Biggest Loser 3/10/09 Spoilers

4inziksych · 03-10-2009, 08:07 PM

Great episode so far! Filipe is driving me nuts though.

No crying so far, not one tear!

One thing I"m wondering, sometimes when you starve yourself for a long time, then eat a whole bunch of bad stuff, it actually budges your metabolism and helps you lose weight (if you do it only once). I wonder if it will help them.

IJustLikeTivo · 03-10-2009, 08:25 PM

So, taking my turn at posting first?

I have to say Filipe cries like a little girl! What a candy assl If you're not happy, say something. Don't just sit around like a passive aggressive tool and wait for Jillian to come rescue you. Has it occurred to him that perhaps she sees him as so strong she can afford for let him fend for himself while she helps the ones who can't. Totally lost me tonight, no matter what happens. Sione is still a stud, but Filipe might as well be dead to me.

Looking forward to seeing what happens but damn that man is annoying.

"She didn't"

Didn't what, kiss his ass? They all showed their colors when they left campus. They don't care.

I really want Filipe gone ASAP! What a little baby! First it was 2.5 hours he had to work out alone then when he ran to Bob it was a week alone and he told Jillian off. They never showed him telling Jillian off on camera (the part about not working with her again).

Bob needs to take blame in this too for not making them confront their issues. Babying them will not help them when they get back to the real world.

Filipe's lesson of the night: If you don't like how things are going, throw a fit and quit. That will really help him in the future.

On another note. I have never laughed so hard about a weigh in as I did tonight. From the water loading Tara to multiple gainers this week and all the way to Aubrey cursing about Mandi's weight. They had me convinced that Black would lose and I almost FF through just to get to the vote off.

I hope Mike can keep up his work/weight loss because I would love to see a Mike/Tara final.

ClutchBrake · 03-10-2009, 11:05 PM

This is only my first full season of The Biggest Loser but the blue team is cracking me up. They can't win because they let Ron tell them what to do and keep getting rid of strong players. I hope the black team CRUSHES them. Though I love Kristin.

And then I hope Filipe is the first to go from the black team. That was pathetic.

JLucPicard · 03-11-2009, 12:21 AM

ClutchBrake, I have to agree with you.

When are they going to get past Ron's "I need to be here" weeping crap and start playing the game?!?!?

Ron should have gotten voted out last week. You replace Dane for Ron in tonight's challenge, and blue wins hands down, no doubt. I have to be OK with that, though, because I don't know if blue would have done any better on the 24 hours of leisure thing or not.

So Ron doesn't get voted out last week. What's the first bit of conversation that we hear in the elimination discussion? Right smack off the bat is Ron flapping his trap that Mandi HAS to be the one to go home - it's her turn? Who's the one who can't do a darn thing because his body is so broken down? Arm chair quarterbacking is easy, but I just don't understand him still being there. I was actually hoping he'd have picked up a little something from his kid and fallen on his sword because he's pretty useless. Oh, well, that's just me, I guess.

I knew as soon as Mandi wound up in the last spot at the elimination table that she had voted for Ron so there wouldn't be a tie.

And just because I apparently don't pay attention, when did the tiebreaker become the other team votes and not that the person with the worst weigh in of those tied goes home? Was that just because they weren't doing the yellow line thing? I kept thinking if it's a tie, Mandi goes home anyway. Wrong!

While I like Kristin, what is with not being able to compete in the competitions but being able to work out? She should be gone if you can't compete on the show.

It was weird that she couldn't do either challenge but she was doing the workouts the whole time. I also tend to agree that someone who isn't helping with the challenges needs to be gone. And the part with the old blue team voting as block is just BS and one reason why I see the team swapping as a disastrous change this year. It completely ruined the dynamic.

I also agree that Bob is just enabling Filipe and Sione. Coddling them is wrong. Jill told the team off cause they deserved it.

Then, they had a chance to go to the spa and I'd enjoy that too. But it was at beach where they could have done a workout and should have. And there were healthy choices that could have been made at the lunch/dinner table and water at the Bar. Booze while on a diet is idiotic. Just unforgivable.

