The Biggest Loser

I was very disappointed that Amy did not stay true to herself and send Vicky home. Vicky will vote her off in a heartbeat.

So how do those girls lose 8 pounds in a week??? I want to pull a couple of those.

I could not believe that Amy C. did not vote Vicki off. Vicki is such a nasty woman. I don't care much for Heba either. I think they need to tell Vicki to cool it or she is off the show. Her attitude made me not want to watch anymore, but I know I will watch it next week. LOL

I would like to see Michelle and her mom win it.

I know, I feel the same way! I don't like the Heba girl either. They are both just so nasty. I like Michele and her mom they are both nice and I would be happy if either of them won. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow night!

[tlag]

WOW, tonights biggest loser.......................If only Amy would have voted out Vicki at the last elimanations, then Amy would still be there. I could not believe her decison last week, and this week she paid for it. I was sooo happy to see Renee and Michelle not fall below the yellow line. I also don't care much for Heba. I would not trust her at all!

I never dreamed I would be so addicted to this show. Seems like it always makes me cry, I feel so bad for some of them, or like others have said, maybe i am just feeling their pain.

I'm soo glad I'm not the only one who can't stand Vicki AND Heba! ugh! I was bummed that Amy got voted off but I totally expected Vicki to be the brat that she is and vote Amy off. The woman really bugs me! Of course I keep watching and then throw curses at the T.V ! hahahah

[ckiki]

I LOVE the Biggest Loser!!

I, too, cannot stand Vicki, she's evil, and I don't like Heba either. I am really happy to see Michelle and her mom being able to share going to NY together next show, and Vicki has no one to share the experience with...lol

The Biggest Villain on 'Biggest Loser'

By Liz Coughlin & Angela Chen | Monday, December 1, 2008, 2:09 PM

Vicky from "Biggest Loser: Families"

NBC/Trae PattonPeople are buzzing about a contestant on "The Biggest Loser: Families" -- but not for reasons you might think. Her name is Vicky and, to put it bluntly, she scares us.

Reality TV is known for its nasty villains. From Omarosa to Richard Hatch to most of the groupies on "Rock of Love," the evil reality contestants out to win at any cost always make a show more interesting. But for the most part, "Biggest Loser" has been immune to that type of player. Sure, some contestants have worked the system (like Neil sabotaging his team by drinking gallons of water prior to the weigh-in), but typically "Biggest Loser" contestants are more focused on their own difficult transformations than plotting the demise of their competition.

Vicky may have started out as somewhat quiet (she even claimed to be overshadowed by her husband Brady), but later, as she gained confidence, the real Vicky emerged.

FIVE REASONS WHY VICKY IS BAD NEWS:

Bob, the ever-positive Blue Team trainer, commented early on that she was the "most conniving person" he'd seen on the show. To be honest, we hadn't noticed, but let's just say that if Bob has something negative to say about someone, we pay attention.

Vicky boasted that her team lost a challenge because the prize wasn't worth it. Talk about poor sportsmanship! Whether the prize is good enough for you or not, at least make an effort -- it's an additional workout, dummy.

In recent episodes Vicky started making faces during weigh-ins, and even worse, she started to openly mock Philip when he spoke, even when he was on the scale. That's crossing the line. When someone steps on that giant scale, awaiting their fate each week, it is a moment that must be respected.

Even Vicky's alliance pal Ed warned cameras that if you cross her "she'll claw your eyes out." When Amy C. voted Brady off two weeks ago, Vicky totally lost it. She cursed about Amy during her confessionals, posted a "revenge" sign on her bedroom door, ignored Amy altogether, and vowed to knock her out of the competition. And Amy was Vicky's teammate! Then when Amy saved Vicky from elimination the next week (because she felt so guilty about Brady), Vicky returned the favor by sending Amy packing the moment Amy was on the chopping block. Apparently Vicky is a 37-year-old woman with the mentality of a mean 13-year-old girl.

