Man I can't stand the Red Team ' The Morgans "
Melissa is a Liar she lied on TV period BIG LOSER she even said that she wasn't even trying to loose the weight since she had immunity. Guess what AGAIN Immunity for the Rednecks again..... Lance is a BlowHard he lost respect for BOB ? News Flash NO ONE BUYS YOUR BS .... YOUR WIFE IS A LIAR

I am so sick of the green team and their attitude. I am so sick of the way they are acting. I hope they get voted off soon!!!!!!
# Joe

Dag gone it Play the re-runs where Lance's Lying wife even said she was playing the game.... and wasn't going to try
Who invited the INBREDS ?
It's Like having TWO Tracy's on the show.... God please NOOOOOooooo
Oh now Lance Redneck says he doesn't respect Jillian and walks off..... Your Stupid Lance defending your LYING WIFE... Sorry Bob you are stuck with the RED TEAM
# Joe

I think the red team is a disgrace to anyone who is trying to lose weight honestly and in a healthy way. Its sickening to watch these people who have obvious weight issues come on the show just to win the money. Sure the money should be an added incentive but it should be a bonus to the weight loss challenge. People like the red team are there just for the money, and Melissa Morgan is just a liar. She can boo hoo and cry about Jillian and Bob calling her a liar but that's exactly what she is...Crying about losing her integrity across America... She should look in the mirror, you actually have to possess integrity to lose it and the only thing she's losing is the respect of millions... this is not a slam against her being heavy, but a slam to how she is acting on a weight loss show... Melissa Morgan you are a BIG FAT LIAR!!!
# DeeDee
-1/26/2010 5:41:52 PM
Also, the green team need an attitude adjustment, there is obvious issues that run deeper than weight... QUIT BEING SO MISERABLE!

Anyone have an ideal on who had to go to the hospital that showed at the end of the show for next week
# Carrie

I can't stand the red team, that woman is a liar; and I can't stomach a liar. Jillian said Melissa would lose weight this week and she did. Seems they always have a couple on there who show their rear. Sure hope they lose soon and off the show. Yeah who had to go to the hospital?
# Frances
-1/27/2010 6:48:45 AM
I agree melissa lied and was playing the game. But Jillian do you think the viewers are idiots and don't see what was going on.To go on and on and on (YAWN). You are meant to be professional. I have great respect for Bob and yourself but last night was a bit childish. Get on with the job of helping the people who are there wanting to really sort out their lives.Don't waste energy on cheats.WE ALL SEE WHATS GOING ON WITH THE RED TEAM!!!
# Elizabeth
-1/27/2010 4:44:00 PM
I think the red team is only their to play games. Also the green team is really scaredof losing the weight. I hope the one who is really trying to lose the weight don't fall in with thered or green team. Those 2 teams should be put out of it.
# Janet

After watching BL faithfully for 5 years I finally had to say NO MORE this season. I might watch the last episode just to see the transformations. Jillian - stay out of people's personal business and start training them on the equipment!

I was a faithful admirer and fan of Biggest Loser until Bob announced his love and admiration of Obama as a great president last season. I have never really cared much for Jillian and now I truly hate Bob and NBC for airing such a view. Not only is there no place for national politics in your program, but why on earth would you alienate all the Obama haters like me in your audience for no apparent corresponding benefit to your program? I have not watched, and I will never watch, another Biggest Loser program, and in fact, I regret ever being a fan of your program. NBC is as much of a left wing network as the right says it is. Too bad. I didn't know Biggest Loser was also a political program until Bob clued me in.

I'll be so glad when Melissa and Lance get voted off the show. Melissa is very hateful and smurky to the other team members, especially to the green team. She wasn't smurking last night when she feel below the yellow line though!!!It's just a matter of time and she will be gone...and I will rejoice!As for her husband Lance...he's just a hen pecked idiot...and can't think for himself...so he needs to go too!!
# Lucy
-2/5/2010 11:27:22 PM
When they were sending one of the green team members home and melissa was talking about where all the negative energy was coming from - I couldn't stand it - she is the worst there for the negative energy. she is such a liar and she is such a crazy person - I can't understand why her husband is with her except that he is crazy as well!!! I feel sincerely bad for their poor children.

