Did they forget that this is a weight loss show! I think this season has been one of the best over the past seasons. The show gets a little old when people fall on the sword to go home, vote for who deserves it. I like when contestants actually play the game. Yes, it is a weight loss show, but it is also a game, which most of these comments have failed to mention.
It is a game for money, but also an experience for people to change their lives along the way. The drama has been over the top this season, but some of it is necessary to keep the show interesting, or it would be a complete snoozefest like it has been the past few season before this one. I too, have watched BL from the very beginning. I found it very inspirational in helping myself to lose weigh. I know it is a game BUT there is no need for such nastiness anaconda the snake and her helping weasel brother.
As far as I am concerned they cheat as he forfets winning side games so that his sister can win prizes she covets. I only tune in these days to see if the pair have been voted off yet. They will rig it to the end to be the last two on the show and people, that will make me puke if she wins all the money! If this persists and they do not get voted out, I will not watch this show next season, IF they have anyone even willing to subject themselves to this crap.
They should be disqualified for that. The game is to help people and the focus needs to be on changing a life. I have been wanting to vent since this season started… cant stand Conda and every week I wish she would gain weight..
The way she and the others treated the brother and sister who were brought back was the worse human behavior I have ever seen. My heart broke for the sister in the way she was treated. Conda is a bully and shame on the others who played along with her. I think NBC should disqualify her due to her behavior…. Who is responsible for casting this season? Hello, thats how Ali won her season and deservedly so.
If they are walking off. Replace them with some of the eliminated guest. Condas a bitch, sorry to say but i hate her. The way her and a few other contestants mostly the women treated the brother and sister when they returned was disgusting to put it mildly. My wife and I have watched the Biggest Loser for several years now, and I have to say this is the worst season ever.
Where did you get these bunch of losers? All they do is cry and bitch. You treated to Hawaii, then Washington D. And they still whine like little kids. Two self serving babies, who all they can think about is themselves. Good riddance…. NBC…please next season, clean up your act and get some contestants…. What a bunch of cry babies. Conda probably worked everyone up so she would have a better chance of winning. She has been so manipulative! I agree they need to fill 3 slots with eliminated players.
Worst season ever. I have stopped watching everything but the last 10 minutes on DVR to avoid any sponsors or advertising.
The most self centered group of contestants, Kim is just as mean spirited and back stabbing as Conda and both deserve to be booted for their behavior. NBC should fire those who selected this group of contestants. Season 13 is appropriately jinxed and terrible.

Such extreme, daily workouts and calorie restriction result in steep weight losses — up to 30 pounds lost in one week. Benson later gained back all the weight and was disowned by the show.
In , two contestants were hospitalized — one via airlift. Then add that exercise load on top of it. The joints of someone who has never exercised absorbing the force of pounds of jumping or bouncing? But they edited her to make her look lazy and bitchy and combative. I was only sleeping three hours a night. The trainers, she says, were unmoved. This contestant says she and most of her castmates came away with bad knees.
By the end of the show, I was running on calories and eight- to nine-hour workouts per day. My short-term memory still sucks. One doctor told a contestant she was exhibiting signs of Stockholm syndrome, and Hibbard herself fell prey to it. The other contestant had a similar response. Nicole told A. Club that she needed to travel to meet with show staff, where she did a two-hour, on-camera interview with two of the casting directors. Do you know how to swim? Do you have any tattoos? Once the first contestant was eliminated, the medical team held weekly conference calls that continued throughout the season until one week before the finale, Cheryl told Huffington Post.
It could be more than that, depending on what kind of footage cameras got for that period of time, Radar says. When she was finally able to, it was only for five minutes. Former contestants Marty Wolff and Amy Hildreth had an affair during the show and later married in , People reports.
Instead, they were made to wear sports bras, Kai told XO Jane. So while they enjoyed Christmas with their families, all the contestants sat in the White House with a security guard and a supervisor.
We were not allowed to leave the house, and we only got five minutes each to call our partners on Christmas Day.
And we do our own laundry—just like home. The show wanted people to focus just on losing weight, so they were pretty much cut off. When she got to her hotel, she was met by a production assistant, who checked her in and took away her key card. Producers just didn't show it all on air. The show fetishizes workout culture as much as it ever has. The two new trainers, Steve Cook and Erica Lugo, are slightly gentler than Harper and Michaels in their prime, but both seem entirely committed to the Biggest Loser premise that obesity is just a form of mental weakness and treadmills are the cure.
Contestants go straight into interval training, which leaves them crying, hyperventilating, and vomiting repeatedly into color-coded buckets. When Kat, a year-old cardiac nurse, tells Erica that she feels lightheaded, Erica tells her to keep pushing.
The message this kind of attitude conveys is one of shame. Not only is stigma detrimental to weight loss , it also affects the way viewers at home see the world. Weight-loss culture in the U. Shortly before the new season debuted, Kai Hibbard wrote a blog post for the National Eating Disorders Association about her dismay that The Biggest Loser was returning.
I just bought into the idea that to be healthy or happy I needed to be smaller. Instead, I became unhealthier, developed disordered eating, and hated my body more than I ever had.
