Biggest Loser 2011

Well don’t know what to call this as we are so many seasons in but Biggest Loser 2011 seems good?

Anyway we are about three episodes in to the new season I guess and there has been lots of interesting drama and Biggest Loser 2011 has been fun to watch for the first time in a while for me, maybe just my motivation but I am liking it.

Trainers on Biggest Loser 2011

Biggest Loser 2011 Trainers

This season we have our old standby Bob Harper but also we have two new trainers; Dolvett Quince and Anna Kournikova. We knew what to expect from Bob Harper and he has been tough and successful but he seems to be letting the new trainers get lots of attention as well.

Dolvett Quince – Dolvett has been a great trainer and a great character. He seems to be a great trainer and super tough, pushing all of his team really hard in the gym and not giving them a chance to slack off but listening to what their bodies are saying and not their whining or mental weakness.

Out of the gym Dolvett Quince has been really great with his team. Teaching nutrition, being excited for the future, being a friend and confidante and making sure that the team members understand that he is there for them. Can you tell that I am a big fan of Dolvett Quince?

Anna Kournikova – I never understood why Anna Kournikova would be a coach on Biggest Loser 2011 but now we get to see after a few episodes how she thinks, coaches, and brings to the Biggest Loser as a trainer.

Poor Anna Kournikova got saddled with the older people which through testosterone dropping in peoples bodies as they grow older makes her job really really tough. Not fair Biggest Loser producers! Anyway to be honest I don’t tink that in the gym Anna shows a lot of emotion, she does not take crap but her team has to follow her direction and she got a couple of whiny people right out of the gate. So far Anna’s team has lost two people but really I think her emotional attachment is her greatest strength and over time (she is not an experienced trainer) will be her increasing knowledge of training others and her background of success that she can communicate.

My Favorite Biggest Loser 2011 contestants

I am enjoying watching all the people of nthe Biggest Loser thins season. I tend to find that early in the season it is hard to follow everyone so I just watch passively and start cheering later in the season. Here are the people that I have really noticed so far.

Biggest Loser 2011Antone – Antone is a whiny bitch when he is working out. I love watching him push and push and cry and then take it up a notch. This guy is great and does not give up. With all hiw weight I expect that Antone will od well this season and I look forward to watching more of his backstory as well being a former pro athlete

Biggest Loser 2011Jennifer – Jennifer is just plain fun and gets really excited about the weigh ins which is pretty important. Being in the background on TV I think that she tends to see things from the outside so she will be able to play the mental game well later on. Fun to watch and she keeps losing which is great to see.

Biggest Loser 2011Mike – Mike lost big this week, 17 pounds I think and being a teacher and football coach he knows what it takes and I always see him working hard and not complaining, just quiet in the background on Annas team.

Biggest Loser 2011Ramon – When I first saw that a tattoo artist would be on I cringed. I have no tattoos but my wife has plenty and we watch those tattoo shows and they are cocky bastards. Ramon is not. What a lovable guy, fun, outgoing, and a great friend to everyone when they let him.

The only problems that I find with Biggest Loser 2011 are the same complaints I have had for years. Recaps after commericals (chubby people don’t have memory NBC?), obvious product placements, and especially the scripted way that each episode is setup, same as every year since the show began.

How about you? What are your highlights so far? I am thinking that this season Biggest Loser 2011 will be a good one although they still need to change things up with the staleness of the shows setup.

One of the things to watch for tonight will be the new trainers. Jillian Michaels has left the Biggest Loser in search of a newer lifestyle which has left a big hole to fill. This season we have two trainers that will try to fill Jillians shoes. Dolvett Quince, a personal trainer from Atlanta and Anna Kournikova, a former top 10 pro tennis player and Maxim cover model. They may be good or bad but just like a few seasons ago with Kim Lyons and last season with Cara Castronuova and Brett Hoebel. One of these two new trainers may stick but you never know. Bob Harper has said in the past that we will stay until they get rid of him. He loves the show.

I am sure just like in past years there will be heroes and villains and people we cheer for and against. Here are this years crop:

Who is Dolvett Quince?



A couple of weeks ago the people at the Biggest Loser announced that Dolvett Quince would be joining Anna Kournikova and Bob Harper on the the Biggest Loser this season as one of the new trainers. I had to ask myself who is Dolvett Quince? So I looked around.

Who is Dolvett Quince?

Well Dolvett is a trainer with a personal fitness gym in Atlanta Georgia and after looking around a bit (I love Google) I was able to figure out that he is in fact a very popular person in the Atlanta social scene. Also Dolvett Quince is also the creator of  Me and My Chair – a workout video that is based completely around strengthening and toning your body using nothing but a chair.

Dolvett Quince Training Philosophy

Who is Dolvett Quince?

Dolvett Quince

Dolvett is only the 7th trainer in the hostory of the Biggest Loser so what can we expect from him? In interviews so far Dolvett has said that he will be tough but fair. We can take this to mean I would expect that he will be less intense than Jillian Michaels was but at the same time a very imposing guy in the gym. Being from a personal training 1 on 1 background we should expect him to understand the emotions going through people as they lose a lot of weight.

“I think in the process of training you develop your muscles and challenge yourself. Those endorphins are being built in your body and that can bring about a lot of emotion and people tend to vent,” he explained.

“During the training process you’ll see a lot of tears, some laughing, even some anger. It’s my job to be there for that person, not only as a trainer but as a friend in a lot of ways.”

Quince added: “That is why it is personal training. You want to be personal with that individual and make sure you are there for them and help them progress and get through those things.”

When do we Get to Meet Dolvett Quince?

Biggest Loser is Back soon. The new season of Biggest Loser is starting just next week on September 20th on NBC with new trainer Anna Kournikova, Dolvett Quince, and Bob Harper. Then we finally get a real answer to who is Dolvett Quince?
