So, my new favourite show is definitely "The Biggest Loser". I had never really watched it before but my friend Aly was here when the premiere was one and she made me watch it and now I am hooked!
For those of you who don't know what the show is about, it is about couples that go on the show together to lose weight. Such a great concept because not only do they win money in the end, but they lose weight and also learn so much about who they are deep inside their insecurities and the person that was there but they could just not find. And as an audience, you get to learn different ideas on eating and exercising!
So, the purple team was my favourite from the beginning. It was a mother/daughter team. Kristin (daughter) was kind of annoying because she talked so much but her reasons for doing the show was so sincere that you couldn't help but love her.
And then there was the brown team. They are the only team that has made it to the end. We are now on our last 4 contestants. This is a father/son team. The father had not been under 300 pounds since he was 11 I think. And the son was the youngest and most heaviest person they have had on the show. He has now lost half of his weight. I am definitely cheering for the son. His father, he is a good game player. He has manipulated this whole show just to make sure that his son made it to the finals. Pretty brilliant.
And then comes the green team. This is the one team that I have despised this whole season. Tara (on the left) has won every challenge and though that would make her a good player, she is one of the most arrogant players. There is just something about her that bugs me! Her friend Laura went home because she had pulled a muscle and tore something so she pretty much was sent home because she would of made it worse staying and that really wasn't fair to the other players who needed to be there.
The thing with this show that is just so cool to watch is seeing the transformations that come from it. Seeing the way there were to the way they are now is incredible. The one person has lost over 180 pounds! Is that not just unbelieveable!?
Early on in the show, you get to choose which trainer you would like. There is Bob or Jillian. Bob is the nice/mean trainer. He works you hard but he seems to be kinder. Then there is Jillian who is B-R-U-T-A-L! She works you hard and she yells at you and tries to keep you going that way. She would probably make me cry all the time.
For those of you who are interested, there are only 2 more episodes. This week they have to go home for one week and then they come back to the Ranch and have to get weighed in. And then the following week (May 12), it is the F-I-N-A-L-E!! You will find out who the Biggest Loser is and who wins $250,000!!
Make sure to check it out!!
