The cake on the treadmill was too funny! Loved it! I was so happy to see the girls do so well at the weigh-in too.

Re: Days! I've missed Sami too, for quite some time now, not just in the past few weeks. I'm thrilled that we'll be seeing some Sole action soon, especially since it means that Lucas should be turning up again in the not-to-distant future!

Thanks for blogging Ali!

I had just finished saying in my last comment the girls needed to knock the boys down a peg and they did just that so I was soo happy. Im a guy and I get the whole competitive side but that whole challenge was ridiculous, and eating the food, come on, I was hoping they'd trip up those stairs or something because they were just acting so much like children it was kind of making me sick. But again, awesome job from the ladies! Keep taking those little boys down!!

I wasn't that sad to see Dan go. In the beginning he was one of my favorites, but I think he got too cocky. I think he was too laid back this week...expecting the guys to beat the girls and save his butt. He definitely came out of his shell a bit too much. I hope the girls continue to do well. Ali looks AMAZING...and so does Kelly. They just need to have the confidence that they will make it to the finale...and work super hard. Jillian has always had a winning team. :)

I love the silver ermine -- I hope he comes back to do makeovers every season! I recapped all the new looks, including Ali's catwalk -- hotcha! http://wadeonbirmingham.com/2008/03/24/weight-and-see-that-not-so-fresh-feeling/

You are so fabulous on BL, Ali - keep up the good work! And YAY for all of the stories on Days. I think the writers are doing a terrific job - even tho I was sad to see Belle and Shawn sail off into the sunset. I can't wait to see how things are going to play out with Sami, Lucas, the twins, EJ and now NICOLE!!

Congrats to Ali and Kelly for topping the weigh-in. I too don't agree with the boys behaviour at the challenge. A side from that, every one looks AMAZING. I can't wait for the season finale, I'm just dying to see how everyone looks.

I agree with the previous comment, the writers at Days are doing an excellent job. I can't wait to see Sami, EJ and the twins back on screen. Looking forward to the return of Lucas, and now Nicole. Very, excited to see all four of you on screen, it should make for an interesting story line.

Keep up the good work!!! Love you on Days and TBL.

Er, I meant Brittany's, but you know what I mean

I'm glad the ladies kicked butt. It's about time the guys, were getting too cocky. As for Days, it seems like forever since there has been a scene with Sami and EJ. I miss the banter between them and am looking forward to more scenes with you Ali. Keep up the good work!

I LOVE the title of this week's entry. I'm enjoying TBL, really appreciate you on it, as you continue to relate well to the contestants. In the editing, I wish they'd show more of the workout, nutrition, etc and a little less of the interviews on the gamesmanship. I think that's where the "average" viewer can hopefully learn a few tips. I also wish some of the built-in commercials (Oatmeal, Subway, etc) were a little less obvious!

As for Days, I'm behind in my viewing by a week or so but it's so obvious when Sami is not on screen!! While I am looking forward to Lumi, EJami, Sole all returning, I have to say, I am truly thrilled to have Ari Zuker back!! She's a great actress and the character of Nicole is so complex, many different storylines can develop from here.

Ali,
Loved watching BL again. I get so upset when somebody goes, like I'll miss them. I loved Dan and his background (video gamer that never left the house...I know so many of those!) and I am so proud of what he did with himself!
Thanks too, for mentioning DOOL! Yay! You remembered! I can't wait to see the old Sami back, and hopefully the old EJ back too. Nicole can only spice things up because it has been pretty blah with the Bo sick storyline. Lucas can stay gone for just a little while longer because Sami reverts to victim when she has to answer to Lucas. I just miss my Sami, that is all. Last year, I couldn't find her!
Have a great afternoon!

Hi, Ali,

Please pass on to the producers that it would be nice to see some challenges that do not involve upper body strength or foot speed. Those are two things that are unfairly tipped to the men's advantage. The challenges were better and more fair last season. Women could, and did, actually win them once in a while. However, the only way a woman will ever win on Biggest Loser is if the men either get too complacent and fall below the yellow line or if no real alliances are formed in a given season.

I apologize for the vent this week, but Tuesday's episode left me with a lasting impression of Bob's "boys" as just that: immature, graceless, tactless jerks. Much as I have always loved Dan's spirit, his attitude since the trip to Vegas has made me desirous of his downfall. I feel that Ali finally saw the guys as the snakes they are; not her friends or allies. The women were vindicated.

