BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb biggest loser on TV

ah ok interesting! We may have to actually watch it live next week then, rather than in our usual recorded state. It'll kill me though - there are SO many commercials in that show. You waste half the time waiting for the commercials to end!

Yes, and then there are the commercials DURING the show. lol. But I don't mind them so much; everything they promote is still useful info in the sense that these are the products they are using to get fit.

As fat as I can see, they use Ziplock bags to cook things in the microwave, add seasonings to meat in a shake-and-bake fashion and portion out meals for traveling. They use Pam spray for cooking (no fats, no calories), drink their water from Nalgene bottles, eat popcorn and sugar free Extra gum as snacks, take One A Day vitamins and eat veggie Subway sandwiches. And that's fine. If i was following their program I'd be glad for the info, even if it's obviously add placements.

It would annoy me if the placements were for random things that were not helpful for weight loss, like if they promoted using WD-40 to clean their gym equipment, or using Dyson vacuums to suck up dirt and allergens from their rooms at the ranch. So I just take it for what it's worth.

Well, they *did* have the one product placement for Travelocity.com that wasn't very subtle, but I will let that one go! They used it to see the restaurant menu at their destination in Australia, so I will concede it can help someone stay on their diet when they travel.

I did actually read a report on their site about the bottles - apparently they used to use bottled water "on campus" and went through some phenomenal amount of bottles just for one season. Now they have completely converted to Brita water filters and have saved thousands of bottles. So to me that's a very good thing!

That's cool that they made that change - sets a great example.

Our water filter that you recommended came in, Lisa, so we are using up the rest of our bottled water and are looking forward to not wasting any more resources.

We also have Nalgene bottles to refill them with, just like at the ranch. I am a big fan of Nalgenes, as an outdoorsy chick.

That's so great - let us know how it works out! We use ours constantly

Biggest Loser is on tonite!!!!

This is the one where the watchers - us - gets to decide who goes home. So if people are looking forward to seeing two girls and a guy in the final three (which has NEVER happened), make sure to be involved in this episode.

Yayayayayayay!

WOW! last night's ep was incredible! I am so happy, thrilled, excited, pleased for and proud of those two girls. I loved seeing Jillian fall to the ground in shock and joy after Kelly weighed in. I was crying, of course.

Wasn't that weigh-in amazing? I couldn't believe the numbers they all pulled, or that both women ended up above the line!
I have voted for Roger to stay, he is a sweetie and even though he will give the women more competition, I couldn't vote him off.

Right, people have to go vote!
