I happened across this article and thought I'd share it with you:


Odd it didn't show up the first time, you'll need to copy and paste into your address bar I guess.

LOL Sportmom - Vicky & epidural!!! Something out of Halloween or Friday the 13th!!! LOLOL

I feel REALLY bad for Amy - how on earth did she think she was doing the right thing/ Maybe Vicky told her she can do voodoo. Anyway - I think Amy may wind up really winning the whole thing - man -!! Those numbers!!

I really didn't think Coleen was going to be the one to go this week. And form a potential percentage point of view - Coleen couldn't out-percentage Vicky unless she went like, below the 100's....

Hmmm. Finally the chance to get rid of Vicky, what a waste...

As much as I love Bobalicious, this has probably been my last season to watch BL. I didn't watch Tuesday, and I don't think I'll be tuning in next week either. As for bringing back Kim, that's just the last straw for me.
Oh Lord me too. That's the finale nail in the coffin.

Ugh! They need to get off this tired old couples/families thing. I am tired of it. I would really like to see TBL go back to singleton contestants. I missed the season with Kim Lyons, so I will be interested to see her in action.

Jillian *IS* in season 7, not sure if any of you knew that. She's been talking about it on her radio show, so sounds like they are using all three trainers next season.

Yep, that's what I was going to point out too. Jillian is definitely in season 7 so maybe they are adding Kim back. I never watched a season with her (I've only seen 5 and now 6) but I've heard people didn't like her.

Well, I think she's okay, I just don't feel as motivated or inspired by her like I do with Bob & Jillian. Curious to see what's going to happen if there are three trainers again though.

I've always wondered who is the host? What role dose she play in all of this? Did she loose a bunch of weight before or something??

Allison Sweeney is a soap star. She is on Days of Our Lives. She has struggled with her weight in the past, she wasnt obese by any means just a little chubby. The first season she started hosting she talked about her weight struggles. I believe she's also just a big fan of the show.

I thought the season where they had 3 trainers was interesting. First it gave more contestants the opportunity to be on the show and lose weight which is a good thing. Also liked that you had three different trainer styles to watch.

As I remember Kim, she wasn't bad on the two seasons she was on (I think she was on two - one with just her and Bob, and the surprise the next season when Jillian came back).

She seemed to be a mix of Bob and Jillian, but I don't think she was particularly bad. It seemed like she faded in the background once Jillian came back with the black team.

I didn't mean to say that Kim was bad, just that I didn't find here terrible inspiring, and I much prefer Bob and Jillian

I agree that she's sort of a mix of Bob & Jillian's methods. Sort of. I am interested to see how she is though if she's coming back.

And, today is Tuesday folks! Biggest Loser Turkey Day edition is on tonight! I can't wait.
