I love the show too...totally addicted. I do have to say, remember that it is a reality show...the producers edit and "shape" the show for drama and effect. We dont always see whats really going on behind the scenes. Like the Liz thing...She was ticked off one week and they really played up her talking trash and now lots of people dont like her.

That being said, I'm glad that V2 (Tracey...aka "Vicky2"...I re-named her after the season with Vicky and Heba) is gone. One more of those ugly fake crying scenes and I might not have tuned back in!!! But I was majorly impressed with how great she looks now. I think she's a contender for the at home winner.

This show really helps me by inspiring me with their successes....all drama and nuttiness aside, it has been a really big help for me and my son too.

Ya'll have a great day!

I felt bad when they showed Tracey's kids. I'm sure the girl is in middle school, can you imagine what the other kids are saying about her mom?
She did look great at the end though smile

Anyone else getting a little tired of Rebecca's "happy dance"? It's is every segment!!

laugh I told my hubs that Rebecca's ''happy dance'' was the reason she would win the final part of the challenge. laugh She does that ALL the time - what's 200 times in a row?! tongue I adore her though, so she can happy dance all she wants. lol

I also felt bad for Tracey's kids -- whether or not it was actually Tracey being that crazy or the shows editing to make her the villan, her kids will still take the heat at school for it. ohwell She did do very well for herself in the end - I started about 10lbs lighter than her and want to lose about 10lbs less than she has - it was great to see her before/after with such similar weights to mine. smile

Rebecca can stop dancing now.

Thank goodness Tracy went home...she was making me not want to watch the show because of her crazyness and all her FAKE crying..but i must say she looked GREAT running that mile at the end...i was happy for her for a min..and then i see her on Leno...why is she on there..i have not seen any other kicked off players on there..i know they have the kicked off people from the week b4 on the today show on tue. She just REALLY bugged me once again on Leno... I am all for Rudy,Rebecca, and Danny..I was sad to see Abby go home..what a STRONG women she is=)



I saw Abby on Ellen yesterday, she was amazing - such a huge inspiration, a very strong woman, it is so good to see what a positive impact TBL has had on her life.

I actually didn't get to watch last night, I was so bummed. Turned on NBC at 7:00 and they had preempted it with the KU Jayhawks Basketball - How dare they!! Really glad to read everyones recaps and hear that Tracy went home!!!!

As soon as I saw the commercial that the one going home last night would be on Leno I knew it would be Tracey. Who else would go on Leno to talk about it?


I thought the same thing - but I fell asleep before she came on sad

Ahhhhh Rebecca, dance all you want. Burn off those extra calories. laugh

She's my top lady for winning this year (pink team )

Even though I hated tracey like all of you, I agree, she looked great after losing ~ 80lbs.

Finally, Tracy took the crazy train home!!!!
At least she knew it was her antics that sent her home and not her lack of working out.

I'm glad Tracy went home, even the host said at the elimination that the choices she made in the beginning has come back to bite her. Tracy admitted she was in it to win it and even Daniel called her out as she was sitting on the steps. I do have to agree with Shay that Liz'z plea didn't sound like she cared whether she stayed or went home.

Good job for Daniel pulling double digits in WA drinker

I was very bummed to see Shay go...Amanda would be able to do it more on her own, I'd think.

Thank goodness Shay seems to have more support at home this time around!

Ok, I was wondering if I missed something when they didn't show Shay's "after" at home. I was reading a book I just couldn't put down during the commercial breaks and was scared I had missed that part. I tried to stay up for the Leno part but just couldn't. I was very surprised that they sent Shay home though, but I felt it was time for Daniel to go. I really do wonder if such things are rigged a bit. It seems that every season that have that one or two ladies that has gotten super hot, and I can see Amanda being that girl so I wonder if she stayed to finish, and that it had nothing to do with elimination. grumble

I thought I was going to be sick when they sent Shay home. As much as I like Amanda (heck, I voted for her to be on the show), Shay needed to be there more than she did. If you go on the NBC Biggest Loser website, they have the post-show "where are they now" for Shay. She is doing great, and making huge strides in her life, and even becoming a public speaker to younger kids, encouraging them to say no to drugs, and embrace their past without losing sight of their future.
I REALLY hope they bring her back next season, but I'm afraid she'll have hit a plateau like Daniel did.

That was a bunch of BS last night! Rudy is so 2-faced! I thought with crazy Tracey gone, the game playing would stop! Shay even said in her plea that she isn't a threat and she wants to be there so she can live. Amanada is a bigger threat than her. She moves faster in the challenges and she already looks pretty slim compared to the others. Remember last season....the one they thought wasn't a threat, won the whole thing! glasses
