“the happiest thing you can think of x 1000” – Coleen
Wow. Talk about drama, huh? I thought that was just part of my day job! Having now been through several seasons I am often reminded how important it is to put things in perspective. Bill, Julie, Neil (season 4), not to mention the emotion we saw from the boy s in blue in Season 5, all talked about how extraordinary this journey is. Being a part of the Biggest Loser is such an overwhelming experience.
It’s pretty tough on me, and I’m not there every day. And the contestants are living it 24/7. Remember those intense friendships you developed at summer camp when you were a kid? It’s like that only a lot more. Sometimes it’s tough to understand why they do the crazy things they do on the show, or why they take things so personally and get so emotional, but you gotta remember what they’re going through – and how much more crazy and brutal and intense it is than real life. And at the end of it all, weight loss is an emotional journey for most people. There is so much underneath the obvious reasons people are on the Biggest Loser campus, turning to Bob and Jill for help. I’m not here to justify anything or anyone, and if you know me at all, you know I’m not going to take sides, but I just thought it’d be appropriate to include some of the insight I’ve gotten into the world of reality competition shows since becoming part of the Biggest Loser family.
That being said: who else wanted to give Stacy a big hug!!! I can’t tell you how many members of the crew commented on how inspiring she is, and we love Ed, but to see Stacy get eliminated in week one, and do so well at home, and then come back to create one of the most high-octane challenges I’ve ever witnessed, well, that’s impressive. She is a rock star. Seriously, the step up challenge and the stair challenge from Season 4 are probably the 2 best challenges I’ve seen.
I can’t wait to see everyone at the Finale. Brady looks fantastic, and they still have like 6 weeks to get ready for the big day!! So, I can tell you now, the eliminated players are going to have some steep competition. It’s going to be awesome.
Hi Ali! First of all, HUGE fan of DOOL, huge!!! Every since High School and having to program the VHS (remember those?) so I could catch the episode after school. Anywho, I’m usually not one to comment on blogs and to be frank, didn’t even know you had one (sorry!!!) but I had to find a place to voice my opinion, had to!!! I’m going nuts here!!! I'm sooooo disappointed in what the show has turned into. I absolutely dislike with a passion how Vicky, Brady and Heba are "playing the game"; they're nasty and full of hate. Vicky is sooo malicious!!! It’s literally difficult to watch the show now; it’s intended to motivate people!!! It's intended to be positive!!! It’s intended to teach people a thing of two but now, it’s, it’s like I’m watching a dream scene from your soap opera full of drama and deceit!!! Is Stefano going to appear soon??!!??
The above comment is what I was also so moved to write about! I have watched every single episode of every season and I have NEVER seen anything like Vicky. I hope she is at home mortified watching herself as we see her, but I doubt it. If I had been a friend of hers I would be distancing myself real fast now, but I also doubt I would have been a friend of hers in the first place. This does make the show difficult to watch and if she were to win the whole prize I could see her being greeted with a big roar of BOOS!!!!!
I, also, want to add my disgust at how the producers can allow the venom to pour forth from Vicky's mouth week after week and just allow it to happen. Good TV? I don't think so. And what's wrong with the others that they can't speak up & tell her what a vile creature she really is. Are they all sheep? I've never, never, watched a more nasty, hateful & wicked contestant on ANY reality show. Vicky is right up there with Johnny Fairplay. I sincerely hope she doesn't get a dime. Wretched, wretched woman. She should be ashamed of herself but probably doesn't have the mental capacity to grasp the concept.
Dido to the above comments! Vicky,Brady,Heba and Ed make me want to NEVER watch The Biggest Loser again!What poor,poor role models they are.You can see the evil leaking out of Vicky, and Heba's foul mouth is disgusting. Phil and Amy you don't have to worry what America thinks of you, your GOODNESS shows through.As for the "THE FOUL FOUR" I hope they don't receive a penny.
Hi Ali,
I have to agree with the viewers. I love your show but Vicky, Brady and Heba are taking away from the spirit of the show. I've never seen adults act like this. I do like you and what you bring to the show especially your sense of fairness by not taking sides but let’s be real. This journey can be tough physically and emotional but I have never seen any other contestants act this malicious and immature on your show. It really is distracting for the viewers. I don’t know how much more I can take. Maybe NBC could show more clips of you, the contestants and trainers and cut Vicky and Heba out. Now that would be worth watching. Please don’t make excuses for Vicky and Heba there really are no excuses for their behavior. My kids even know that! Millie
Hi Ali,
I also agree with the above comments. I have been watching the show since the first episode. But I'm so disgusted with this seasons contestants. They are suppose to be role models, to help people like me(overweight) to strive for the very best and to know if they can do it, I can do it. But I don't even want to watch anymore. I can't stress enough how literally upset that I am over the way they are acting. This show is about people losing weight and keeping it off. This is the first season that it's not about that it's about strictly the money and being down right hateful. I don't know if you can do anything about this, I know you don't take sides but come on don't let this ruin the show. And from the previews that I saw from next weeks episode is that she put a revenge note on Amy's door. Well there is no excuse for that and should not be tolerated and Vicky should be kicked off the show. Come on NBC enough is enough. WE THE PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTED AND DONT WANT TO WATCH ANYMORE.
Dawn
Ali, I sent a note to the other blog, I hope you can print that too. I agree with all that every one has said. I too am disgusted and don't want to watch because of how evil, vile and hateful Vicky, Heba, Brady and of course now that Ed is back he will be right in there because he doesn't have a brain and only can do what Heba lets him. Thank you, Coleen
Vicky, Heba and Brady are the worst kinds of people. They are so evil but they think they can do no wrong. It's really disgusting. Bob should be ashamed to have them on his team. I was so happy to see that Brady was eliminated. I wish he could have taken his jerk of a wife and his best friend, big mouth Heba with him. NBC should kick them off to prove a point to everyone that this game is not suppose to be played this way. I think the ratings would sky rocket if they got rid of the remaining two players and did not let them partipate in the finale. They do not deserve it. GET RID OF VICKY AND HEBA.
My heart goes out to Amy...the preview of next week looks like she is bullied by Vicky. I think life should be lived by the golden rule...treat others as you yourself would want to be treated. I am appalled by the cruelty and meanness...what a shame!
I hope the producers of the show take these comments into heart and avoid giving any air time to Vicky or Heba . . . no one wants to see them
I so agree with everything being said about Vicky, Brady and Heba. They do not belong on this show. They do not deserve to be helped. Send them to a shrink but send them home. They should be embarrassed at their behavior. I can only imagine how their kids will turn out, too bad for them to have such horrible role models. Bob has made comments on Vicky's behavior and I'm sure he sees it in the others. Please kick them off!!!
Seriously!!!...WHO do we need to talk to or write to that will take heart to the comments that are being posted here??? Does NBC care that they are losing viewers? I guess not because the episodes continue to be more about the hate that Vicky has in her heart than weight loss! I bet JELLO would care that their advertising investment is not reaching as many viewers...I bet EXTRA gum would care...and all the other products that have "built in commercials" in the show. If Biggest Loser fans can't get any satisfaction on this forum, perhaps we need to be talking to the paying sponsors of the show!
