I read in an article not long ago saying that Shannon really disliked his team. Appertntly they where horrible to train with. I'm looking forward to seeing tiffanys team. But I like the look of commandos team so far.

Oh do you have a link? I don't mind Shannon, but he has to have a really good connection with his contestants to get results.. Remember the season that Margie won? That year Shannon had the younger males and weren't they all eliminated? He had on paper a good team, but could not get them to lose as much weight as they needed to stay in the comp.
I wonder if Shannon would ever leave the show?

His personal brand is as developed as well as Michelle's and I think he needs the paycheque more, he won't leave. I'm sure he's doing well for himself, but I'd say this is where a large chunk of his money comes from and he has young kids.

Does anyone remember his crush on contestant Lara? He was like a dog on heat a bit.

Yeah, hence the 'his way or the highway' unrelenting style.
Even though the Commando is like this, he seems to only do it initially and then gauges what sort of approach is best depending on the person.
I remember one year Shannon's contestants actually losing muscle and atrophying because he had them on basically no carbs and high protein, while this diet garners results, it isn't particularly ideal for their daily training sessions.

Lara? Was she the blonde who had the darker hair underneath? God it is so hard to remember all the contestants.

Yes I do in fact remember that series. That was the first series I watched. And yes and all members of the team where eliminates irregularly. James left for $30K, Luke was expelled. Ryan was Eliminted in n the boys vs girls week. And Hamish actually had a good week when he was eliminated. He was just the only the one left on his team.

His crush on Lara? I don't remember that. Well now that I think about he did seem to favour Lara over the other three.

Her transformation was great.

She has kept her weight off. She used to keep a blog in the 2012 series. I read on her online profile somewhere that she has gained around 4kg which is really nothing. Don't quote me exactly on this but apperntly she's dating her own personal trainer who trained her after the show finished.
 
jessy_girl said:
He definitely favoured her. I am being mildly facetious but she was definitely his pet of that season and possibly every.

Yes it's deffitnly ringing a bell now that you mention it. I've watched the 2011 series twice and yes now I do remember Lara being favoured by Shannon. God yes now looking back I remember it being quite noticeable actually. I remember Shannon being so happy when she came back after being eliminated. In work outs he did focus a lot on her. Jeez looking back on it it was actually quite bad.
