The Biggest Loser: Season 2

[TaterBaby]

Kathryn definitely stuck out like a sore thumb! I think she had lost 16 lbs total, which is right around the amount she lost while at the ranch. It was her attitude that really stunk though. If she was going to act like that, she should have refused to attend like that other guy!

ITA!! The only thing I kept wondering was that maybe she thought nobody would really have changed that much other than the finalists? And then when she got there and saw everyone, it must have completely deflated her and made her realize she was going to stick out badly. I just don't understand how she didn't manage to lose anymore weight after she left the ranch when she said that she was going to continue to diet and exercise? :confused:

BTW...I thought Bob was going to faint when he saw Suzy. I still say there is something there!!
:D

[Sazoo]

BTW...I thought Bob was going to faint when he saw Suzy. I still say there is something there!!
:D
I was hoping we'd see some sort of connection between them during the finale...I was watching for it, but I didn't really notice much. I still wonder if he's gay, but I kind of hope not! :p

[tgray99]

:D
I could've sworn I saw them hugging when they announced that Matt had won. He was embracing someone and rubbing their back as they were hugging and I'm pretty sure it was Suzy, but who knows!?!

When Bob and Jillian were brought back out for the end of the show, Bob and Suzy made a beeline for each other. Plus, I noticed that he barely took his eyes off of her the whole time. Hmmmmm....how can we find out for sure if he's gay or not??? There has to be someone who knows!

[miaclear]

I wonder if there was some monitary incentive to show up to the reunion/finale, and that's why Katheryn went. I couldn't imagine any reason for her to go. Yeah she lost 16 lbs but she didnt' seem happy about it.

[taraw]

Did anyone else think that Jillian's dress was totally unflattering on her? And what was up with those wrist bands she was wearing?

I also thought it looked like Caroline (the host) was trying to look like Pam Anderson. Her hair was huge and she was showing a lot more cleavage than usual.

[Sazoo]

I could've sworn I saw them hugging when they announced that Matt had won. He was embracing someone and rubbing their back as they were hugging and I'm pretty sure it was Suzy, but who knows!?!
I thought I saw that too, but then the camera panned over & cut them off, & when it went back everyone was mostly just standing there waving at the cameras, cheering, etc. :confused:

Maybe we'll have to keep an eye out for celebrity gossip on those too...lol.

[filmgirl7]

Did anyone else think that Jillian's dress was totally unflattering on her? And what was up with those wrist bands she was wearing?

There was one part where Caroline asked Jillian a question and Jillian answered it but then my FH said to me "Tell me you didn't spend the entire time looking at her chest right then." And I said "YUP." I kept wondering if that shirt was going to just fall off! What was she thinking?!!? :eek:

[tbell]

About Kathryn: on her video on nbc.com (it may not still be there, I watched it a while ago) she was saying that with being an attorney and all, she couldn't find the time to work out and it was too hard to eat right. Sorry, but my sympathy doesn't go very far. I think she was embarrassed to be on the show with everyone who'd lost so much weight.

She was thinking about all of the other stunning women (the contestants) that were going to be there and how she needed to measure up to them!! :D

[mlfallis]

I watched the video Bob did at the final show. I defiently think there is something with him and Suzy

http://www.nbc.com/The_Biggest_Loser/videoextras/finaleclips.shtml

[TaterBaby]

Ok, I totally think Bob is gay. The only thing I know about him was that he went to the same university that I went to and he was a cheerleader. I know male cheerleader doesn't equal gay, but since I saw him on the first season, I have always thought that he was.
I think the attraction with Suzy is that she was the only one left from his team. I mean, Jillian was hugging and kissing all over the men because they were on her team. I could be wrong, but I'm sticking with my gay-dar.

ITA with this! He's gay.

[taraw]

Me too, I think he is gay.

Hello! Hawaiian Tropic model alert! I thought Suzanne looked absolutely STUNNING on the finale!! :)

[lady1297]

I think she's sucking in her tummy a bit too much!

[Sazoo]

Me too! :p

[mrstim]

I think she's sucking in her tummy too - but she still does look so much better! :D

[Rancid13]

I wish I looked that good when posing in a bikini, sucking in my tummy or not. :D

[filmgirl7]

ITA with the last poster...I wish i looked that good in a bathing suit.

