Quoted from SuziH

'I know my husband would not of had an affair if I had not gotten so fat' or something along those lines. Excuse me.... you poor woman. Your husband doesn't deserve you at all if he strayed looking for sex/contact elsewhere. Great lot of support she has had. Get slimmer honey and give your cheating husband the boot!

I agree completely. When I first saw that promo I thought that her sleazy husband would've cheated on her anyway. It would be EXTREMELY sad if she hadn't yet divorced him.  

I live by the rule that we are all responsible for ourselves. Now this woman may have been so insecure and bottled up that she was giving no energy or heart to their marriage or herself, and while his reaction to this was just weak and stupid, it was obviously because as a couple they were not talking it through. He was likely suffering in the lead up to this action and didnt have the tools to deal with it positively. As far as im concerned both of them are victims of their own making. Tough but true.

It's on now. I think I like the asian dude and the red head and a couple of the other guys so far. And a few of the girls were ok as well. I don't know names yet!!
Yay they have the same theme song!

What's with the blonde one, not eating anything the whole time! :O

Well seeing as he's an old friend of mine... I'm cheering for "the asian dude" as Dara called him ...Alex,   although I think Greg (the greek dude) is going to be a contender...

Did AJ annoy anyone else with her constant slow talking? gah we don't have to talk as slow as the Americans do... we don't normally anyway!

And how dumb was it that they didn't show us which teams Bob & Jillian chose and yet they showed us all the contestants wearing their red t-shirts... as if it wasn't obvious anyway... sometimes the aussie versions of US shows make me laugh because they're so B grade compared to the originals... and sometimes they are great which I'm hoping this will become, however at this rate for me anyway, it's going to be a show I'll watch if I'm around, otherwise it isn't going to bother me if I miss it, as the recaps (and replays straight after the ad breaks  ) will catch me up anyway...

Oh, and don't get me started on how annoying those Fernwood with Kristy and Subway with Adro ads are going to become!!

OO AJ has lost the weight she gained last season!
How annoying everyone on the official forums likes damian the best. they always pick the fattest every year and make them out as like a god. I swear they did it with david as well.
I mean I like damian, but still.
I so far like.,...  mel, damian, alex, micheal, and kind of pati. And maybe this other guy.
I'm rooting for blue I think

lolll, I agree completely Fajo. *nods*

Even during the ad breaks they're shoving TBL down our throats.

And I don't know why you would consider the aussie version B grade. I think the Aussie Biggest Loser is on par, if not better than the US version. The US version bores the crap out of me although I admittedly sat through an episode last year.

Well I'm glad that at least SOMEBODY had the good sense not to eat all that junk food. Ugh, it was so unnerving watching them all pig out like that; making their "journey" all the more difficult to contain (literally). I was absolutely appalled that they're pig out like that. They can have all the cheezel glasses and licorice sticks they want when they learn to take control over their disgraceful eating habits.

Bah, I'm not too fond of Shannon. He's too... fake IMO. He doesn't carry the warmth of Michelle or the American trainers.

And how cool (yet lame, in a cheesy sort of way) are Ten's new idents with the stars of Ten's American shows?

I'm so glad that the show is finally back, I wasn't dissapointed tonight at all - The Aussie version is sooooo much better (Jillian agrees with me ). The Fernwood adds were a little annoying but we didn't get any Subway adds here, we havn't got the new indents either... what happens in them? Are they on YouTube yet?

My sig is a cap of the new ident... except for the logo and "I Believe" bits.

Here it is on YouTube (I'll try to get a collection of those onto my YouTube account )

Lets not forget that this is a tv show. Do you really think these guys had a choice NOT to eat that food. Their contracts would be clear on this stuff. I will ask David from last season, we will be talking to him a bit on the Podcast.

If you guys have any questions for them about the stuff going on behind the camera send them to our email address and i can ask them. Tootle oo

No they can't. They'll never be able to eat like a 'normal' person again. For the rest of their lives they'll be thinking about what they can and can't have and trying to balance everything so they don't have too much of something and not enough of something else.
I say have a last 'pig out' and then say good bye to it all. You may be able to have a handful of cheezels occasionally, but you'll never be able to eat the whole packet again.

With all due respect that is simply not true. Some people out there do love to say things like "you never stop craving cigarettes after you quit" but who decided that is true for every person. I havent craved one once since i quit. Some people like to hang on that that pain or that belief but frankly, if you dont control your own mind then who does?

To those trying to lose weight, please dont think that this comment is true for all people because it isnt. Humans adjust, if you do it right then you wont have to think about what you are eating.

I have never watched TBL from the first episode so it was all new to me when I did, last night. I felt positively slim (eventhough I could do with losing 30kg) in comparison to the competitors. Bravo to them for being on the show and baring their bodies and souls to us. The largest guy is almost 34 stone.    I love Alex (the Asian/Chinese guy) and think he has a wonderful personality. I think it odd that the large guys have better odds of still having a marriage and the large girls don't, just from observation. Either the girls are single because their partners left them or no-one wants to date them and that sad story with one of them being a very young widow
I think it is terribly sad that these people have been almost abandoned by society because they don't fit into the mold. I could never of stuffed myself at that feast. It almost made me ill, also. I probably would of gone for some chicken. I don't eat sweeties, desserts or snacks. We must remember as someone else said, this is all contractural and they would have directions to follow, undoubtably. I think Shannon is a young man who has a pretty healthy ego. I wont say 'full of himself' coz I've not seen enough of him to know, yet. The other trainers.... I like their personalities. Some of the promos look funny with some of the contestants getting cranky etc! I wouldn't of been able to do one push up let alone 10! 11 weeks to lose so much weight is way too rapid and there will be a lot of left over skin that will need to be dealt with. I thought AJ was still a little on the large side, especially her hips and bum, but who am I to critisize? I want to see them ALL reach their healthy goal weight.  

AJ was way bigger by the end of last season though lol.

I know it kind of is a unfair comp, guys will win, like Fiona would never have been able to win lol.

But yeah, they may as well have had a little bit to eat you can't starve yourself, but some of them were being gross. And you would want to eat lots as a strategy as well I think.. possibly.

I don't really like the new trainers I wish bob and jillian would stay shannen is too stereotypically aussie and michelle is.... I dont know.. jillian is better!

I thought that was particularly noticable in Adro since he was only like 85kg when he won the competition.