I turned off the show last night and will NOT turn it back on until next season. I'm very sad about this, because I love Ali and the trainers.
Those people are just vile, and I can only hope they read these comments and become truly embarrassed, and make a change in their personalities as well as their bodies
I know that this is a competition, but as far as Vicky, Heba and Brady, it's just poor sportsmanship. They are wicked, ruthless and their comments are not needed. I really feel for Amy and Phil, they were there for the right reasons. I hope that the producers do something about Vicky's attitude, because it makes me want to turn my television off every time that nut job Vicky is on.
Ok, I don't normally comment on public blogs, but I think TBL viewers are WAY over-reacting here. Yes, Vicky, Heba, and Brady were out of line. That Vicky is just plain mean (glad she's not my wife!). But what do you expect the television producers to do? They don't know going into a show how cast members are going to act. They don't have a crystal ball to see into the future. Plus, we don't KNOW for sure how Vicky came across to them during casting. She may have had them totally fooled with her "sweet act." Secondly, the shows are already edited. I can assure you as someone who works in the entertainment business that step was done weeks ago. So any complaints you send NBC aren't going to change anything at this point. Thirdly, I don't understand why people are so offended about Vicky to the point of not watching the rest of the season. Surely, in the age of "tolerance" where we tolerate practically every bad behavior known to humanity, we can tolerate Vicky's deviousness on a show that is one of the only "clean" ones left on television. Plus, Vicky has presented a great opportunity for me to point out to my children what poor sportsmanship looks like. They can see plain as plain how wicked and ruthless she is on the show (I'm not making any judgments about how Vicky is in real life because I don't KNOW her). My kids can see how the various people on the show play the game and the virtues of people like Phil and his wife over the "Foul Four." Ok, that's it. PEACE.
I totally agree with all the above as far as Vicky, Heba and Brady. Who does Vicky think she is to threaten the competitors? I think she should make a sincere apology and be kicked off the show. This kind of actions are really bad for the show....
Biggest Loser has gone from Classy and real to Trashy and stupid. How could producers allow someone so vile as Vicky on the show. Most everyone I know and myself are nto watching anymore unless something is done about her and her "posse" .
I'm sorry but I have always enjoyed this show up until this season. Heba is a foul mouthed irritating bully to everyone on the show even her own husband. Vicky is the same. It's not entertaining and not even something I want to watch. The fact that they are allowed to act this way with absolutely no consequences for their actions week after week irritates me to no end and basically they are rewarded for their actions week after week. Stacy did such a wonderful job last night and my heart broke for her when she didn't get to come back. Thank goodness Amy came to her senses and voted for Brady but now she has to face Vicky's nonsense next week. Stress is not condusive to healthy weight loss which is what the show is supposed to be about, not about a bunch of women who are supposed to be adults acting like spoiled rotten teenagers.

I have to agree with the majority on this one. It has been very difficult to get into this season of The Biggest Loser because of Vicky, Brady, and Heba. I was so inspired by last season and the one before by everybody's positive attitudes, the strong connections between the contestants, and the sportsmanship of both teams. This season has been such a disappointment because of the poor attitudes, poor sportsmanship, and childish behavior displayed by Vicky, Brady, and Heba. I think Vicky should be kicked off the show and forced to make a public apology to the other contestants, as well as the viewers. It is really a shame that the strong messages that have been associated with The Biggest Loser in the past seasons is not being seen this season. This season has been by least favorite thus far and I hope the next season brings back the true meaning of what this show is supposed to represent to the viewers. Maybe the next season should go back to single contestants and take a break from families.

I am writing to say that I agree 100% with all the above comments made about Vicky. I watch a lot of reality T.V. and she is worse then any contestant I have seen . This is not Big Brother or Survivor...it is the biggest Loser where people are coming to get into healthier bodies and yes it is emotional. They do not need a hateful, mean spirited, ugly personality like Vicky around!!! I watch the show because I care about the other contestants but would sure like it if Vicky was gone. Heba and Brady should be ashamed of themselves too. I just can not believe that they would want to represent themselves on national T.V. like that. This is supposed to be a family show. Vicky should be asked to leave the show she is poison in that house and all the other contestants should not have to put up with that. On that note Biggest Loser you should be ashamed of yourselves for letting her stay. I am sure she makes good T.V. but isn't this supposed to be about weight loss. Why doesn't Bob speak up to her? Julian helps her team deal with their emotions...Seems to me Vicky needs some help with hers! In the end she is the one that has to live with herself. I Feel bad for her children hope they never watch it!!
Vicky & Heba are quite the pieces of work, aren't they? They remind me of some of the spiteful vipers I've encountered on Days boards over the years, lol. That said, I take comfort in knowing that karma will bite them in the a$$ at the most appropriate moment in the future :)
I miss watching Sami & Lucas on Days. I'm counting the days until she's out of the boring WPP storyline (no offense to GG, but I don't see the point in having Sami with a Lucas-clone, when the real one is back in Salem with nothing to do).
I think something that people have overlooked is how the game changed last night. One of Vicky's puppets got kicked off...when she thought he would be safe. My mouth hit the floor when Amy C. revealed her vote. I guess I kind of saw it coming from her comments before voting...but that took a LOT of courage. I think Amy C. just showed the "blue" team that this game has a lot of twists and turns and when you think something is going to happen...sometimes you're wrong. I was wondering after I saw the previews for next week if Amy C will switch trainers again since Vicky will obviously have it out for her. I think that having four on Jillian's team and three on Bob's team would be a HUGE swing in the game. I also love how Bob acknowledges Vicky's behavior...gotta wonder if he is doing anything about it. Just some thoughts. :) Thanks for the blog.
I just wanted to say i agree with the above statements. Vicki attitude is horrible and should not be on the show it suppose to be about families not enemies. I hope the producers realize what she is doing to the show.
I am also a huge fan of yours and have been for a long time i have watched DOOL for over 20 years probably.
Don't dispair. Karma will come.It already started with Brady gone, thanks to Amy and her 'coming out' to show her distaste for their actions.She has been in a very
precarious position,( in the viper pit). Don't know how this will pan-out, but Vicky
has shown herself to be what she is, & only will attract the same after she leaves. Thanks Ali, you are definately the right woman for this job. It must be very difficult to remain so level headed with all this around you & raging hormones too !! Take care girl, bty,,i have watched since the first dool show in 65 and it is my family. lol. Now that is a problem ! lol Bless you and yours.
I was wondering if the producers intentionally had them vote right away last night in the hopes that Amy would vote Brady off instead of giving Vicky and Heba an hour to persuade or bully her otherwise. I think the producers realized that having a final four of Vicky, Brady, Heba, and Ed would not be good for the show and they used this opportunity to try and swing it the other way. Because the contestants do the "real" weigh-in beforehand they already knew who was going to be in the bottom two and that Amy would be the swing vote.
