Team Swap Twist – Have Your Say

The World Wide Intertubes are abuzz tonight with discussion about the results of The Walk from the latest episode – the Team Swap Twist.

Many are saying that this latest twist is turning the show into a fatties version of Big Brother, with not many people saying this is a good thing for the show.

What do you think?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Personally, I’m a bit on the fence on this one. On the one hand, I hate that they set the teams up to try and work together towards the common good and send them off on exercises to emphasise that team based approach and then turn around and force people to swap teams once they’ve got a good rapport going.

On the other hand, I can’t help feeling that this is the best thing that could happen for Laura, who is most in need of this opportunity, with the worst chance of getting to stick around long enough to take advantage of it. Now that she’s with the much more nurturing Blue team, along with her mate P’eta, I’m hoping she’ll get a chance to come out of her shell and kick some arse.

I realise it’s a TV show and that they therefore need it to be Must See TV, but I just wonder if maybe this sort of thing is better left to shows that’re more manipulative in nature by design. All this backstabbing and conniving is really detracting from the otherwise very positive message the show has.

Do you think this is an instance where the demands of TV should take precedence? Vote now!

Recap #17 – Thursday 22nd Feb. – The Walk 3: Return of the Fatty

“A new force arrived in the game…” Mr Voiceover Man in relation to Commando Steve. Is he going to be a regular feature of the show? Because I think that’d be cool!

Unfortunately, we don’t find out tonight… Because much of the special one hour length episode is taken up by the drama surrounding The Walk once again… And this time it’s perhaps even more drama-y than last time!

What happens? Read on to find out!

Wednesday Rumour Mill: The Walk set to shake up the game?

There’s a rumour doing the rounds on the official Biggest Loser forums that something big is going to happen tomorrow night, by which you can assume it has something to do with The Walk.

Details of the rumour after the break, as well as some speculation… But bear in mind this is a rumour, it is not a confirmed fact, and the details are sketchy!

Recap #15 – Tuesday 20th Feb. – Mini-Challenge 3 – Run run run as far as you can!

Another week, another “mini”-challenge, only this one turns out to be not so mini after all, and leads to a very interesting result!

How they managed to get all that up and still not get around to fading out Kelly’s face from the contestant navigation is anyone’s guess…

Anyway, on with the show!
