still has a little pudge on the belly, but she has got some skinny legs. She is rockin.

I am still a big Tara fan....And even Sione kinda grew on me when I seen how much he loved his wife & kids and his family.

Ron - not so much...I thought it was funny they were calling him Hatchet man. I think he tries to be the father figure, but he needs to just worry about himself and quit controlling everyone. IMO.

Mike, well he is just protective of his dad, as any kid would be. I still think he is a cutie and is going to look great when its all over. I can't believe how much he has changed. I just think he needs to not depend on his dad so much, and his dad needs to realize Mike is a big boy and can do this on his own.

if it were me w/the golden ticket & kristen fell below the yellow line - i would have ax'd her......such a suck up.

Yes, thats funny she brought her bfast in bed. I didn't hear Lori (sp) complain about it.....she loved it! She even told her to "adjust her bed to be a little softer" ofcourse, Kristen offered to do it, Lori jumped right on that one. She liked all that power, even though she complained in the end about having it, I know she really liked it. Tara loved it too. Tara knew she was safe with her partner having that golden ticket. It would have been bad though if she would have fallen below the yellow line. She did good this week with her weightloss.

It made me think about Kristen too, she might be the contestant knowone is too worried about and then win the entire thing. She really wants that 250K. She is going to do anything to win it too. She has already broke the record on BL. Who knows what else she is capable of. The other contestants better watch out for her, 'cause I think she in it to win.

Tara, well, I would be happy with 3 pounds, but on the show, 3 lbs is not that great. I'm still wondering if she tried to throw it as well.

I also am wondering if Tara persuaded her to vote off Sione, and the show just didn't show it. I'm sure there is a lot we don't see behind close doors. Tara knows that Sione is her biggest competition with the challenges. But she usually ends up beating him, its always pretty close.

And Ron was right about one thing, he is the contestant that just won't go home! He has been below the yellow line 6 times and still hanging on. I guess because everyone knows he is not a threat. He just rubs me the wrong way. Not sure why but he just does. I guess I don't like all his commands on who it is to go home. I don't like the fact he likes to control everything. Gets on my nerves. I also don't think he tries too hard in the competition. He always just goes so slow, and always saying this or that is the problem. Get over it already. If you have bad knees why the heck did you even come? You know there is a lot of competition on the BL from past seasons. You know he knew that, so why did he even join if he wasn't going to try very hard. And he just has the attitude like "oh well, i can't do it so why try". He could have let his two sons go on the show together and he stayed home, not sure why they didn't do it that way.

yeah - she did enjoy it, i would have been turned off......but she did do the right thing in sending sione home.

he did look very handsome!!!

Actually, there are a lot of studies out there that show that throwing up your food only takes away the actual quantity plus some of your own bodily Fluid, but your body absorbs the salt, fat, sugar, etc. almost immediately and you can't throw that back up. This is why bulimics never really look as gaunt as anorexics do... just their teeth and hair fall out.

Anyways-- off topic! Back to talking about how hot some of the boys (and girls too...) are looking!

I'm so mad, I missed the first half of BL last night! I'm going to download it tonight though and watch it again.

Ron really really really needs to go home. I wanted to just punch his smug little face last night. I'm starting to dislike Mike a little too...his dad is rubbing off on him. Last night he said "We got what we wanted, Helen and Sione below the yellow line." Since when did Mike ever talk about gameplay other than just keeping himself and his dad in the game? One of the reasons I liked him (2nd to Tara) is because he ONLY cared about keeping himself and his dad there, he never really cared about who else got sent home.

agreed.

liked him for the same reasons - was thoughtful in giving the free groceries to aubrie, he seemed just into losing weight & i still think he does; but dad is a huge influence.....and not sure such a hot one these days. my opinion of both has changed.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I think Ron is just going to go back to his old eating habits as soon as he goes home. I can't see him sticking with exercise.

It was sad to see some of the past contestants on Oprah who have gained a lot of it back.

[A lot less 1]

I've noticed that Ron does a lot of whining about not being able to do a lot of the challenges or exercise, but he is still pulling a fair amount of numbers in weight loss. He beat Mikes this week. I don't think he ate a lot either during the challenge, he did win $1500.00 though.

I thought the part about the Breakfast in bed was funny. Kristen, I guess said let me fatten Laura up while I suck up. I think Kristen knew that she'd be safe cause she didn't eat anything to my knowledge.

[Saundra 0]

I thought Kristan ate once and then realized she would only have to worry if she fell below the line and the ones eating seemed more likely to fall to her.....
