"Biggest Loser Australia" |
Anyone see this yet? The first episode of the Australian version was on my TV last night (on the Slice Channel if that means anything to anyone) and it was interesting to watch. Bob and Jillian will be their trainers and in a twist, they are choosing their own teams this time and they seemed quite shocked about doing that. Unfortunately, the show was cut off abruptly just as they were about to announce the teams! I assume it will come on every Sunday, but didn't know if anyone else caught it as well. Some of the people looked like interesting characters, so I will also start watching this one as BL USA is now starting to whittle down... (no pun intended!) Anyone with me?

5. "RE: Biggest Loser Australia - the first three episodes" |
I've been watching BL Australia for the last few weeks now and it is somewhat different in format. They often end the show without doing the weigh in..and last week they did the weigh in..but then didn't show who was voted off! So, yes, the editing format is different and the shows have a different pacing. They don't stretch out the weigh in for 25 minutes putting in all the dramatic pauses - I like that. But, I was shocked when they didn't show the elimination and just cut the show off!Anyway, the shows first weigh-in showed really impressive numbers. I don't think there was a single person there who didn't lose at least 12 pounds! And..i believe it is still a week. One person lost almost thirty. Many people lost about 16. I had to do my converting as it is in all kilograms, but I was very impressed with these first week numbers. Also, Jillian is edited to seem like a much different person. She is edited to be shown as a person who really cares. She pushes her team, but is not edited to be the evil workout queen with "beatings, beatings, beatings" as she is usually portrayed on the American version. Interesting! Now, I find that this season of the American BL, she is edited to seem tough but caring, so they are lighting the edit for the US version as well this season, but's it's even more obvious in the Aussie version of how much she cares about these people. It seems to be coming on both Sunday and Thursday evening (Thursday is new with Sunday being a repeat) I will keep watching it... *Christmas Cheer from Sharnina*

6. "RE: BLA - Dec. 16th" |
Wow..I didn't know Bob's mother died right in the middle of him doing BL Australia. How sad. Apparently she "wasn't old" and it wasn't expected.. That must be really hard..to be away on another continent halfway around the world and find out you mother has passed on. This happened in 2005 apparently.Anyway, this show is done in such a different style and they don't have the weigh in every week and they focus on much different things. The women are typically much larger than their American counterparts...so it should be interesting to see how it all turns out. Still watching... *Christmas Cheer from Sharnina*

I know that Walt is an a$$ but could Tracy be.quiet! The blue team is in a pickle now. If the alliance of Tracy, Artie and Fiona holds then it looks like Cat is gone which is dumb.dumb.dumb. Kind of reminds of a certain dumb red team who got rid of Phil first chance they got.

You guys are so lucky that this is on right now. We have a satellite channel called FOX Reality, and they did a marathon of this show over New Year's. I was absolutely hooked. I taped all the episodes and literally watched the Aussie BL for days nonstop. The people on the show were my favorites, by far. Better than any of the Americans for several seasons. Fiona, Ruth, Artie, Tracy, Harry, Adro, they'll all get to you. I won't spoil any of it but be ready for a major twist. Some of the character transformations are amazing. Keep watching, it is SO worth it. Now FOX reality is doing a UK BL marathon from the same year and it's good, but not as good as this Aussie one. Have fun!

Pretty good ep.Walt, Chrissie and Ruth tried to plead for Harry, but to no avail. The other three were solid. Bye, bye Harry. While blue is in the elimination room, red decides it is time to switch rooms. There are five of them and only three blue left, so red should get the bigger room right? When they go in the room, it is a mess and they note that Artie, Fiona and Tracey didn't even pack for elimination. (Apparently everyone is supposed to pack, just in case). Red team bundle everthying up by throwing it on the bed and then taking the bed and bedding to the smaller room. Out come the drama queens. Well...room switches on reality tv are apparently on par with the atrocities in Darfur. The tears! The drama! The injustice! The violation! Artie, Tracey and Fiona get up to walk out. You actually see them going down to the crew and telling them they quit. Red team can barely contain themselves. Funniest stuff ever! Blue ultimately stay but won't leave their new bedroom. Bob has to go in and coerce that insipid child Fiona that "this will make you stronger". They evenutally come out with renewed determination....blah...blah..blah. Usual strange editing pace, but pretty good ep.

If I remember right, this episode is a huge turning point in the whole season. Make sure and post so I can refresh my memory...can't wait to talk about it again. I absolutely loved this show/season.

LAST EDITED ON 02-26-08 AT 11:32 AM (EST)Okay, finally caught the whole show re-broadcast and yup, it's confirmed...want to strangle Fiona. Whoa..what a lot of weight to gain just because you have immunity. I guess this show was taped a few years ago before they have the new rule in play about watering up....but yup, she makes me cringe. I hope the rest of her team get voted off next episode!!! "Tyko-ized" by Agman

Nah, that was my fault. I'm a little ahead in the game in my brain. But from now on the shows do get better, I promise. (I think...I worked all day and can't remember my name at this point. LOL)

Oh yeah, she wasn't there!This is the show that never ends...the show that never ends..the show that never ends...ARGHGHGHGHGHG Okay, so how much longer can they drag this out? We are down to the final three, and then they tease us by bringing back the whole group? Maybe they are going to have a "bring back one more person who has a high percentage" kind of thing going... And Fiona...can I kill her yet??? *Viced by Agman*
