The Biggest Loser

The new season of The Biggest Loser started tonight on NBC. I just LOVE this show! The host, Alison Sweeney, is beautiful and so warm and kind toward the contestants. Although I think that Jillian is a bit over the top sometimes, she and Bob do an amazing job of motivating the cast and getting them in shape. This show really brings about incredible transformations...not only of the contestants' bodies, but also of their entire lives. Who else will be watching this season with me? Have you watched previous seasons? Do you have a favorite Biggest Loser contestant?

I have watched every season as well. I think it is a shame there are so many people so drastically overweight. It is amazing that losing all that weight can eliminate the illnesses that some of them have. That really surprises me, especially Diabetes. Do I have a favourite? I can't really remember them all. Ally is pretty memorable, as is Vicky but for the opposite reason. She was nasty. I think anyone who has the guts to go on that show in front of millions of people, to push themselves to their very limits, and to continue to work hard after they go home, are to be admired. From last season I heard Bob say that one contestant that won the Biggest Loser has gained his weight back on. That is a shame. It is such a great feeling to lose weight, and a great feeling to feel so much healthier. I have lost 40 pounds and I will make pretty darn sure I will never put that weight back on again. The Biggest Loser is the best show ever to hit the air waves.

I think that Ally is my favorite as well. Vicky was AWFUL! I kept hoping she'd get sent home. I don't think I heard Bob say that one contestant had gained the weight back...did he say which person it was? What a shame!

I'm pretty sure it was one of the winners from season one or two. Bob did say it. I'm not sure he mentioned a name.

I watch it on and off, But I do notice one thing, Every time I watch the show, I'm always motivated to lose weight XD I love that effect it has on me, But I always wondered something... Is there anyone who tried to gain weight just to be on the show? I seriously wonder, because I bet there are some seriously psychotic overly competitive people out there... And unfortunately I didn't know it was coming on :( What time and day does it come on? I usually miss it because I rarely watch tv...

On NBC, The Biggest Loser is on at 8PM on Tuesdays (Eastern Time). Our cable provider also has Fine Living Network, which also airs new episodes of the current season. Check it out, maybe you can find it on one of those networks.
