Re: Yay... Vicky lost on Biggest Loser

I like the premise of the show, but haven't watched lately. Can one lose by exhibiting bad behavior or is it strictly "by the numbers" (i.e., they don't lose enough weight)?
Unfortunately, bad behavior won't get you kicked out... and this season, there was a pair of women that were just EVIL. Vicky and Heba.
Vicky basically stated from the start that she was only in it for the money, and that any lost weight would be gravy. For challenges where you won material goods, she was super competitive, but when the challenges were for calls or letters from her kids, she would quit early because she said they weren't worth the effort - and yeah, she actually said that.
When people did poorly in weigh ins, she'd smirk or laugh out loud at them. She did this A LOT.
Vicky was just about the worst person ever shown on The Biggest Loser, and she ended up in the final 3... fortunately, she lost and neither she nor her husband won any money.
The Biggest Loser used to be so inspirational, and all about helping people change their lives for the better through education and disciplined work outs. This season, it was more like Survivor, and the "gameplay" took over with back stabbing, alliance bullying, and general awfulness.
