ONE MORE THING
I forgot one thing I wanted to talk about. The Biggest Loser. I've been a big fan and have watched faithfully but I think I'm done now, as of last week. For the first time I saw the hand of the producer behind the show. The only way in the world Jonelle wouldn't have been voted off last week is one of two things:
1. The way the show was edited made her look worse than she really was. More ostracized, more unsure she should be there.
2. The producers made the players NOT vote her off for drama effect.

Either way, it's clear now that the show is manipulated. And it's a shame because this season's group is terrific and are there for the right reasons. But I'm super disappointed in the producers.

I stopped watching last season because parts of it were being over-acted and I could see things that were staged and I couldn't do it anymore.

I just thought Jillian's team was involved in a little game play and decided to weaken the blue team.

As much as I hated it I thought it was a smart move game wise. Joelle will drive that other team nuts. And ultimately slow them down in challenges and such.

If the previews are to be believed it looks like it's orange and brown in the bottom tonight and that will really stink.

I have to keep watching to see how these people do. My favorite is probably Tara. She's tough and I respect that. :)

I love the members of this season but I'm sure hating the manipulation, Sabrina!

I was sad to hear your comments. I have been working a lot and watching other shows but I had been taping Biggest Loser to watch at a later time. I probably will pass on that now.

I totally agree with Colleen. They all need to be there and the voting off seems harsh when they all are in such a need. But we know it is a game. But they are messing with peoples real problems. So how is that helping there self esteem? Rejection seems to me to be a big part of all of their problems. I am not for all the manipulation either. They need compassion along with a knowledge to accomplish goals.

I don't like the manipulation, but I still like the show *grin*

And I think the results of last season is proof that even through the rejection they players come out on top. WOW, they all looked AWESOME at the finale.

I just hope the players this time do as well

I've only watched the show occasionally, but started recording it because of Colleen being a fan of it. It competes with American Idol LOL. Because I watch Survivor I'm used to cut-throat tactics participants will use to move ahead in the game. Also this week the team who didn't vote for Jonelle better explained why they did what they did A tactical move without thought toward anything else.

On all these reality game shows a lot of editing goes into the way the show is presented. We only see a small portion of what went on in a given week. Often times they are edited to make one person look really bad only to have that person come out on top at the end of the show. I beleive that's what happened with Jonelle. She was painted to look worse than she was and the editors played on the fact she is the weakest link.
