The Biggest Loser
Second Chance
Rushing Through the Makeovers
by vic2rea

Well, what did you think? I was so ready for a full blown makeover show and have to admit, I was disappointed that we got a condensed version.  It just felt like they were rushing them through their time with Tim and Tabatha, rushing through the family reunion (which is my favorite part), rushing through the introductions to the audience then condensing their speeches to a couple of lines.  Oh well, guess delaying the start of the show by 30 minutes left a lot of the good bits on the cutting room floor.

And what a surprise - Rudy really shocked me at how secretive he is.  I didn’t have a clue that he had such deep-seeded trust issues with Rebecca… did I sleep through something?  Now that I think about it,  wasn’t it Rudy who suckered Shay into thinking they had some sort of “deal” on the jumping through hoops competition?  I had no idea he was playing the game as hard as he seems to be…  I know said he was upset that she spent so much time with the Black Team, but I didn't have a clue - I'm thinking it was just an excuse to justify his vote for her to leave.   Doesn't shock me though that he voted her out  - could it be that she condemned herself with the argument that Liz had been below the yellow line three times and she (Rebecca) hadn't been below the line even once....  Psst, Rebecca, what were you thinging?  Contestants are seen as a threat if they consistently stay above the yellow line.  Falling below the line three times makes Liz less of a threat and could sway the vote her way.  Not a good thing to bring to their attention when you're sitting in the hot seat! 

I was wowed and amazed after the show.  I tuned to NBC for the Jay Leno Show and when Rebecca stepped out on stage in her mini skirt and black satin halter top that showed off her biceps, it was just unbelievable  She was greeted with wolf whistles and loud applause.  Check out the video below.  She was stunning, absolutely stunning.  She told Jay she has lost 122 pounds and now weighs 157 pounds.  Yet another shocker… she told Jay that she has fallen in love with her best friend – Daniel Wright!  Yes, Daniel of the Orange Team fame.  Isn’t that just too sweet!    I knew that were very close friends on the show, but I never imagined they would become a couple.  She told Jay "Daniel was my best friend, is my best friend, and leaving the show we talked for like five, six hour conversations and then, you know, he told me he had feelings."  She added, "Daniel and I have gone through the same thing, I mean, he's gone through an even more intense version of it and I fell in love with my best friend."

I'm worried that showing the contestants in real time on Jay Leno will lessen the surprises on Finale night.  We already know that Shay has dropped 150 pounds and at that time had only three weeks to the Finale.  Daniel is looking great but also had only three weeks left before the live show. Tracey also looked like she was well on her way to being slender for the rest of her life and but had only four weeks left to drop her remaining weight to reach her goal.  At least we'll get some big surprises with the appearance of the first contestants to be sent home.  And of course, the final three - don't think they would let them go on Jay Leno.  If they do, why bother having the live Finale.  But I'll bet ya dimes to dollars they will appear on his show not long after the Finale... at least I hope they do!

Coming up Tuesday, November 24 on the Biggest Loser Second Chance.  Suze Orman will be on the show to talk to the contestants about the connection between health and wealth.  And of course, it's Thanksgiving week which, in addition to turkey,  means football!  We will be treated to Hall of Famer Rod Woodson, who has played for the Steelers, 49ers, Ravens and Raiders. He will lead an NFL challenge which will involve all the weight each of them has lost so far this season. And the weigh-in winner will get an at-home visit from Chef Curtis Stone to show them how to cook healthy meals after they return from the ranch.   If you can't watch the show because your week is just too busy, we'll be here to give your the highlights!