On another topic, I was looking for some before/after pics from the show and I couldn't really find any great ones. Where did you find the one of Suzanne? I'm wondering if there are pics of the other contestants there too. Maybe i'm just not looking in the right place. hmmm... Help me out! :)

[mrstim]

Film - I found all those pictures on NBC.com. They have galleries of some of the players, where I found them. I posted a before&after of each one they had, but there are tons of pics of the players I posted. I just tried to choose the ones that showed the best how much they'd changed. :D

[udsweetpea]

Did anyone see in US Weekly that Matt and Suzy went out on a romantic date together? I think that's SO cute!!! Good for them!

[Sazoo]

No...but that's great! :D

[Rancid13]

Aw, how cute! I did read in one of the gossip mags (In Touch perhaps?) where they had an article on the top 5 Losers, and Suzy mentioned that Matt was looking pretty good and she knew he didn't have a girlfriend so maybe....and Matt mentioned something about Suzy being such a sweetheart. Aw!!!

[udsweetpea]

yeah, the article said Suzy says she has a crush on Matt, and Matt thinks Suzy is sooo beautiful! I think it would be great if they started dating. At least they have each other as a support system. Seems like their friends weren't very good at keeping them on track.

[kate]

I heard last week that Matt already has a girlfriend from his hometown. I work in a salon somewhat close to the area, and the girlfriend's friend came in and was talking about them. He sounds like a great guy!

[kdotp]

I heard last week that Matt already has a girlfriend from his hometown. I work in a salon somewhat close to the area, and the girlfriend's friend came in and was talking about them. He sounds like a great guy!I live in Cedar Rapids and have heard Matt on one of the local radio stations numerous times, but haven't heard anything about a girlfriend. Not that he has to tell the DJs everything about his personal life, but he's been pretty open when he's been on-air.

Here's the radio station website with some pics of Matt:
http://www.schulteandswann.com/index.html
(scroll down past the Biggest Loser banner and click on the "Click Here" buttons. Suzy is in quite a few of the ones from VH1; I think the blond with the long hair in some of the other pics is the morning show producer.)

[lady1297]

I wish I looked that good when posing in a bikini, sucking in my tummy or not.

Well, yes, but still! Can't I just be jealous! :) hehe!

[Sarah051504]

I'm a big fan of this show and an even bigger lurker in this thread. But I just had to show myself and answer your question to the Matt girlfriend question. On NBC's website there's a bunch of "behind the scenes" videos and there's one where Suzy is interviewing Matt and she asks if he has a girlfriend and he says yes. Here's the link for you guys to check it out.

http://www.nbc.com/The_Biggest_Loser/videoextras/finaleclips.shtml

[southerner]

I'm holding out hope that the girlfriend rumor is either not true or that Suzy is his girlfriend :D

I'd be down to watch a Matt and Suzy wedding episode in a few years :p

[cbiggers]

In US Weekly (with Brit-Brit and K-fed on the cover), there is a story on a few of the people. It says that Matt and Suzy were seen at a "romantic" dinner together in Marina del Rey and he is quoted as saying "Suzy is just beautiful" and she is quoted as saying "I have a crush on him." So.....it could be true!!!!!

[sarahh]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/shancock/67d6fe22.jpg

It's official: Matt Hoover and Suzy Preston, who together lost a combined 252 pounds as contestants on NBC's The Biggest Loser, tell PEOPLE they're a couple.

"I think it's going to be great," says Hoover, 29, a former wrestling coach. "She is awesome."

The way they met was anything but normal. Suzy was a bespectacled 227-lbs. and Matt was a burly 339. "I saw him at his worst, absolutely," says Preston, 29. "And he saw me at my worst. He saw me sweating and passing gas."

Hoover thinks their shared experiences as finalists on Loser (he won the $250,000 grand prize, and now weighs 182 pounds; she took home $25,000 as second runner-up, and weighs 132 pounds) gives their romance a unique foundation.

"We have a lot in common. Going through something like we went through is life-changing. We are not the same people we were before all this and we are both at a point in our lives where we know what it's like to be fat and miserable – and what it's like to be happy and healthy."

Hoover, who lives in Iowa, said he is contemplating a move to be closer to Preston, a hairstylist, in Seattle.

[southerner]

WOOT WOOT!!!

Sarahh, Did you watch this season? I don't remember you posting. Anyway, you're awesome and I proudly present you with my pick for this years "Best Finder of all Things Celebrity" on CC award.

Said it before and I'll say it again:

Dear NBC,

I will watch their wedding episode if they let you show it.