I love watching you on BL!!! Though I missed you like crazy on Days, I'm glad you got to spend quality time with your son :) Keep up the great work.

Ali...you are amazing. I remember watching you on Days when I was 10 years old. I give you major props for being a MOMMY, Actress, Wife, and Host of the BL...I don't know how you do it...The BL last night was so funny..It was great to see more into the contestants lives (like with the whole cake thing) It seems like all we usually see is the challenges, weigh-ins,workouts...so it was nice to see another side.

Hi Ali

TBL's been great! Those girls really kicked a$$ this week! WTG!!

I've missed you on Days, but haven't missed the rapist, so it's all good. I'm glad you'll be back onscreen with Ari soon. Sole rules!! Can't wait for Bryan to return too!

So glad to hear you enjoyed some time to yourself and your family Ali. I have to admit though that I have missed my favorite couple EJami on DOOL. So glad you are back. I'm curious how things will play out with Ari back as Nicole. I hope she lights a fire under Sami to bring her back to her roots and help her realize how she feels.

I would love to see back to back Biggest Loser:Men & Biggest Loser:Women shows! Occasionally throw in a little interaction/challenges between the two groups, but each group would face their own weigh-ins and eliminations. Since sponsorship seems to be up, and I know these sponsors would love to step up to the challenge, they could offer up two awards: maybe even a million each!!!

I would also like to see more trainer tips & maybe some former contestants occasionally appear with tips and updates!

I have really been encouraged by this show! I have lost 130 pounds to date and I am within 59 pounds of my goal weight. Watching The Biggest Loser shows really have encouraged me SOOOOO much in my journey! Thanks!

Ali, I think you are doing an AWESOME job hosting the show. It's pretty obvious that you really connect with the participants.

I'm ecstatic that the "boys" were brought down a notch and they found out they weren't immortal! Dan did seem to get super cocky since Vegas, and I was happy to see him go home. But I was thrilled to see the girls not only win, but kicked a$$! It's gonna be a couple of hard wiegh ins to go...I hope they make it!
As for Days...your presence has been missed, but you deserve a break now and then. Extremely excited to have Nicole bring the Sami I know and love back. She has been missed...not been a fan of "stepford sami". Definately looking forward to seeing what can be done with Ejami, because there is an undeniable chemistry there.
Thanks for all your hard work!

Alison--who made that beautiful black dress you wore on this week's episode?

Hey -- Part two with this week's episode, sponsored by the LOLcats. http://wadeonbirmingham.com/2008/03/28/weight-and-see-i-can-has-cake/ Hey Ali, here's my question: Is it just me, or do you dress to match the winning team at each week's weigh-in?

It is so devastating without you and james on screen. You guys rock. Love the chemistry. We need more of the uncanny love story scenes.

Ali u look awesome brittany u suck and i find u very ugly not a hot mamma as u claim.

Ali I think you are awesome and I hope you remain the host of The biggest Loser. You are the best host for the job.

That was the best outfit you had all season - slimming and stylish. Please stop wearing those tunics or flared tops ( where they flare out at the bottom). It doesn't do anything for your womanly curves. ;)

Thanks for checking in Ali! Love your amazing strength-stamina and overall good works on BL-Days and your genuine kindness within community.

Oh yeah, "you look "mar-va-lous!"

my admiration to you for doing all you do. Don't know how you keep up with it all. Please don't tell me you go home and make great fantastic meals on top on what all else you do. Am loving Days right now, your scenes with James were fantastic, some of the best acting, raw emotions to be seen in a long time. You guys are always good, but this was really awesome. Hope the writers will let you and James be the super couple as you two have a unique chemistry that totally lights up and captures the screen. At any rate, it has been great watching and also the rest of the cast have been right up there too. Guess writers and stars working that well together, gives us what we need and want, Great Days of our Lives. Thanks again.

Hi Ali,

Love you on the Biggest Loser! I also love you on Days. I can't wait to see Sami and EJ become the super couple that I know they can be!

Best Wishes!

Hi, Ali,
I visit this blog every day, hoping to see that you've written a new one.
When will you? It has been two months now.... I am very interested in your comments regarding both 'Days' and 'Biggest Loser'. And I love watching you on the soap. You are wonderful!
Carolyn B.

I just think that you are so amazingly beautiful in this photo. I have been a fan of Days and have watched religiously for the last 15 years. You are by far my favorite. You are such a beautiful lady...and your pregnancy now makes you even more beautiful...congratulations!!! Take care.