It's so good to see that others feel the same way. I get so frustrated with those three. All I can say is that if Brady, Heba or Vicky win anything this season, I will never watch the show again. The win should go to one of the other contestants that really deserve it.
While I do not like the "Foul Four" and agree this the majority on this, the one thing that has to be considered is that this was a week if not weeks ago that this was done. I also hope that Vicky is not in the finals as well as Heba and that they are watching at home disappointed & ashamed by their behavior. Ali, love your blog. Thank you
I was sooooo happy Brady was voted off. Good for Amy. She looked out for herself!! As for Vicky it's funny how she mentioned Phil wasn't a good role model. I am sorry but neither is she. I thought the focus of this show was to lose weight and learn things about yourself and your behaviors and dig deep down inside yourself. The money is an added bonus. Truthfully though Vicky has completely missed the boat on all of those things and is in it to win money which is sad because there are people there that really deserve to win but not her. Heba is another one too who is definitely not someone I would want on my team. I really don't care for either one of those women and truthfully hope they are taught a lesson and don't win a dime!!! Go Colleen..the underdog all the way but the woman who really deserves it the most!!!
I am pretty sure the episodes we are currently watching were tapes a few weeks, if not months, ago. Remember these people are sent home to continue their weight loss for a few weeks prior to the finale. So technically there is nothing the producers can do to "kick someone off" because what is being shown was done weeks ago. Unfortunatley, they chose to have someone on the show like Vicky that is not on the show to improve her life, she's there strictly for the money and she has stated this. No doubt she will regain her weight and not have learned a darn thing when this is over. She is a vile, mean spirited and disgusting specimen of a woman. Brady should be embarrassed by her behavior and his own for supporting and encouraging her. Their children have two pathetic people as parents. Then there's Heba...good grief. What a foul-mouthed piece of trash. I literally had to turn away from the TV last night. I was mortified by their actions. They do not deserve to be there. They have turned this into a show I no longer have an interest in watching...until they are gone. How sad. This show used to be about health, wellness and improvement...but its been turned into a show about greed, backstabbing and trashy behavior. I feel for the rest of the contestants for having to put up with that hateful energy while they are trying to improve their lives.
I cannot get over how many people cannot stand Vicky (and Heba and Brady too). I wrote a blog post on www.tivomom.blogspot.com about an "I hate Vicky" club (jokingly sort of) and I had over 175 comments. There are a lot of people out there who are mad at how certain people have turned this show into being about the money and not about getting healthy and losing weight. Yes in seasons past people wanted to win but the focus was on the weight loss; not about the game play. So disappointing to have such an inspiring show ruined by a few bad seeds. Read the comments if you get a chance. It will shock and amaze you.
As a long time fan I am disgusted that the producers allow this type of behavior. Heba and Vicky are rude, overbearing and snide. They do nothing but stir the pot and cause trouble. I would not allow my children to make the type of horrible comments these immature people make. I have been working out at the same health club since your show started. There has always been a great deal of discussion about the show, diet, exercise, trainers players etc. I can tell you that in the last month no one is talking because no one is watching anymore. Everyone I know who watched the show was interested in the inspirational stories of people bettering their health and lives--you have had some amazing people on the show. Who wants to watch insecure mean people? The gamesmanship has always been my least favorite part of the show but I know that it is necessary. These people are not playing a game they are just trying to crush others.
Ali,
Are you pregnant???
I LOVE you Ali, and your sweet sincere personality. I love that you get emotional and show real feelings. I didn't know about your blog and am so excited about it. While Heba and especially Vicky drives me nuts too, I am still quite entertained by the show - it is the highlight of my week. I still get motivated to lose weight, and I still want to be Jillian when I grow up. :) I LOVE Jillian. Thank you so much for having this blog. I am an official reader now - you are fantastic!!

have been watching the show for several seasons and have been so impressed by these individuals making a difference in their lives and those around them. This season "I have a heavy heart" because I am so upset by the "mean spirited and cruel" actions and words by Heba, Vicky and Brady. They are terrible role models for America and our children. How can we expect children to get along when these adults are mean, cruel liars. I have absolutely no respect for them and feel that they are very "small people". I hope they read all of these blogs to see just how negative their energy is on America. They truly do come across as "miserable fat people" who are not playing a fair game, but a personally destructive game as the expense of others. They shoud be ashamed of their behaviors and should step back when this is all said and done to evaluate themselves. I do love Bob and Alison and would hope that going forward such behaviors can be addressed or viewership will definitely decline. We need to promote positive role models.
I have never written in on one of these blogs but after watching last nights show Nov. 11 I was totally disgusted. While I love the show and the hope and inspiration that it brings to everyone when they watch it
and how they try and impliment the diets and exercise.
I was very upset and the anger and complete lack of respect and or adult behavior that Vicki displayed.
She and here husband have preached that they want to inspire their kids, I hope that their children didn't watch how the parents acted like two complete idiots.
I now know why Vicki gained all the weight she did, she hates herself and anyone that may have a positive outlook, I look forward to her being voted off next.
The producers watched how her husband-Brady threatened Phil should have kicked him off right then and there, he got what he deserved and she is next.
I hope that next season you will screen the contestants for a mental evaluation since it looks like Vicki sure could have used on.
Still watching for now...but ets hope the negative stuff ends it ruins the positive message of the show.

I hope that next season you will screen the contestants for a mental evaluation since it looks like Vicki sure could have used one.
Still watching for now...but lets hope the negative stuff ends, it ruins the positive message of the show.
Wow what a show last night. Talk about a couple of totally angry fat people. Vicki and Brady should aspire to be positive like Phil and his wife, I was tempted to shut off the show after the attitude that Vicki displayed, she truly is an ugly person inside and out.
I do hope that she is the next person voted out it would give me a reason to watch with some hope. Shame on NBC for letting Brady threaten Phil, he is no role model to anyone.
Go Coleen.
Love Bob and Jillian they truly are inspirational.
Thank god so many other people feel the same way about those three. That smirk on Vicki's face makes me feel sick and Heba? OMG- she is just nasty and loud and rude. The main thing that bothers me about all three of them is that they are not there to help themselves and they took the places of people who could have used this opportunity to change their lives. I understand the producers have no power over how the participants act, but they certainly have enough footage that they are choosing how to edit each episode- they are making the choice to turn this show into something I am embarrassed to say I watch. I used to get so excited to know I had this recorded to watch while working out the next day, and now I fast forward through every part with those three in it- so there is very little to watch. Everything is negative and icky- and honestly, makes me feel like snacking! lol. One word sums up this season- yuck.
I am so disgusted in Vicky. She should be a role model for her children, and her behavior is disgusting. I really hope she gets the boot. It was hard for me to watch this. She acts worst than my teenage daughter!
I am also one of those people who has never written on a blog but I feel strongly enough to forge ahead. I have been a faithful viewer of the show since the first season. It has been my inspiration to eat properly and head to the gym. But Vicki, Heba, and Brady have ruined this season and I highly doubt that changing their lives will be the result from their participation. They are definitely not an inspiration. Please let the producers know that in future seasons, the 'trash' talk needs to have consequences for the contestants like Vicki and Heba. To Colleen, Amy C and the rest of the black team ladies - way to go and keep up the good work. Taking the high road and keeping focused on what is important is always the best way to go.
