This walk off is contrived because last season the producers brought back ALL of the eliminated players to compete in a full marathon to win a spot in the final three. For those of us who watched that, it was indeed an eliminated player who came back and won the marathon.
I watched season 7 and 8, and they did bring eliminated contestant when they are near to top 5 or so. Nothing new i guess. That always makes me mad, and stop watching the show. The loser lost. The loser did not play the game right. And the loser got eliminated. Move forward. I remember when I used to watch Big Brother, that season where they had the skinny daughter, and the bully of a punk of a father the one who had threatened countless times another female contestant.
I remember when the father was supposed to get ejected, and one of the producers all of a sudden included new rules, and got another contestant ejected, I turned off my TV.
And that was that. Never watched again. I hate her on the Biggest Loser. She is ruining one of my favorite tv shows. I usually dislike it when they bring back ejected participants. Because usually, they had already lost at the game… Unless the game was not being fair. We stopped watching Amazing Race when they held up a flight actually opened the doors and put the stairs back to let 2 other couples make the flight, so that Rob and Ambuh would not have a 24 hour lead going into the last leg.
A shenanigan too far! I watch this show, and this season has been terrible. The people named in the article- Conda, Kim and Mark are just terrible, nasty people. Their argument is ridiculous, the producers are always mixing it up on the show. I watch the BL for inspiration not to be repulsed by the contestants lack of character. I have not watched BL for several seasons now, but you make an excellent point.
People watch the show to be inspired! If all they wanted was to watch people tear each other down and act like jerks, they would tune in to The Bachelor or something. Blame the producers.
They pick these vile people on purpose in hopes of bringing high drama to the show. They have no idea what a turn off it is, and ultimately leads to people turning the channel. How is that fair? To bring in eliminated contestants to compete against those who have been there all along?
Can you imagine if they did that on Survivor? If they brought in eliminated contestants who had gotten to rest in an air conditioned hotel while the others spent every day out in the bug infested heat?
There would be a big bonfire and someone would be roasting over it! They can get mad, but quitting is childish. There are millions of people who would love the opportunity they have been given. That is my thought as well. To go home and then to come back would be a distinct disadvantage for those contestants. Okay but this is The Biggest Loser.. Not survivor, not Bad girls club.
They have always brought someone back. This is the problem with the show this season. It is resembling Big Brother, who by the way is no longer airing. This should not resemble Jr high school either. Big Brother is still on, just for the record but the BL is as different as apples and oranges. The majority of cast members on BL this season are disgusting bullies and it started hard core when they brought back the brother-sister duo after they lost the required amount of weight at home to come back in the house.
Conda is a real piece of work, along with her brother and Mark. As a youth pastor, mark should be ashamed of his behavior! I hope the producer put an end to the bullying!! She controls the dynamic it seems. First reaction to the headline: Conda is responsible. She seems like a sweet person at heart but she seems to get some strange kick out of being a bully. She always manages to get the other contestants on her side.
They all felt ridiculous after letting her anger manipulate them. Many of them lost very little, and some gained weight. It was embarrassing. The other team lost close to 50 pounds total that week, and their team lost I think I can totally see her pitching a fit when she heard this news, even though this sort of twist has happened on the Biggest Loser many times. Just like she has many times throughout the show, she will surely use her bully status to influence people to make stupid decisions.
I hope she gets some help because she seems like she could be a really good person if she learned to stop pointing the finger at everyone else and taking out her frustrations on other people. When it comes to bullies like Conda, people sometimes go along with them to avoid becoming a target. I bet if she was gone the dynamic would change. Yes, Santa on a treadmill. That is a story! People are deliberately being provocative and nasty to get air time.
Bob is great. Production would have wrapped on this season before it started airing if they followed their normal schedule.
It is indeed the currently airing season. I truly hate this show. That is how the producers want and that is why the viewers watch it. I could go on forever about how bad the show is for actual healthy weight loss. Bullies are usually cut down to size very quickly on this show.
This season has been the opposite: nitpicky backstabbing galore. I am kind of obsessed with The Biggest Loser because I always get invested in cheering people on. To tackle the first issue at hand: They have brought eliminated contestants back in previous seasons. Perhaps the group that is left is mad because the returners are more than one or two people? Second issue: This is the only season I have only watched intermittently. I occasionally catch it on Hulu.
This is because the personalities on the show are… horrible. It makes me sad for them, but it also makes me not want to watch anymore. Hopefully next season is better, but Bob is right about the bullies, Conda especially. Well, the way the contestants were allowed to treat the returning Aqua team this season was astounding. Do you watch the Austrailian Biggest Loseer?
Longer seasons, way better challenges. I remember several seasons where past contestants were brought back to compete for a spot. I figured that was just a normal thing in reality tv competitions. The contestants are the competitors, not the producers. Bring back the eliminated contestants who really want to be there.
Conda is a grade A shit disturber. She reminds me very much of a woman I knew in my own life, and holy hell does she ever make me want to punch a bitch.
Cooking on a ski gondola? How does that show artistry? If you are on top of your game, people coming back are not going. I am never scared of competition…. I have watched TC from the beginning, it used to be appointment TV for me. I even own Seasons on Itunes and watch them repeatedly!! But after this season?? I cannot even believe they made people cross country ski and hack ingredients out of ice blocks. Totally fucking ridiculous.
I am sure they even signed a contract in regards to it. I say let them go and bring back everyone who has been eliminated for the chance at the big prize! Fire them. Bring back earlier contestants. The contestant from a previous season blasting them had it right.
I have watched every season of The Biggest Loser except this one, and I really love the show and am sucked in emotionally and all that ridiculous stuff. Emily, well put, I was mulling my response, and you made it for me.
I hated Heba. I hated the Big guy from Boston. I would run over Conda in my car if she ever walked by me. I have seen so many nasty mean ass bitches in my 40 plus years of life to see exactly what her problem is.
She grew into that persona. I do NOT ever see her leaving that persona. I am wondering if the returning player is one of the AQUA team and that is why they do not want them back. That is a measure of how lazy the people on the show are. Did anyone else? Daphne put in the effort and the work and deserved to be there longer, as did her brother.
But he needed to learn to shut his mouth sometimes. Even though I agreed with him often, I got tired of him opening his mouth. He cut his own throat. He and his sister were hardworking, and played by the rules set for them.
Shame on everyone responsible for letting this fire burn out of control! It sounds intolerable! I kind of wish I was watching. Seems like a groundbreaking season. On another note, they have often brought back eliminated players to compete to try to get back onto the show. Nuff said. Unless this time they are bringing them back regardless of if they win a challenge or not…. I agree Jatna- The show does not owe them anything.
I say send them packing and good riddance. Bring back people who want to be there. Yes it is one hundred percent true. Kick them all off NBC please!
This is the worst cast of any season of BL. A spokesman for the producers did not respond to Newsday's request for comment. Real Estate Technology Cars Columns. Special to Newsday February 22, PM. Print Share fb Share Tweet Email. Special to Newsday. Countless studies have shown that when it comes to weight loss, diet is a far more crucial factor than exercise. 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. Not only did I very publicly display my disordered eating and exercise habits, I was quite literally celebrated for them.
Shame is its overtaxed heart, self-hatred its rigid core.
