DISQUS

MPete · 1 year ago

I'm still confused as to why the black weigh-in was done so soon in sequence - maybe for the evens that follow for a hook to watch the next show but it seems really out of place to me compared to the rest of the contestants.

There's various theories floating around, like maybe Black is weighing in on a proper weekly schedule, since they're not tooling around with a bunch of challenges and so forth. It could also be because there's way less footage of them they'll be saving more of it for the hour long episodes instead or something.
Basically, who knows. It's probably one of those production decisions they won't ever explain to us. Magic of television!

I'm not sure what is the go with this Black Team. 4 people, the 2 original trainers, no "game" crap, isolation, strict diet control. I'd would have thought that the weight should be melting off them. They have been given the second chance which usually fires people up but their moral is pretty low. Bob was looking kinda disappointed at the results.

1. What's with Nicola whinging about the red team never having the power? Has she forgotten The Walk last week??

2. I'd really like to see more black team. I say scrap The Walk, give us a night of them on Thursdays!

I'm starting to think maybe it's the monotony of the situation that's causing the problem. The challenges at least provide a workout in a very different way to the normal workouts, but Black aren't getting that.
Even John on the Blue team gets to cheer on his teammates from the sidelines, which would break up the grind somewhat.
Second week is always a bad one but usually the third week picks back up again as they start building more muscles and the diet kicks in. I'm not surprised Bob was a bit disappointed. :(

To be fair, the power Red Team got from The Walk wasn't particularly useful! :D

I don't know about a whole night of Black Team, since they're mostly just eating, exercising, pooping and sleeping! But maybe keep the hour long show and just have a lot more Black Team stuff mixed in with some other non-horrible event for Thursdays. :)

Well it might not have been useful, but it was power nonetheless! ;)

Is Thursday an hour? I have no idea since i record all the shows and watch most of them in double-speed :D
Half an hour maybe, I mean they could surely give them a couple of challenges (as individuals I guess) and some different things to do as workouts. At the moment all it seems is that they go to the gym, cry and hate on themselves, get weighed, cry and hate on themselves.

OR... they could just have half an hour of Bob standing around with no shirt on.... that would work too!

Yeah the Tuesday and Thursday shows are an hour long this year. Craziness if you ask me.

I'd rather Jillian stand around with no shirt on, that would definitely be better than sitting around waiting to find out if Steven goes home!