I am so glad that I found this blog and am so glad to find so many people feeling the same way about Vicky and her blue team of puppets. I was so happy and proud of Amy for changing her vote and watching out for herself, because soon as they didn't need her, she'd be gone. I thought it was hilarious that Brady was voted off and the look on Vicky's face---Priceless. She has dug her own grave and has alienated most of the players and wouldn't be surprised if the rest didn't follow suit with the black team. Just shows that being mean and nasty doesn't get you where you need to be and if it does, well there's always Karma you have to deal with. I knew the moment that she didn't follow through with the challenge to see her family if she won what kind of person she was. I'm pretty sure this is how she is in real life, because anyone else would care what millions of people watching the show would think of them. To Ali, Jillian and Bob, I love you guys! You are such an inspiration to so many people on the journey of getting healthy and fit. Everytime I'm on the treadmill and feel the need to hang on I can hear Jillian screaming at me to get them off..it's great! Can't wait for next week.
I also agree with EVERYTHING that everyone has said so far. I never go on these things either but I had to find some place that I could voice my frustration about Vicky, Brady and Heba (and now Ed too I'm sure). Anytime any one of those 4 talks I get this nasty feeling and want to strangle them through my TV!!!! They're all so NASTY and MEAN!!! Thank goodness that Brady got voted off last night! Way to go Amy!! I have been disgusted with Vicky ever since the water slide episode where she just gave up in round 1, and it's just gotten worse ever since. She says she wants to inspire her kids....well i hope they DO watch these shows and see how NOT to act. Those are some vicious people who clearly are miserable and just take it out on everyone else. They have completely taken the inspiration out of this show and I feel bad for any 1st time Biggest Loser watchers that have to see this. This show inspired my husband to lose over 45lbs this year and now this season he doesn't even want to watch it. He does because I make him, strictly so we can hopefully see the look on Vicky's face when she gets voted off! And it needs to happen ASAP! The only reason I keep watching is because I'm anxiously awaiting Vicky's bad karma to come around and kick her in the butt. And I really hope someone with real inspiration, real motivation and a real pure heart like Colleen, Michelle, Amy or Renee wins and becomes an inspiration like Ali last year! And let me just say, I hope Phil and Amy know that they are real inspirations to their kids and they should be proud of themselves. I seriously want to give them both a big hug and I don't even know them! Vicky, Brady, Heba and Ed...you should be ashamed of yourselves and I feel worse knowing that there are people like you in this world. I feel sorry for your kids/future kids and pray that they have some inspirational people like Phil and Amy in their lives to show them what it means to be a good, respectable and tactful person who carries themselves with some dignity-because clearly those 4 certainly don't know how to! Go black team and Colleen!!!!
Please tell Vicky that Beauty starts from within and no matter how much she loses and how good she will look on the outside .......
Please tell Vicky that Beauty starts from within and no matter how much she loses and how good she will look on the outside .......
I wanted to commend Amy C. for her bravery.... She did herself proud and the rest of us by making her choice to eliminate Brady. She did not follow suit in the hate and malice that has become a part of what was once known as the "blue team". Way to go Amy!! It is because of her heart and soul which is the staple of The Biggest Loser that I will come back and watch again next week and continue to root for the "black team + Amy C."
ok 1st off I'm 30yrs old 5 foot 100 pounds and only been big when I was pergent with my boys . I gained 60 pounds had 9 pound babys and it took me about 6 months to lose the weight and now Im still 100 pounds after 2 1/2 yrs.I watch the show because I makes me feel good to see people losing weight. I dont like to see people talk that way to anyone. You are all doing your best to lose weight and Phil didnt do nothing wrong the 4 are making me not want to watch the show no more after what like 4 yrs. I would hate to miss seeing the end of the final to see who one and I hope its not the ones that are on the show right now I want Stacy to win she did a great job. I wanted to tell everyone what I look like because I hate being 100 pounds and I get alot of you make me sick and she had a 9 pound baby no way and I wished there was a show on how to gain weigh because I would be the 1st to want to be on it. I hope at the people are nicer on the next season if not Im not watching no more By the way Ali I love DAYS i DONT WATCH like I use to but you can go with out for a while and still know whats going on. but on the Biggest Loser you can't and Im going to miss thatjennifer from Pinconning Michigan
I have watched every episode since the Biggest Loser came on the air. I watch not only for the entertainment of television but for the inspiration I usually get. Unfortunately, the inspiration has taken a back seat to the drama and out right cruelty. Vicky, Heba, and Brady are so juvenile, that I feel like I am watching a bad teen reality show. They obviously were not raised or live in a respectful home themselves. Their antics have diminished the success of all of the other contestants. Bob needs to talk some sense into them.
I wish all of the other contestants as well as the previous continued success.
wow! that was a really drama packed episode! i love phil and amy (being from spartanburg) and i think they did a great job and would've love it if one of them got back on but that didnt happen. stacy gets all my props on last night's episode! she did GREAT!
coleen is going ot go so far in this game and in life. i love her so much! just keep watching....
go Days and the BL!
ali you are my role model!
*haha i (also) love exclamation marks!

I could not wait to get on this site to voice my disappointment in what is happening to this show. I have watched TBL since day one years ago! I love Ali and have watched her on Days since she was 15 years old. I absolutely adore her and wish her family the best of luck with the blessing they have been given. On a not-so-lighter note, I am totally disgusted with Vicky and Heba. Brady was our favorite from the beginning. My hubby and I always pick a favorite to root on during the show. But let me tell you that I have lost all respect for him and was sooooo happy he was voted off last night. I wanted to see Vicky cry so badly. I am usually so excited and emotional when I watch this show, my hubby makes fun of me because I cry during every episode. Not this season :( I am angry and upset and find myself having negative feelings every week. This show is supposed to send positive vibes. Instead I feel nothing but hatred and anger after every episode. I feel like I'm watching the Real World on MTV!! That sucks. I used to love this show and look forward to watching it every week. Now, I dread to see who Heba and Vicky are going to gang up on. It's like they haven't left high school. They are both very immature and insecure in ways that teenage girls act. Heba should wait to have kids until she grows up. And Vicky needs all kinds of psychological help. She is the most vindictive woman I have ever seen. And to have someone like her on this show is unacceptable. If any of those four people make it to the finals, I will NOT watch. I"m sorry, but they do not deserve to be there. There are people with real character who deserve to be there that were voted off. It's truly upsetting.
i am in agreement with everyone else on the attitudes of vicky, heba, and brady.. they are showing bad sportmanship and ruining a good show. but if we all stop watching, the only thing that will accomplish is getting the show cancelled. i for one don't want that to happen. just hang in there and pray that vicky, and heba are voted off very soon. i hope neither of them gets a red cent in this.