I was surprised that Tara had stayed even. She had to have water loaded, but that seems like it's risky to me without immunity. Unless she was much worse at the spa than they showed off camera... but the dinner they showed her ordering, the shrimp cocktail and the halibut was not THAT bad. Then the 2 tequila shots, and I guess they didn't say/show how many drinks she had at the bar. I think she did the "best" out of all of them, though. Filipe was lucky to scrape through with all the crap he ate!

sburnside1 · 03-11-2009, 08:36 AM

If sione and filipe are allowed to "switch teams" , then Aubrey should pull the same stunt. She is gone if Blue loses again anyhow.

I dont know what Filipe was expecting Jillian to do. They pretty much cried for 24 hours after switching sides and pouted in the gym. Right before his explosion, Jillian pretty much explained how she has members of her team that are unapproachable. She is a high intensity trainer. Having people on your teams whos hearts arent in it really makes it hard to work them out. Look at the trouble she had with Laura.

I dont know why Ron is still around. I assume its just that he is petrified of going home since he has failed so many times there. After being on the block so many times early on and pleading to save his team "not for him, but for Mikey"; I couldn't believe he would send home a young mother who they had said earlier didn't have the best support system at home.

Tara really had a bad week. She works so hard, yet made some bad choices this week.

They didnt show Mikey much on the trip. He had the fish at dinner. I didnt notice if he had an appetizer. He didnt drink or smoke. While they were showing how many people were failing, at least they could have highlighted him for at least mostly good choices.

I'm pretty sure he ordered the chicken fontina with the 2 other people. I know that Tara definitely had the Alaskan halibut, and I didn't remember anyone else ordering that.

sburnside1 · 03-11-2009, 09:04 AM

Thats right, he had the chicken. I forgot.

Still a lot better then some of their choices I guess.

Oddly, he ordered the chicken but I could swear the waiter put the cobe sliders down in front of him.

Regardless, they mostly ate crap. Aside from the fish ( and we have no idea what the sides were ) most of what they decided to eat had to be bad. And the decision to go drinking afterwards was silly. Also,most moderns destination spas like that have a gym.... Or the beach was pretty handy. I find it odd that after working out nearly every day for 9 weeks, none of them chose to work out. I really get out of sync when I don't exercise. I'm a recent convert to the whole diet/exercise regime but as aware as they are, it's hard to imagine that all 6 made such obviously bad choices.

WHAAA WHAAA WHAAA. The cousins needs to stop being such big babies. Ever think Jillian didn't work them out because they didn't even give her a chance and kept crying to Bob. Their actions proved it last night. If I was on blue (especially one of the blues going against the two cousins) I would have had HUGE issues with Bob working them out.

MLR930 · 03-11-2009, 09:58 AM

I'm so mad at Ron! I used to have sympathy for him because we both failed our weight loss surgeries but now I think he's just an ass! I hope he goes home next week!

JLucPicard · 03-11-2009, 10:19 AM

Was it editing, or did Fillipe basically lie to Bob about what was said between him and Jillian? Fillipe sure made it sound like, "Ya, I told that beeyatch." From the editing, it just looked like a whiny fit. I hope at least Bob and Jillian discuss what happened so Bob can get a feel for it.

Unless they shuffle teams again, I think they should send the cousins back to have to work with Jillian. How strange must it have been when the game creates head-to-head matchups that you are now forced to work out with your opponent?

And how messed up was the blue team that they still lost after the way the black team blew it out in their 'leisure prize' trip? There didn't seem to be the "we got this, no problem" attitude on their team like the black team seemed to have. I was truly surprised at how that turned out. Did blue just slack off because of black's trip? I didn't get that sense from the way the show went down.

Heh, when both of the sisters weighed in, I told my SO that maybe if they'd eaten more Fiber One bars they would have had a better weight loss.

I don't see them "allowing" him to switch teams at all. Sure, he's working out with Bob, and Bob's letting him, but ultimately for game purposes, Sione & Felipe are black and their scores will be tallied with other black team members.

I don't think Felipe was lying about it at all. As far as Felipe's concerned, he DID tell Jillian off. Of course, we know he didn't tell her off at all, he just whined like a baby. My wife said he reminded her of our 4-year-old.

When Felipe & Sione went into the gym, they went TO Bob, and said Bob, train us! Why didn't they do this with Jillian? An hour goes by, hey, she hasn't come by here, HEY JILLIAN! TRAIN US! Nope, they didn't do that. Then Felipe goes and says that it's Jillian's fault for him only losing 1 pound? Dude, you partied pretty hard.

