Do you like the Black Team on "The Biggest Loser" this year? Talk about it!

I'm rooting for the black team because I always go for the underdog, and Jillian just rocks!!

Hi Lisa,
Didn't you just love the show last night~~Jillian was Glowing to see the Red & Blue contestants eyeballing her Team.
Do you have a Fave member yet on the B. Team~~I'm kind rooting for the Twins to lose the most~~

Su

I'm not sure. I just think that it kicks butt that they were not picked for the 1st 2 teams then after 2 weeks in the desert with Jillian they won a weigh in. It'll be interesting to see what happens now that they are with everyone else. I do think Jillian is the toughest out of the 3 "coaches".

I expected them to lose alot of weight~~Come on, they worked out in the Desert at near 100 degrees, so you know they were sweating alot.
I know I would have been~

Jillian is pretty awesome and don't ya know she's itching to prove she's the BEST! And I think she is!

I agree on that point and she did prove that you don't need to join a Gym to workout~~she had them rolling Tractor tires, pulling 35 lb. bags of sand & lifting Logs~~She knows what she's doing. Understand that she's been a Trainer for 17 yrs.

I am rooting for the Black team . . . . . because they were the ones the two captains didn't pick and because I'd like to see Jillian's team kick @$$! (Did I say that out loud?)

Yup, Loud & Clear !! I Agree Big Time~~I felt a little disappointed last year when Jillian wasn't there so I'm really glad she's back.
Any fave member yet Robin?

Su,

Well, overall, my favorite member right now is from the Blue team . . Kae. I think she is a fighter and I like that she is ex-military. I was in the Navy for 4 years and altho I never had weight problems at the time (other than thinking I was fat when I weighed 115 ) I had friends that did.

My favorite on the black team is Jillian! But as far as the contestants I think Bill & Jim . . . . . but I reserve the right to change my mind!

Robin

Okay !!!! Too Weird Here~~I Love Kae too, she seems very down to earth & could be your next door neighbor. I even talked about her in my Journal, the part about seeing their Starting date on Her paper for the Time Capsule (it was 5/6).
I'm sorry to say this But I was surprised the Red Team didn't vote Amy off~~I mean come on, she walked away from their Workout & Might need a slice of Cheese to go with all that Whine, she's serving !

I agree that Amy should have been voted off. She does not seem to have what it takes to be away from her kids. If red loses weigh in again I think she'll be voted off. I really can't believe NO ONE voted for her. Lezlye was working her butt off and deserved to be there longer. I also really like Kae.

I'm routing for the Black Team!!! I think it will be fun to watch the twin's progress, and I am thrilled to see Jillian back! She rocks!

I also think that hands down, Amy should have gone home this week. They are suppose to be working as a team and she walked out. Its obvious she doesn't have their backs. You have to know you can count on your team mates and I'm not seeing that in her.

Love Kae. She has staying power. I look forward to seeing how she does.

Its great to talk with other people that are into the show.

I am so torn. I love the black team, but I also love the blue team. Jerry & Kae are my favorite people. But I love underdogs and Jillian. I think I am more of a disliker of the red team. I can't believe they didn't kick Amy off, she quit. Amber never quit, just SAID she wanted too. Oh well, I also love both Bob & Jillian. I really don't know how I feel about Kim. She has some serious quitters on her team and it might just be editing.

I, too, would have sent Amy home. What WERE they thinking???? Then again, we don't know what we missed due to editing, etc.

I, too am rooting for the Twins, they have alot to lose but seem very motivated to do so~~and beside's~~even though they are overweight~~
They are Very EASY on the Eyes~~they will be Soooooooo Much More Handsome (like Erik last year) when they get around 200 lbs.
Looking forward to seeing that !

I'm so glad this forum is here! I love that show, I don't think I've ever missed an episode thanks to TiVo! I love Jilian, and really missed her last season, so I'll have to go with the Black team, but I really like Kae from the Blue team too. I felt sooooo bad for Julie on the black team. She's the one who's only lost 5 lbs in the first 2 weeks, and the way it's edited it's hard to tell, but it seems like she has been working her butt off, and they haven't said or shown that she has had any problems eating on their plan. She has PCOS and I just wanted to scream at the TV "it's because you don't have her on a LC diet, and with PCOS she NEEDS that!!!!!!!" I've struggled with PCOS and I've been on the so-called-healthy low cal, "healthy carb" (steel cut oatmeal, fruit, sweet potato, whole grain, you know what I'm talking about) diet, and have worked out dilligently (not 4+ hours per day of course!) and didn't lose ANYTHING!!!!! It's maddening. I just wanted to cry for her, because it's terrible to work so hard and get those kind of results. I hope they figure it out and tweak something for her diet, or she'll probably end up being the first to go on the black team.