I felt terrible when Ed barely beat out Stacy...she came so close. Good luck to her at home. I was SO glad to see Brady eliminated - hopefully, Vicky and Heba will be next! Their attitudes are DISGUSTING!
I have to agree. Vicky, Brady, and Heba are putting a big damper on this season. I really wanted to see Vicky drop to the bottom and get voted off. Vicky is very immature. Well I'm glad to see Brady go 1 down 2 to go!! This season is very different than any other season and i'm getting tired of the immature attitudes from Vicky and Heba.I'll tell you I'm voting for Coleen to take them all.
If Vicky and Heba remain to the finals both will be stabbing each other in the back. They don't know how to play nice and I can't believe the show has them on.
I know the show probably feels the drama may make it interesting but enough is enough. Vicky and Heba GROW UP!!!! What kind of role model are you two being acting like immature careless evil people!!!
Well hopefully tonight opened Vicky's eyes. Her evil plan would have eventually voted off Amy. Good for you Amy!!! Vicky is such a cruel person…it shows in her words and actions. How can she go to bed with a clear conscience? What a role model for her children. In addition to weight loss, I hope that Church is also on her list because the way she been presenting herself on the show is certainly not very Christian-Like. Go Team Jillian and Bob’s Amy…these four contestants need to go on the represent the show in the finale. They are truly biggest losers in my book.
I am so disgusted with the outcome of this season show. Why can't the rules be changed and dismiss Vicky and Heba for immoral conduct and replace them with someone who deserves to be there. I can see it in Bob that he is not liking the attitude that Vicky has. Vicky and Heba don't deserve to be on TBL at all.
As the saying goes what comes around goes around and Vicky and Heba will have there's in due time.
I know that this show has already taped all of it's episodes and we can't do anything about having Vicky removed from the show. I also realize that Ali, you can't and don't want to take sides of the contestants, but I can tell by your facial expresses every time Vicky opens her mouth you dislike what she says. This show is supposed to inspire people and that casting people can't always get a true feel for a person just from the videos and short interviews they go through. However, I would hope that if Vicky threatens Amy in the next episode in any way I would hope the producers did something about it. It was very brave of Amy to go with her gut on the last elimination. She knew that she had to look out for herself because if it was left to the four people and her on the blue team they would doing nothing short of throwing her under the bus.
Heba & Vicky have added an ugliness to your otherwise informative and fun program. I deleted the most recent episode because I can't stand to look at those foul women and I doubt I'll want to watch it for the remainder of the season.
I have to agree with everyone else here. I know two of the contestants personally, and have heard first hand how these people behaved. Ali, I found it appropriate when you mentioned being at camp as a kid. As I've been watching over the last several weeks I've thought, "I haven't seen this kind of behavior since junior high and high school." That's how immature Brady, Vicky and Heba have acted. Seeing their reactions when Phil was speaking i.e. Brady rolling his eyes, just blew me away. How immature. Grow up guys!!! I have watched each episode of each season and this is the first time I've actually wanted to stop watching the show. I commend Phil and Amy and support them 100%. The only reason I continue to watch is because my friends are on there and no, they are not Phil and Amy. However, I'm very disappointed in the producers for allowing this kind of childish behavior to continue on this show. If it occurs again next season, I most definitely will quit watching. Reality or not, the producers are in control and need to quit showing garbage and get this show back to the quality it originally possessed!
I have watched the show from the first season and love it. I can't wait for the next season. I work out daily and I learn great tips from the show. However, this season has been difficult to watch. The blue team ( Vicki, Brady and Heba) are not there for changing for the good (inside and out) but their true true colors of greed, hate and the ability to be a team player for the greater good, blue or black shows. So with that said, GO BLACK!!!! They are there with heart, mind and soul.
I agree with the majority of the comments. Vicky is ruthless and she is ugly on the inside, it shows on the outside. Same goes with Heba. I am glad Amy stood up for herself and thought about herself like she said her mom told her to do. She was smart with taking that advice b/c even tho she wears a blue shirt, she is not really part of that team. 2 couples and her, its obvious if all the blue are left who is going to be voted off. I am cheering for collene this season!
Amy and the black team should add butter and sugar to the blue team's meals...or inject them with salt, or feed them an anti-diarrhea medicine to make them gain weight. ANYTHING to get rid of those miserable C@s!
I am SO PROUD of Amy for having integrity. I think she saw what was going to happen to her in a few weeks, as well as the vile behavior of her "team" mates. The evil hearts of Vicky and her cronies is ruining the show. Vicky's only priority is herself and the MONEY. Phil and Amy are obviously loving, committed husband and wife and they have already won because they know what is important in life, their family. Everyone else seems to value the gift of health and life that BL offers. PRODUCERS please, please stop showing the hatred of these four people on the show. We watch BL to be inspired and motivated, not to watch people devour each other. If things don't change, I won't continue to be a fan of the show. Great job Stacey, I WAS CHEERING FOR YOU! Let's hope the focus of the show gets back to what it should be, losing weight and changing lives.
Ali,
You just never take sides do you? lol I understand. I could see where Amy was coming from. Vicky shouldn't be mad at her. She was on the other team frist. If anything Amy was never on the blue team. If Vicky should be mad at anyone she should be mad at Heba for making Amy go on the blue team. The game part of this show has always been the hardest. Man Ali how do you do it? You keep a smile on your face as you see things unfold on this show. I know I'd be taking sides but that's just me. keep up the good work.
I think that the "Early voting" was a gift from the NBC producers to us viewers It may have helped enable Amy to vote against the "Biggest Loser Bullies" (aka BLB). This isn't said to diminish the difficulty of Amy's decision. That had to be a painful choice, knowing that she would then become the target of the BLB's cruelty. (Hey, with Phil gone, they have to pick on someone, don't they?) I admire Amy's strength in her decision.
I think the scene with Stacy becoming overcome with emotion was significant. I believe that a good portion of the viewers feel saddened by the actions of the BLBs and the caustic environment that the campus has become. Admittedly, there has been competitive people and game-play in previous seasons (remember Neil drinking roughly 2 gallons of water before a weigh-in?), but there has never been this horrific display of personal attacks and outright hatred for others on the show. It is truly disturbing on many levels. If this is the way that the BLBs behave while the cameras are rolling, I cannot possibly imagine how they conduct themselves off-screen. I think that the biggest thing that saddens me is that parents are supposed to be role-models for their children. How can Vicky and Brady's children possibly learn important lessons of unconditional love, empathy, integrity, and the sense of "do unto others" from parents like these?
Anyway, thanks to Stacy for really excelling at the challenge (I was standing and cheering for her as I watched) and for showing us that she was upset and discouraged by the behavior of the BLBs, I think it echoed the sentiment of many of us at home.
