It seems as if Melissa is stacking all of the cards against her. Immunity is what feels priceless on the Biggest Loser campus, however this week I’m not sure it’s worth it especially with the reaction of Miggy and Migdalia! Two pounds against anyone seems like a death sentence but particularly with the green team and man are they ticked. I think that the stress I would have after giving them that penalty would be enough stress for me to personally create enough Cortizol in my body to prevent me from losing any weight. If there was one week that I honestly think Melissa’s body might hold on to weight, this would be it J
What a Challenge, the grey team kicked some serious butt! I love when the contestants give it their all not receive immunity or cash prize but to hear there voices of their loved ones. At this point on campus none of the contestants have heard from their families since they left them after that original weigh in their home towns and trust me when I say it makes a difference. Although the red team seems to have been causing some problems on campus, mostly for themselves I might add, I was glad that Koli and Sam gave them a phone call home so that they might get to talk to their kids for the children’s sake. Can you imagine how season after season there is always at least 1 family who both parents go to the Biggest Loser and the children stay home. I think the kids are the heroes in that equation. I was glad the Miggy and Migdalia got to call home too particularly for Migdalia. We have seen her struggle with her own walls and demons opf self-worth in these few short weeks on campus. I think that the fact that her partner and lover, her husband will not be home but sent off to serve our country during her time on campus is weigh particularly heavy on her heart and he thoughts and her shoulders. I imagine that she is feeling the worry of her kids feeling left by her and than before she gets to come home and show them that she did not leave them but just went to take care of herself, their dad will be sent away with neither of them left to hold and console them. For me it’s different then Lance and Melissa leaving their kids because they know for sure both of them will be returning and as much as we might pray for all our soldier return home safely the reality is that not all do. So my heart sank for Migdalia as she talked to her family and actually voiced the words that she wants to go home, because I believe her. I know she is scared of her own issues but that is not why I believe she wants to go home, it’s a tough feeling that I’m sure she struggles with daily since she decided to try out for the show.
All I can say and say it loud and clear, after watching the last chance workout, I would not want to be walking into that weigh in, actually from the moment the penalties were handed out from the pop challenge I think I’ve been a little on edge I must admit.
Don’t you just love how Ali has to put different things so that tensions rise? I mean come one calling Lance and Melissa out “….. Because of you John didn’t have access to the gym this week, because of you Michael won’t have a vote at tonight’s elimination and because of you Miggy and Migdalaia will have a 2 pound disadvantage this week” Hold on to your hats ladies and gentlemen it’s almost like the fight you heard about at lunch time in Junior High school that was going to happen after school by the baseball field, remember that feeling?
And then she did it Melissa opened her mouth and had to be “right” about her choices and then she goes walking up to the scale to be “right” again. For crying out loud does she not get it, she even said it as she walked up to the scale “there will be no yelling tonight“
WHAT PART DOES MELISSA NOT UNDERSTAND THAT SUDDENLY LOSING WEIGHT THE WEEK THAT THE PEER PRESSURE IS ON, EVEN IF SHE HAD IMMUNITY, DOES NOT PROVE THAT THIS WEEK HER BODY FINALLY GOT IT? INSTEAD IT VARRIFIES THAT HER SUDDEN WEIGHT LOSS SHOWSTHAT SHE HAS BEEN THROWING THE PREVIOUS WEIGH-INS AND LYING ABOUT IT!!!!!
What an awkward energy in the weigh-in tonight. Can I just say all that aside, I love Michael J Alright it comes down to it the pink team or the green team and it doesn’t even matter that the green team would have fallen below on their own because the focus was not on them doing the best this week but to prove something. Anytime we attempt to something to for someone else and not for ourselves, it just doesn’t work! I know this because have lived both sides of the coin.
I must say I’m not surprised on one level of Migdalia wanting to go home, I was a little taken back by the abrupt way she went about her sharing with the group. I must also say I wish she hadn’t done it and I hope that she will find her way at home and will find solace in the few days she might have with her husband. Give him lots of hugs and kisses from all us for sharing you with us and thank him for serving our country!
Until next week- Ali xo
