By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) In fact, in what could only be characterized as the final irony of this season, Ali and Kelly were the two contestants to make it into the finale. Ali won the weigh-in again--that's four in a row--and Kelly was second. Both Roger and Mark, feeling fairly cocky as always about their "numbers" w...

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) Next week the contestants will work without their trainers. Should actually be interesting. Two weeks in a row that are interesting? Fingers crossed. c) NBC Universal Technorati Tags: Biggest Loser, weight, diet, exercise, fitness, healthy living

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) The two remaining women, Kelly and Ali, have not exactly been united. Kelly is the sole remaining member of Jillian's black team, and Ali came back in that strange twist a few weeks ago, and still wears her pink team shirt with pride. This week, disgusted and demoralized by the men's behavior...

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) There is absolutely nothing of substance to talk about. Last night this show hit bottom. For no apparent reason, all of the previously eliminated players reappeared for a "special" weigh-in. The eliminated man and woman with the highest percentage of weight loss would come back on the show....

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) Oh what a night. A boring, boring, boring night. This show is so far off track it's hard to know what to say anymore. Let's just say The Biggest Loser-Couples is having an identity crisis. As we've mentioned in our previous posts, this show is no longer about weight loss, exercise and achieving b...

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) But we long for a simpler time. When the show was an hour. When the focus was weight loss and how best to achieve it. When the contestants cheered for each other rather than conspired to "play the game" only to win the money and the weekly prizes. When Bob and Jillian were trainers, exempt from the m...

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) Mark also pushed his brother Jay, both of whom live outside of Boston, and while this sometimes annoyed Jay, he listened to his older brother. After last week's episode, where the blue team lost the weigh-in by a pound, Jay, who had the lowest weight loss felt entirely responsible. So he was a...

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) The impact of this week's episode will likely be felt in weeks to come. And one therapy session, no matter how powerful, does not a life change make. However, this is reality television. And the therapy was sincere. And even if Jillian's mom opened just a little, a door that had longed been locke...

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) The votes were cast and Jackie was eliminated. She didn't leave quietly; and she reminded Mark and Jay that they had sworn on the lives of their children. They are surely cursed now and it will be interesting to see if they get "theirs".

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids(noreply@blogger.com) But beginning last week, The Biggest Loser took a turn and last night that turn went entirely in the wrong direction. It was not weight that was lost, but principles. And the victims were the contestants, who surely signed on for quite a different experience.

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids And the interesting question for us is this: Will the team dynamic impact the weight loss positively or negatively? Technorati Tags: Biggest Loser, NBC, relationships, weight loss, health, wellness Photo (c) The Biggest Loser. NBC.

By Nancy Davis, Safety4Kids However, there was some real progress last night, which while not related to physical weight loss, nonetheless had to do with shedding baggage. Technorati Tags: Biggest Loser, NBC, weight loss, fitness, diet, nutrition, relationships
