More Drama on The Biggest Loser

Another week with lots of drama on The Biggest Loser. Last week's drama was all about the new contestants; this week it seems that at least one of those contestants was determined to cause some drama.

Now, I need to say upfront that I am rooting for Adrian and Jaron to win. Yes, I know that Adrian is whiny beyond belief. But I also know that what they've done is far more impressive than the weight loss of those on the ranch. We all could lose 30% of our weight if all we had to do all day was exercise. But I can barely manage to maintain my weight, let alone drop 5 pounds a week, while I'm at home with all the responsibilities that entails. Good for them. Jaron especially. Not only did he drop a huge amount of weight at home, he's had a fantastic attitude since arriving on the ranch (where he continues to pull huge numbers...just what is this boy doing?!?).

Adrian? Well, she's a different story. She's still dropping huge amounts of weight. But she is whining the whole time. And I understand where she's coming from. I really do. But she has to remember that she's on national television, and very few people can get behind the whining. I wish that she had approached the challenge in a different way. I agree with her 100% - the last two challenges have been unfair to Adrian and Jaron. They are clearly designed that way. But to whine about it was the wrong way to handle it. If she had asked for a moment, stepped aside, and spoke her mind to a producer, she would have gotten a lot further. I don't think the challenge would have changed. But how she was perceived would be. What's that great Reagan saying? "Disagree without being disagreeable." There's no doubt the challenge was unfair. But her temper tantrum only made matters worse.

I'm still wondering why the trainers are continuing to train their "teams." Is it because Bob and Kim don't want to? (or don't get along?) I'm kind of disappointed that we haven't seen any big group workouts with both trainers. Strange.

So at the weigh-in it wasn't too shocking that Marty and Wylie were below the yellow line (still the lamest catch-phrase ever). The editing of the show sucks. What was a surprise was that Marty was voted off. It makes no sense. Look at Wylie - he looks like a different man. And the girls were right - with no loss this week, he is going to pull a huge number next time. Strategy-wise, voting off Wylie would have been a better choice. And it was really surprising that Erik cast the deciding vote against Marty (although, not THAT surprising considering the comment during the challenge about the whole blue team thing). Marty looked great today (albeit a little creepy with his students) - he's got to be a contender to win the consolation prize at the finale for sure.
