Wow, I agree with everything in this article. What pissed me off the most was how Filipe tried to get off the hook for eating junk food by making Jillian out to be the bad guy.

Also, Ron has to go home. If the blue team was smart, they’d notice that he’s the main reason to why they keep losing, and yet he is the one who ultimatly decided that Mandi was going home.

Let me finish my rant by saying that I have never seen this show until this season, but Bob is a little bi*ch. He needs to realize that the show isn’t about him, and that he is not supirior to Jullian and that he cannot train someone from the oposing team just because he likes them.

I like the host though, she seems down to earth.

I totally agree with everything you said! I like Ron as a person, but gimme a break. Why is it just “Mandi’s time to go”? They will lose and lose hard for the rest of the season. I loved Filipe until last night. Man up and take advantage of the different training styles of both Bob and Jillian — you are lucky, dude. I COULD NOT BELIEVE the choices they made for food and drink. Ever hear of sharing? They went totally over the edge, not just part way.

I love this show so much but its getting crazier every week. I agree that bob should have sent them back and talk it out with Jillion. He over reacted and cried like a big baby and from the beginner i really wanted the cousins to win this. not really sure now.Bob has been really different this season.Whats going on?And Mandi.She was an awsome player.I really liked her.I really hated seeing her go.And its time for Ron to go.Mike will do fine without him.last night really kept you on ur toes.never knew what was going to happen.

OMG You summed up everything I was thinking. I wish Jullian had gone over there and just bitch slapped those three guys. And I have always voted for the black team but after their activites I was hoping they would lose. I could see mybe going over board with the eating a little but to drink and drink. They were still playing a game and knew they had to weigh in this week

Whew! My wife and I ran the gambit of emotions too. Is it me or did Felipe leave out or change most of what happened with Jillian? Sure she didn’t work him out. Ok, weird… but in a gym in the real world a trainer is not working you EVERY time you are in the gym. You have to push yourself & know when you need help. How would Bob have reacted if Felipe had told him, “we drank like lushes, ate like slobs and partied all night with NO daily workout…” Think Bob would have embraced him at all?

As for Ron. He’s such a great fatherly figure for that team. The great wisdom he imparted to his team last week was to get rid of their strongest player.?! WHAT? This week, their second strongest player… HUH? We all know that he needs the personal training that can only be found on the BL campus, because it doesn’t exist in the real world outside of seeing a psychical therapist. Ultimately it is a game. He should not be competing, he should know it is time for him to pack his bags. Instead he’s being a selfish ass.

And, why was Kathy the one that that was in discussion to go home instead of Mandy? Ugh. Bob is the worst Zen master I can this of. I’m ranting… BLECH!

I really hated/loved this episode. First, Filipe was definitely being a baby. I get the feeling that the trainers don’t train each person one on one everyday. How could they? Jillian has six members on her team and she probably spends about an hour one on one with each person, plus she spends a lot of time training them as a group, so some are bound to be left out during the day. If Filipe wanted to be trained so badly, he should have just asked Jillian for help. Ultimately though, I blame Bob for all this. He really did undermined Jillian’s authority by crying like a school girl after the teams where switched up. Last season, Jillian called the blue team “the cult of Bob” and that really applies this season.

Now on to Ron. How much do I hate this guy? I understand that he has a lot of weight he has to loss, however, he’s only losing 5 to 6 pounds a week. He seriously can’t do that at home??? I’m glad he’s on the blue team, so they can keep losing and sparing the black team. If the black team ever loses a weigh in, “the cult of Bob” mentality will take over and Tara will be the first to go. Tara and Jillian are the only ones I’m rooting for.

Okay, I only have a minute here but what is with Bob turning into such a girl this season? He has repeatedly let his emotions determine his choices, even though I know this is a very emotional show.

Also, Filipe didn’t seem to mind when Bob was ripping that girl (how quickly the names leave me) a new one when she wouldn’t work out earlier in the season. He only seems to mind when HE gets called out on his mistakes.

My favorite line: Jillian, “Fine, run to daddy. What do I care?”

YAY I’m so glad you posted this. I am all kinds of worked up about this episode. My emotions ran the gamut from irritated to vociferously irritated to frickin gobsmacked. Ron makes me crazy. You are absolutely right; it’s how he said (in that sad “what a shame” shake-of-the-head way) “It’s Mandi’s time to go home,” like it was a foregone conclusion, like something a parent would say about a beloved guinea pig that’s about to kick the bucket. He said it like “I wish this didn’t have to be the way, but we just have to accept it, circle of life” when he was making the CHOICE to send her home to save himself! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT RON.

And Filipe. Dude. Filipe. Yes, it’s weird that Jillian didn’t work him out individually. Yes, the contestants are vulnerable and need support. But dude! Passive-aggressive much? If you want help, ask for it. Maybe you feel like you shouldn’t have to, but just man up and hash it out with her, don’t stuff a storeload of rage into your pocket so you can whip it out as an excuse after you get busted for downing seven mai tais and a double scoop of mashed potatoes or whatever. Dude.

Pete (husband/BL watching partner) was like, “The producers told Bob to let Sione and Filipe work out with him,” which yeah, that prolongs the tension/fissure, but he absolutely should have said no, they need to work out their issues with Jillian right now. It’s like you said in the podcast about the Hysterical Bob Meltdown of ‘09, HE is the one making it worse. Bob, I love you with your tats and your yoga and your Extra gum, but man alive. Get a grip.

So yeah, obviously I had some things to get off my chest about The Biggest Loser. Thanks again for posting about it.

I haven’t even watched it yet and I am pissed off. And yes Bob is out of control this season. I have heard on good authority that Bob and Jillian HATE each other in real life and take it all very seriously. Also, I feel that the majority of the people who were sent back home only to be brought back, really don’t want to be at the ranch as much as the originals.
