Liveblogging season premiere of The Biggest Loser

9:58 p.m. -- She lost 60 pounds since the time she was sent home. Alexandra looks amazing. Thus ends my live-blogging for the night -- I need to shower and get ready for work tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoyed this!

9:56 p.m. -- Alexandra goes home. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

9:51 p.m. -- Unfortunate that it came down to the last team - the Red team - to decide who goes home and who stays. There's 9 minutes left and I thought maybe in this time they'd bring back Tracey, but instead they just cut to a commercial.

9:46 p.m. -- I'm zoning out while Alexandra and Julio are pleading with the other contestants their cases for staying. Deliberations begin.

9:42 p.m. -- My butt's beginning to hurt from sitting so long in one spot on the couch with my laptop. "Coach Mo" lost 19 pounds, 5.35% weight loss on his own. The Black team is up for elimination this week. I wouldn't be sad to see either of them go.

9:38 p.m. -- The Black team is up. Alexandra and Julio lose a combined 26 pounds. Alexandra says she thought Julio would have put up a higher number. They both lost the same amount of weight, but Julio weighs 100 pounds more than Alexandra. I don't blame her for being pissed, I would be too. But, they all are in the same position. They're all fat and need to lose weight. No one should be blaming another this early on, because if they ate healthy and worked out they probably wouldn't weigh as much as they do now.

9:32 p.m. -- It was good shocking looks on their faces, as the Red team - Antoine and Sean - lost a combined 40 pounds, 4.93% weight loss. The Brown team is up, which I'm calling the older-people team. Liz the grandma lost 10 pounds, and Danny lost 24 pounds, combined percentage weight-loss of 4.88%. I love Liz. But I can't get over her being a grandmother before age 50! The Green team, Allen and Abby, go up and lose a combined 34 pounds and 5.94% weight loss. Abby starts crying again and... are those tears I see Jillian crying? Abby is making sure that every Wednesday morning I will have red-rimmed eyes. Bob looks shocked to see Jillian crying. I'm a little surprised too, but Jillian is human.

9:22 p.m. -- It's weigh in time, and Tracey is still in the hospital. Mo will be weighed by himself. The Orange team is up first. Daniel went from 312 to 300, and Shay went from 476 to 459. In total, they lost 29 pounds. Because Daniel won immunity, they're safe from elimination. The Pink team is up next. Amanda went from 250 to 244, and Rebecca went from 279 to 261. They lost 24 pounds together, with a percentage weight loss of 4.54%. Blue team next: Rudy went from 442 to 414 (losing 28 pounds), Dina lost eight pounds, total loss of 36 pounds with a percentage weight loss of 5.18%. Black team goes up and they hide the results, but show shocked faces of the contestants looking at the weigh scores. Commercial.

9:18 p.m. -- It's commercial time, wait, no it's not. Alison and the trainers hawk Brita filtered water.

9:15 p.m. -- Sean breaks down. He looks like he's more upset about having diabetes than he is about weighing so much. Jillian says to Black-shirted Alexandra, "Fuck 'ow'." Great quotes from the trainers this season premiere. I'm getting a little sick of the sob stories and only feel bad for Abby and the pain she had losing her entire family.

9:13 p.m. -- My internet just decided to spaz out on me right as Jillian was calling everyone her bitch.. I wish I could have gotten some direct quotes. She yells at Black-shirthed Julio. Still no sign of Purple team Tracey.

9:06 p.m. -- Shay's body is over 57 percent fat. Her biological age is 45, and her real age is 29. Shay says her mother died at age 48. This show is flying by, commercial time.

9:03 p.m. -- The contestants travel to a California health institute to be evaluated, and also to be researched about obesity. All weird-looking machines, and people's arteries being ultra-sounded. Sean (Red team) is told he has Type-2 diabetes, which he didn't think he had. Mo's biological age is calculated at 69, which is 11 years his real age.

9:00 p.m. -- Shay decides to walk back in and immediately repremanded by Jillian, who says "if you quit on me one more time you're going home." Good to see Jillian take no prisoners, as usual. Shay completes the 20 seconds on that ladder treadmill. Back at home, Mo, the 58 year old coach on the Purple team, arrives back from the hospital. He says he was dehydrated amongst other things. Tracey is still in the hospital.

8:53 p.m. -- The Jillian-screaming-amazingness begins. Shay deserves to be yelled at, 476 pounds for a 30 year old woman is unacceptable. Bob gets into scream-mode too, yelling at Shay and swearing. Shay walks out of the gym after refusing to use a ladder treadmill for another 20 seconds.

8:50 p.m. -- And the workouts begin, along with the product promotion. The first one is for 24hour fitness band-type-thing. Jillian announces the contestants will be training with both trainers this season. No sign of the missing Purple team.

8:49 p.m. -- Bob goes, "Oh my god, this girl is big." He also says Daniel has the perfect teammate right now, or vice versa. Shay is 30 years old.

