The Biggest Loser Season 6
gillward:
Grey Team is by far my favorite. I think the show lacks some of the personalities that last year had, but LT seems like the new man on campus. I'll be watching tonight.
Texan:
I did not see the first show but watched last night. Seems like this is going to be an emotional season. First I have to say Colleen was really arogant and I think proably lost any kind of alliance she could have made. Plus with her lasting so long on the slide challenge if they last until individuals she will be a target.
The orange couple should have stuck to their guns and promise and not voted the gray team. If their vote did not matter in the over all count stick with your friends. They had a valid point in that they saved them the week before and they were returning the favor.
There are some people that need to lose ALOT of weight and some that need to lose a smaller amount. It will be interesting to see how they will do over the next couple of weeks. Like Jillian said week one you lose alot due to the change in exercise, water and food and then platue in week 2 . . . . week 3 will be a combination of all of it.
Right now I think my favorites are the purple and pink team. They seem to really be supporting each other. I liked the orange team but was disappointed in them not returning the favor.
The after shoots of the gray team looked wonderful. I am happy they are both getting healthy and helping their family. The Dad really seems torn and upset about his families weight and blames himself.

An interesting article and interview with LT:
Fans of The Biggest Loser know that the second week is always toughest on the contestants. They seem to drop huge numbers in the first week and hardly anything in the second. The body is still trying to adjust to the amount of exercise and healthy food it’s getting. Coleen and Jerry made a bet, in a challenge, that they would lose 14 pounds. If they were successful, they’d win $10,000 but if they weren’t, they’d automatically fall below the yellow line. Together, the dropped 11 and, had they not made the bet, they would’ve ended in 3rd place this week. Yet, it was Tom and LT, the grey team, that ended up getting sent home after a shocking weigh in. Today, LT (Little Tom) spoke to BuddyTV about his weight gain, his elimination, and his relationship with his dad.
At the weigh in, jaws dropped when LT put up a +3 on the scale. His trainer, Jillian Michaels, was the only one in the room who was able to hide her shock, just saying that strange things happen in the second week. LT couldn’t seem to shed any light as to why or how he ended up gaining weight instead of losing it. “I don't know, still to this day it baffles me because I worked really hard in the 2nd week even more than I did in week one,” he told BuddyTV. “All I know is the body does things in mysterious ways.”
LT does admit that the second week was harder than the first – not just for him, but for everyone. “The workouts increased as well as the intensity. It was extreme in that second week,” he said. He felt that he and his father were a great team, because they were both great competitors and worked well together. He even went as far as to say that the grey team had the best work ethic of anyone this season. “I think our work ethic was overlooked by some of the contestants on the show,” he admitted.
Since leaving the show, LT has lost 81 pounds and Tom has lost 65. "Everything we used to do before The Biggest Loser we changed, from eating to exercising and working," LT told BuddyTV. "It all changed for the better. We are glad to have been a part of this."

CONTESTANTS TAKE ROAD TRIP TO THE GRAND CANYON
This week, the contestants take a road trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world - the Grand Canyon!

Once they arrive at the Grand Canyon, they have to figure out how to work out with no gym and no trainers. Later, the family teams compete for an amazing prize in a kayak challenge on the Colorado River before heading back to the ranch, where medical problems threaten to sideline one contestant.
