Previously, on The Biggest Loser… a lot of disappointment on the faces of Red Team.
A lot of very happy Blue Team members.
And a lot of angry Red Team people about the flippant attitude of JJ and Cosi.

Would you like to know more?

(With apologies for this being so late!)

Previously on The Biggest Loser… pigs in mud! Oh yeah, they went back to that well.
Other things happened as well, go read about them if you like.

Things happening tonight too – weigh ins for the White House people, weigh ins for the Black Team at the Ranch with Jillian and Bob.
And finally the Red and Blue teams will be selected! Longest. Wait. EVER.

See the things you people miss by sleeping at reasonable hours? Shame on you all!

naughtydogs over on the official forums just made a post about tonight’s challenge and an editing blunder contained therein.

During the show it was made to appear as if Sean managed to get into the maze before anyone managed to make it back out. I said as much in the recap.

But that’s not entirely accurate. In fact, it’s not at all accurate!

Check this out:

While it is a little small, it does indeed seem to be Sean limping along in the background of this shot where Sam is being congratulated by Shannan.

Whoops! :-)

Seen any more silly mistakes? Drop a comment in the slot!

The official site for the show has finally seen fit to grace us with some meatier contestant profiles.

Age, date of birth, height (for some), occupations, marital status… it’s all there.

If you follow the left hand column down to the box where their profile information is listed you will notice a “more” link underneath that box. If it’s not being obscured by a Burgen bread ad. That “more” link contains a Q&A with each contestant where they reveal their favourite things and answer a bunch of stock questions about what they hope to get out of the show, why they’re fat, what being not fat means to them, etc. Some very interesting responses in there so it’s worth checking them out.

You can find links to the contestants via the Official Biggest Loser Site or you can view their profiles here on the Recap by clicking the names over in the right sidebar. Note that neither site has extended profiles for the contestants who were sent home, only those who have gone into the White House or are now the Black Team have proper profiles at this point. Should the others come back to the game, expect them to have proper profiles too!

Why reproduce all the same information here? Because if or when Season 4 starts it is likely the old contestant data will be purged, as happened to the Season 2 contestants, and all the information will be lost. If at some point I want to compare a Season 3 contestant to someone from Season 2, it’s much easier if I still have the data available. And the same will apply for Season 4.

Plus the Recap site has way fewer ads and I fixed some of the spelling mistakes. ;-)
