The Biggest Gainer?

Wow.... Big things happened last night.

The teams were changed up... 12 losers were left to "bet" their way to a power position. The temptation this week forced them to eat up to 2200 calories of cookies, crackers and cheese, to win the ability to split all the losers into 4 trios. Jez won the temptation eating a ton of crap, and did what he thought was a good job at splitting the teams. He chose Isabeau and Neil, the largest male threat and largest female threat. He did a pretty good job at making the other teams equal, but it was Bill, Julie and Amy that won the challenge.

After 4 bee-movie mini's (which I am done with) and another shameless product plug, we get onto the rest of the show...

Big rift between Amy and Kim... Amy is still pissed that Kim threw her under the bus... so she decided to work out with Jillian instead.

Ok, the weigh in. The week was stressful for everyone, so some people just didn't know how much weight they were going to lose. Ryan gained a pound, Amy stayed the same weight not losing anything. Then we get to Jez, Neil, and Isabeau. They needed to lose a combined 11 pounds to stay out of elimination. Jez and Isabeau lost a combined 10 pounds... and you know Neil is going to gain weight because of the promos.

He gained 17 pounds!!!!!!!!! Totally cheated.... drank 2 gallons of water before the weigh in to throw it, and get one of his teammates eliminated since they are bigger threats. Total dick move. I mean, it's a game, but you should play it fairly. This is nothing new... people have done this sort of thing in the past, but never to that extent. I mean 17 pounds... that is insane. And next week he'll have some crazy weight loss because it'll be the water weight plus whatever he really lost...

In the end the other competitors chose to eliminate Jez, unfortunately. It'll be interesting to see how they regard Neil next week, especially Isabeau who was Jez's original teammate, but has to work with Neil because he is now on her team.

I was really angry about what Neil did last night, and disappointed that The Biggest Loser let him get away with it. He should have been eliminated for cheating.

I wrote a blog entry about it, too, if you want to check it out: http://fat-chat.blogspot.com/

Thanks for posting. It's nice to know there are other people out there who think Neil is a cheat, too.

Fat Cat -

I appreciate the comments, and I too was appalled at what went down on BL last night. But, it is a game and a competition, and unfortunately there are alliances that get formed. This has happened in previous seasons, but not as dramatically as how much Neil put on last night.

I don't think the producers should have done anything to Neil, the best lesson he would have learned is if the others would have voted him off. But he knew what he was doing, because Jez got sent home.

Thanks again for reading!
