Were 'Biggest Loser' Contestants Right to Walk Off the Show?

They are employees of a game show - they have every right to protest changes to their contract. Is it going to help - NO! But I really don't see how this season is that bad - remember Vicky and Heba from Season 6 - now that was a bitch fest!

life is full of twist and turns. I don't believe anyone told you that life was fair. What is wrong with bring someone back and giving them a chance. Plus look at Conda's brother week what 12 when most contestants would be losing single digit's he pulls an 11 lb loss.
I thought better of Buddy until he walked off but the other 4 have been the biggest whinners and the ones that complain the most about others they think rules apply to others but not them. I think they thought it's easy street. if the 5 walk off they don't have a prayer to win any money so let the babies walk and let's visit with them a year from the walk off and see how well they did keeping it off anything over a 10lb gain is a failure.

I hope they keep walking and don't come back. I do not understand why they all do what BIG CONDA tells them to do. I read that two will not return and I hope one is Conda!

I have watched every season of TBL, and let me tell you: this is one of the best gameshows for humanity out there right now. Most other game shows focus on that big ol' cash prize at the end, which is great...but as great as changing people's lives and inspiring others to do so as well.
With that said, these contestants knew EXACTLY what they were getting into. Bringing back eliminated players has been done before and should have been expected. A lot of the times, players get voted off for off-the-wall reasons that really do warrent a second chance at the prize.
To those saying this show is abuse: take a look in the mirror and at your life. You think you can stuff your face with unhealthy foods and remain inactive and expect results by doing nothing? I can assure...this is not abuse to work hard and eat right and to push your body in the right direction! Abuse is not taking care of yourself and making exuses for it. In the end...you will pay the ultimate price with a pre-mature death.....that is unless you PUSH yourself and your body to break those years of accumulative bad habits.

BL does this every season since the first one and if these people watched they had to know that. One season 2 sets of couples who didn't make it as contestants were given a chance to earn their way on the show anyway in 30 days. If people don't like it, don't apply to go on. All of those on here agreeing with the contestants - you're as lame as they are. This show isn't supposed to be about the money - that's just the icing on the cake. These are people some of whom weigh more than 2 times what their body weight should be. It's about getting help to get the weight off or at least get one hell of a good start. The prize is the experience of the ranch. if you think the biggest part is the money you're dead wrong and some prior contestants have said that, too. To reiterate, the show does this every year. If this bunch didn't like it, don't come on the show. Even Bob Harper has come out and said this is the worst bunch of contestants the show has ever had.

AT LEAST, IT GIVES THEM THE FEELING OF WINNING THE RIGHT TO WALK OFF.

I am so addicted to Biggest Loser but this season is really unreal. I bet Conda is the ringleader to this walk off. I can't believe the contestants this season. This show is doing them a service by helping them lose weight. They need the show and if they have a problem with the way it's being done then LEAVE!!! I'm sure there are hundreds of other people that would take their place in a heartbeat. I am also banking that this season will come down to Conda and Kim because of the fear of their retaliation. Really unbelievable!! I can't wait for this season to be over and a new set of contestants..

They are the biggest bunch of whiners this show has ever had.

It's a GAME SHOW people! the walkoff adds a fun twist but the contestants don't make the rules.............obviously, they are young and immature for the most part. It's like a bunch of little kids who didn't get what they wanted.

The contestants are given the opportunity to lose weight and should be open to sharing that possiblity with other people even if they were kicked off the show. i think this group is a bunch of whiny selfish individuals. You always hear past contestants say "pay it forward" and even losing challenges "Aida" so that their friends could win the prize. This group I do not feel connected too. They have a nasty vibe, especially Conda...hello let's let her walk off, maybe the group would seem happier.

to protest the show's announcement that they might bring back eliminated contestants.

WHY NOT????

Years ago 'Big Brother' started returning previously eliminated contestants. Technically the series are classified as 'Soap Opera' type dramas and not actual game-shows so there is nothing actually forbidding it - however - once you do that you blow the premise entirely and what motivation is there to play along with the alleged rules? Why should you battle, use wits, invent strategies or in this case push yourself when it can just as easily be 'canceled out'.

atleast it was exercise

It just seems they ate abusive to the contestants. Its not.normal to lose. 20 or30 pounds in a week. How healthy is it really. Starvation excerise 16 of 24 hours and rhe getting in your face scteamimg at your lard ass...that must help allot. Im goi.g to quit wstching

They are somewhat abusive but these lard asses need it. Some have NEVER exercised in their lives. They have no idea how to get started. And you have to realize a lot of the big weight loss in the beginning weeks is because these people are eating normally for the first time in their lives. No more gorging and drinking gallons of soda - your body responds to that with hugh losses in water weight. They are on a 1200 calorie diet - which is strict - but not starvation. Think of it as 12 sweet potatoes or 6 bowls of oatmeal a day. Boring - but it will fill you up.

Lol...yeah well couldn't they eat a 1200 diet at home sn lose weight watching T v. I could. Lol. Funny Not that there lard assess but the sweet potatoes and oatmeal lol

Yes,that was being unfair to them! It's always great to see someone take a stand to say,"Do the right thing!"

The season of "No Excuses" is jam packed with them, and it is almost impossible to find anyone to root for.

I imagine their excuse for this is already being subjected to the return of the Aqua team who failed the challenge to get on the ranch. Though, it can be said the guy on the Aqua team destroyed himself by coming in as a loudmouth with a large ego which made Conda's bullying all too easy.

There have been returns of an eliminated contestant or two for several seasons. The Aqua team this season was questionable, given they had to prove they didn't need the ranch in order to get there.

Watching these people is terrible, and Dolvett's team is the worst. He has done nothing to actually deal with the issues of his team members, and Bob can only do so much. This season is downhill, and I feel sorry for the people under contract that are stuck with this group until the end.

They voted the folks off for a reason. That's the whole point of the elimination, otherwise, they wouldn't have it. I don't get the reasoning behind this.

I don't thing they signed a contract, so they can quit any time, but why would you bring back someone you eliminated

They did sign a contract or you'd have spoilers everywhere and yes they can break it by leaving BUT they are subject to lawsuits if they talk to reporters or badmouth the show. If they break the contract they forfiet all monies and future endorsements - wonder why we never hear about the Olympic weight lifter? He walked off into oblivion.

I believe the show that this was about will 4/17. I stand corrected about them not signing a contract, have you ever said something without thinking, I did with my original answer.

So I've never watched this show, but I answered because I think they have a point. I also wanted to ask... why is Santa on the biggest loser?? Wasn't his wife trying to fatten him up in the first place? "Eat, Papa. EAT!"

Its a game and the rules should be known in advance. Producers are just manipulating the contestants for ratings strategy.

And your point is? Since when has anyone in show biz had the right to know the full product they are involved in? Producers produce their vision - the actors are just props.

ANd your point is?

OMG what a bunch of losers

sure why not...

Does not sound fair, once eliminated there gone, why a 2nd oppertunity. They were given the chance to accomplish something they have had trouble with for a vry long time & lost that oppertunity, bye bye & good luck...

Don´t blame them.

Just use it as motivation to better yourself... it's not your show. I would just shut it down and find new contestants if I were NBC.

The same as any other "big business" that only plays by its own rules...

...caring les and less about the "little guy"

I thought in this case they (the contestants) were the "bigger" guys.

It would certainly take a bigger man than me.

Yup evil big business.

They are under contract so should the studio stick with one too. If you are eliminated then that's what the word means....bye bye. Not see ya later when we need ya.
