I am happy to be proven wrong in what I said in my last post about The Biggest Loser — Ed/Heba were not certs for the win and America does seem to share that same sick sense of humour us Brits do as evidenced in the fact they voted Heba out. Ed really could have won it though — you could see he still had a little weight to lose, I feel if he’d tried a bit harder he would have had it!

The finale really wasn’t that interesting though. It pains me Heba won the at home prize — though the up side of that being if America has voted her into the final three, she would have won the lot, I was really rooting for Amy and there was absolutely no mention of the despicable way Vicky, Brady, Ed and Heba acted throughout the show…it’s as though the producers thought if they didn’t revisit any of that nastiness we’d just forget it ever happened.

Thankfully people have longer memories.

And is it just me or was there a certain amount of karma at stake when both Heba and Vikcy very nearly fell flat on their arses during their big ‘look at me’ moment, hmm

That said congratulations to them all, I am glad Michelle won the main prize and roll on season 7!

Who will America choose to go through to the finale?

As is the theme for the later part of this season for me…who cares?

Whichever one makes it through will win, let’s be honest, Vicky and Michelle don’t have enough weight left to lose in order to beat them. Which ever is chosen, both win.

If Vicky had fallen under the line it would have been great to have that satisfaction of voting her off. If Michelle had fallen under it would have been great to be able to save her.

One thing I do know is that if this were a UK show it’d be a forgone conclusion that Ed would be chosen to go through, we are a cynical and devious lot when it comes to reality tv and we’d vote for the opposite of what the contestants want — we’d want to send a message to Ed and Heba that gaining weight in the final weigh in order to ensure your wife gets to the finale is not cool.

I don’t think America will vote that way for those reasons though. They’ll vote for Heba because she wants to be there more and/or because they want an all female finale!

Which of the two do you want to see go through? Who do you want to see win overall?

You know, if one more person calls Vicky from this seasons Biggest Loser USA ‘The Gameplayer’ I might just go insane.

The host, Bob, the voice over, the other contestants.

That moniker is far too good for her, she has proved on at least two or three occasions now that she is not a good game player, she’s voted to keep in her biggest threat because of blue team/her alliance loyalty. That is not good game playing. In the last episode she all but handed Ed/Heba the win.

Her actions throughout the game are because she’s just a nasty, spiteful person. End of.

I can’t wait for the finale…oh…oh no wait, I am lying about that. Three of the most unlikable contestants in the shows history have made it to the finale — what’s going to be fun about that? I don’t care about their journeys, I don’t cheer for their successes, I don’t want any of them to win the million dollar Jello prize and no amount of attempted redemptive editing is going to change that.

I’d be amazed if the finale few episodes of this season aren’t the lowest rated episodes ever.

Team Vile 1 – Team Nice 1

The latest episode of The Biggest Loser USA ended in a draw, with Ed returning (or The husband of ‘The world revolves around me’ Heba, as he’s better known in this household) scoring a point for Team Vile…and Amy deciding to vote off Brady scoring a point for Team Nice.

I didn’t think it’d happen to be honest, I have seen enough reality tv show vote offs to know that when it seems like it’s a forgone conclusion, they will edit the heck out of everything to make it seem like there’s a chance it’ll go the other way, but it never does.

Kudos to the editors.

I have disliked Heba from the start, she’s so up her own backside it’s unbelievable — there’s nothing worse than a bitchy little girl who loves to point out and pick at others flaws, but cannot see her own. As for Vicky, she seemed nice enough and then all of a sudden *bam* out comes Vile Vicky, one of the most unpleasant TBL contestants ever — now don’t get me wrong, I don’t care that she’s trying to play the game, I don’t care that she’s in it for the money more than the weight loss — but she’s a genuinely unpleasant woman.

Doing a little dance and happy clap in front of a team who just had to vote someone out? Who does that? No class. at all.

I think the best word to describe that little alliance, is simply Highschool — it really says every thing that needs to be said doesn’t it.

I hope that the black team do a similar little dance that they voted off Brady, let’s see how they like that. *

Roll on next week. The fallout should be spectacular. I only hope that Bob doesn’t freak out on Amy, her game, her life, her choice Bob!

* actually I hope they don’t, and I know they won’t…but it’d be well deserved if they did.