Stop the drama (Jillian, Bob and the Contentants) and get back to what the show is all about.... losing weight. You're going to lose ratings and not weight....... American Idol and Dancing with the Stars... screwed up for the same reason....drama and stupidness!!!
# bernie
-2/9/2010 8:04:02 AM
I can't believe the way this show has turned around .. it went from a good interesting show about people wanting to lose weight and trainers helping them to .. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA .. Give us a break !! Lets get down to the weight loss and how other people can do it too without going to the ranch ..make it a learning show not yelling ,screaming , drama !!! I don't even watch it anymore .. if i do turn it on i wait till the last 30 mins to see the weight losses for the week ,thats about all i can stand of the show .
# Bobbi
-2/9/2010 11:38:31 AM
The Red Team has got to go vote them off!! There are thousands of people that need help to lose weight and the show got stuck with two of the biggest liars I have ever seen. If they were so offended they would of quit the show. It just showed even further that they lied. I get so angry just watching them treat the trainers like that.. I hope they go home soon.
# Don

I can't figure out why the Biggest Loser is bouncing around all over the place.
Is it the only show that's got viewers? All people who watch the show don't need a
review each week. If you want to see the show you will be there or you can record it.
Last week for the first hour the show reviewed the past week and was then followed by
the regular 2 hour show. Why? I have my schedule for watching TV for each hour of the
evening which means that I missed the last hour due to watching another show.
Then it was on again on the weekend ( same as the 2 hour show on Tuesday ).
Being from Texas I hate to admit it but the Red Team is about as sorry as you can
get. OH! she's a lawyer so she used to telling anything she likes for you to hear.

-2/26/2010 3:07:29 PM
everyone is talking about the drama but drama is apart of real life and weight loss is very hard to do as well as very emotional i think the show is showing you how hard and emotional it can be. sam and coli are the best and one of them deserves to win they have huge hearts and care about what the show really stands for and sam is totall hot. love you sam and coli hope all the best for the both of you and goodness and honesty and love always prevails.

this show is an inspiration to anyone who has ever tried to lose weight and also anyonewho needs to lose weight. all these people on here talking about hating drama and hating the red team and hating the green team and talking about the drama they bring and saying things like look in the mirror. i think ya'll need to look in the mirror and stop being so judgemental. i have had issues with weight and it hurts when peole talk about you or say hateful things lance and melissa will see themselves through everyones eyes when they watch the show for themselves so it's not ok that people that probably are perfect and skinny to say rude things about people when they are down and out. judge and you shall be judged yourself.
# Carrie

Wheee Melissa is off again.
# Pat

come on grow up please, all u calling Melissa a game player and passing judgement!!What do u think micheal was doing when he made his dream team game playing people. Making sure he had the better team so he could stay is playing the game!!They all plot and scheme in their head . Melissa was the only one honest enough to speak out loud.
# Carrie
-4/7/2010 10:21:52 AM
Yep she was honest, just kept running her mouth. Soooo glad she's gone, never liked her from the start.
# Pat
-4/7/2010 11:51:46 AM
all this huggy huggy kissy kissy crap is a big old fake . they are all waiting to twist that knife in the back.seems koli has already started when he started the rumor that Stephanie had threw her weigh in. sounds like game play to me. And if the others don't wake up and seperate Koli and Sam their sunk!! I'd break up Sunshine and her loving father too. Come on people get real!
# michelle
-4/7/2010 11:19:44 PM
All these people we love to hate is what makes the show so interesting. Sure there are certain people I could not wait to get voted off(like the green team). But without all the different personalities and attitudes it would tend to get boring. I have been a faithful viewer since season 1 and have never missed an episode.

