Bam! Instant elimination. Your thoughts?

Well, tonight’s episode certainly was one of the more dramatic in Fatties history. One contestant was instantly eliminated with no vote and no option for a lesser evil than elimination.

To me, this seems quite unfair to all involved. What do you guys think?

(Poll has been removed due to incompatibility with new version of the blog. Sorry!)

Even leaving aside that it was P’eta, perhaps my current favourite competitor, this really seems to go against the grain of the entire competition. The voting off of contestants is sort of counter to the whole weightloss ethos, but it’s “necessary” for the show, so it’s accepted to some degree.

But giving one contestant the power to just evict one other player from the game? Especially when the power to do so was granted via pigging out on food during a Temptation? It sets an ugly precedent.

I don’t think this is where The Biggest Loser should be going.

  • I'm still interested in the "proper" parts of the show, but all the "drama" is definitely turning me off, yes. This sort of shit is exactly why I don't generally watch reality TV, but TBL was actually somewhat different.
    Now it's getting close to being the only difference is that they have way more fat people than Big Brother...

    it's starting to get boring, all these 'dramatic' twists. it's almost like they don't have anything else interesting to show us but the network gave them more time, so they fill it with bullshit like this. i mean, all the eliminated/evicted people will prolly get a chance to come back later on, adding to the drama, but it's still such a bullshit unfair way of doing things that's not spectacularly interesting at all :(
  • Yah, I never bothered to put Laura and P'eta into the header image. Too much effort now, I'd rather just leave it.

    Marty is the one behind Bob. Marty's likely to be the next eliminated, if the scheming Reds have their way and lose the weigh-in, so it's entirely possible the record will remain intact!
