Biggest Loser Fans?!
Is anyone watching BL13 right now?? If so, what do you think of the premise this season and the changes in teams?
Re: Biggest Loser Fans?!
I love the theme this season - no excuses - since it seems like I am the excuse queen when it comes to exercise.
I haven't watched the show in 3 1/2 seasons because I felt that it was getting too 'commercial' and there was a lot of imposed/made up drama...I was reading a thread on the BL FB page and someone mentioned that the the producers should look back to the first few seasons and see what really worked. I think they keep trying to reinvent the wheel to try and keep it fresh, but a few seasons ago, I just felt annoyed by it all, so I took a break.
This season, I was intrigued by a few contestants, so I decided to watch last night and I am glad that I did! I really liked the changes - it makes it interesting and it's so true - sometimes we lean too much on others, rather than seeing our own inner strength and tapping into it. I am going to continue watching and see how it goes!
The contestants came as couples, nothing new. They didn't know that they would actually have to split up and choose which trainer to work with, making them opponents. Interesting twist! So it's Bob (black) vs Doyvette (red) - not sure if I spelled his name correctly...
The idea presented was that we lean too much on others to do what we need to do for ourselves, or that others are 'excuses' to sabotage best efforts. The contestants weren't happy...should be interesting!
I'm a major BL Fan. I'm still upset that Jillian isn't back, but I love love love Bob and Dolvett has a really cool kick ass style that makes me want to work out with him! He reminds me a lot of the trainer I had for 3 months before my wedding.
I like some of the changes, I think it's really neat that they split them up on the teams, but it would be really hard to have to compete against your loved one. I'll continue to watch this season but I really do miss Jillian. (Ana sucked, and Cara was cool and effective) - I def think they need to bring back a female trainer that can get results from the contestants.
Oh- and I think its dumb that they are sponsored by Planet Fitness now instead of Golds Gym or 24 Hr Fitness. Planet Fitness is trashy, and they have tootsie rolls at the front desk and serve free PIZZA on the first Monday of each month. Not the best sponsor. Brita is a decent sponsor tho- Hopefullly it'll get people to drink more H20 from a reusable water bottle and give up the damn bottled water throw aways.
