I'm just going to apologize now for what will sure turn into a little rant on my frustration over what was one of my favorite shows: The Biggest Loser.
I am so sick of Vicky and Heba and Brady. Thanks goodness Amy was brave enough this week to stand up for herself rather than go along with "the team" and make the choice to send Brady home. It all started when Heba started to bug me after a couple weeks into the show due to her hate for Phil, it was distracting and in my opinion she was just being hateful towards him and caused way more drama than there needed to be. And it all started over something totally stupid, that temptation in the dark - I mean- get over it!!!
But now Vicky has gone above and beyond being a "game-player." She is down right dirty and mean! I cannot believe some of things that have come out of her mouth. The first real shocker came a few weeks ago, when she made the comment at a challenge that she didn't think the prize was worth it- the prize was being able to get a message (which ended up being a live web-chat) from home. I mean, she has two small kids at home - what kind of mother would not want to be able to see and talk to her children that she hasn't seen in over a month?? Then she made the comment that her and Brady were there to pick up $350K, not to lose weight, but to bring home the money. Yes, it's great that there is a big money prize, but these people seriously need the help from Bob and Jillian and should be totally focused on getting healthy to better themselves and their future not just the cash prize. And then this week with her comment about how she thought anyone deserved to come back except for the person at the top of the weight loss board, aka Phil. What kind of down-right mean person calls out another competitor like that? Saying that he didn't deserve to be there?! She is the one that doesn't deserve to be there!! She is ruining the atmosphere and experience for all the other contestants who are there to actually lose weight, not just win money. I'm now curious to see how her nastiness will be re-directed to Amy, I'm sure. Poor girl, all she did was send home a threat, she is just doing what was in her best interest to stay around and now I'm afraid that Vicky (and probably Heba) is going to make her life on campus a living nightmare.
This season has definitely been a different one. It's been the hardest for me to watch, simply because I come away feeling angry and bitter about how the contestants are treating one another. It is usually such a motivating show and makes you just want to be better, but lately it's been way too much about the drama. All I can hope is that next season it will get back to people who truly want to lose weight, be healthy, and help motivate others to do the same.
Aaaahhhh! Thanks for letting me vent........

thats exactly why i stopped watching a few seasons back. I hate the game, the only thing I like to watch now is the end when you see how much they've lost and how the good people changed. the game aspect is ridiculous.
Nikki and I feel the exact same way. Vicky and Heba need to go. I think Amy will team up with the black team, seeming how she used to be a part of them. I hope Bob doesn't come down on her either. Go Colleen and Amy!!! They are our favs.
