So last night I watched the new season of The Biggest Loser: Couples.  There were three things that stood out to me.

First, we finally found out that the thing strapped to the contestants arms is called a Body Bugg.  I remember seeing alot about Jell-O and Brita last season, but this is the first mention I’ve seen of this device.  Supposedly it measures your caloric burn.  I’m curious just how well it actually works.

Secondly, the ambulance that supposedly drove away over the grass was fake.  It was definitely a Hollywooded ambulance, because it had absolutely no writing on the side or the back.  Additionally, we’re not going to drive over grass when there is a perfectly good road.  Really… sell the drama if you want but try to make it realistic at least.

Finally, they have a “couple” on there of former models from Miami in the Green Team of Tara Costa and Laura Denoux (pictured on the right).  So of course, there was drama of Tara puking on the treadmill.  These are former models after all, so this is to be expected.  The best part was Jillian‘s answer:  Toughen up cupcake.  Classic.

It’s going to be a good season.
