I'll be surprised if Joelle actually loses anymore weight before the finale. She's still in denial about her behavior and won't listen to anything anyone has to say to her. She's already lost 57 pounds according to a previous post, 20 of them at home. She wasn't ready for the stupidity that is Biggest Loser, but you do have to do some behavior modification to lose 20 pounds, which would be the healthy pace to do it. As the article I linked to said, many of the contestants on BL had regained 50 or more pounds and being on the ranch is a total unreality of puking, asparagus, and coffee fasts. I'm not including in this what I wanted to see on my TV.

How ironic, the week the first "african american" president was elected, the last hope for the first african american biggest loser was sent packing <333. (Still love them though, but it's funny as hell).

Even the trainers said that on the show the other night. Joelle may have lost 20 pounds since leaving the ranch, but based on the behavior I saw from her I don't think the weight loss will stick until she deals with her mental issues. She's not a person who can take accountability for her actions (based on what we've all seen) and until she can get her head on straight I don't foresee her making any significant weight loss by the finale. If I turn out to be wrong, I will gladly admit it.

They'd probably burn her at the stake if she is selfish and does not give her winnings to another contestant. Hopefully somebody will bring a case of low fat BBQ sauce.

"If everyone's such a high authority, how did we get to have all of these huge obesity issues and why are we on The Biggest Loser?" Because everyone was such a strong authority on what should be done, they should be home and fit and coaching somewhere. Otherwise we need to be quiet and listen to those professional [as they] coach us. AMEN JOELLE!!! AMEN!!! Last Edited By: willsucks402 02/05/09 11:10 AM. Edited 1 times.

Joelle suggested to Carla that they audition for the show. Carla considers them more as acquaintances which would explain the lack of support for each other. There was never a solid friendship between the two of them to begin with. After reading that interview, I've come to the conclusion that I don't like Bob anymore. He instigated a lot of that animosity Carla and the other teams had for Joelle. I believe Joelle would have had better success if Jillian was her trainer.

Carla considered them friends, and Joelle considered them acquaintances. Reality TV World: How long had you two been "best friends" before the show? Carla: I had known Joelle for two years, and I would say that we're still friends. I'm not sure how she feels, but I'd still consider her a friend. Joelle: Yeah. Carla and I are actually more of acquaintances. We have known each other for two years. She did suggest for the marketing purposes that we put "Best Friends." We are still interacting in the same way that we did before, and we're still working on achieving our goal. We're just doing it separately.

But something isn't right with a zero. I did Weight Watchers and never worked out and still lost an average of 2 pounds per week. The only way she didn't lose anything was either she's eating stuff when no one is looking or she watered up. And watering up doesn't make sense. Last Edited By: Stefanie71 02/05/09 11:58 AM.

No, it's a scam! Don't trust sugarless gum...it has sugar they just don't say it on the box! Damn Biggest Loser for tricking us all...I should write to them. WE ALL HAVE A VOICE Plus, chewing gum makes your stomach think your eating and when nothing is going down for you to digest you will feel like your starving. That chewing gum thing is bull!

And watering up doesn't make sense. It is unusual for contestants to not lose anything this early in the season but usually they all have a week where they plateau and lose anywhere between zero and two pounds. It mostly happens with women when it's that time of month. I don't know about anyone else but chewing gum makes me hungry so I agree it's bullshit.

After reading that it seems like Joelle is not really skilled in handling conflict and she thought that just ignoring it would make it go away. Instead, her lack of reaction pissed everyone off and made them attack her even more because they were just looking for a response of some kind and she wouldn't give it to them. Carla is a strong personality and she probably just wants to talk things out, but because she comes off so strong, Joelle refuses to interact with her because she feels under attack. I'm guessing that part of Joelle's not being able to cope with the attacks led to her not working out as hard, or maybe she binged when she went home to vote that week, which is why she didn't lose any weight that week. Also if what she said is true about Bob, he has lost the little bit of respect i had left for him.

Good TV? Bob, WTF?! And yeah, if Joelle had been a yelling, screaming, confrontational bitch on the ranch, other contestants probably would have been less likely to attack or pick on her. Although I'm not a fan of Joelle, I do feel bad for her a little, being humiliated on national TV and all.

There is no way Joelle is the first person in this shows history that Bob snapped on. He's all about the game as well. Jillian at least tries to stay out of game mode and focuses on bettering her team.

Remove this ad Well, Bob being a screeching queenie psycho is no surprise, but I still feel like Joelle finds excuses for her behavior instead of owning up to it. This show definitely wasn't the place for her and I'm surprised she was cast on it. I have to wonder how Jillian would've dealt with her over Bob and if that even would've helped. sugarless gum is people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! I am pertitioning the title of this thread be changed to that.