[Sazoo]

That's so great! :D

[sarahh]

WOOT WOOT!!!

Sarahh, Did you watch this season? I don't remember you posting. Anyway, you're awesome and I proudly present you with my pick for this years "Best Finder of all Things Celebrity" on CC award.Hee hee! ;) Yeah I watched it randomly but didn't really follow it from week to week except for the last few episodes.

Thanks for new title...I wonder if I can change my CC profile to that! ;)

[kdotp]

Okay, I knew this would come up today. The local radio station had this in their "Z's sleaze" (entertainment gossip) spot and they called Matt to see if it was true.

He said it was absolutely FALSE and that he's very happily involved with someone. So he does have a girlfriend.

Unless he's not telling the truth (which I doubt, he's been really good to this radio station and vice versa) or can't say anything about it until the issue hits the stands, I'll believe him and the radio station.

PS - he's also going to guest DJ in January sometime when one of the DJs is on vacation. When I know the date, I'll post the link--you can listen to the station over the internet.

The rest of the article from People Magazine (including quotes from Suzy) is above.

I would believe People Magazine over a random radio station. He probably has an exclusive with People on the story and can't talk about the relationship until the story runs in this weeks people.

[southerner]

ya think? I hope that's the case, sarahh. I will say this though, whoever he is dating, is one lucky girl. He's a sweetheart and I love that he's so sensitive.

[kdotp]

This station is the station in his hometown area that has followed him since the beginning of The Biggest Loser. He's been on air many, many times and thanked them publicly on air (and on the TV show when he said there were thousands of people back home in Iowa watching him). The Morning Show Producer went to LA with him for the finale of The Biggest Loser. He's been back on-air (at his request) because he enjoyed it so much. This is the station I listen to, and I've been on-air with the DJs, so they wouldn't be making it up. They would be the first to congratulate him if it is true.

I also said in my previous post he may not be able to say anything until the issue is released but this isn't just "some random radio station."

[sarahh]

To me it's a randoms station...never heard of it! ;)

Never said the DJs were lying or that it was not a reputable station...I just chose to believe the official statement Matt and Suzy realsed to People.

[southerner]

Why does Jan. 9th have to be almost a month away :(

I'm dying to know the truth. If he just can't say it until it "hits the stands" or it's a rumor. Maybe Matt will come back on the radio station after that People mag is out??

[jimmysgirl424]

I would also tend to believe it if it's something coming from People magazine. Hurry up January 9th!!

[udsweetpea]

Am I missing the significance of January 9th?

[Sazoo]

Am I missing the significance of January 9th?
That's when the article is coming out in People Magazine, I think.

[southerner]

Am I missing the significance of January 9th?

that's when the People magazine comes out.

[udsweetpea]

Ohh...thanks! Why that long?!?! We can't wait that long!!!

When does the new Special Edition of The Biggest Loser premiere!?

[southerner]

When does the new Special Edition of The Biggest Loser premiere!?

Wednesday, January 4th.

[udsweetpea]

Wednesday, January 4th.

Oh no! It better not interfere with Lost!

[southerner]

Oh no! It better not interfere with Lost!

thank goodness for TIVO ;)

[udsweetpea]

I guess I'll have to tape it... I'm way behind on the whole TiVo thing. :( Is the Special Edition show just one episode or a whole series?

[southerner]

I read that it's going to be like a bunch of "mini-shows" Like one or two episodes will be the same family vs. family, town vs. town, couple vs. couple, etc.

By the way, have y'all seen these sites from BL2 contestants?

[cakes]

Aww those two were SO cute on Extra tonight!!!

[lady1297]

What happened on Extra??

[Sarah051504]

I was just half watching the RMA's as I was folding laundry and I looked up and Suzy and Matt were on there talkign to Santa and Matt said somethign like "...now that she's my girlfriend..." refering to Suzy! There didn't really seem to be a point to them being on there except to announce that they were together.

[cakes]

Basically Extra just had the two of them on there and just showed them at a "romantic" dinner before the awards show tonight and they were all cute and flirty with eachother. Joking about when they started crushing on eachother.

I guess Suzie was one of the "special corrispondants" for the awards tonight.

[southerner]

Yeah!!! It's true!!!

[jimmysgirl424]

I'm so excited to hear that it's really true!!! Yaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!:D :D :D

[sarahh]

There is a really adorable photo of them in the latest issue of People (along with the article I posted above a few days ago). I'll see if I can find it online.

