Biggest Loser Season 15
 

Can't wait for the Biggest Loser season 15 to start :carrot: October 8th, save the date! Reuben from "American Idol" is on it too...

The coaches also had more say in the choosing of the contestants and on who goes home, they can give them a second chance...

I also can't wait! I know the rate of loss on this show is completely unrealistic but I still find it so motivating!

I've never watched much of it before, but I am looking forward to this season and finding inspiration :)

Thx Ilene, wasn't sure exactly when it would be starting. Sounds like it should be a good season.

I love Rueben!

I love The Biggest Loser!

Can't wait for renewed motivation always come along with the show!!

This is my first season of watching the show without sitting in front of the tv stuffing a pint of ice cream in my face and telling myself I wish I could be like them. My journey might not be exactly the same as theirs but I can do it!

Who watched last night?

I have a favorite already. Rachel, the swimmer. Love her.

I watched it....I'm so glad Jillian saved the guy who fell below the red line. I'm also glad that the guy with the beard didn't end up with Jillian! ;)

I really liked the new format, the trainers choosing the contestants, the trainers having a choice of letting go of the person below the yellow line...

I think there will be a lot less whiners this year too YAY for that...

My favourite is the Olympic lifter :yes: and Reuben what a cutee...

David did amazing losing 38lbs. He is a very sad story, has a lot of demons to conquer with losing his first wife.

I also think it was smart thinking for Jillian to save the first person to leave her team. This totally prevents her from playing favorite later on and takes the "save" card completely out of her team's game. I found it a very good strategic move.

Yes, I'm glad Jillian didn't get David. I think he needed a different trainer. I love Jillian. She's my favorite but it's also because she is just like me. David totally shut down when confronted with her style of coaching so he needed someone more apt to sit down and talk those issues through. I think Dolvett was a good choice.

The woman who has a crush on Dolvett is so weird.

Bob and Holley will be an interesting team.

Love it love it love it...I also feel inspired when I watch the show. It always gives me the munchies but I have the power!! lol.

Good point!! Why didn't I think of that :lol:

Anyone watch the new one?

I always find it disturbing in the producing of this show how they "skim" over some people. Their stories are never fully developed. I am always saying, "Wait. Who is that again?" They're like the redshirts of the USS Fattbutt.

I would say I am sad to see Fernanda go but "Wait. Who is that again?"

Hi, just browsing through the forum. For some reason I don't actually watch the show, but I like to see the weigh-in at the end. I hate to see when people are pushed so hard that they fall off the machines, and then get screamed at for it. I also think the challenges are over the top. Maybe this is why I am so overweight.....

Darn I missed last nights, the DVR didn't record for some reason :(

Ilene - You can watch the full episodes online if you want to. It wasn't a spectacular episode.

It is so strange that for some reason when I watch the show I always get the munchies! lol..I try to have a protein snack handy!

I have always watched the show and used to complain about it being too long. Now I don't like that it is only 1 hour. I feel we miss so much about the people and the relationships in the house.

I know!! I thought the same at the end of this week's episode :lol: ... We're never happy are we :lol:

Why are they not showing the after pics of the eliminated players. that is so inspiring to me. Really hate this new format

I THINK I showed it last time at the start of the next episode, I hope so, I would miss that part of the show...

I was sooooo sad to see Reuben leave :( I hope he`s learned enough to continue onto his goal at home...

I felt bad to see Reuben go - I felt like he would have been awesome to watch.

I wondered if anybody thought they edited thing funny while Jillian's team was waiting. It's like they have a compilation of her looking angry and disgusted and they kept showing it (I felt like) while her team was weighing in, when they all did pretty good!

Such a pity ruben was sent home! I thought he would win....
I hate the red line! I want the yellow line back....

Yes, yes, and yes re: teh yellow line... Red line is so last minute and BAM they're gone :(

I was sad to see Rueben go, also. But, I don't hate the red line and I will tell you why. I don't miss the alliances and the voting and the constant saving of people who should have gone home. (Like that mean girl Conda from a couple seasons back.) It stopped being inspirational when it wasn't about the biggest loser; it was Survivor with more gym time and even more drama. I prefer the scale deciding instead of a vote, even if it means a favorite goes home or someone who really needs to be there.

Good points... I'll look at it that way from now on... I'd forgotten about Conda, disliked her a whole lot, she was a mean, bully girl...

Totally agree..I hated when they had to vote someone off. Sad about Ruben but excited to see where he is now in the next episode!!

Yep, I hated the voting too. This is so much better.

I was glad to see Ruben go. I felt like he wasn't trying at all. Apparently he's lost 104 pounds now though so that's good.

Did anybody else think the Bob and Holly thing was SO WEIRD this episode? I really loved seeing the weightlifters but I think if I had been part of his team, I would have been like, "Wow. Really? Do you guys need some time alone? I don't mean to get in the way here."

The Bob & Holly thing...well, trainers do seem to play favorites sometimes; but yeah a little weird. Not nearly as weird as the Jillian scandal tonight, though. I haven't watched every season; but all but a couple. I don't ever remember a trainer being called out, caught giving pills, penalized or anything like that. Can't recall any player being brought back over a rules violation. That was definitely interesting. Caffeine pills?! oO

Link to an NBC new article about the event. Lots of *SPOILERS* about the episode that just aired tonight if you haven't watched it yet.

That was a shocker! Makes you wonder if she's done it, secretly, on previous seasons... I bet she was pissssssed when she was ousted on national TV :lol: ... It was a good episode though... (I wonder if those caffeine pills work :devil: )

Next week the first 5 minutes of the show we should see the eliminated player's progress :carrot:

Ruben is a popular favorite. I wonder if they came up with the punishment just to bring Ruben back.

OMG i never thought of that... they probably paid Jillian extra $$ to suck it up and take the blame... HA! hilarious :lol:

Wow..I'm glad Jillian stuck to her guns however as mentioned previously she should have cleared it with the doctors..I wonder how they even knew.

Hiddenstar, that was the FIRST thing I thought. Jillian didn't seem sufficiently pissed and it was all very bizarre.

Well, I don't think any of them seemed surprised, not Jillian and not the white team. Since the true weigh-in happens before filming I think they must have told Jillian and/or her team off camera, earlier in the day or just edited it out. I hate to go all tin hat theory...but it does seem odd and maybe even fishy. Maybe it was a plot to get a poplular contestant back, IDK.

Just watched this episode, and I really think this was just to get ruben back. It's said because Craig has tried so hard. I'm really pulling for him to do good things.
