Biggest Loser Tuesday A Whole Lotta Not Much?
Hi Everyone!
We’re back from our 30th anniversary jaunt. San Diego is such a beautiful place. Neil Diamond was amazing. Now there’s inspiration to stay healthy and in shape!
I just finished watching Tuesday’s Biggest Loser show. The first words that come to mind are tear-jerky and annoying. The show started with Amy and Philip going home for 24 hours. They spent time hiking with their children and hugging and crying. Crying happens a lot on the Biggest Loser doesn’t it? While Amy & Philip were home, Shellay and Amy spent 24 hours with their trainer, Jillian. What were they thinking? She definitely belongs on a Marine Base. I know I could never be on the Biggest Loser because I DO NOT like being yelled at. It’s why I could never play a sport or join a military unit. You yell at me, I shut down–plain and simple! Meanwhile back at the ranch the rest of the couples (and Coleen) were business as usual.
The challenge this week involved hanging from a chain/bar while balancing on another. It started out easy because they were doing it in a tank full of water, but then slowly but surely the water started draining and hanging on got harder and harder. The end was a showdown between Amy and Vicky. The prize was a package from home along with a family VIP vacation at Universal Studios. Both of the women wanted it bad, but Vicky won. That mother fighting for something for her “youngin” kicked in! Vicky was able to pick another couple to get the package from home and she picked Amy so all’s well that ends well, ya know?
The next part of the show was a Jillian screaming fest. I’ll be honest–I fast forwarded. I just can’t stand to listen to her scream and threaten the contestants. Other than a little time that Bob spent talking with Vicky about her exercise routines (she has bad knees) and then Vicky in turn talking to her hubby about having to work out more than him–nothing else to report.
So is that all this season is going to hold? Crying and yelling and not much else? What about more nutrition guidance? What about ways to exercise that aren’t just pain sessions? What about some real compassion from the coaches? Is it me, or does Jillian always look like she’s BS’n when she finally makes a “breakthrough”?
So since this is a two show week, we get to see who lost what and falls below the yellow line tonight at 9:00 p.m. Again, there will be only one couple below the yellow line and they will have to choose which one of them will leave and which one of them will stay. I have to admit, I’m still rooting for Coleen–especially since she’s all alone now. How about the rest of you? Stay tuned…love Bloggergal1
