Last week when they had immunity again, he didn't lose much. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned given how much focus the entire issue had. The US red team are terribly annoying as are the greys now. I like Michael and Daris

Michaels hilarious, but I don't mind the greys. Michael was brill doing the challenge and I was pleased he won immunity although as long as the reds didn't get it again I didn't mind too much.
I think jillian was great with Darus though; she understands the teenagers feelings because she was overweight as a teen herself so she's great at helping them.

I'm reallly confused as to how its possible for people to "throw" the weigh in on the Biggest Loser (I'm talking US version here - LivingIt on Tuesday nights - perhaps there should be a separate thread or it could get confusing!)
Obviously there is something odd going on with the red team, but how is it possible for them to deliberately gain/maintain. The trainers are with them when they train, and they stay on the ranch eating I assume only what's available in the fridge/cupboards. Do they give them access to bad food as well? Can they come and go and pop out to MaccyDs, or phone in for a pizza? None of this is shown on the TV - how much are we not seeing?
At one point I even wondered if they hid weights in their shoes, but realised they weigh in bare feet, and tight outfits that you couldnt hide anything like that in!

Holy crap doesn't even cover it!!!!!! Astonishing, amazing and best of all I still don't know who won ? Managed to look at the pics but not read stats on side (under their name)!
Very impressive but just hoping it's not the red team ? ?

No way!
Last time I googled USA Couples - I was nearly arrested for indecent images
That was a joke by the way lol

There's a fair old bit of subtle airbrushing going on there, not to mention the girdles, or support garments that the ladies (and some of the men) are wearing under their outfits (check for the line near the bust line where you can see where it finishes).
They are very impressive losses though. I don't watch the US one - how long a period are the losses over?

Its same as the UK one, its over about 12/16 weeks. The US losses are always far more impressive

I don't doubt that there's a good bit of makeup / fake tan etc involved in the after pics, and maybe some sort of "magic" underwear, but there's going to be some issue of excess skin / sagging involved so it's more likely to be to pull that in / up where needed...
It's still impressive though.. 50% + weight loss for the winner wasn't it?

I know, surely that's like a stone a week or something!
I wonder if their big losses have anything to do with the foods available in the us an how much of a persons diet out there can be processed and full of additives, an whether the healthy food shocks them into bigger losses. Just a thought, as there are some seriously impressive losses there!!

I think that the extreme exercise helps them..
they get into the "fat burning zone" by working to exaustion where they've used up all the "easy" energy from the carbs and go into ketosis where they start burning the fat to fuel themselves..
we're told that exercise doesn't help us that much on SW but that's because we have a reasonable amount of "free" carbs and don't do nearly as much as they do on the show.. ( 4 or 5 times a day for a couple of hours at a time? )