[udsweetpea]

Biggest Loser Season 2 Marathon!!!!!

Catch all of season 2 on Bravo on New Year's Day! I'm not sure what time it starts, but I will be in front of the TV all day!

[southerner]

I'm going to set my TIVO to record the first few episodes of the season :eek:

Don't forget the Biggest Loser Special Edition starts next week!

eta: should I PM a mod and ask to have the thread title changed? To Biggest Loser Special Edition?

[ginadc]

Some more on Matt and Suzy from Access Hollywood:
They Went in Big and Lonely, but They Came Out Buff and in Love. (http://www.accesshollywood.com/station/5600175/detail.html)

[udsweetpea]

So the email I got from The Biggest Loser said the marathon would be on 1/1 and the Bravo TV guide said it will be on 1/2. Anyone have any clue which is right?

[udsweetpea]

is anyone watching The Biggest Loser marathon today?

[southerner]

I'm home today. Thanks for reminding me. Which episode are they on? I only wanted to watch the first few. I CANNOT get succked in, I have stuff I'm supposed to get done today :rolleyes:

[udsweetpea]

they're on the 3rd episode... i cannot get sucked in because I have to work tonight. I hope they come out on DVD because I need to watch this show more often than I do.

[southerner]

Don't forget it starts tomorrow.

This is the week that Suzy and Matt article comes out in People.

[sarahh]

Don't forget it starts tomorrow.

This is the week that Suzy and Matt article comes out in People.They had a little blurb about them a couple of weeks ago and then another larger article about Matt, Suzy and Seth (??) in the most recent issue. The one from a couple of weeks ago was just a one pager, with photo of them on the beach and a short column. It was all about their new relationship.

In this week's issue they said that Matt and Suzy started hanging out during the 8th week of the show. Talking walks together and getting to know eachother. So this has been going on for a LOT longer than we suspected!:D

[southerner]

do y'all think at the ranch????? :eek:

[KRM&TPS]

You can kind of tell that maybe they had a thing for each other. I was watching the last episode at the ranch and you could see them look at each other different. Like there was something there.

[southerner]

I never noticed that. I was too busy paying attnetion to Suzy and Bob after someone mentioned that in this thread. Maybe it all went downhill after that haricut she gave him ;)

[mortiz]

I saw them last week on Larry King and he asked when it all started. Matt said for him it was after the hair cut. He said that getting his hair cut was such a powerful experience because he was letting so much negative stuff go. He said it was a very special thing to share with Suzy. He also said he was dating other people too though. They both said it was all so new and they were still getting to know each other. Suzy said she calls Matt her BF though. :)

[jimmysgirl424]

Don't forget; Biggest Loser special edition is on tonight and it's a two hour episode! I already have it set up on my DVR! :D

[udsweetpea]

I'm so "old school"... I gotta find a spare video tape so I can tape it.

[Sazoo]

My Tivo is all set to record it! :)

[udsweetpea]

What a great show?!?! I didn't know it would be a whole new season.. just thought it would be one show. Can't wait for next week!

[southerner]

It's a whole new season??? Cool! It's families, right? I'm so excited now!

[udsweetpea]

It's a whole new season??? Cool! It's families, right? I'm so excited now!

Every week is different. Next week is engaged couples competing for a $50,000 wedding. Another week is Navy wives vs. Marine wives (I think).

They stay at the ranch for 11 days and then go home for 5 months.

[southerner]

Then what happens, they reunite at the finale for a final weigh in? Are Bob and Jillian the trainers? I won't get to watch until tomorrow, sorry for all th questions.

[tgray99]

How do they do this to me? Biggest Loser, CSI:NY AND the Rose Bowl all on one night. Grrr... :mad:

;)

[Sazoo]

Then what happens, they reunite at the finale for a final weigh in? Are Bob and Jillian the trainers? I won't get to watch until tomorrow, sorry for all th questions.Yep. The family who lost the largest percentage of weight after the 11 days at the ranch won a vacation to a spa, & then when they came back for the final weigh-in months later, the family with the greatest percentage of weightloss won $50,000.

Great show - I'm looking forward to the engaged couple edition that starts next Wed! :)

ETA - Yes, Bob & Jillian were the trainers. They even went to visit the families once to give them encouragement & to help them workout.