8:41 p.m. -- The first reveal of Bob and Jillian since the show began 41 minutes ago! The weigh-in to begin. Pink team is up first - Amanda weighs 250, Rebecca weighs 279 with a combined total of 529 pounds. Green team next - Allen weighs 325, Abby weighs 247, combined weight of 572. Everyone else flies by... DVR PLEASE!! Orange team is next, Shay and Daniel. Daniel wears 312, Shay weighs 476 pounds, with a total 788. She starts crying, and then the show goes to a commercial.

8:38 p.m. -- Time for everyone to pair up. Daniel is first and chooses Shay. I love Daniel, he is such a sweetheart. Allen, the firefighter, chooses Abby for his partner. Amanda chooses Rebecca for her partner, they become the pink team. I've fallen behind! Alexandra chooses Julio, the last one picked. I'm assuming the two people from the hospital - and I'm right - will be Team Purple. Alison says the weigh-in is about to begin. I really need a DVR.

8:31 p.m. -- The first person to discuss is a man who is a firefighter/EMT who discussed his pain on being too exhausted to help Tracey (the woman who collapsed) and how it hurt him. There'a former college football player who continued adding on pounds after college ended. Rebecca laments about being called fat "all her life but being told she has a pretty face." Another woman, Shay, has a mother who was a heroin addict - this is also the woman who is supposed to be the heaviest contestant on The Biggest Loser ever - taking Daniel's title from last season. Another man talks about his family, he didn't say his name. Abby has probably the saddest story - she lost her entire family (her 2 1/2 week son, 5 year old daughter, and husband) in a car accident. Tears in my eyes, and other contestants are either crying or trying not to cry. "Abby's story just punched me right in the face," Sean, the youth pastor, says in a confessional. Another commercial. Mr. RR asks if I need tissues.

8:30 p.m. -- Alison tells the contestants the other two that were taken to the hospital are now resting comfortably at the hospital and are well. They aren't out of the competition. She tells the remaining contestants, in a very zen

8:25 p.m. -- Contestants all raise a similar point - this could have easily have been them laying on the stretcher being loaded into a medflight. And... another commercial. Time to eat popcorn!

8:23 p.m. -- Close to tears watching blue-shirt mom trying hard to move and many contestants accompany her over the finishing line... where she falls to the ground completely. This is the same woman who was almost sprinting at the beginning of the race. She's become completely pale. I'm no doctor... but she does not look good at all.

8:21 p.m. -- Daniel wins, finishing in shortly under 15 minutes. Others begin trickling in after the 15 minute mark. A mother in a light blue shirt falls to the ground and begins crawling on all fours. Another contestant, a man in a black shirt, is getting oxygen. The blue-shirt mom refuses to give up and doesn't look good.

8:19 p.m. -- It's sad that after only a few seconds of light jogging most competitors have begun walking and panting, or completely stopping. Shay, a social worker, says she is a size 32 and "spilling out of that."

8:18 p.m. -- Challenge reward is immunity and to pick their own partner? Sounds like a deal. And begin running.. NOW!

8:16 p.m. -- The surprise person is Daniel from last season! He comes out of the car dressed in his orange shirt. Alison says he is the official sixteenth player. He weighed 454 pounds when he arrived last season -- the heaviest person ever on The Biggest Loser - until tonight!

8:15 p.m. -- Mr. RR and I took the commercial break to argue over if we should make popcorn for a snack during the show or eat pringles. Over a short debate... we decided on popcorn. I don't know what it is about this show that makes me want to eat.

8:12 p.m. -- One more surprise? Someone's driving up in a black car. Everyone screams... aaaaaand commercial!

8:10 p.m. -- They all run off the bus. Mr. RR goes, "They're all out of breath." They're showing clips from the marathon from last season's episode. Alison says they will be literally following in their footsteps - doing the last, final mile of the marathon from last season on the beach.

8:08 p.m. -- Alison, the host, lost all the baby weight from last season! If she can do it... everyone else can, too.

8:06 p.m. -- When you can't fit in a college seat, that's when you know you have a problem. Danny (green-shirted musician) looked very thin in his younger days. I'm amazed the grandmother on the show is only 49 years old.

8:04 p.m. -- I could do without the vomit shots, thx.

8:03 p.m. -- Is it bad that the first time I saw the helicopter rescuing the girl who couldn't breathe I was worried the helicopter would crash because she was so heavy?

8:02 p.m. -- Daniel's back from last season! I feel bad that he had a partner last year who really didn't care about working out as much as Daniel did. Hopefully, without all that dead weight (pun very much intended) Daniel will do better. Jillian scares the shit out of me... looks like more crying from contestants this season.

8:00 p.m. -- We're about to begin!! I'm almost excited enough to count all the product placement shoutouts they give on this show. I admit, I watched this show for the first time only last season.