You're right Kelly,
Julie needs a better meal plan~~Yet, the Trainers said they would be following a good~ Carb~Protein & Fat Diet.
I noticed that Kim got very mad at Jez for not eating more protein & fat, and her recipe for Turkey Taco's looks good. I went on nbc.com & it's posted. So, I think it's up to each contestant to make up their own meals with what's there for them. She probably hasn't tuned into the right choice's yet. Hopefully she'll catch on because she does work her butt off and tries to keep up with the rest.

I too support the BLACK team! I love a good underdog!!!

I think RED didn't kick off Amy because they want to keep someone around that they can beat in the end. Just my opinion.

Can't pick a fav yet, as I couldn't pay full attention the other night.

Love the topic!

Yup, Glamgirl~~Black seems to be where it's at this Season !

Been trying to think like a Man, (not that hard to use 1/2 your Brain) and I believe the Red Men voted Lezlye off because She was more of a Threat to them. They can always kick Amy off, next time!

I am going black, too--I love Jillian!!!! Love her! Have her book, and aim to have her abs too!

I was mad they voted Lezlye off--after that "I'm your girl stuff" from Amy behind her back. Ick. I hate the game part...if they keep it up, they'll have to restructure the teams soon...

Okay, I am new to this site, but have to add my nickels worth (I talk too much for it to be 2 cents!) I love that black team because they were the outcasts and that has motivated them to work harder and be more determined than the red or blue teams. They weren't picked and thought they were going home, but along comes Jillian on her motorcycle and they are back in the game. They rock and they are a true team........uplifting each other and motivating one and other to do the best and more that they can. The red and blue teams are okay, but with their HTT thinking, they might just be the eliminated ones!

As I said.........my nickel's worth!

Carolia

Welcome Carolia & Kimpossible~~
You can add a Dimes worth if you want to. Soon enough the Red Team will be just 3 men~how can they do challenges?~~so the Re-grouping or Coupling should start within 2 weeks I'd say.
The way Amy backstabbed Lezlye, by letting her think she was on her side then going to David and saying Lezlye was more of a threat to them than she was~~~Was WRONG ! But, even though they're in Teams~~ they're all out for themselves, as there can be only ONE Biggest Loser ! I do believe this will be THE Best Season of them All !

Amy's backstabbing was bad but at least no one has yet reached the Kai and Heather level of ugliness.

It's still too early for me to pick a favorite team or person.

As a former Kimkins member, I'd like to suggest that Heidi try out for the next season to learn proper nutrition and exercise practices. Then, with her winnings, she can give us all a refund!!!

JK!!!

I was thinking the other night too about how they really are all in it for themselves ultimately. It's good strategy to keep someone in the game that you think you can beat.

I love Jillian, too. Tell us more about why you love the book...

OMG, Julie didn't you just want to Slap Heather every week and Kai~that remark she made to Wiley, was totally uncalled for. I was shocked that they didn't bleep her.
Each and every week I would go into their web page and vote that Heather should be sent home~~that's how much she got on my nerves!
Glamgirl, first~do you have a shorter name we can call you & second~ what Book ?

Su- I never hated anyone more than those two. I think they thought they were on Mean Girls or something. Ugh! So it's good I don't hate anyone yet.

Sweetie, with your precious looking face I can't imagine you hating Anybody !
I'll check back with you on that hating part in about 2 weeks tho, because by then I do believe the Claws will come out. I'm almost sure I'll have a Hit List by then~~LMBO

Glam Girl - you are tooo funny! ROFLMAO at the idea of Heidi on BL!

DITTO~~I think she'd be the first one to TRY to tell the Trainer's How to Feed the Contestants since her plan has worked so well for HER ! loLOUD

Jillian is the bomb! When I grow up I wanna be just like her! I am rooting for the black team. I believe they have the right person to train them.

~~WITHOUT A DOUBT~~
YOU KNOW OF WHAT YOU SPEAK YOUNG LADY !

I too prefer the black team....I hate it when everyone else is getting picked and inside you are crying pick me pick me and nobody ever does. I hope the KICK some Butt!!!! Jillian rocks!!

I feel the same way. I used to be that person that was never picked first. I LOVED that they came out on top over the red and blue team. I love Jillian's training method. Kickboxing...now you know I have to like that woman. I am thinking about getting her book and workout video. I wish I could shape my body like hers.

