The Biggest Loser: Season 5 at the Halfway Mark

What was once ten teams of two, has now become two teams divided among ten players - five Blue team, five Black team. After 7 grueling weeks, the remaining contestants are halfway to their goal of becoming this year's Biggest Loser. But at what cost to the emotional well-being of the players? This week especially, tensions were flying high on the eve of Jackie's elimination from the Blue team, as her son Dan felt betrayed by his fellow teammates. Other contestants fought with and started to come to terms with their emotional and psychological demons which have been a major cause of their weight gain problems. It seems as though The Biggest Loser was doing it's best with editing the show this week in such a way that would bring us to tears. This week's show was truly one of the best shows of the season by far. It brought to light the issues that so many people deal with at the root of their weight gain and subsequently, the issues that contribute to their weight loss difficulties.
