I just have to vent about last night's episode of The Biggest Loser. First of all, the contestants going home wasn't a big shock. It happens every season around this time and of course it's hard to adjust, but what the HELL is wrong with Austin's friends? The poor guy is on The Biggest Loser....go bowling, fine. But you do not order pizza, cheese fries, and his favorite cheesecake and then try to convince him to take a bite. However, I can relate to him and understand that really IS how life is. There are people out there who are sabotagers. They will, in fact, try to convince you that only one bite or one piece is not going to hurt you. It might not be a deliberate act, but then again it might be. There are a lot of these kind of people in my life that I've distanced myself from. The kind who call me rude when I turn down something because I know it's not going to do me any good to eat it, the who roll their eyes at me when I say I won't eat something, etc. The more you do these kind of things to me, the more I realize that I don't need people like you in my life. I don't necessarily NEED the applause or the cheers for my choices, but I DO need your acceptance. Don't make a sarcastic statement, don't tell me that I'm wasting money on classes, don't tell me what I need or what I should be doing. Just be happy that I'm doing SOMETHING to better my life, which is more than I can say for you. I was appalled and infuriated by Austin's friends. Support the poor guy. Especially on national television!! Good grief!!
AND ANOTHER THING!!! Arthur being moved to the red team wouldn't have been HALF as bad if they would have done the right thing and kept him at the ranch!! It's one thing to have an alliance and it's one thing to love your team, but it's quite another to keep your team together at the expense of someone else's life. Arthur needed to be on that ranch more than ANYONE in the history of biggest loser and 6 arrogant self centered people in red shirts threw him out with yesterday's garbage, when there were 7 black team members that would have gladly taken his place. Even more interesting was a comment that Justin made that if Sara (formerly of the red team, now on team black) would've been last and ended up on the red team, she would be going home. Was that because she didn't try her best or was it because she simply wasn't "part of the family" anymore. This season's red team has angered me more than any other season ever has. HOWEVER, I was so proud of Arthur for going home and taking his 5'8" frame carrying his 400+ lbs to the gym and kicking his own ass! That's more than I can say for a lot of people. He is stronger and has a bigger heart than ANYONE on the red team. I used to have a couple contestants on the red team that I thought were better than that, but they are all on my shit list now. Courtney, Marci, and Jen have always been some of my favs and to know that those women would've done anything they could to save Arthur makes me love them even more. GO BLACK TEAM!
I also just want to add that I am TERRIFIED to watch next season without Jillian. The show is not at all going to be the same without her and Heaven forbid Bob leave in the near future, I'm pretty sure I will be done with The Biggest Loser. Brett and Kara don't have NEAR the heart and spirit that Bob and Jillian have!
We <3 you Arthur!! Keep on keeping on!!