I agree with a lot of what's been said here. I have been watching Biggest Loser since the very first episode and have been a loyal follower since. HOWEVER, this is the first year that I have been absolutely sickened by the "game playing" of those witches Vicky and Heba. Don't think for one second that Brady wasn't in on the "mysterious" 3lb lost either. This is also the first time I can remember not having a favorite. I do like Coleen but the others are so distracting that this once great show is turning into nothing better than a MTV reality show. I can only hope those 2 cancers Vicky and Heba get kicked off next and we can get back to what this show is suppose to be about. And thank God for Amy having the "balls" to do what she did last night because believe me, after the fearsome foursome of Heba, Ed, Vicky and Brady got done eliminating the black team, she'd have been next.
It is so refreshing to see so many people in agreement over the nastiness of Vicky, Brady, Heba and Ed. I have never been happier than I was when Amy voted for Brady. Priceless, truly priceless. I applaud you Amy, you showed great courage and dignity and I know it will not go unrewarded. Vicky's smug attitude made me want to vomit. I could not believe the nerve she had in treating Phil the way she did. She was completely out of line. Good luck black team, I am rooting for you and I hope you will accept Amy into your hearts.
I have been a fan of this show for several seasons and even after the episodes last year that included the antics by Mark and his game playing have been FAR out done this year by Vicky and Heba. They are both nothing more than bullies that need to go home. Amy finally had to courage to stand up for herself and break their hold and their cockiness, perhaps only cracking it for now and it does appear that Vicky does go after her in next weeks episode.
How far will the producers let this go? As long as people keep watching and keep lighting up the message boards giving Vicky and Heba the attention that they do not deserve, they will let it continue. Too bad for Amy. It's called ratings and it is November, which is sweeps month.
Someone in the house needs to stand up to Vicky and Heba and knock them back down a few pegs. Send them home.
Stop giving them the attention that they do not deserve. The show isn't about who can be the meanest and nastiest, it is about getting healthy and these two women are not going to get healthy until they can come to terms with themselves. If they are not happy about their own bodies and lives, this is what feeds their nastiness.
The black team and Amy need to stand strong against these bullies and tell them in no uncertain terms that they cannot get to them. They are trying to get inside their heads and play mind games to pysch them out. Vicky truly was right when she claimed that she needed to see a therapist. She needs more help than weight loss. I feel for her husband and her kids.
I'm done. Too bad too, because I'm doing a weight loss challenge on another forum tied to our love of this show, but..... I'm done. I'm not tuning in next week to see nasty notes, Amy C. crying or listening to more of the beep-beep-beep of Heba's diatribes. I swear, did they get the bleeper from Gordon Ramsey's shows to cover Heba's dialogue, she's disgusting! Can you imagine what her child will sound like when it starts babbling? "I wan my bleep bleep bleep baa baa!" "Change my bleepedy bleepppp diaper!" Sheesh!
It's truly sad that NBC has purposely taken this show in this direction because it truly WAS one of the reality TV exceptions, uplifting, inspiring, and educational. But now, it's no better than Survivor. Actually, it's worse because it presents itself as something it's not and then goes for the ratings by airing this type of filth and NON VALUE ADDED drama.
Even if what Vicky is claiming on her myspace is true and that things are being edited out of context to make her look like a bad person, you can't edit words into people's mouths. The things she and Heba have said flat out, in front of the cameras and the other contestants are unconscionable. Shame on them for saying them and for behaving that way REGARDLESS of the "summer camp" atmosphere and stress and shame on NBC for choosing to give such drivel valuable airtime when they could be using it to uplift and inspire people.
Good bye to what was once a great show...
I am not overweight at all, but I became a fan of show because everyone has areas of weakness and Biggest Loser was about real people standing up courageously and creating real, significant improvement in their lives. Who wouldn't find that touching and inspirational? It wasn't about drama, or watching what people will stoop to for gobs of money, or even about handing over material possessions to unfortunate people, it went beyond all those things. It differentiated itself from other "reality" TV shows. It stood in a category of its own. I fell in love with the show last season because of Ali, Britney and Bernie. They were such wonderful and uplifting spirits and I was rooting for them all so much. I obviously had my favorites, but in a sense I wanted everyone to succeed. I did not harbor negative feelings or wish ill upon anyone. They all seemed to share this common desire to change their lives, and the money was just added incentive to get into the gym - the cherry on top, if you will. I actually felt good about watching the show because in some small way I felt I was contributing (with my viewership) to a show that was making a positive impact in the world.
WHAT A CONTRAST TO THIS SEASON!
I am happy to see there is quite a bit of backlash. I cannot believe that the producers think this is the way to longevity for their show. Look at American Idol, they only have a few weeks in the beginning of watching crazies make fools of themselves and then the shock factor wears off, and watching the crazies gets old and they have to move on to something with more substance.
I used to be so excited to sit down and watch, I would find myself catching up with the TiVo and I would even watch the commercials (which I never do) because I was so eager to see what happens next. Now, I find myself fast-forwarding through most of the show. I don't even have anyone I'm rooting for right now. I like some people, but what could potentially be some great story lines is being overshadowed by the nastiness of Vicky, Heba and Brady(in order of distaste). Even before this episode I was tiring of the Vicky-Heba-Brady antics. But it has truly gone too far. I was wishing and hoping beyond hope that Ed would not win, which is weird because I don't even know anything about him, except that he is Heba's husband and I didn't want to see that negative force become stronger. I felt slightly redeemed when Amy C. voted off Brady. But then immediately my satisfaction wore off when I saw the preview for next week. I honestly had bad dreams because I was so upset by the show (I know, kind of silly, huh?). But I am really done. I value my time and I have a few select shows that I watch religiously and Biggest Loser has amazingly gone from a top-three favorite to a show a probably won't waste my time on, in absolute record time. I will watch through the end of the season and hope for redemption, but it better get out of this dark place in a hurry and rise from the ashes like a glorious phoenix, or else I, like Jackie in VA (and I assume a good amount of the other viewers) will become another FORMER-Biggest-Loser-Fan.
Heba and Vicky HAVE GOT TO GO!!!!!!!
Heba is soooooo over bearing,I can't stand her. And the attitude on
Vicky...what sort of example is she setting for her kids?
.
In regards to Ali's statement, "but you gotta remember what they are going through."....I don't agree with that at all. ALL contestants are going through the SAME thing and with the exception of Heba, Brady and Vicki (the evil three), All are still acting humane towards each other and are inspiring to watch. Biggest Loser has never been so disappointing to watch as it is this season. It only takes one rotten apple to ruin a basket and in this case there were three rotten apples that ruined Biggest Loser. Fortunately were down to on two rotten apples (Heba and Vicki). I don't think Ed is as bad as his wife (poor guy...to have to be married to somebody like that...ugh).
I've never seen so many negative comments about three contestants since the beginning of biggest loser. The producers better wake up or for sure this show will be canceled!
Well Ali???? What are you going to do about this? This is your blog, you are an employee of NBC you have a responsibility to make sure NBC Wakes UP!!! Can you please let us know if we will see a decent show again next season? I am with everyone here.. we will record and watch only the weigh ins for the duration. And, I will be letting the sponsors know what I think about the show. Everyone who really cares should email all the sponsors and complain.
