So, 'tis that time again...

Will there be a Tara Machine this time? A Ronfather? A super-surprise winner? Can Bob -finally- win a season (no!)

The Biggest Loser returns Sept 15, let the rooting and snarking begin :thumbdown:

The Biggest Loser - NBC Site

Place your bets...

Well... when Alexandra was kicked off, they did the "look at her now". She said something about having a crush on someone (apparently on the show) and that she was too shy to say anything. She then said to wait and find out who it was.

I just caught the last 15 minutes of the show, but I thought Alexandra looked great with her 60 lb weight loss. Yay for her, and I'm glad she's has more confidence in herself.

So glad it is back on - I feel more motivated watching it - I think the love connection was Dan - did you notice how upset he was that people were voting her to go home?

I watched the show today, over the seasons I have caught a show or 2 perhaps, but to tell you the truth I didn't ever get into watching it. It made me squirm. so unhappy and uncomfortable with myself didn't want it in my face , now I must say I am inspired by watching it and will stick with it this season.

I did notice, and I felt bad for him. He is such a sweet, likable person. I also suspected he may be the "crush".

i thought it was him too. aren't the rest of them married?

my hubby said he was hungry, but couldn't go get something to eat when they were on there busting thier buts! LOL

What a tear jerker last night. Abby touched my heart, Shay also did.

I agree, I think Dan is the "crush". How cute would they be together! Who needs the Bachelor when you have the Biggest Loser! lol.

I was kinda excited, there are two players from Oklahoma, Danny is from Broken Arrow (suberb of Tulsa) and Sean the youth pastor is from Tulsa - where I live. I have heard Oklahoma is one of the fattest states, I believe it. I just look around and everyone is overweight, its all the down home cooking they do around here.

Anyhow, thought it was a great show, but got tired of the F bomb being dropped too much. But besides that, I think this is going to be a good season.

Who is everyone's pick? Anyone have one yet? Still too soon for me to pick, but so far I like Abby. I guess I can relate to her being a mother, and I feel for her losing her entire family. I also am partial to Dan, he's an inspiration.

I was sobbing like a baby! :sad: So far my fave is Abby because of her attitude. She is obviously still suffering, though, and I'm not sure she doesn't need other type of help. Maybe this will be good for her, but I'm hoping it doesn't break her. I'd crack like a nut if that happened to my family. My heart really aches for her....

I still love Dan, though, too!

I stayed in Broken Arrow for a week as a kid and went horse back riding and went to the church of Christ there Lyle M was the preacher at the time a friend of our family. They had a one room school house there at the time population was only a few hundred

No picks yet for me. Frankly I never really care about the backstory, and so the sobbing doesn't win me over. I want to see how they act -On The Ranch-

That's all. Do they want it enough to get over themselves and kick their own rear? Tens of thousands of other people would gladly be where they are; will the contestants realize just what a gift they've been given?

I suspect this is why I never cared for Bob, and like Jillian's methods better.

At least this season we don't have to worry about blood ties messing up the game strategy.

I couldn't even make it past the opening introductions without crying - but that's just me.

Love the show - excited!

Did notice the increase in cussing - I was cracking up that the censors apparently no longer have an issue with the word bitch - i was like wow - don't think I remember hearing that on the show before.

Thank y'all for letting me in on the love crush might be Dan. I was thinking that they were all married but I was forgetting about Dan.

HAHA you sound like my husband, I was crying when the lady who lost her family told her story, and my hubby was looking at me like I'm nuts. (ok I am) hehehehhe

I haven't made any picks yet either.

Agreed! I don't have favorites either. It's a wait and see game for me.

yes, I am glad they aren't family teams.

I finally got to watch it tonight, I refused to read this thread until I was caught up! Dan is definitely the crush, you're right, I think the rest are all married.

The big tearjerker moment for me was the whole scene with Tracey's crash, it really got to me. What killed me the most is that she was in the lead for MOST of the race! She's one of the smallest women this season (if not the smallest--haven't seen her weight yet) and SHE was the one who turned out the worst from one mile.

I thought it was a little unfair for Dan to win the race though, he's been working out for 6 months, the rest haven't exercised in years.

I don't really have a favorite yet. I remember last season I didn't care for the green team until a few episodes in, then Tara started kicking major ass! My first impressions were "oh boo hoo, you used to be a freaking model." I still <3 Tara more than any other contestant, ever.

Jillian was on the morning radio show I listen to a few weeks ago so I already knew that the theme this season was second chances, and she said how even she broke down and cried during the first episode. I also knew that she and Bob would be training together.

I'm VERY interested to see how this plays out. I was hoping Tracey would be back by the end of the episode, so I'm curious how that will work, if she'll be on restricted exercise and what not when she gets back. I'm very proud of Coach Mo for accomplishing as much as he did by himself, AND not having as much time to work out as everyone else :thumbup:

One question though--last season they were advertising that they were looking for another trainer as well. What happened with that? Anyone know?
