Girls Write Out
Wednesday, November 12, 2008


My family and I are big fans of the show, "The Biggest Loser", but we're having a really hard time watching it this year. Why? Because two of the contestants just seem evil in their ploys: Heba and Vicky. It is difficult to root for anyone who enjoys the downfalls of others, isn't it? Everyone knows that person, the one who seems to feel like they win at someone else's loss. I cannot identify with this character at all and I want them gone to continue watching the show.

Seriously, I want them to lose their weight. I watched my mother lose 75 pounds as a child, and that kind of lifestyle change is nothing less than extraordinary. I just don't want to watch Vicky do it. She's mean. And as the bumper sticker says, "Mean People Suck".

Random connected thought: Prius drivers are the new Beamer drivers in the Bay Area. RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!

So Vicky, in my book, you are the biggest loser, so get off the show and let others have their feel-good moments. You're sucking their energy -- and they need that so Jillian can kill them on the stairmaster. : )

K, my family agrees: Vicky is just mean. We want her gone.

I feels sorry for the poor girl who voted Vicki's husband off last night--I mean I was glad she did, but Vicki's going to make her life miserable.

She is so vengeful. I think they should get rid of her before people stop watching. Did you see the way she watches people? And her own trainer called her maniacal, that can't be good. LOL

I haven't watched that show this year, but I think I get it. There's a place for mean people in the world, say, in novels ;), but in a show like this where people are truly hurting, it's a downer. Oh, and when I see a Prius up ahead, I change lanes!!! (I have so much more to say on the Prius subject...you don't even want to know, Lol...)

Kristin....I was just trying to explain last night's episode to my hubby. The two couples on the blue team are just horrible. I have wondered how the contestants included in this brouhaha feel watching themselves this season.

I usually enjoy trying to imagine how the contestants will look at the finale and enjoy cheering them on. If Vicki and Heba make it to the finale....I just don't think I'll care to watch. Now, Colleen and her Dad or the warming of the relationship between Michelle and her mom, those are people I can stand up and cheer for!!!

It's hard to be sucked into their vortex of evil, isn't it? The whole conniving and plotting thing when she should be worried about how to lose her own weight, not terrorizing others. Clearly, she has other issues that have NOTHING to do with weight.

Julie, I heard Prius sales are way down now that gas is lower. I'm too vain for a Prius, when they make them look decent...

Kimbers, I agree with you and didn't you feel sorry for that red team couple who had to go home again? Knowing they have an autistic son and all they've had to overcome, it just makes me sick that someone could find something to hate about them that deeply. It all started for me at that "dark" challenge where they had to eat the most calories. Hearing the way Heba thought was like a suspense novel when you hear from the villain. LOL

My kids and I watch it. At first I thought Heba was the really evil one, but now I think it is Vicki. She is going to make that poor young girl pay for voting her husband off.

I am having a hard time watching it this season. Get rid of the evil girls and let us enjoy the people who are there to change their lives!

I only saw the biggest loser once so far this season, this week. I was like, ok, are these ADULTS on here or children??? How embarressing it will be for them to go home and watch themselves acting like complete fools and all of america dogging them like this.

I never know when that show is on! Thanks for the reminder. I want to watch it!

I totally agree, Vicky must go. I work with one of the current contestants on The Biggest Loser with Vicky and she said it was unbearable. She just had to pray her way through each day. She said the process is worth the outcome. She now looks amazing and can't wait for the finale.

Wow, thanks for the inside scoop! I'm sorry to hear it was hard on the other contestants though. Don't they have enough to think about? People like that drive me NUTS.

we haven't started this season in australia yet but I saw a few episodes when in Canada cant think who vicki is right now but sounds like one i wont like.

I like the aussie one they do a half hour each weekday so you see more of what they do each week and learn more tips.

I'm a huge fan of the show! I didn't read this until I watched the show in case there was something that gave away who was voted off. It tickles me to know you're such a fan, K, when NO ONE in your house needs to lose weight. LOL

Vicky and Heba are just plain mean. Vicky was especially nasty in this episode. I so hope she gets voted off.

Oh yeah, we've watched it since the beginning. I love watching people overcome. That's why I like Intervention and Celebrity Rehab too, and I've never done drugs. LOL

I consider myself a gentle loving Christian... but this season when I watch Biggest Loser... I'm not just rooting for them all to lose weight... but I'm seriously hoping that Heba and Vicky have a heart attack... not die... but you know... get some sense knocked into them and have to leave the show...

I'm awful. .... But they're worse!