[mel7dog]

Great show! I like the concept of thr new season. I will be watching every week! Next week looks really good :)

[bethnjim]

Last night was a good show. Does anyone know the number of months the families had to lose the weight? Both mothers looked AWESOME!

[Kopper]

The final weigh-in was 5 months after their time at the ranch. Otto looked amazing!

[bethnjim]

So the one mother lost almost 90lbs in 5 months. That is really amazing. She looked really healthy! I was trying to peek into the fridge to see what they stocked in there. Looked like lots of veggies and fruits and egg beaters. Interesting!

[Sazoo]

I was trying to peek into the fridge to see what they stocked in there. Looked like lots of veggies and fruits and egg beaters. Interesting!
I saw some of that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray in there, too. ;)

[Sarah051504]

you know what, they also had the I can't Believe It's Not Butter Spread and the rugular stuff not the light or fat free. I noticed this cause I have it in my fridge and was suprised the put the regular stuff in there.

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

I could not believe the final results! The parents looked so good. I couldn't believe how fit and toned the blonde mother was! Did you see all those muscles in her legs and how flat her stomach is. I was almost in tears I was so proud of them. I thought it was cute how the mom commented that they looked like they were in fat suits when they were looking back at the beginning. You could see the shock in their faces.
And the other father was so adorable! I loved that he started a walking club at work. They were all just so commited. I just kept looking at their determination and thinking I can't even get myself to walk for 1/2 an hour at lunch! It makes me want to get my butt in gear.

[udsweetpea]

The young girl on the Red Team said she works out 2.5-3 hours every morning! If that's what it takes, I might start doing that!

[maplekitty]

wow, those families last night did awesome! I really like this new concept, keeps you wanting to go back every week to watch. Instead of seeing people fighting and some getting kicked off for not loosing more than 10 lbs a week, you get to see a whole family work hard at home and all come out winners in the end.

[bethnjim]

I love the I Can't Believe its not butter spray. Yummy when put on toast!

[jimmysgirl424]

I love the I Can't Believe its not butter spray. Yummy when put on toast!

Also excellent for corn-on-the-cob...melts right away. :)

Just watched the show over the weekend; I absolutely loved it and could not believe how great both of the families looked at the end. The show is so inspirational and motivating to me! I want to lose 15-20 pounds for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas and watching these people do it made me realize I can too. Oh...and I constantly have that theme song from the show playing in my head now; "What have you done today to make you feel proud??...."
I'm such a dork.:o :p

[udsweetpea]

I just got myself so excited. I thought The Biggest Loser was on last night and thought I missed it because of work. So, I get on the computer and get on the NBC site to see if they would show pictures from last night's episode. And what do I see? TONIGHT on The Biggest Loser... YAY! I'm losing my memory so terribly, I forgot the show comes on Wednesdays!

I think that's understandable, udsweetpea...it was on Tuesday nights for two seasons!! Glad you didn't miss it...I'm so looking forward to tonight's episode. :D

Ok, now I know I'm not going crazy.

In the NBC schedule, it says this is "Part 1" so I'm guessing next week will be "Part 2" of the engaged couples???

[southerner]

you got it!

[jesseybell]

I finally watched the show over the weekend. I really liked the format of the show...until I found out that last week was the only week they are going to show the 2 hours together. Checking tvguide I saw the Part I this week and Part II next week. Unfortunately I don't think I will be sticking around. I hate 'to be continued'. It just looses something (no pun intended) in translation....and anyways, Wednesdays are for Lost and I don't see Tivoing the Biggest Looser 2 weeks in a row and then not watching it until after the 2nd one airs.

[jimmysgirl424]

Last night's episode was good! I too wish that they could have just done another two hour episode instead of making us wait till next week. Anyway, I got all teary-eyed several times throughout the show..especially during the weigh-ins! I can't believe how much weight Steve and Sarah lost in just two weeks! Amazing!

This show continues to keep me motivated to keep up my diet and exercise routine. I love it. :)

[udsweetpea]

I can't believe how much weight Steve and Sarah lost in just two weeks! Amazing!

This show continues to keep me motivated to keep up my diet and exercise routine. I love it. :)

I agree! You can tell how much Steve and Sarah really love each other and really want this. Rasha seems like she's been given everything she's ever wanted and seems like a poor sport. Go Red Team!

This show definitely keeps me motivated. I chose this show over Lost last night, and I never thought I would!