When football legends Jerry Rice and Steve Young stopped by for a challenge where the prize was a charitable donation, Vicky was still in 100% scheme-mode. She figured that the challenge twist would be that they'd have to run the course twice, and the winner would be the one with the most improved time. So she WALKED the first time, with Jerry and Steve shouting encouragements from the sidelines while she lied to them about being embarrassingly slow. She was correct about the twist and of course she ran the second time and won the challenge, but there was no way the win was worth it. Talk about a lack of respect for yourself, your peers, and Steve and Jerry. We were disgusted.

Vicky has been successful at losing weight, and she just might win the whole thing. But she is on a national stage displaying some truly ugly qualities -- greed, selfishness, and a complete lack of respect and compassion. Her antics might be fun on a show focused on outwitting the competition, but they're definitely out of place on "The Biggest Loser."

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...the name Vicky just raise the hairs behind my head!!! She is something else, eh? NOT a teamplayer whatsoever!

[jhawkchick75]

I agree! Don't want to give anything away in case folks haven't watched tonight, but she does the same old junk tonight. Tonight she goes crybaby mode. Anyone else I would sympathize but not her! I bawled like a baby during the first part when they were on the Tyra show. I'm watching it on DVR now so I don't know how it ends - I LOVE DVR so I can get through the commercials!

I could not believe vicky tonight, what a immature person she is. I liked the fact that Heba was even getting upset at her. I feel this is the worst season ever with Vicky being on there. I sooo wish she would have gotten voted off, but.......amy and her guilt. anyways I too cried tonight while watching it. It really does hit home. I soo hope Michelle walks away as the biggest loser!!

Last's night show was great.

Weren't those makeovers great? I would love to get my hair done after I'm at goal.

I can't believe it's been on for 93 days as the lady said and most have lost upwards to

70 lbs! That's almost a lb a day! I wish I could lose that fast. But then I'm not working

out 8 hrs a day either.

I don't mind Heba. I think she's very pretty. But Vicky is a witch! I did see the article about

her on the internet. Even her trainer thinks she's not that great.

I hope she doesn't win.

Can't wait till next week!

Ok don't hate me, but I really do not like The Biggest Loser anymore. I read two articles (http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1626795_1627112_1626456,00.html http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2007/07/...e_they_now.php) talking about how these people are isolated from society, :training1: for 4+ hours per day, and eat barley anything. I used to love Biggest Loser, but now I look and see these people who are starving themselves, overworking their bodies, and dehydration has to be part of this as well, all so they can lose weight as fast as possible. This is a bad way for us to think about weightloss!!

Sally had to have a total body lift because of all her loose skin. Most of them have loose skin from losing in an extremely short amount of time. Granted, many people who have dramatic weightloss may have to have plastic surgery for loose skin, but the faster you lose the looser your skin will be and the more likely you will have to have plastic surgery (something I could not afford)!!

I think I watched one of this season's episodes and Bob said the very first Biggest Loser gained all the weight back and is back where he started using his story to chastise one of his team :negative: . no wonder most of them gain the weight back! The plan they are on is unrealistic (I know I don't have 4-6 hours to work out per day) and it is hard not to eat when you are hungry!

I personally feel it tricks the audience into think we can do it like they do too! I bought the book. I joined the Club. I know the score. If it helps people to lose and motivate, great. I just think that a lot of people watch and think, "Hey, I can do that!" But when we try, lose a pound one week, then gain two the next and we're following the diet, we think there is something wrong with us and we are weak, then we eat cookies! :cray:

Weightloss should be at a slow, steady rate to make it so that one can maintain. I've quit watching the show. I feel like I've been duped

I don't judge you guys for loving the show; I just wanted to voice my opinion about it

[trs893]

Hello all,

just wanted to remind everyone who watches the show that the season premiere is on Tuesday!!! I can't wait! I think this season will be better than last season--I watched some previews that they have on nbc.com and I was already crying...

Keep up the good work everybody!
