DISQUS

Things that need to be eliminated from the show, no. 3828938911: The "We didn't know what to expect!" that the trainers say in a voiceover EVERY DAY in the "running up the driveway" shot!!!!

Adro was kind of weirding me out with all his motivational speaker talk. Then again motivational speakers kind of weird me out anyway.

Oh! And it's even worse than you've written Mythor! AJ's dress was BLUE! Like a navy blue with that olive/moss green cardigan! Wtf! I just thought "They've been doing SO well with her lately!" What a shame.

I found the choice of "the legends" a bit odd. I mean, Tracy? She was never all that interesting or successful I thought. Also the fact that some as you mentioned are definitely holding more weight than their finale - check out Munnalita's washer woman arms! Were these past contestants the only ones that answered the call? The only ones who had kept most of their weight off? Or the only ones that weren't promoting weight loss food products? Maybe I'm prejudiced, but I could never in a million years consider Tracy and Munnalita the slightest bit inspirational.

Inspired... inspirational... motivated... how many f*cking times were those words said? I can tell you -- TOO MANY!! I wanted to scream after a while.

Oh, it was blue was it? Oops! It wasn't a good look, no. Not sure what happened.

I think Tracy may have been because they were running out of people who'd kept a healthy figure. They probably didn't want too many people who're still very obviously overweight like Damien.
I don't know that anyone found Tracy inspirational but some did find Munnalita's story inspiring, with wanting to get thin so she could have children. Of course, she didn't actually end up having a kid, but the show isn't mentioning that part... ;)

I didn't like Munnalita but to be fair, she's a pretty good choice for the reason I gave. And she's obviously put some of the weight back on, but doesn't look completely horrid, all things considered.

It did start to grate a bit, yes.
I got more annoyed when there was flashes of Damien after those words though. He was inspiring at the time, but still being his weight a year later is very UNinspiring. :(

Bloomin pregnancy hormones! I was nearly crying when they were getting out of the Hummer!

Even though some of them have put on a bit of weight they still look good, they aren't like they were before and they look more 'normal' rather than their anorxic look they all had at the finale. Damien may have a lot of loose skin under his clothes that make him look fat, but he's still an inspiration, and being a favourite of season 2 it's no surprise he's back.

Adro is such a spunky monkey! He's done so well. Wal is HUGE!!! His muscles are massive!
