I completely agree. I stopped watching Biggest Loser because I got tired of the yelling at the clients but mostly, I hated the elimination procedure. All the people there, really needed help. It's not the same as a game show where the prize is a lot of money. In that case, it doesn't matter if they're eliminated or not. In these people's case, it could be life or death, not just extra money. I also hated the weigh-in sessions.Quote:

I liked the change of location and the new treatment of 6 months constant care. While it's all encompassing to leave your life for 6 months I think Ronnie had the quote of "6 months for a lifetime"--or something to that effect. He is right. It seemed that they lost more weight and kept it off for at least 3 months post facility. I'd assume in 6 months you are going to learn more and break old habbits better. For these people it means the difference between life and death. The new trainers were fairly blah, but I did like the young male trainer alot--probably my fav so far in the series. He was very supportive yet firm and seemed to try to connect on a personal life coach type of level as well--even helping Debbie with her social issues. Agree with above statements that perhaps Debbie had some abuse in her past, she has all the typical characteristics of someone dealing/hiding a horrible situation. Also agree with posters that the female trainer and lifecoach woman were straight out of the Jane Fonda era and while they might get results (and that's what counts) as a viewer I found them very uninteresting.
Her name is Beverly Perfect. I had to rewind 2 or 3 times to make sure I was reading that correctly.Quote:

I wonder if the types of treatment lengths/locations were choices participants had options between, or if based on locations that's were they went. For many people, leaving home for 6 months wouldn't be an option. As far as fairness between the locations/groups, since this isn't a competition not sure it effects the outcome of the overall season. The viewers still are seeing the struggles and obstacles that are being dealt with but are given perspectives of different treatments available. Sure seems that it would be easier to go the 6 month at the facility route though if you could afford being away from home that long. Do we know if the remaining participants going to HH will also stay on site for the full 6 months?Quote:
