Fall 2011 Biggest Loser

Tech Tee · Aug 28, 2011

Found an article with the cast. Some super fatties, some just way overweight. They're grouping them by age for teams I think. They're all wearing shirts with their age on them. Gotta have that gimmick. 
Show starts Sept 20.

Hmmm, interesting twist. Can't wait for the new season. Is it just me or does it seem like it has been ages?

Tech Tee · Sep 6, 2011

It does seem like a long time. At least it might cause some more chatter in this group. It's been dead in here.

It's been on hulu and nbc.com consistently. 
A few seasons back, it was delayed a week, but last season I recall it being on the next day. It's also nicer, because it's shorter. And you can zip through the stupid touchy feely stuff. Hmmm. Jillian won't be there to dispense psudo-psychology anymore. Wonder how tennis-woman will be at it. (only put tennis woman because I didn't feel like looking up how to spell her name)

I haven't been really following BL closely the last couple of segments, but I do remember this guy (I think it was the last segment I paid attention to closely)

The accident occurred on Sept. 3 in San Francisco when Poueu, after a night celebrating a friend's birthday at a dinner, went to the rooftop of another pal's apartment and the door locked behind him.
 
Poueu "attempted to climb down the fire escape ladder to drop down into the fourth floor balcony and slipped," the families say in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE. "The San Francisco Fire Department responded within minutes thanks to a neighbor's immediate call."

 With all due respect, that's a pretty bone-headed move.
 
They DO look cute, though

Orlando Bloom did one even stupider. 
he tried to climb out one window into another because of a locked door. Broke his neck.

Actually, my roomate, half in the bag (as I was too) at one of our parties in college, crawled out of our bedroom window into the bathroom window which was right next too, because someone had locked the door then closed it when they were finished. 
I was holding on to his belt in case he fell, which he did not. 
Also, it was only one story up.

Sorry dude ... It was GLEE then Zoey's new show
 
I saw 5 minutes [maybe] ... AnnaK is the "trainer" for the older group? They tryin' to kill an old dude???
 
I dunno ... Bob with Jillian is like Laverne without Shirley

It was evident to me that AnnaK was yelling for the cameras. The black trainer dude was OK. Its just the first week, I haven't gotten "into" it yet.

merigayle · Sep 21, 2011

Anna stinks. The new guy, too soon to tell, but atleast he had credentials and experience (and is cute). Bob is getting more gay. Sigh. I like to pretend he will knock on my door and run away with me. They were in Death Valley, my favorite place.

Shadow38 · Sep 21, 2011

I didn't care for Anna but maybe she'll get it figured out. I said from the beginning that this will likely be her one and only season on BL as a trainer.
 
Dolvett - he certainly did NOT hurt my eyes. Not sure about his training methods yet.
 
I was really surprised at how Patrick and Antone acted. Wow, man up guys!
 
Debbie - that was a harsh pre-vote rant. Did she want to make sure she went home right away?
 
Its interesting to me to see these folks at the beginning. Most have no idea what they are capable of. I love seeing when they get it figured out.

RaisingArizonainNH · Sep 22, 2011

I am not sure I like the sort by age thing.. have a feeling the older team is going to get picked down pretty quick. I wonder if Anna has enough training background to get them in the running. Training the way it is done is definitely a fairly complicated science. Not sure tennis pro translates to making other people lose.
 I'll watch but do hope they keep the speed up on the show- the drama/repeat factor after the commercials was enough to make me turn it off before !

Tech Tee · Sep 28, 2011

It's on! It's on!
