Women on Biggest Loser???

[KarenG. 0]

Is it getting anyone else down how the women are completely being eliminated on BL? I almost don't want to watch anymore - every week another woman. Soon it will be all of those silly men (not that I don't love men and all - just would like to see a woman win for once!).

I love BL and I have to say, I am sick of Kelly always being so paranoid and whiney. But, love Ali. It's a bummer that there are always men winners, but how can they compete with the higher weights and the rate at which men lose weight? I am wondering if at some point they will have BL Man and BL Woman? That might be fun. I love that show and it inspires me every week!! I even signed up for Jillians workouts and they are good!

I am watching it now. It doesn't seem fair. The women don't have a chance. The men are all at our around 100# lost and the women are around 50-60#. They should split them up.

I agree about them needing to do a biggest loser women's and biggest loser men's. It totally is unfair that they are competing with unlevel playing fields. I wonder why the producer's haven't decided to do that? Isn't it obvious.

By the way - I agree about Kelly but I really don't like Mark and Jay - particularly Mark. Also Dan is getting so arrogant. It is nice to see him have better confidence with his weight loss but still he is getting a bit annoying.

I have been wondering when somebody would bring this up. There definitely needs to be a BL just for women.

How do you sign up for Jillian's work outs? Do you have to pay for them?

There was a thread on here about Jillians workouts, I remember it wasn't much. I am sad to say I dont know I would do it all without her standing over me!

The men get on my NERVES! Esp Jay and Mark! All they ever do is CRY. I HATE when men cry. Babies. They should have been eliminated in the very begining...

And I'm sooo pissed that Brittany was sent home! She's been my fave since day one! Her and Bernie were my picks. Ugh.

[TulipStar 2]

Yeah, I love Brittany and Bernie too...stranger who had no one on the show. Dammit! Women just don't lose weight as fast as men...

Hey! Nice to hear this conversation...something different. Don't you think Mark is so emotional now because he IS dealing with his weight...and his fat just covered up his emotions (is that the therapist in me coming out?) HAHAHA. Yeah, he bugs the crap out of me, too!

Yes you pay for Jillian's workout. It's $52 for 3 months, but you can cancel after 5 weeks and get a refund. I like it. However, I will say this (In my opinion)...I have workout out for 4 years steadily and have had two trainers. I felt it was time for me to wean off and try it on my own. I have the motivation to work out 5-6 days a week and to push it. SO, in that regard, her plan is doable for me. I could see someone not at that point yet of going...yeah, not so much doing this part now! HAHA. I think it's a good workout.

If you have more specific questions, you can PM me or send an email to rharriet@gmail.com. My name is Rose.

I am soooo tired of the men! I really don't like any of them. If a guy has to win, I hope it's Dan. I've never liked Mark and Jay, but there is just something about Roger I don't like. I can't quite put my finger on it yet though. Brittany was my favorite too and I hated to see her go. Now I hope Ali wins, but it's highly unlikely since she doesn't have as much to lose now. But, she does pull good numbers, so who knows. I think these men are just plain stupid. How stupid are they to vote off Brittany, when Jay is a bigger threat? Them and their P.R.I.D.E makes me want to puke! I still can't figure out why Ali voted for Brittany, maybe to form an alliance?

I keep thinking about the comment that Mark said to Alison in the beginning about being soooo dramatic, but all he does is sob. His brother too! I don't mind when men tear up a little, but c'mon.......it's just plain ridiculous!

[Oregondaisy 2,019]

Brittany has been my favorite all along. She has really had a hard time. I feel for her because I know she works just as hard as everyone else. It's just not fair that the scale doesn't co-operate for her.

[mumof2boys 71]

Poor Brit. I know that Jillian was baffled with Britt's numbers on the scales. She couldn't figure out why she wasn't pulling some good numbers. She really was my favorite. I hope that she comes to the finale and makes everyones jaw drop. OK...I cannot stand Dan. He gets on my nerves so bad. Someone needs to let him know that he's not all that. Now...Roger really ticked me off last night when he was talking to Kelly about her vote. What did it matter? They already had the majority of the vote, so why did he have to be so rude to her? I guess I'm rooting for Ali now. Kelly is alright, but she wines too much. I'm sure that one of the guys are going to win, I just hope it's not Dan or Mark.

I think it's interesting that the guys are voting the girls off. If I was one of those guys, I'd want to be in the final 4 with 3 girls so I could WIN.

I said in the other BL thread, they need to either have girl/guy only shows, OR they need to find smaller men. It's not fair to have a guy with 250lbs to lose against a girl with 80lbs to lose. It's questionable if it's even fair to have them both with the SAME to lose. Our bodies just work differently.

And I agree on Kelly, she's been driving me nuts for over a month. Quit whining already!!!! SO glad they straightened her hair, though, she looked FANTASTIC.

[plain 12]

So, I don't watch BL very often, but I thought they picked the winner on the basis of percentage of weight lost? If they are going by pounds lost only......yeah, the women can't possibly hope to compete pound -for - pound.

[Angie4b1g 1]

They do go by percentage.

But a 350lb guy loses 150lbs, that's 42.8% weight loss.

A 230lb woman loses 70lbs that's 30.4%.

And they are both at goal.

Fair? The woman can't win.