[jimmysgirl424]

Does anyone happen to know the name of the theme song for the show and who sings it? I swear, that song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, plus it's been another motivating factor in me getting my butt to the gym. (I have hit my community gym five days straight now and plan on going on again tonight) :D

I'm pretty sure it's "Proud" by Heather Small

[southerner]

I liked the show last night. I want Sarah and Steve to win, but they did already win a honeymoon and $5k. I cried when he proposed, as well as many other points in the show.

Jillian's a little too much for me. I like Bob much better.

[tbell]

I cried all the way through this show! When he proposed, when they initially weighed, at the final weigh in. Geez, I'm such a sap.

I can't believe how much the teams lost! I don't think I could work with Jillian--I don't take well to being yelled at. But then again, her team lost the most.

Good for you, Jimmy'sgirl!!!! :D

[udsweetpea]

I don't think I could work with Jillian--I don't take well to being yelled at. But then again, her team lost the most.


I was thinking the same thing, but her teams always win. She must be doing something right.

[jimmysgirl424]

Not real fond of Jillian's style myself, but if she was my personal trainer, I would take whatever she dished out in the hopes that I would end up with a body like the one she has! :D

[Sazoo]

Count me in on the "not fond of Jillian's style" thing! :rolleyes: I was upset about the whole scene with her yelling at Sarah not to hold on when she was struggling & freaking out on the treadmill - I think I would have had a meltdown if I'd been in her shoes & had Jillian bitching at me like that, too! :eek: However you're right that her teams do usually do well, so I guess it works for some people. Bob's training style is *much* more to my liking, though. ;)

[southerner]

who do y'all want to win tonight?

I'm pulling for Sara and Steve.

[jimmysgirl424]

Another vote for Sara and Steve here. On last week's show, she said something that made me cry when I heard it:

"I love life. I just want to love myself".

That killed me.

[udsweetpea]

Another vote for Sara and Steve. The other girl just seems spoiled and is a bad sport.

[southerner]

They looked really good, all of them. That's cool BL gave them all that equipment. Am I the only one that didn't think Kelly looked all that great :confused:

The families that own a restaurant should be interesting next week.

[udsweetpea]

Remind me... who's Kelly?

[southerner]

Remind me... who's Kelly?

The contestant from Season One that they had come visit Sara and Steve at the gym.

[Sazoo]

I just watched the finale over the weekend. I was glad that Steve & Sarah won the big 50K wedding. :)

I was surprised, though, at the feast their families prepared for their homecoming after they left the ranch. :eek: Why on earth would you prepare a big buffet full of rich foods to welcome your children home from the first part of a major weightloss effort?!? :rolleyes: I'm glad they showed restraint & stuck to the few items that were healthy, but still.

[tbell]

I liked Steve and Sarah in the first episode but I thought Sarah had kind of a nasty attitude towards Rasha in the 2nd show. I'm happy for S/S, but I wish Sarah had been a little nicer about it.

Now see, I thought the exact opposite! I thought Rasha had the nasty attitude. They put the camera on her face several times during Sara and Steve's weigh-in, and when she realized that they had been beat, she had a nasty, pouty look on her face that she quickly tried to change into a smile when she realized the camera was on her. I thought she acted like a spoiled brat through the whole thing.

I agree, Southerner. Wasn't impressed at all with Kelly. She actually looked like she had gained some weight back since her show aired. And she needs some major work on her triceps, they were sagging all over the place.

I don't think any amount of tricep work is going to get rid of that. She probably has great muscle tone there, but the skin was just too stretched. I think she needs to get the skin removed.

My brother had lost 120 pounds and he had a lot of really loose skin around his stomach and legs and ended up getting the stuff from his stomach taken off. Luckily for him, because of his extreme weight loss, it was covered by his medical plan.

[southerner]

I didn't watch the family owning restaurants episode this week. It doesn't seem like I missed much though ;)

[Sare79]

I watched this week and I really felt for the teenage girls on the show. I had the same problem when I was a teenager- just could not find the cute clothes, so adopted some pretty weird fashion trends.
I have to say I am rooting for the diner family- the other one reminds me too much of my extended family- all the arguing and negative reinforcement. Damn Italians! (I'll probably get slammed for that, but I am Italian:rolleyes: )

I did like the teenage girl from the Italian family. She seem really sweet.

[tbell]

I'm rooting for the diner family too. I like their family dynamic a little better than the other family. From the previews, the Italian man (Robby?) loses a TON of weight!!!

