yes - i have an addiction to the show & can't wait for the season premier tonight.

was at the gym this morning (24hr fitness) and they had new posters of michelle up - she LOOKS GREAT!!!

great time of yr for a new season...

I catch it off and on depending on which day of the week they play it or what else I am addicted to TV-wise during that time slot. :tt1:

I DID catch the season finale and saw Michelle win. What a gorgeous woman, no matter her weight. I thought she was gorgeous when she was fat, and she is certainly gorgeous now. I hope she can stick to it since not all can.

I will try to catch this season to help motivate me.

Btw, I bought some of The Biggest Loser's workout dvd's -- anybody else get them or use them? I haven't cracked them open yet so I don't know what to expect. Ten hours' worth of Nazi-style workouts? Hope not... :wub: :thumbup:

Well sheesh! I type up this huge post and it doesn't work - ugh! I hate it when that happens!

Anyway, I'm excited to see how the largest contestant ever pans out. He seems very determined but he does have a lot of weight to lose and can be seen as a threat to the other contestants...

Woohoo!! Can't wait!

cant wait for tonight... i almost forgot about it. thanks Lulu!

I can't wait, either! I have the front page of last week's US magazine on my fridge. :thumbup: Michelle looks great, and so does Ali, still! I'm so impressed.

I can't wait to see tonight's show, and assess (sp?) the players. I really am hoping there isn't any drama like Vicky from last season. As much as I love to hate, I'm hoping for inspiration this time.

okay guys, it's on.

That poor young boy... 457 pounds! Bless his heart.

That is sad and to be so young. I wish the best for him.

Ok, so I don't really watch TBL, but it's on now and I'm watching the "race" thing that they're doing. I don't mean to offend all you fans, but this show seems a little.....exploitative. Still I watch, though....

Exploitative in the sense that American Idol is exploitative in the beginning when they are making fun of those horrible caterwaulers? :thumbup:

Yeah, it is somewhat exploitative, but they at least give these people something to strive towards and you can see the progress as the show goes on. I guess htey could start them out by having them weightlift creme puffs, but what fun would that be?

Yeah, the difference is that I don't identify very closely with singers.

Oh, something tells me you could identify with THOSE singers. :thumbup:

I love this show, however, I do seem to be a reality show junkie! Such inspiration. I too disliked the manipulator, Vicky last season. I enjoy watching the progress throughout the season tho.

True. My singing is legendary. Not in the good way. Anybody catch that one of the dudes had a gastric bypass? The doc pointed it out when they were reviewing a MRI / CAT scan.

I Love the Biggest loser it make me want to go work out. :thumbup: You know that it can be done and that give some of us hope.

I heard it mentioned earlier in the show, maybe when they were introducing everybody. He had an RNY, I believe. That is why for me, personally, I am against that type of WLS. Too many people re-gain with those types.
