Everyone faces Herculean challenges this week on "The Biggest Loser: Couples." The Losers discover they have to run a marathon. The viewing audience discovers it has to watch what felt like 26.2 hours of filler and product shilling. Just get ON with it!
Wow, this was one fillerific episode of "The Biggest Loser: Couples," wasn't it? Did we really need all those montages and reminders of "the journey" -- and if we DID need to see that, couldn't they at least have used Journey as the background music? Come on, show -- when you give me nothing but filler, I have to make my own fun.
Every season on this show, there's a point where a competitor has chance to trade in a ridiculous amount of money for a one-pound credit. We've reached that moment on "The Biggest Loser: Couples." So what happens?
It was a tough night on "The Biggest Loser: Couples". Yeah, we got makeovers, but even that couldn't make up for a heartbreaking reversal of fortune for a competitor who had really been growing on me. They eliminated the right person for the right reasons, but that didn't make it any easier to take.
As you can imagine, last week's failed ouster of Ron made things Un! Comfort! Able! on "The Biggest Loser: Couples." So when the Losers were given the opportunity and a plausible reason to drown their discomfort with calories... well, most of them did.
"The Biggest Loser: Couples" has me nearly apoplectic with rage and bile, as someone comes back to the ranch, someone leaves, and someone (cough RON! cough) needs to disappear from my TV screen before I do some serious damage to my electronics.
"The Biggest Loser: Couples" takes a trip to the playground this week as we see who's popular, who's picked on, and who's going to cry. Plus, we switch to one-on-one competition, but some of the competitors have trouble letting GroupThink go.
"The Biggest Loser: Couples" sent everyone home this week, let them run wild in their natural habitat, and gave them a quasi-legitimate reason to eat gargantuan cookies. Ooh, sugary sabotage! Yum!
Apparently the Bad-Decision Fairy paid a visit to The Biggest Loser: Couples this week and hit everyone with her stupid-stick. I can't decide what infuriates me more -- the team that complains it's always losing but refuses to vote off its weakest member, the team that is so cocky that members scarf down fried chicken and tequila shots, or the production team that is doing this to my brain.