I felt so bad for Emily from the diner family. It sucks to be overweight in high school.

[jimmysgirl424]

I was overweight all through elementary and junior high school; so I totally felt for Emily and the other teenage girl from the Italian family. Kids are just so damn mean and cruel to anyone who doesn't fit the social norm. I hope that both girls succeed in losing the weight and get to go shopping for all of the cute little teeny-bopper outfits after the show's over.


Looking forward to seeing which family wins; but I really think it will end up being the diner family. :D

[LynzeyAHL]

would have been nice if they would have said the blue teams totals tonight - BOOOO

[Sare79]

would have been nice if they would have said the blue teams totals tonight - BOOOO


-242!!!

Because Emily only had to lose 10 to get to the -188, and she lost 64. But I don't know the percentage.

[maplekitty]

I wasn't expecting the Blue team to loose that much weight, they didnt *look* that dramatically smaller. But I guess its not comparable to the other family team from a few episodes ago - where they all *looked* skinny.


Red team didn't impress me at all, they didnt seem very proud of each other, or very affectionate.

[tbell]

Ugh, what a bunch of ingrates. I can't believe that two of the people on the red team only lost about 25 lbs. I know numbers aren't everything, but they have what, 5 or 6 months to work out and eat right, plus they're given everything they need!? Jillian (who I don't even like) tries to give Alexa healthy eating tips, and she argues with her? Way to waste a great opportunity.

The mom and older daughter on the blue team were disappointing to me, too. THey lost more than I thought they'd lose, but had terrible attitudes IMO. I'm very disappointed in both families.

[udsweetpea]

Don't forget its the 2-hour special tonight and comes on an hour early!

[jimmysgirl424]

Don't forget its the 2-hour special tonight and comes on an hour early!


DVR already set up to record! I'm so excited that I finally got a dual-tuner DVR so I can record two shows on two different channels at once! Just in time for tonight's American Idol and Biggest Loser match-up!! :D

[Sazoo]

Don't forget its the 2-hour special tonight and comes on an hour early!
OOOH! Thanks for the heads-up - I'll have to make sure my TiVo records it for me! ;)

[southerner]

did anyone else hear that Matt and Suzy got engaged today? cool!

[ausi2b]

Wow - where did you hear that?

[Sazoo]

OMG, really? How awsome is that?!?!? :D

[melnv]

He proposed on the today show according to an article I just read.

eta a link http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1177333,00.html

[Sazoo]

Aww, how sweet!

[mlfallis]

Aww, how sweet!

I second that :)

[luvalwaysMandy]

Good for them!

[Rose]

That's wonderful! I hope they will be very happy.

[GoCougs]

I saw Suzy in the airport down in California two weeks ago, and she is the most adorable thing I've ever seen! Congrats to the two of them!

thanks sarah! I wish I could have seen it. That's great! I'd tune in if they did their wedding on TV. They aren't Romberish though ;)

[tbell]

OMG, I am so excited for them. You would think I knew them personally or something!:rolleyes:

[udsweetpea]

OMG! Thanks so much for sharing those pictures! They are too cute for words!

[jimmysgirl424]

Yaaaayyyyyyy!!!! :D :D :D

What a perfect couple they are!

[udsweetpea]

Does anyone know when the new season starts?

[jimmysgirl424]

I checked NBC's website and also googled it. The only thing they are saying is that season 3 will premier sometime in the fall. That's helpful. :rolleyes:

[udsweetpea]

That stinks! I could really use the motivation now :(

[Nanner]

I didn't see a thread for the new season yet, so I thought I'd just post here.

Season 3 is starting on Sept. 20th! Everybody ready?

Changes I've heard about:

a) Jillian is gone, with a new blonde woman trainer in her place. Kind of makes me sad. Jillian was a hard ass, but still a softy when it came to personal issues. I liked her a lot. Anybody know why she's not returning? Was it her choice, or the producers?

b) The cast members--they have one person from each of the 50 states. Makes for a huge cast! I'm guessing they will have some sort of massive elimination toward the beginning. Anybody have details on this?

[nuhmah]

I just found this over at FORT

I started a Season Three thread, (http://www.constantchatter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22954) but I guess we could just use this one. Or should we use the new one?

I wonder if Suzy and Matt have gotten married yet.

Huh, that's strange. I did a search, and it didn't come up. I thought I'd remembered one existing, but then I couldn't find it. It only makes sense to use the new thread! How do we get this one closed?
