I want to see before and after pictures of each one of these people. The network website is a gigantic mess, and you have to scroll through each person's
ton of crap to find a simple before/after shot of each one.

crzcanuck wrote:Thanks, I misremembered which line was which. She seemed a bit chunky to be 139 at 5'9". So, looking at BMI calculations, Helen is just on the border of normal and underweight at 117 (bmi of 18.9) and Tara is solidly in Normal weight at 139 (bmi of 20). but I'm sure Helen will bounce back up. I also read that her husband works for Chrysler and might be losing his job, so that's another reason I'm happy she won. I agree that there's ridiculous magic thinking about the show. It does provide incentives (money, humiliation). but what the show does not address is that to lose that much weight and keep it off, you have to fundamentally change who you are as a personality. So, yeah, it's not magic and the show isn't going to do it, you have to be willing to transform the minute by minute fabric of your life. Impulse control. Finding other ways than carbs to regulate serotonin levels. The fact that everyone around you reacts to you differently. I agree that it's magic thinking and the basic equation is calories in and calories expended. I think the reason Jillian does better is that she grasps the other pieces of the puzzle and Bob thinks sugarless gum is the answer.

I wonder if Helen did coffee enemas to lose that much weight so quickly. I am glad she won. I always root for the 40 year old women. Originally I wanted
Estella to win, but she got 100,000 with her husband.

Helen did everything. I just watched the ending again. She weighed in at 117! I'm pissed at Jillian for feeding her info. on the other two, if that's true. Is it true? Where did that info. come from? |

Helen did not look healthy to me. I would be interested in seeing what she weighs in a couple of weeks.
Isn't that three female winners in a row? Funny how they made such a big deal about Ali being the first female winner and now a man can't seen to win it.

OK, thanks. Did she say that in an interview or where?

I saw her say that when they interviewed her and Helen on the Today Show the next morning.
I'm not sure if she said that anywhere else. |

The interview is up on hulu.com It sounds to me the secret plan was to follow Jillian's metabolism book....nothing sinister. Oh, and to add. Helen looks really good on the Today Show... |

The show was very weird; the trainers were barely on stage with the contestants. The whole time, they were stuck in the back training those look-alike girls
in that contrived competition. I wonder if they had to separate Bob from the stage because Joelle got a restraining order. And I'm sure not many were
glad to see Jillian since she kept complaining so much to the press how she couldn't stand most of the contestants from this season.

Joelle is retarded and she's still a spacey airhead tankass. She couldn't seem to put a sentence together correctly before anymore than she can now.
Carla FTW

What happened with this Joelle?
And to think it came so close to Helen being eliminated at one point. |

Nothing happened. She lost a measily 80 pounds and percentage-wise she only did better than David (on the Orange team, who never stood a chance) and Aubrey (on
the yellow team, who used her kids as excuses). Joelle stayed true to her lazy, fat self, despite all her defenders who said she would come back to win the
At-Home prize. Ha! Even Carla, her partner and the biggest girl on the show ever, has nearly caught up to Joelle's "slimmer" size. Joelle sucks.

w00t, she whooped those two people.
I felt like the show was mid season, everyone with the exception of the finalists and Jerry still had a good ways to go. Maybe everyone ate all of Helen's food and she almost starved to death while they fattified. |
