I think the one we need to watch out for this season is Tara. I don’t trust her.

I have way too much to say about this season to write it all here! lol Check out my blog for a full post.

I agree with you about the shirtless weigh-in’s. I mean really, what’s the point? Humiliation???

And I don’t care for Allison. I was sad to see Caroline go. I often wondered if they replaced her because of her weight. I felt she was better able to understand what it is to have a weight issue whereas Allison has no clue. And yes, her voice irritates me, too!

Regarding Bob – I use to like him. Until last season that is. That’s when he proved to me that he is all about game play. Jillian, I find, is more worried about the mental aspect and the long term results once they go home. Some of the decisions Bob made last season made me wonder if they get a bonus if their team member makes it to the final and wins. I really think he was the reason Amy C. did not vote Vicky off. Since then, I don’t care for him.

See, I told you I have way too much of an opinion on this subject ! LOL

Hi Tonya! I missed the first several seasons on principle, because I thought that they were making fun of or just exploiting overweight people for entertainment – then I actually watched an episode.

I agree that I definitely think this season is going to be much better than last season, but then some of the crazy ones on last season almost seemed normal at the beginning. So we’ll see! I think you’re completely right about what you said regarding Bob and Jillian’s reactions and how they aren’t used to that level of training. Thanks!

I LOVE TBL..I’ve watched all but one season and the ‘special’ editions (ie., Military Wives). I think I’m going to like this season MUCH better than last. Hopefully we won’t see the drama and mean-spiritedness of last season. As far as Bob and Jillian’s reactions to the contestants, they both fairly new to this level of training. Before doing TBL I believe they have both spent much of their careers training celebrities, athletes and people just looking to get into shape. Also, remember there’s alot of editing going on, so those ‘looks’ may have not be actual reactions.

Whoohoo! Another convert! I’m glad you liked the show, Diana!

I know that their daily schedule and losses are completely unrealistic in the real world, but for me, it’s all about the emotions they go through.

I watched it! My very first BL show that I watched the entire thing. Usually I start to watch it and get busy or catch the end, never the entire show. I loved it! Now I know why everyone talks about it all the time.

Bob bugged me too with his comments about how the high weighins. Like he just couldn’t believe it. Annoying.

But overall, great show. I can’t wait for the next one!