Oh Yeahhhhhhhh, those Beautiful Abs are to die for !
Add her Great Smile, Nice Hair and Bubbly personality and
as you said~~She's Da Bomb !!!!

I'm rooting for the Black Team.

It was a GREAT twist to add for this season!

Regandy,
You look Great~
Congrats on your weightloss and your good taste in Teams~lol

Yup, this Season it appears that: "Black Is Where It's At"
Do you have a favorite member yet or are you holding off for awhile ?

Su

I think it is neat to have twins on the same team. I really hope they get to stay for a long time and both lose a lot.

Me too !!
They're easy on the eyes NOW~~I can't wait to Drool over the Final Product !
Looking forward to the show on Tuesday~~but anyone that can't catch it will surely get all the details right here.
Thanks Jane for sharing your Hottie Hunky hubby with us~lol

You're welcome! We're a package deal.

I'm thrilled Jillian is back. I like Bob and Kim is nice enough (maybe too nice sometimes as her teams lose weigh ins more often). But Jillian is a little toughy and sensitive to her team at the same time and I like that. Go Black!

Hey Iggykatt, I want to grow up to be Jillian too. We'll be twins...

I did feel sorry for Kim during the weigh-ins. Not only did Jillian show up but her team kicked butt. Ouch! Of course, that may be what her team needs to step it up.

I'll predict now that the WINNER of this season will come from Jillian's team. But who? Hmmm...chew on that one a while.

Hey, Jillian is a tough cookie and knows her stuff~butt~
I'm not so sure about a Black Team member being the Biggest Loser.
Don't get me wrong~~
I'm rooting for the Blacks to Kick some Major Booty this Season.

This is the 4th year and it's time for a Female Winner~~and I predict it will be:
KAE on the Blue Team !
She's former Military and has that added Drive in her~~
If the men don't feel Threatened by her~~it could all belong to her this Season!

Butt~~That's Just MY Opinion~

WoooooHoooooo ~~ Go Black Team !

Tomorrow is THE night to watch some Major Booty Kickin` on NBC !

Jillian will stay true to form and work her Team to their last ounce of strength.

However, watching the previews for the show it appears that there's going to be some breakdowns.

They'll have all kinds of Sugar Laden Goodies set before them and I don't think they all resisit the temptation.
Which, to Jillian will be a Betrayal to her and all she's doing.

The Team could be the weigh in winners again tho, simply because they have some hefty contestants and could drop some serious lbs.
IF, Jillian can Undo the damage from the Sugar Attack!

That temptation stuff is just wrong! Can u imagine the rationalizing that occurs? "I'm doing ALL this exercise, one bite (or 12) won't hurt!" Heck I can rationalize now and I only exercise every few days...

I guess I'm harder on them about the temptations. I can never understand why they would eat that stuff when they're trying to win all that money. I guess I think my willpower would be stronger if there was a big prize at stake.

I guess what the shows trying to ask is, "How Much Do You REALLY Want to be Here?"
OR:
The Theory, "You'll Be Tempted Everyday for the Rest of your Life~How will You Handle It away from Here?"

I do think it's too much for alot of them to take in~~
They're away from their Families, Lonely, Tired of working out 4 to 5 hrs. a day and lets face it~~They just had some very low weightloss numbers and as you said Kimpossible, "Just this one bite won't hurt".

Then to make it even worse: They're being Tempted by their Own Favorite COMFORT FOODS.

I can't say that I wouldn't eat it~~

But, as you say Julie~~$250,000.00 ~ is alot of MONEY !

Then to be Humiliated on TV for the World to see Just How Weak You are!

What can I say about the Black Team, except that they are a very United Team and Support one another all the way.

There was one point where one of the Twins, Bill~~had hurt his knee while working out. Jillian had told Isabeau to go get the Twins downstairs for their workout that morning and she only had 3 minutes to do it. Otherwise the training session would be 2 hrs. long.

Bill was favoring his left leg, but decided he couldn't take the pressure of being Rushed Downstairs and Yelled at poor Isabeau, who then burst into tears.
However, I have to give him credit that he Apoloized to her & promised it would never happen again~~We'll see !

The Blacks did come in 2nd Place on the Weigh in, yet still managed to beat the Blue Team!

I especially liked Jillian's Pep talk to her Team right before the Weigh in, she told them how Proud she is of them~~and then, the part that impressed me the most:

She THANKED them for Being Her Team & told them that they are Amazing!
The Lady has Class~~Hmmm, a mixture of Velvet & Steel !
