--- Quote from: Texan on October 22, 2008, 09:52:04 AM ---I am with you Pledge, I have missed a few shows and part of last night but I really did not like Brady, Vikcy and Heba yesterday. ESPECIALLY VICKY!!! I really hope they send her home soon. And Heba is high on power or something. The way she talked to Amy last night was not necessary.
I agree with Bob... something it up with Brady and Vicky... how can that large man only lose 3 pounds!?!? if he was doing the same as his wife.
Next week's preview shows Phil and Brady and says one person's weight loss is more the other team's whole loss. Sadly i think this will be Brady as he has alot to lose and with a low number and Bob's comment I think it is a set up for next week. I would love for it to be Phil but I do not see it.
If the blue team goes, I would LOVE for Amy to be the biggest loser to make them send one of their alliance's home.

A recap of last nights The Biggest Loser:
'The Biggest Loser: Families': "Why would you say such hateful things about me?"
The Blue Meanies continue to wreak havoc on The Biggest Loser: Families this week, staging an unwanted intervention, probably lying to their trainer, and generally being snots. Of course, one member of Team Black isn't exactly wining friends and influencing people, either.
This spoiler has no idea what happened last week. Blink blink grin.
Bob is devastated when he discovers that Amy is gone, at least in part because it means he's stuck with Vicky the Vile for another week. Vicky rubs Bob's nose in it -- "You thought I was gone?" More like "hoped and prayed," Vicky. When Mr. Sunshine admits that he finds someone detestable, you know it's bad.
Bob asks Brady and Vicky if there was any funny business with last week's weigh-in. You know I wouldn't tell anyone, he says, which would carry more weight if there weren't cameras everywhere. Interesting that he didn't ask Brady alone -- but then, Bob knows that Brady can't talk without his wife there to pull the strings. Vicky and Brady swear that everything was legit, but Vicky's got this feces-munching grin on her face in her interview. If I were charitable, I'd assume that said grin is just some sort of nervous tick. But who am I kidding -- I see it as evidence that Vicky LIES like a RUG.
Vicky claims last week’s number happened because Brady isn't eating every four hours like Bob demands. Brady looks slightly surprised by this, but he agrees that this must be the problem. Given that slender thread of plausible deniability to hold onto, Bob orders Brady to eat when and what he's told, then washes his hands of the whole thing. Harumph.
Food Fight
The teams have to figure out which of a given pair of food choices is less bad for them. Three of them seemed pretty obvious: A hot dog beats nuclear nachos, penne with shrimp is better than spaghetti with Italian sausage, and a bacon-egg-cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin beats a multigrain bagel.
The other two were a bit tricky: Yes, chicken and shrimp fajitas are reasonably healthy, but when you add "the works" -- principally sour cream, guacamole and cheese -- they end up less healthy than chicken nuggets. But when you compare a burrito with "the works" against 18 light beers, the beers come out worse. Personally, I'd think the beer would be better, because you'd get plenty of exercise running to the bathroom, and besides, you'd either pass out or get sick of beer before you'd consumed them all. Alas, those factors weren't taken into consideration.
The Blue Meanies win. They get a 40-pound weight advantage at the challenge.
The Challenge
The teams get up in big old slings and have to hold onto ropes, basically combating their combined body weight. Since the Blue Meanies won the food fight, they get to add 40 pounds to the Team Black. Even that doesn't spice up the game enough -- after 30 minutes, no one seems worse for wear, so one member of each team has to let go. After that, Team Black falls apart. Michelle is the last Blue member left holding the rope, and she makes a valiant effort, but she eventually has to let go. The Blue Meanies win the right to choose one member of Team Black and make their weight not count in this week's total.
The Drama
Heba decides to confront Phil about how he's mean and evil and hates her and how dare he. She and the rest of the Blue Meanies stage this intervention while Team Black is sitting down to a quiet meal. Coleen eventually gets fed up with the drama and stalks off.
It transpires that Phil is, indeed, that stupid -- he really did approach Brady and Vicky last week, and really did try to make an alliance to that would sacrifice Heba to keep Amy. He probably wasn't half as inflammatory about it as Vicky and Brady said, but it was still a bone-headed move. But is the Blue Meanies strategy of calling Phil out in front of his team equally bone-headed? The idea is to get them questioning Phil's fitness to stay in the game. Really, I think it just pissed off the ladies of Team Black. We'll see what happens come weigh-in.
The Weigh In and Elimination
The Blue Meanies choose Michelle as the one to take off the rolls this week. Michelle is nonplused. Why her?
Team Black
Michelle goes from 202 pounds to 200 pounds, a 2-pound loss. It doesn't count in the total.
Renee goes from 225 pounds to 222 pounds, a 3-pound loss.
Coleen goes from 179 pounds to 177 pounds, a 2-pound loss.
Phil goes from 272 pounds to 269 pounds, a 3-pound loss.
Removing Michelle from the equation, Team Black lost a total of 8 pounds, or 1.18 percent of their combined weight.
Team Blue
Brady goes from 283 pounds to 270 pounds, for a 13-pound loss.
Vicky goes from 203 pounds to 201 pounds, a 2-pound loss.
Heba goes from 253 pounds to 247 pounds, a 6-pound loss.
Amy goes from 193 pounds to 187 pounds, a 6-pound loss.
The Blue Meanies lose a total of 27 pounds, or 2.9 percent of their weight from last week.
Renee was the biggest loser on Team Black, so she's safe. Realistically, that means Michelle's safe, too, as Renee won't vote for her. Phil admits that he's been off his game because of Amy's ouster. In the end, the Women in Black vote to send Phil back home to Amy -- just in time for their anniversary. He surprises her with a new ring and a vow-renewal ceremony. At the look-at-me-know interview, he's lost 106 pounds. Pounds again, huh? Apparently, they're willing to give the men's weights, but with women, they stick with dress sizes. Weird.

