TBL Families

If a Jofre is going to win I hope it's Pablo.

I hate that Tony got the $20,000 last week and I HOPE that there's a catch attached to it.

Yes, Tony and Rob are the ones I really don't like. Rob has that 'I know something you don't know' face about him. The other two just go along with them in many respects.
 
Don't like rob. Don't know why just don't like him. Tony is all talk the talk and thinks he's I destrutable and is a sore loser. Daniel I don't mind only because he has the most potential to look the best at the finale. Pablo is the only genuine one.

It's not that I don't like them. Well, Tony's face annoys me lol. But apart from that they seem like good guys. It's a bit boring with the whole foregone conclusion of it all but I don't think they're evil or anything.

It's more my suspicions that one or more of them deliberately bulked up over the period of a few months or more to get their family on the show, without really losing condition.
Nobody who has been long term obese leading the sedentary life that they make out they all live would be able to do hours and hours of training right off the bat.

That said, I like how they train and don't complain which is seriously what you'd be hoping to do if you had that opportunity.

I have to agree. I've watched a ton of biggest loser and it feels like the Jofre's totally played the TBL casting team. They all had excellent conditioning pretty much from the get-go, and their diary room banters are painful to listen to. Their actions are super predictable and deliberate every time, despite what BS they feed the camera. Of course it doesn't guarantee they'll win but it really kinda taints what TBL is supposed to be about. Having said that, listening to Cliff's claims to how this is the week he's turned it around and then to find out he put away a giant plate of pasta, well that's even more painful.

I think it was recent, then again he may have been buying for others, she didn't ask if it was drive through or in store. They still have fianle to go so it may have been a last treat.

The chance to get rid of a Jofre on one occasion and not doing so, was a very bad move on the others' parts. A few of them tried but the stupid alliance which is a load of codswallop really, and will trip them up, kiboshed the whole thing. With the two black team men injured/ill, they're running out of people to get rid of and they'll turn on themselves, but more likely is that only one of them will go and the others will dominate finals.
 
If it's back next year, I HOPE they don't have families again.
And make people individuals to start with (not their team's weight).
If there are alliances, then it's between one person and another - maybe 2 or 3.
Not one whole family allied with another family.
Or even one team allied with another team.
It just makes it too much of a whitewash.

For elimination it should just be the lowest 2 percentages who go in. Or even if just the lowest percentage goes. I even hate how they have to vote people out like it's their right to decide who deserves to stay and learn and lose weight.

That way people would be on their game the whole time and won't have people to hide behind. It will 100% be up to them.

I hate the way the teams decide which of their own to put up for elimination. "Johnee can't be up, he needs to be here. Moses needs to go, he's the head of the family. Kayla can go because there's no way Cliff is going", etc etc etc. It's such bullshit, just make the bottom two the lowest percentage losers and stop manipulating the result or letting the players plan it all out.

I like how the U.S. Have been doing it for the past few years. The lowest percentage of weight loss puts the contestant below the red line rather then the yellow line. If your below the red line then you are eliminated without any votes cast, your just automatically eliminated.

With the current series averging at around 590,000 it's improved 100% in ratings compared to last years. I reckon an easy 850,000 at least will watch the finale. I have a slight feeling it will be renewed next year. I'm thinking that if it does come back it will most likely be a couples edition. That however is purely my OPINION. If not I can see them doing a similar format to 2012. I would like for them to do indiduals for the entire thing. It's never been done before in the Australian or the American version. This years is focusing on too much of alliances and gameplay.
 
I haven't watched this season, I did see 5 minutes on catch up and the amount of times I heard "keyalows" I had to turn off
 
I'm in tears for gorgeous Mel. What a champion.
I'd like to know their heights so as to compare with my weight/height, for example, with theirs.

2 contestants gaining weight, pretty sure they gave not gained fat but muscle. They probably should take measurements or do a dexa scan as a far more accurate guide to how everyone is going, but I guess that's too complicated and not as good viewing.
 
So only Mel and Cliff get to vote, surely it will be 100% Jofre? Can they even hint the outcome will be otherwise?
Mel is a champion, and Daniel was a bad sport tonight, as two thirds of the Jofres usually are.

No, all the contestants above the yellow line vote as their individuals now. If Mel, Cliff, Johnee and Tenealle vote together then Daniel will be out but I think Mel would rather see someone in the black team go after they voted Jodie out.