I am so glad I found a place to say that I have to agree with these comments or at least the ones I was able to read there are so many with the same opinions. Vicky is turning this into something like a "Survior" show and that is not what it is about. I agree as well that is getting difficult to watch adults act this way. What is Brady and Vicky teaching their children - that it is okay to bully people and be mean and push them around? They must remember what comes around goes around and this treatment can and will come back to the bite them somehow. I saw the clip of next week's episode and it looks like Vicky is becoming more vandictive when posting a "revenge" note on what looks like Amy's door. This is just plain bullying which is unacceptable in any environment.
I know it's too late for the show to do anything on the situation that we are viewing, but I hope they take a really good look at this situation and how the viewers feel about it and make some changes to future seasons so that this does not happen again.
I watch this show for inspiration and this season I am not getting inspired at all.
Vicky and Heba if by chances you read this blog you two should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!!
I disagree with most here. This is reality TV & with 2 chances at $500 000 there will be game play. Anyways, I love people like Vicky because I love to have somebody to hate. Her clan has no more control so it should be fun watching them leave 1 after another. Without her the show would get boring.
Lou,
You don't know what the H*** your talking about. there is no two chances for $500,000. What show are you watching!
Yes this is reality TV, But people should play the game with some dignity and respect to others. How would you like to be treated the way Heba and Vicky treat people in the real world after all that is as reality you are going to get.
If the show is boring for you don't watch. Some of watch this show for inspiration and not for all the DRAMA!!!!!!!!
Competition is great but being evil and hateful towards others is not called for. Isn't there enough hate in the world as it is?
Lou you can keep your 2 cents worth we don't want to hear you.
wow, heaven forbid anybody disagree with you. sounds like Vicky
I think its the other way around. I think you don't want anybody to call you on it or disagree with you.
Are you another Vicky in the world?
I think its the other way around. I think you don't want anybody to call you on it or disagree with you.
Are you another Vicky in the world?
I think its the other way around. I think you don't want anybody to call you on it or disagree with you.
Are you another Vicky in the world?
Lou,
If you think that Vicki's behavior is entertaining then you must have some issues....No doubt you're watching the show for the wrong reasons. Just watch the Jerry Springer show, then you can see all the foul mouthing trashy people you want...That kind of behavior doesn't fit in with the Biggest Loser where people are fighting for their lives and trying to get healthy. Money is secondary to that...If the contestants are doing it just for the money, then they aren't there for the right reasons as well...
First of all TV IS for entertainment. I am not overweight and don't need the inspiration. I didn't know there was a right reason to watch the show. 2nd, I am very happy for all who lose their weight. 3rd. I much prefer to watch the people I dislike get the boot
than the ones I like. If I like everybody, then every week is sad. Now, I can celebrate this weeks elimination and look forward to next week.
Thanks for giving Stacy at shout-out! She did a great job, and I was on the "edge" of my elliptical trainer for the entire challenge. I'm not big enough to hope I might ever get on the Biggest Loser, so watching her reminded me that I can still work hard from home. I'm looking forward to seeing her at the finale!
I agree - Vicky is evil. I don't like watching her, Brady and Heba. I'm thinking of dvring the show and just fast forward every time she's on. Do please give the others more air time. It is disappointing! They need to go home! Go Amy C! So proud of your decision!!!
I was SO PROUD of Amy for voting off Brady! What an inspiring moment to see her doing what's right for HER and for the game instead of for that horrible team she got stuck with. I will keep watching just to see how things turn out for her. As for the Evil Four, I will keep watching the show HOPING that somehow, some way they get what's coming to them. The emotional journey they're on should be a bonding experience, not an excuse for selfish, childish behavior. I've never been so angry watching a show like this in my life. But I look forward to seeing it through to the end, for the sake of the real success stories! And those will be the ones who are successes as PEOPLE, not just as people who have lost weight. GO AMY!!!
I agree- How many comments will it take until the producers look at this issue. Everyone should stop watching and let the ratings drop. The Biggest Loser has meant so much to so many people and now this. It is truly disappointing. They should let Vicky, Heba and Brady read these, of course they may not care. GO AMY....We are so proud of you, you made the right choice.
Hi Ali! Congratulations on your announcement and thanks for your ever positive blog about the show. In the current environment on the show, I sympathize and admire the remaining contenders on the show who have kept their goals in focus, and not let arrogance and manipulations steer them astray. I hope the remaining episodes will reaffirm the positive life changing aspects that brought the contenders to the ranch, and not focus on unnecessary drama.
I agree with the many comments regarding the maliciousness of Vicky, Brady, Heba and now the returned Ed. Unless the producers are editing very selectively, I haven't seen any evidence that Phil is what they say he is. I especially hope, as did another "poster" that Vicky comes to realize how unhealthy she is mentally/emotionally. If she doesn't I fear her weightloss will be short lived.
Did anyone see the recent commercial for TBL where they are showing the "good side" of Vicky - and scenes of her with her daughter and touching moments with Bob? It seems that NBC may be hearing some of what everyone is saying. My heart was pounding during that elimination! I was actually talking to Amy through the TV begging her to write down Brady's name to wipe that smirk off of Vicky's face. Karma is a great thing! With that said, I hate the distraction that this meanness is bringing to this show. As a person who lost 50 pounds in the last 11 months by feeding off the inspiration from this show, it is extremely disturbing to see such cold hearted and mean spirits in the house. I wish they would show more of Colleen, Michelle, Renee, and Amy - they really know what life is about - which is not always money! Vicky and Heba, what are you thinking? Even if you did win the money, is the cost of having the majority of Americans disliking you, worth it? Money goes, but reputations stick for a long time.

I have never commented on any of these blogs before but feel the need to now. I also wanted express my disappointment with the direction the show has gone in. Vicky, Heba and Brady are evil children who should be ashamed of themselves. I hope none of them get the money. They do not deserve it. THIS SHOW SHOULD BE ABOUT LOOSING WEIGHT AND GETTING HEALTHY PERIOD. ANY GAME PLAYING SHOULD BE LEFT AT THE DOOR. I will not be watching anymore of this show. Alison, Bob and Julian need to step in and say enough of this. By not saying anything only encourages it. The only person on the Blue team that deserves to win is Amy and I hope she leaves the blue team and joins the Black team. I repeat that THIS SHOW SHOULD BE ABOUT LOOSING WEIGHT AND GETTING HEALTHY PERIOD. ANY GAME PLAYING SHOULD BE LEFT AT THE DOOR. Then maybe I will start watching again.
I love the Biggest Loser show. Each season has brought happiness to the individuals that were chosen and I loved seeing Ali win as well as the winners of the other seasons.Nice, decent people.However, I am sick about the personalities that are on the show this year. Vicky and Heba are the meanest women and they have very ugly personalities. No one will want them to win. No one. Their families at home should be embarrassed to have such daughters.As much as I enjoy this show, I may not look at it any longer. Maybe next year the producers will choose more wisely.
Seriously, I would enjoy the show alot better if it was about winning than this manipulative, game playing, Survivor baloney! I'd love to see them change the format to each week being some combination of percentage of weight loss plus challenges, etc. rather than this voting off mess. It just makes people sneaky, back-stabbing, and nasty. Can we please have positivity and inspiration instead of this mess????