Also, don't these people watch TBL? Every season they've done a treat like this, the people have been screwed over by it. Look at the Vegas trip a few seasons ago! And you're right, IJLT, all those facilities have gyms, there was no excuse for them not working out.

But why should they use Bob's time to train them? That's not fair to the blue team at all. Especially in this context where they were literally being trained to beat one of bob's people.

I suspect your 4 YO acts more maturely.

Exactly what I said earlier. Passive aggressive behavior never gets you what you want. I have a PA personality but even I learned that waiting for people to figure out what you want is nowhere near as effective as telling them. Then, when the don't figure it out, you act out? I did that when I was a kid and then my mom told me to knock it off.

Yep, they had no one to Blame, Jillian sure as hell didn't take 36 hours off and then east 4000 calories of food in one day. Having said that, to lose nothing or gain means they slacked off all week, not just that one day.

I think Tara loaded but it was a huge gamble. If her team had lost, she would have been completely exposed. It will pay off well next week, but boy, what a risk!

She has always appeared to be on the ranch to play the game.

I will cop to "lying" maybe being a little harsh, and maybe should have said "embelishing greatly". I posted from work and would have to review it again when I get home, but in the scene with Jillian I thought he told her he was there for two hours or something and she never even trained him. Then "you di'nt, you di'nt!" wah, wah, wah! It seemed when he was relating the incident to Bob what he said he told her certainly was a lot that I don't remember hearing when he was talking to Jillian. It also kind of sat wrong with me that he never even looked at her.

My not remembering properly, the editing of the show leaving a fair amount out, or Fillipe embelishing an awful lot with Bob to make his case, I'll have to reserve judgement until I can watch it again. I still think it would be good (not that it maybe hasn't happened already) if Bob got the story from Jillian to get a better idea of what happened.

Either way, I hope they don't just let them stay with Bob.

Sorry, big macho Samoan/Tongan/whatever acting like that just looks ridiculous.

laria · 03-11-2009, 04:26 PM

The whole situation with Bob and Filipe/Sione has been ridiculous since they switched teams. I can't believe they have been acting the way they have been for so long. You got switched... SUCK IT UP!

I think he basically lied. I can't quote from the episode, but when I was watching it, I remember thinking that what he told Bob was totally different from what we saw of it.. now while that is almost certainly *partially* editing, I think we saw enough of his screaming to show that he didn't tell Jillian what he said he did.

(I don't think it's quite a whiny fit either.. I don't defend what he did, but it was bad for Jillian to not work out with him.. it's her freaking job. Plus, hadn't Jillian just gone off on them?)

That's just it. She'd just gone off on them about how she can't train them because they won't listen to her. Both of them, Felipe in particular, have been whining about how they weren't getting anything from Jillian. She was training them hard last week, and all they did was whine. So they slacked, and she said fine, I won't train you.

Waaaa.

How about he gets it from the 20-30 producers and staff members who were about 20 feet away at all times, directing the action to some extent, and approving the changes?

the blue team is weak because they keep voting off their strongest players and keeping ron around who is a liability on all challenges. i'm shocked that his name never bubbles up in the elimination discussions.

Pretty much sums up my feelings too. As Ron himself would say, "it's Ron's turn to go". And Felipe just completely lost it. I think he was looking for a reason to bail on Jillian anyway and used his "neglect" as an excuse to dump her. Should Bob have sent him back to work it out with her? Perhaps, but then again, would Jillian have done the same for him? Doubt it. Seems to me, those two are just as much in competition with each other as the contestants are.

My guess is they use her cause she says lots of inflammatory stuff and they love it. Personally, I'm with you. She isn't saying anything I give a damn about. I'd be fine if She, Ron and Filipe were gone. The rest I can tolerate.

Havana Brown · 03-16-2009, 01:30 PM

When Tara was sitting down for dinner at the spa she was wearing either a black dress or black top that had her shoulders exposed. You can tell she's lost so much weight and it gave way to way she will potentially look like. Her face is really thin now. I can see her being super thin at about 150. I thought Madi looked great after she went home and I"m glad she was able to do it on her own.

Havana Brown · 03-17-2009, 10:48 AM

Mandi was on the Today show this morning. She said she's lost 90 lbs. so far. I guess now every Tuesday they will have the kicked off contestant from the previous week.