Alison Sweeney's Blog:
"Have you ever run a mile?"
That “Eat This, Not That” book is SO interesting!!!! I swear, you find yourself reading every page learning all about all your favorite restaurants. Some calorie counts are so horrifying!!! It’s such a conversation piece. A must read.
I brought my family to that challenge – Ben told me to “be careful up there”. And I’m not really afraid of heights, but man, that cherry picker was a bit wobbly. And we were REALLY high up there.
How sweet were Phil and Amy??? It was obviously so tough on Phil to be without Amy this week, and I loved how he talked about her, realizing how much he loves her. And didn’t they look fantastic??? It was so amazing to see them, and what a special way to celebrate their new, healthy lives together. I am so happy for both of them, and can’t wait to see them at the finale.

An interesting article an interview with Phil:
Exclusive Interview: Phil Parham of 'The Biggest Loser'
This season, on The Biggest Loser: Families, Phil Parham got a bad deal. Phil entered into a conversation with a teammate, that was intended to be confidential, about eliminating another player in the game. It was not meant to be malicious or shady but Phil was betrayed and his teammate, Heba, soon found out about his plan to get her out of the game. Heba took action, separating Phil from his wife when she was given the power to create teams in The Biggest Loser. Amy was eliminated soon after and Phil went home this week. Though he tried to defend himself, his old blue team just wouldn't believe a word he said. Even though he had the support of his black team members, it wasn't enough to keep him in the game and he was eliminated on last night's episode. Today, he spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview.
When asked who is currently playing the game the hardest on The Biggest Loser, Phil didn’t hesitate before answering, “Vicky pulls the strings. It is almost Shakespearean!” After Vicky and Brady sold Phil out to Heba, saying that he wanted her out, Amy defended him and said that a lot of what he was being accused of wasn’t true. “I thought that what I said to Brady in our ‘guy time’ on the court was between us. I was not as malicious or as mean spirited as Brady portrayed,” he told BuddyTV. “I still to this day do not know what Brady actually said to her. Heba was very emotional and I think Brady looked for anything to take advantage of that.”
Phil pulled a very small number at the weigh-in on this week’s episode and admitted to everyone that his head was out of the game a little after his wife was sent home the week before. “That event affected me terribly that week. I had trouble eating and getting the desire to work out with the same intensity, even though I never quit, I felt like it,” he said. “Amy was my sanity and she was gone and I felt all alone.” Thought he was sad to be eliminated, Phil was overjoyed to reunite with his wife at home, in time for the 20th wedding anniversary. “That probably was one of the best moments I have had. To be able to celebrate our anniversary together and see her and my family after that long week was awesome,” he said.
Since being home together, Amy and Phil have worked hard to prepare for The Biggest Loser’s finale. The player who loses the highest percentage of weight will walk away with $100,000. “We are doing everything we can to work out, eat right, stay rested and hydrated, and push toward that final goal at the finale,” he told BuddyTV. Since leaving the show, Phil has already dropped over 100 pounds.
