The Biggest Loser
Couples III
Oh Please!  Not Melissa!
by vic2rea

Boo, Hiss and Boo again!  While I'm totally aware that the Biggest Loser likes to shake things up - they didn't even try to disguise the fact that they wanted Melissa to return!  In my opinion, at least one of the the contestants should have returned on percentage of weight loss (which is the basis of the show now, isn't it), then have a challenge or a popularity contest, but be fair!   Melissa is a toxic presence and will undoubtedly have a negative influence on people who have been trying to make positive changes in their lives.

Obviously they want more drama and less friendship on the ranch by bringing back Melissa.  Stepping!  Really!?  Three of the men in the competition have major problems with their knees to the point that they were limited in what they could do the first time around. There was no earthly way James, John or Darrell could have had a chance... and they needed to be there!  Trust me, I'm not a fan of John, James or Darrell, but please.  James and John did most of their workouts in the pool while on the ranch.  And we all saw how Darrell's knees gave out during the competition that sent him home.  Why even bother having a competition?!  Maybe the producers didn't hear the collective sigh of relief and the applauding the night Melissa left...  probably just thought it was wind and thunder...

Love Koli, but shame on him for starting the rumor mill turning against his cousin's new lady love.  It's almost like he knew it would come down to Stephanie and Sam and he needed Ashley and Andrea to be distrustful of their friend so they would vote her out.  Funny, it never crossed my mind that Stephanie would throw a weigh-in... it just doesn't fit her personality. I'm sure Koli knew of the relationship between Sam and Stephanie and what he said was downright mean.  I doubt that Stephanie will have any harsh words for Koli though, she's just too nice of a person.  I didn't want to see either of them go, so I'll just have to be happy Sam is still with us. 

Next week:  With immunity at stake, the competition heats up -- The competition heats up when the players learn that whoever loses 2% of their body weight first this week gets immunity. The catch is that only one person gets immunity and they only get one shot to weigh in whenever they think they’ve reached that goal. Later, the players head to the pool for a swimming challenge involving weights. After each contestant finishes the race, they are allowed to go back and help others finish, which proves very revealing about who the players want to stay in the game -- and who they don’t. Alison Sweeney hosts the series, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels also star.