It's all about how the show is edited. Yes, I am sure there is some truth to what is being shown on TV. What people need to remember is that the episodes are only 2 hours a week (not even) of the contestants time there at the ranch. Without drama, the show would have less viewers, I mean it's a great show but just look how they cut the previews for the show.
I love the show a lot, and it's AMAZING to see the contestants change so much!!
I'm only tuning in tomorrow night at 9:30. Let's hope Vicky went home. JERK.
Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!! It is disgusting to watch the foul four! I liked how Bob stated that Vicky was "SHAKESPERIAN" (sorry if my spelling is wrong). I needed that comic relief after watching such rotten and down right evil behavior. Brady and Vicky came onto the show to set a good example in healthy eating for their children..Yet, all they have done is set a poor example of character. They should be ashamed that they are not only representing themselves as malious, back stabbing, manipulative, vengeful, hateful and greedy people..But are teaching their innocent children that these character flaws are something to be proud of. How incredibly DISTURBING!!!!Ed and Heba are not any better! They have a LONG way to be worthy of parenthood. I thank my lucky stars that my children and myself live FAR FAR AWAY from these people!!!! The four of them should be paying us to watch them!! If they want to set a good example, then try apologizing to the network and viewers for tainted such a wonderful show!! Most of us would expect as much at the final. As of right now, the four of them don't deserve a dime or minute of anyone's time!!!!
I am SO GLAD to see that others have been affected by the Evil Four as I have! I have felt downright silly having such intense emotions about a people on a television show. Yet, everyone feels as strongly as I do. Maybe it is because these digusting individuals represent all that is bad in people? Or the fact that they CLAIMED to want to set a good example for children or to start a family? Stating such goals, then showing such poor character is not only appaling, but down right scary!!! As frustrated as they have made us viewers, I have to chuckle at the life long impression they are giving to millions of Americans. The show will end, but I think the damage they have done to themselves socially will carry on forever. I really feel sorry for Vicky and Brady's children, they have been dealt a cruel hand in life.
I thought the show was called Biggest Loser because of the amount of weight people lost? And I also thought there would be only ONE winner? It appears I was sadly mistaken..There are FOUR BIGGEST LOSERS!!! BIGGEST LOSERS IN CHARACTER AND INTREGRITY!!! Vicky, you are right, you are going to win the title...For the BIGGEST LOSER we Americans have ever witnessed on reality television. Oh, by the way, that is NOTHING to be proud of!!
I think the Blue Team members [minus Amy] are the biggest bunch of BULLIES. Julie and her gang of thugs should be ashamed of the way they act. I believe in what goes around comes around. I hope they all get voted off because they do not deserve to be there. Julie is by far the meanest, most despicable person to ever be on any reality show. The bad news is that she is not playing a character that she can leave on the stage. How sad for her family.
Hey Alison, Don't Coleen remind you of 'Belle Black' Martha Madison? Coleen is adorable sweet girl with dimple cheek like Martha.
Well i would like to know one thing when can America start voting the ppl off this show cause we would really like to see a few ppl off this show real fast,like Vicky,Heba, and Ed come on they are ruining the show i am so mad.Come on ppl this is suppose to be a family show and it is getting crazy.
WHAT!?! I can't believe there was a chance to vote off Vicky and it didn't happen. I am so disappointed! Vicky is ruining the show, not to mention the embarassment she is to America. Does Amy really think Vicky will save her if she goes below the yellow line? I seriously doubt it!

I cant believe vicky was not voted off. They want all the black team members off, but when that happens, did Amy not think of what was going to happen then?? 3 friends against her. The black team is amys freind, she should of thought of that before kicking off colleen.
Im so mad at them for voting off Coleen I wanted her to win, Vicky is pure evil how in their right minds could they have kept her??
Amy is a traitor!!! Christine
I am so mad that Vicky didn't get voted off. What was Amy thinking. Does she actually think Vicky will have her back when she drops below the yellow line?? I don't think so. They had their chance to get rid of Vicky and it didn't happen. So what happens next will be on them. Vicky is the back stabber who will eliminate anyone in her way.
I agree with the rest of you about Vicky and Heba's character. What I was most bothered by last night though was the language. It keeps getting worse and worse. I can't let my children watch it anymore because for some reason the editors have forgotten what a four letter word is. If my kids can't watch it, then I won't be watching it anymore either, which is really too bad because I love this show. I thought it was a family show. Guess not.
Well, motivation is going out the window with the foul four (I do agree with that title--it fits them to a tee). Vicky says that she is competitive but she has no sportsmanship. I feel for her children. I was upset about Heba being so controlling but she did seem really mean except to dear Phillip...I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt that something was going on that we didn't see. I also have to remind myself that this is an edited version of the show that we are watching...so apparently the producers and editors are disliking Vicky as well or they wouldn't show this side of her...if she wins I agree with so many of you...this might be my last season. She is unbelievable! I so wanted Amy to get a backbone and vote her off...but that didn't happen so now the nasty one can have another stab at Amy or the rest of the other ladies. Come on NBC, producers, please bring back the inspirational show you had all these seasons...this garbage has to stop. It does no one any good.
I was horribly upset that Vicky got to stay. At the same time, Coleen really was a threat to Amy and everyone else because she was WINNING. If Vicky weren't such a vile human being, Coleen would have been a good choice, but instead I think I would have ignored strategy and voted off the most negative force to ever set foot at the ranch. Now it's pretty much guaranteed that either Vicky or Heba--or both--will end up in the final four, and neither of them deserve it. I hope they get booed off the stage during the final show.
DISGUSTING
These past few weeks have been so disapointing to me and my wife. Vicky is so mean spirited, What was amy suppose to do when she voted vickys husband off if she would have been in that spot below the yellow line the foul four would have voted her off. She played well. I really hope next season returns with those who want to really change there lives and and not be so mean.
I hope that someone wins who deserves it. Vicky is just in it for the money. I agree with the person who said something about us seeing the edited version of the show. People who watch biggest loser though watch it to get inspired and to see good things happen to good people. Maybe the show needs new editors, the biggest loser is starting to look like an MTV reality show with all the fighting and backstabbing going on.
I also have to agree with the viewers. I love your show but Vicky and Heba are taking away from the spirit of the show. I've never seen adults act like this, and expically woman at that. It really is distracting for the viewers. I don’t know how much more I can take. Is there a way they can make them stop or leave because of the way they are? If the viewers have a choice I know they would boot them off. Thanks and I am a days fan..
Well after watching the final show last night I am so glad that Vicky nor Ed won. I am disgusted that Heba won the hundred grand I was really hoping Amy (Phil) would win. But I was praying for that none of the ugly three would win the big prize. Congrats Michelle you really looked great. Keep up the good work. I was behind you all the way.
Coleen N
Could someone there please tell me what color(s)lipstick and brand the character Melanie wears? Her lips always look so great and the colors are spectacular.
