I figured since we have a 'So You Think You Can Dance' & A 'Neighbours' thread, I would start one for The Biggest Loser as I am addicted to this show and I'm sure at least a few of you lovely beauties are too :) I am loving the new series with the couples, so far the show has been very entertaining with a few twists already and there have even been a couple of tear-jerking moments. The last 3 seasons have all been won by men so this time I'm really hoping a woman takes the title out - I've got my money on Amanda as she's the biggest woman in the house (170kg) and seems to have the most motivation and stamina, she's amazing!!! The show has had a lot of controversy surrounding it though, more so this year than ever before. The host of the show, Ajay Rochester, has been in trouble with the law over accusations of fraud with Centrelink, luckily she is still hosting the show though and has embarked on her own weight loss journey. Another controversial issue (which stands out to me) is the fact that The Biggest Loser now has it's own meal replacement diet club with products like shakes, soups and meal replacement bars. While I am on a "meal replacement" weight loss plan myself and am seeing brilliant results on the scales every week, I am a little shocked that The Biggest Loser has jumped on this bandwagon as according to the trainers, healthy eating and exercise is the best way to go for shedding kilos....obviously the contestants are not following a meal replacement diet so to me it's a tad strange that the show itself is being sponsored by the show's own range of diet products that the trainers clearly do not endorse for the people they are training. All controversy aside though, the show is just getting better and better each year in my opinion and I can't wait to see who wins :)

Perfect Glow
This gradual smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling silly smooth and hydrated. It absorbs into the skin really well and gives me a really natural looking tan.
Okay but not outstanding
I received this as part of the Oct discovery bag (thanks BH!) and was keen to try out this Australian cruelty-free brand.
These clusters are so yummy
I received this product as part of a trial team. This is my first trial so its ironic that it would be food.

I'm finding this year's show to be best yet, Whaee. I love how they've got a couples show, and I'm sure there'll be plenty more twists. It's funny cos normally I don't really get into Biggest Loser until about 1/2 way through a series, but this year it's got me hooked from the start.
I agree, i think that having couples is a great idea because they get to be with someone they love so they dont have to go though it alone. This may also ease any home sickness.
I loved watching the show last year but I have not seen much of it this year. I only watch the sunday show because it has to be on at the same time as home and away, lol, yes I know shoot me but it is one of those addictive programs that I have just been watching for years, lol, can't stand it half the time but still gotta watch it just to chuck off at them, lol, I am cracked don't worry about me guys, lol. Anyway back to the biggest looser it is one of the few reality shows that I reccon is really good I just love seeing how much weight they all lose each week which is the good thing about the sunday show. Well tomorrow night I will start to get back into it and ususally end up flicking over to watch some of it when the commercials are on the other channel, lol.
i love the biggest loser (:
I flick onto this show every so often! I liked the American trainers more than these guys (sorry folks...I really liked Bob?? Was that his name??) and the army guy just makes me laugh!! I saw a pic of Ajay Rochester the other day, and she actually has really short ( and I mean short) hair...all that hair she has at the moment are extensions!!
I love the biggets loser!! I love the couples idea and I'm sure it's good for some of the contestants in the house to have support from their loved ones! I actually like the trainers..and the commando hehe. I am hoping for a girl to win and i'm pretty sure the brothers will be voted out as soon as a chance comes as everyone seems to not like them.
I like the biggest loser, although haven't seen much of this season! I too liked the American trainers a little better, you are right GB, it is Bob (Bob Harper!)
Sorry girls, but I have to say that I am SO over all these reality shows....and that includes the biggest looser, you think you can dance, singing bee etc etc....Big Brother has thank godness finished and wont come back.....all the other reality shows should in my opinion go the same way! How about showing some decent movies again...
Yes, I agree PFiona!! Thank goodness...No more Big Brother!!! Eugh!!
