Ye Haw! No matter what, in season 7 NO one worked harder or had more integrity than Tara. That woman rocks!! I loved her determination and her attitude. I thought she got thoroughly ROBBED at the finale. Although I am sure it hurt Tara to not have won, it was clear that she was not in it for the money. Think about how many times she turned down money prizes to stay in the game for the sole purpose of reaching her weight loss dreams. AND SHE DID!! You go Tara, you are an inspiration and a hero in my book!!

Erin- Season 9 is for ‘couples’ but they encourage those people without couples to attend an open call anyway, because sometimes their requirements change or they throw curveballs (remember Bernie and Brittany)…. so GO FOR IT! I’m going as a single too in KC! Good luck!

Erin-

The information we have provided here regarding casting couples is coming directly from NBC. Per press releases we’ve received and information provided on the casting site at NBC, season 9 is casting for couples/teams of two.

Good luck.

Im just curious… i really wanted to go out to Detroit to audition on the 27th, but i am not slightly confused. On one site it says it is for couples but feel free to audition alone if you dont have a partner. Here, it says only couples… can someone please clarify this for me so i dont waste my time or theirs?

While Helen was not my favorite ether, I have to disagree with the other posts. One of the things both Bob and Jillian preach is to finally “put yourself first, Stop worrying about others and concentrate on you getting healthy”. Yes, Most parents would push their kid and sacrifice themselves but then either die from the health risks or continue serving the foods that got them there in the first place, not having learned about eating healthy.
Just my opinion.

I so agree with everyone about Helen. I to agree that she was selfish and should have given her daughter the chance. I to agree that it would be cool to have Mike’s brother on the next show.

I think that you are all assuming that Helen didn’t talk or support her daughter. We only see a part of what is filmed I am sure. Of course they are going to make the show more interesting by not showing everything. I am sure that Helen and her daughter had alot of conversation about who would go home. so yeah Helen
It is harder for older people to loose the weight.

I totally agree Mike’s brother should be on the show – his teammate should be the younger orange team guy. I say give him a 2nd chance!

I think maybe you guys are being to hard on Helen. Although she was not my favorite, I think because she was older she had more health issues than Shannon. She needed to get healthy and in that way she would be an inspiration to Shannon. Hopefully, Shannon will take what Helen brought home and get herself in control and healthy. She deserves it.