I am so inspired by all of the contestants this year. Idk if they can read this but if you can I want to say way to go and keep up the great work. Even those of you that have been sent home I admire all of you. I am 240 pounds 5'7" and 27 years old. I wish I had the courage to do what you have done. My husband and family don't even have a clue what I weigh. I am very good at hiding it. Keep it up. You are my inspiration. I have lost 10 pounds so far because you guys showed me I can do it.
# Tami
-4/27/2010 8:38:31 PM
I am writing for the first time, only because I am so disappointed in Sunshine. She threw her dad under the bus, just so she could stay!!! What kind of daughter is she. If she was truly concerned for her wonderful father, she would have gone home and let Oniel stay...he needs it much more than she does. I am tired of her crying when she is below the yellow line. With the weight she's been NOT losing lately, she will be below the yellow line next week and going home. Oneil, you are an insperation, a wonderful father and I will miss seeing you on the show. You made each and every episode memorable!!! Good luck at home!!

I love the show!! Been watching since I can remember. I was sorry to see O'Neal leave but you can't punish Sunshine for it! He has lived his life and in return he wants to give his beautiful daughter a chance at life. That is a very unselfish thing to do and I didn't expect anything less from him. He was AND is a great inperation!!Good luck to ALL OF YOU!!!

Sunshine looks like Beyonce. Beautiful. Too bad she didn't make it to the finals. I find it interesting that Koli didn't trust Stephanie and her and Sam are living together now. Wonder if Koli trusts her now? And how did Sam feel about his loving cousin saying that stuff about his lady love? I like Mike, but he is getting too big of an attitude. Hated when he said to Ali "didn't your Mom ever tell you not to play with guns" I was embarrassed for him. I do hope that he loses the rest of the weight he needs to and DOES end up helping other people. But I really hope he doesn't turn in to a jerk. Love Daris. He is so cute. Love Ashley too. What a beauty she is and will be even more so when she is done with her journey. Just hope all these people can succeed and keep the weight off. I'm happy for them all.

Jillian and Bob are great. I have no problem with them and have learned a lot. My problem is with the contestants.
They could not lose weight on their own but yet when they have lost the weight, they are spokes persons. I hate it when they say "You can do it on your own". They couldn't and didn't. They had all the chances to join the online program and didn't.
Last night there was two runners that came and helped that looked like they had gained weight.
# Carrie
-5/26/2010 6:15:14 PM
Gee now its over. At least Melissa didn't win. Wonder if she has ever been told, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH! Her mouth goes like a flap in a gooses rear end, blah, blah, blah.

According to E.tv Customer Care,
There is no plan to bring back "Biggest Loser South Africa" for season 2 at this point in time. If they decide to produce “The Biggest Loser SA II”, there will be press announcements and on air promos. More info at website http://www.etv.co.za/

This last season will also be the end for me unless Jillian changes her attitude. To watch her screaming and shouting and spitting in someone's face is no pleasure at all. It is very disturbing to those of us who believe that verbal abuse is every bit as bad as physical abuse. I also note that Bob, last season, got into the same game of screaming at people. It is absolutely so unnecessary and simply makes Jillian and Bob look like screaming banshees. What most people are interested in (having asked many who used to watch) is the competition to some extent and more, to see people lose weight and to be so happy for them. I also believe that this pseudo-psychology practiced by Bob and Jillian (especially Jillian) is made for tv. Maybe some people like to watch others in their deepest misery (some of which is very upsetting) but many of us are not voyeurs to this. It does not need all this drama. Why don't tv companies realize that it is enough for most people to see the transition of these people. Strictly speaking the whole thing is totally unfair because in the end it is not who has lost the most weight but who has made it to the end of the run. However, I do understand the need for a little drama and excitement but please do away with the verbal abuse PLEASE!!!

I missed the first episode I'm watching it now on friday. I can't believe you sent four people home the first day. your were messing with their minds. at least your giving them another chance but it still isn'tright. If you hadn't allowed them to return, you would have lost a viewer and I've been watching for 5 seasons. I also think spliting a team is stupid, the contestants don't know these guys. I think the contestants should have two weeks on the ranch before elimanation, it would help with their diet and exercise program.