Thanks PrettyPrincess...It was Bob, was it?? Oh I loved him!!! What a sweetie!! xo
It was good tonight, I would like to see the sisters with the bracelet eliminated, I saw one of them having a bit of a hissy fit last week so they are my least favourites.
I hate hissy fits, Mel!!! Although it makes good television!! Yeah, those 2 have to go. xo
It is those moments that keeps us watching it, lol. Yes scrap them, he he.
Love the show - my kids (8 & 10) sit down to watch it too. We love the brothers and think they are cheeky and are playing the "game" bit well. Yep, i love Amanda (the biggest ever female), she (as do they all) has some personal issues and even if she doesnt win overall, she WILL walk away a winner - shes gutsy. My husband likes the mother & daughter - the daughter is just so pretty.
Yes Amanda is fantastic I can't wait to see what she pulls off at the end of the program. xxx
Although the brothers annoy me (they just always seem so cocky and up themselves)...they are playing the game better than any of the other contestants at the moment and even though it is pretty much isolating them from the rest of the couples, it's also ensured that they stay in the game longer. Golden I agree about Bob Harper - he is a fantastic trainer, would love to have an hour with him in the gym hahahaha!
I love dat show its reaali inspirational how dese overweight people take on the journey for a healtheir lifestyle all the challenges they hav to go threw wif its very emotional im happy Whaee posted this thread for the latest update the 2 brothers hav the immunity bracelets one wif $$ de otha wif nothing its a big twist that changes de whole game
I think the couples idea is great because they really must go through a whole lifestyle change, so to do that with the person you're with the most will probably make it easier to achieve as you have your partner there knowing exactly what you're going through because they're going through it too. I love watching this show, it makes me motivated to eat healthier and want to go and do some exercise, which I need to do more of both those things!!!
Melmeko ~ hearing you on the sisters ! Whaee ~ hearing you about the brothers !
i soooooo love loser, i want to be on loser !! Unfortunately i only have around 7ish kilos to lose and my girlfriends threatened to b*tch slap and de-friend me if i even thought about it.....
aaaaah but i love a makeover !! :)
Ohhh the girls are still in and the newlyweds are out, just means I have to put up with them for another week, lol.
I always love thsi show, but haven't managed to watch it at all this season. Every time I turn on the tele it's finished, I'm going to have to set an alarm so I don't miss it.
Abby - LOL Only 7kg sweetie?!?! If you went on that show there would be nothing left of you by the end of the first week me thinks! I only have 10kg to go before I'm at my goal....would be nice if we could spend a few days up there with the couples wouldn't it :-D I was a little disappointed that the newlyweds were the first couple to go, I really liked them as they didn't complain or whinge about anything, in fact they were one of the more positive couples. Oh well, I'm sure they'll have great success on the outside :)
You haven't got much to go Whaee ~ hang in there :) I am liking the mother and daughter so far, i love that it's on every night !!
Thanks so much Abby :) I'm currently on a break from this diet...until Tuesday I am on holiday so I'm gonna eat whatever I want.....bread, rice, pasta....carbs....here I come hahaha. You're going so well gorgeous so keep it up, 7kg will not take long to lose at all babe and you're doing so well and you're an inspiration to lil' old me :) xoxo Last nights episode was pretty intense I thought - I felt bad for the dark blue couple (mother and daughter) who came last in the race to Sydney, the mother was so sick as a result of pushing herself so hard and unfortunately they received a weight-gain penalty at the next weigh in, hope they don't find themselves out of the game as a result :( Usually when I watch this show I don't become annoyed with any of the contestants until half way through the series but I'm already finding the brothers and the pink team (the girlfriends) to be irritating. The brothers just seem so up themselves and the pink girls are just.....ugh lol.
I know ~ the pink girls are driving me up the wall !!
won't hurt to have a few days off the diet.....nothing worse than being on hols and having to constantly watch what you eat....hope you had a great time darl :) xx
Awww...I really like Amanda who had to go to hospital for blood clots! She seems like such a sweetie! xo
