"The contestants swap trainers" Air Date 3-6-12
Man they are really beating these contestants with all sorts of gameplay twists and turns. I can't recall a season where there has been so much standard reality show nonsense.
Okay everyone, Chism didn't die he just went home, and the only reason he went home is because he wasn't good enough. No one needs to start making plans for a statue in his honor.
I laughed when everyone was so upset about the trainers switching and they cut to Jeremy who just kind of smirked at the camera and said he was cool with it.
They should just embrace the new trainers. Nothing can be done to change the situation they are in and they might learn something new and different that they like and works just as well than what they are doing right now.
The fact that the winning team gets to be the only ones who vote will amp up the game play in the house.
I was worried about how much effort the trainers would put into training what is basically the enemy. I am glad to see that both trainers seemed to handle it like professionals and worked to the best of their abilities.
I think this would have been a good week to do a "if you accomplish "X" you get immunity, so the challenge would be to work with someone new, but if you could master it you were automatically safe.
Watch whenever Dolvett pulls someone aside and has a personal conversation with them. He always goes into quiet voice. It's starting to become laughable almost to the point where it could become a drinking game.
I liked that Dolvett made an effort to try and bond with Emily, but I had mixed feelings about Bob and Buddy. On one hand it was an incredibly painful and emotional story Buddy shared and it will serve him well as a focus for maintaining his weight loss, but on the other hand it seems very personal to ask someone to share such a story when they are basically a stranger.
I wonder if Bob and Dolvett sat down and did one on ones with all the contestants or if it was just those two.
The ballet stuff was a good bonding exercise, but I wonder what cost it played in their weigh in. If the teams were switched permanently I think it would be a good thing to do, but I wonder of they had spent that time in the gym if the end result might have been different.
I don't like challenges that are 100% based on luck. All it takes is one player who runs into a cold spot and can't find a weight and it sinks a whole team. I also wondered how many weights were buried in the mud pit, were there only 80 so they had to find at least half or were there more, and how were they placed. It seems like a challenge that the producers could very easily cheat the outcome of.
Conda would have been the very last person I would have tried to make a deal with. The girl must be getting a horrible TV edit, because everyone there seems to like her and on TV she is coming off as about the worst person to have ever been on Biggest Loser.
I wonder if the producers are trying to keep Conda safe. They basically set up the rules this week where there is no way that she could possible go home. If she is on the losing team, the other team is made of all her old teammates and her brother.
I liked that Jeremy was his own man and even though he is in an alliance with the other guys, he still voted the way he felt was the right thing to do. Also by doing that he secured Conda's place in the game. If she is smart she can tell the black team that she got her brother to vote the way they wanted and so no matter who ends up in power she will be among them.
It was a decent last ditch effort by Casandra to try and play the "take the best to the end" card. The only problems were, everyone knew she was secretly trying to get off the stronger guys and had the black team won that is what would have happened and more importantly there are still lots of strong people left. Its not like this is the final elimination and the choice is between someone strong or someone weak and the voters went with the easier route, the game is only about half done.
