The Biggest Loser: Nothing More Than Feelings
I don't know about you but I found this week's episode of The Biggest Loser really touching. I even watched it a second time today to see if maybe it was due to the mood I was in when I first watched it. Nope, that wasn't it. I was still just as touched the second time around.
But first, is Kelly getting on anybody else's nerves? I am sick and tired of her always crying. I know some people are more sensitive than others but she really needs to get herself together. Watching her continuously weep during the weigh-in made me want to reach through my TV and give her something to really cry about. Sure she was worried about the possibility of going home but all of them on her team (except for Paul and Maggie at that point) were as well. I didn't notice Bernie and Brittany bawling did you?
Jillian's mom seemed like a really nice lady. It was nice to meet her and very interesting to see the interaction she had with those on the black team when she was helping to counsel them. Personally, I feel that some of the members on the blue team would have reaped some benefit out of talking with her instead of going on their hike -- Dan and Trent especially. (I don't like Jay and Mark so I could have cared less about them!) It was really heart-wrenching when Paul was talking with her. It sounds like he had an absolutely horrible time growing up under his father's care. Not that I mean calling frequent beatings care so please don't mistake me on that. Out of all of the people in the cast this season, Paul is definitely my favorite. I so wanted to just give him a hug when he was talking about his father.
Another person that I really like, I mean liked, was Trent. I think it's a shame that he went home this week but I certainly understood why he wanted to go. He'd done a fabulous job already in losing 87 pounds in just 7 weeks and he must had to have been in awful pain from his hurt knee. He's an ex-football player and must have a high tolerance for pain so when he said that the level of pain he was in was an 8 out of 10, I really felt for him. I admit that I shed a few tears during the elimination ceremony when Roger voted for him to go home. Trent seemed to be doing good back at home though and I can't wait to see him at the finale. I'm thinking he'll probably manage to lose at least another 30 pounds before then which would put him at under 300 pounds. On a big guy like him, that would be huge!
I'm trying to figure out what's up with the remaining contestants being sent home already. It's too early for that so it must be just a short visit. But why do that at this time? It's not making sense to me yet. I'm sure the reason will make itself painfully obvious at the beginning of next week's episode.
So what are your thoughts on this week's episode? And what do you think this "going home" thing is all about?

I wasn't surprised to see the guys cop that macho attitude towards therapy, but they would ALL benefit from some. Jillian is right when she says they are overweight for a reason, and if you don't know what that reason is, then there isn't any point going through all that work because the weight loss won't stick (IMO).
I could only watch the first hour, and so I missed what the big thing was that they were hyping, about Bob walking out during the weigh in. Why did he do that, HD?
I really thought Teflon Man was going to be gone this week, but Mark lives to lose another day.
I, too, blubbered like a baby when Roger voted to send Trent home. And when Paul talked about his father. I am getting way too emotionally invested in strangers' lives.
