DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: May 13, 2013 6:28:11 PM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse Renewed for the fall only and moving back to Tuesdays. Great news is it is only listed as a one hour program. They can get rid of all the extra filler.

HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,715 Points:1,618,705 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Feb 10, 2013 7:31:17 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse I haven't watched it the last 2 weeks & really don't miss it.
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Feb 10, 2013 7:31:22 AM Ignore masonco Report Abuse I agree it should be singles right from the start. With all three trainers taking turns with each "group" only then will the participants learn what works for them. Have you noticed there are no advertisements to try out for the next series?

HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,715 Points:1,618,705 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Jan 30, 2013 6:30:38 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse Way too many commercials & too many product placements. This thing with the kids became very boring very quickly. Three teams is too many, stick with two. WAY TOO MUCH drama at weigh-ins & way too much fat (pun intended) in production. This needs to be 60 minutes. I too think this is the last hurrah. [Edited by: HOTSKEL at 1/30/2013 6:32:41 PM EST]

Too much fluff. I usually FF most of it and watch the weigh in and part of the reward challenges.

SheetzzzRulezzz Veteran Author Pennsylvania Posts:271 Points:56,555 Joined:Dec 2012	Message Posted: Jan 7, 2013 8:36:47 PM Ignore SheetzzzRulezzz Report Abuse Use to love this show now it's boring & predictable. Suffered thru all 2 hours last night. Same old thing. Newbies at first workout pass out, throw up get an earful from Jillian. At weigh in the producers create so much drama with the loud music & cliff hanger leading into a break so they keep you waiting for the person weight. This show needs to be an hour. One good thing last night is I didn't see any Subway placement or commercials for those terrible sandwiches.

SheetzzzRulezzz Veteran Author Pennsylvania Posts:271 Points:56,555 Joined:Dec 2012	Message Posted: Dec 27, 2012 11:38:17 PM Ignore SheetzzzRulezzz Report Abuse It such a waste of 2 hours. Why can't they edit it to just one hour?

DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: Dec 22, 2012 3:29:16 AM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse The Biggest Loser will also air on Monday, Jan 7th as part of the 2 night debut. They will have 3 children on the show this year who will work out both at the ranch and at home. They can't be voted off and aren't in it for the money, but to try to get healthy. I believe I read there are 20 adults too. [Edited by: DRIVESFAST at 12/22/2012 3:31:03 AM EST]

masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Dec 2, 2012 6:27:22 AM Ignore masonco Report Abuse Yes it does look like it will be on Monday nights. Jillian will be working with kids during the show. I found several links on this page, but this computer will not play videos. You have to scroll down to get to the season 14 links. There was one written article when I clicked on Jillians picture to see more season 14
DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: Dec 2, 2012 3:23:24 AM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse I've already seen previews. I have also heard dates of New Years Day and Sunday, January 6th. I do believe it will air on a Monday although it used to be on Tuesdays.
HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,715 Points:1,618,705 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Dec 1, 2012 9:18:03 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse I'm so glad they skipped a season especially after that terrible last season. At least Jillian is back which should make it more entertaining. I hope they wise up & edit it to 1 hour.
DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: Dec 1, 2012 3:55:39 AM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse I believe the return date is Monday, January 7th.
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 18, 2012 9:28:23 PM Ignore masonco Report Abuse Being as I am from Michigan, all I hear from the Grand Rapids news is "Jeremy and Conda on to talk about weight loss" Come one folks enough already. They won't keep it off once the hoopla is over.
PurplepassionNC All-Star Author North Carolina Posts:838 Points:157,310 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: May 18, 2012 5:14:05 PM Ignore PurplepassionNC Report Abuse I agree with you totally Masonco about Jeremy and Conda. Was not happy to see Jeremy and Conda in the final 3. True instigators. I was motivated to exercise more and eat less. If Jeremy at 400 pounds can lose 200 pounds in 8 months surely I can lose 5 pounds a month. I was motivated to move more and eat less watching this show this season....
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 15, 2012 6:47:37 AM Ignore masonco Report Abuse I wonder if it had anything to do with the boycott? They have to be more careful who they let on, motives and maybe change things so there is a red line every week or no one goes home during the show. I heard rumblings about the fact Mike who was sent home the first week lost more than most of those in the final episodes. Plus I wonder if there are legal issues to iron out after Buddy & Mark left.
DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: May 14, 2012 9:31:48 PM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse INTERESTING news about this series. It WAS renewed, but it will NOT return until 2013 (only one season next time instead of the usual two). I guess this crappy season left a very bad taste in the viewers mouths and they figured the long layoff would help.
HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,715 Points:1,618,705 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: May 8, 2012 7:16:59 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse I've watched every episode, every season & this was absolutely by far the worst season ever. Except for a couple of contestants the weight loss at the finale was a joke. Some of those women are still way overweight.
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 7, 2012 6:21:47 AM Ignore masonco Report Abuse Personally I did not see it as motivating but almost entirely game play. I don't remember a season where they lost so little weight as a group. (% wise). Also Jeremy should have been excluded from the finale. I still feel Jeremy & Conda began the uproar in order to guarantee themselves as finalists. Wish Buddy had not fallen for their trick and left.
PurplepassionNC All-Star Author North Carolina Posts:838 Points:157,310 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: May 7, 2012 12:00:01 AM Ignore PurplepassionNC Report Abuse What a great and exciting season. Definitely very motivating

masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 2, 2012 6:10:23 AM Ignore masonco Report Abuse I knew Jeremy was holding off on his weight loss until the final push. Sure wish it would have backfired completely. Mike would have won then. They did not let Buddy or Mark come back did they? Do they have to reimburse Biggest loser now?
DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: May 2, 2012 4:17:12 AM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse Yep, the manipulator (or very smart game player) won. I fast forwarded the final three weigh-in. At least his annoying evil sister didn't win. Kim looked good.
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Apr 26, 2012 7:13:01 AM Ignore masonco Report Abuse I think Jeremy will win due to his manipulation. He will have this "miraculous" weight loss once he gets home and pounds will rapidly drop. He should have lost a lot more when on the ranch and I think it was game play to guarantee winning. Don't they get that the finale is based on total weight and body fat loss not just what they lost while at home? Kim does not have that much more to lose, but then again it is based on overall body fat loss so she doesn't have as much to lose in poundage.
PurplepassionNC All-Star Author North Carolina Posts:838 Points:157,310 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: Apr 25, 2012 7:58:57 PM Ignore PurplepassionNC Report Abuse Kim is such a nice person I am so happy for her. She has come a long way. Very motivating to anyone trying to lose weight. ME. Please don't let Conda win. Terrible attitude!
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Apr 19, 2012 7:20:33 AM Ignore masonco Report Abuse I still think that Jeremy plans on winning that spot. He's strong and has quite a bit of weight to lose. So basically he has the best chance of winning the at home finalist. If conda had gone below the red line there was no way she had a chance to win the extra spot.
PurplepassionNC All-Star Author North Carolina Posts:838 Points:157,310 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: Apr 19, 2012 1:23:41 AM Ignore PurplepassionNC Report Abuse Very happy that Kim won the car. She is a nice person. It would be nice to see one of the person that Conda sent home to be the winner. What goes around comes around Conda.
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Apr 18, 2012 6:16:57 AM Ignore masonco Report Abuse I really think that Buddy and Mark expected the show to back down and let them have their way. I think Jeremy did not expect Kim to lose that much weight. He expected that it would have been just him and Conda in the end. I think Jeremy was planning on losing all the weight to win biggest loser. He still might though since he gets to play in the final. He also knew he has a better chance of winning that extra spot than Conda. Of the two, I don't expect either one to win. I believe it will be one of the ones Conda sent home because she was afraid of competition. Face it, the ones sent home are the ones who really lost weight. Kim does not have much more to lose, Conda will be sidetracked at home. The ones she instigated and sent home have a real reason to beat her.
DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: Apr 18, 2012 3:43:29 AM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse The contestants that walked off last nights show should NEVER be allowed back and should have forfeited any chance at winning. Seems like Jeremy intentionally blew his weigh in to help his spoiled brat sister again. This show is most likely safe for renewal because it is cheap to produce, but if next season has a bunch of idiot, mean spirited contestants like this season then I will be through with the show. I still fast forwarded most of the hour. Don't like any of the contestants left except for Kim (a little). Glad she won the car. [Edited by: DRIVESFAST at 4/18/2012 3:47:20 AM EST]
PurplepassionNC All-Star Author North Carolina Posts:838 Points:157,310 Joined:Mar 2012	Message Posted: Apr 18, 2012 1:37:26 AM Ignore PurplepassionNC Report Abuse Conda is a spoiled brat. This show tonight is really sad. After working so hard and so long and walking off the show just isn't right. This show really motivated me to look at my weight. And it got me to stop being a binge eater. I wish the best to the contestants that walked off the show tonight.
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Apr 7, 2012 2:49:26 PM Ignore masonco Report Abuse Of all the to do a "to be continued". Do you think they cut it down because there was that boycott against bringing people back? (Remember Conda led the revolt to guarantee she will win?) Have you noticed how they have started bringing favorites that were sent home and giving them jobs at one of their locations or as PR people? I noticed some big winners are never heard from again or return. So I wonder if Conda does win big do you think they will use her for PR? On the other hand, I doubt she will keep the weight off once it is over.
DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: Apr 7, 2012 4:33:27 AM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse They turned a regular 2 hour show into two weeks worth of 1 hour shows. For at least the next 2 weeks the episodes are also one hour long. This show should always be one hour long.

DRIVESFAST Champion Author San Bernardino Posts:17,785 Points:3,307,700 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: Feb 24, 2012 3:34:08 AM Ignore DRIVESFAST Report Abuse I would love to see a complete season where it was individuals from the start with either a yellow line with the two lowest percentage losers facing elimination or a red line with the worst player automatically getting eliminated. They also need to change the rules to where if you throw a weigh in you go home.
HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,715 Points:1,618,705 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Feb 23, 2012 7:56:46 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse Thank God Daphne is gone. Her brother were clueless & painful to watch & stupid as well. If there was a list of things not to do for a contestant reentering the game after 1 month they would get the award for doing every one of them. I'm still sick of the way they find product placement for Subway. I know it's one of their biggest sponsors but the way they work it into the show is a total sellout of the trainers. First off their food is not fresh & sucks but beyond that do the trainers actually believe that feeding obese people high sodium lunch meat is healthy?
masonco Champion Author Michigan Posts:12,410 Points:1,828,940 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Feb 23, 2012 4:33:29 PM Ignore masonco Report Abuse Conda ruins it for everyone, but then she's only in it for the game. I see her like the guy that gained all his weight back after he won one of the first seasons. I think Daphene did the right thing. The drama will continue and they won't be able to blame here. Bob will have his say with Conda when he catches her stirring things up. It sure is like a junior high cat fight there. Bob's team will be picked off one by one now
