BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb biggest loser on TV

Denise - I was wondering about that. I figured they didn't allow them to get weighed until the "actual weigh in". If they are really weighing multiple times a day then how come it is always such a big shock near the end what their final weight was? Heck I would weigh myself 1/2 hr before the official weigh in so I was really prepared for it

Belle - it does sound like you need to upgrade!! We didn't have a DVR until quite recently but now we are hooked on it. I love fast forwarding through commercials. It is AMAZING how many commercials they have not only on that show but in the middle of them. I have to say that mid-show commercials (the "everyone should buy Orville Popcorn because it is so tasty!" stuff) really bugs me.

Lisa, we should make a BL Product Placement Drinking Game. heeheehee

I hate the commercials too. They are so annoying. How many shows can you record at one time?

BelleAl, DVRs can record two shows at once but you cannot be watching a third.

I like Roger too! My husband played high school football in Alabama. Not the same but still...

Yes ours can hold I think about 20 shows, so it's good to have it just sit there collecting shows and then we only watch them in DVR form - no commercials. It's amazing how much time you save ...

Here's a fun question: Would people rather have Jillian or Bob as their trainer???

Jilly, I think I may have taken the $10,000. I don't really think Jay has a chance of winning the whole thing.

I can't wait for the final episode!!! I love to see what everyone looks like. On the other hand, I hate it because then I know it is over.

Lisa-In regards to weighing in at different times of the day, supposedly they aren't shown the weight.

here is a quote from Bernie off the web:
"Do you do a pre weigh in?
Yes, the morning of the weigh in, we are weighed on a precise scale. When you wake up you get the most accurate, clearest weight. Our weigh-in was not shared with us or anyone.?"

There was another interview (one of the women) that said they get 3 weigh ins, in the am and 1-2 other times.

Notice their shocked expressions just before the commercial, and then it isn't always the same after the commercial. I'm wondering if the expressions are filmed at different times. They need to create drama for the viewers, I think.

I like the show. It's quite inspiring.

I'd rather have Jillian - she's hardcore and I think you'd get the optimal experience with her. Bob's too soft....which is why Jillian's teams have always kicked his butt until this season when he had the deck totally stacked in his favor.

You know I was thinking the opposite Sofie - that Jillian did that "I'll make her not do well this week and she'll do great next week" think last week which got someone kicked out. I'm very much of the world series point of view - you have to win the game in front of you and *then* worry about the next game. So her whole mentality of "not do great this week for long term goal" ended up causing that girl to lose the game ...
