Let's vote for team spirit

Why all the bickering? Where's the support for your teammates through thick or thin. (not meant to be a pun) Prize or no prize it would be great to see stick-togetherness and true support. "Yea, I don't really get along with this person but we a teammates and I will put that first'. Seems to me the bottom line should be support and not what can we win! Sort-of like a war zone mentality...we are all going to make it through together and get out alive and happy. I would really like to see a mental change by the groups to stay together and fight till the end! I hope nobody votes nobody off and Dr. Phil has no choice but to leave them together to regroup! I hope they show all America that team spirit is the true issue and NOT money or PRIZES! Kris Holladay

I don't think anyone's going to be kicked off

Just like nobody was kicked off the original 13, I don't think anyone's going to be kicked off this time either.
Then why would Dr. Phil put them through this? Simple: it's a character test. I have always believed (and many of you do too, I'm sure) that a person's true character comes out under pressure. Turn up the pressure, see how folks react.
Tell the participants they can kick somebody out, and see if they start to sabatage others in their group. See if they suddenly turn from sweet and friendly to backstabbing and bitchy. Or, do they help to rally their team to make sure none of them "get booted off the island."

Dr McGraw, no doubt, has a reason for this threat of being kicked off the team. There are many people in this world who are simply going along for the ride on the backs of others. These same people can sabotage the chances of the rest of team from winning the award. Remember there is such a thing as teamwork, working together for a common purpose.
We should not forget that there is a reason why people have a weight problem, something buried deep in the past of which Dr. McGraw has the desire rooting out.

Everyone is in this weight loss challenge for one basic reason to lose weight. The people on the teams that are not doing as well as the others need help. They don't need to be hounded because they are holding other teammates back. Maybe, someone who is very good at one thing could help the person who is not doing as well. But, I don't think anyone should be voted off. If there is a problem after each team tries to solve it that is where Dr. Phil should step in to solve the problem even if that means drastic. I don't think anyone who has come that far should be let off that easy.
Just a thought

Bickering needs to stop

I sit in my home and wonder why some of the challengers are bickering about this and that. I thought they were there to get help with loosing weight and to come to terms with why they got to the size that they are now.Come on challengers I would be oh so happy to have all that help at my disposal to help me reach my weight goal. But I don't and that is ok with me I can do it with out having it all at my finger tips. I think some of them are bored out of thier everloving minds and are tired of being there 24 7. If that is the case they need to step back and let the others who are serious about loosing weight get on with their goal. I wish everyone the best with thier goal and I love to watch what does happen on the show and hearing that others are succeeding.
Good Luck all

Losing weight alone is a major challenge. "Words" can be very damaging items in the results of a successful weight loss. Stop arguing, you;ve missed the point. Stop arguing and get you own act togehter, sure its team effort but it boils down to YOU and your reaction to this fantastic adventure..

Been there done that..bought the rabbit food!

I find this very hard to accept. I don't believe that any of thr 13 are capable or should be allowed to judge the progress of others. Weeall come from different life situations and some of our problems can take awhile to sort out. Please Dr. Phil..DON'T ALLOW ANY OF THE 13 TO STAND IN JUDGEMENT OF ANY OF THE OTHERS!!!
Gaining a healthy life style and good eating patterns can not be compared to those inane survivor shows..this is real people's real lives.
God Bless!!!!

I was so surprised today to see all the anger between the teammates. I think just about every time they had Judith on the screen...she was griping about how someone "pissed her off". Sheesh. Grow up! This is a great opportunity and they are spending the whole time whining and blaming each other for things.
If I were Dr. Phil, I'd vote them all off and start over.

I do not want to see anyone get kicked off, however, everyone needs to stop playing the blame game and focus on the 7 keys. Everyone has lost weight, and has had personal improvemnent, so why all of the fueding?
For those that are not doing their best on the seven keys need to focus more on self and critize less.
After all, the bottom line is learning to be positive and accepting yourself for who you are

I think Judith has an attitude problem. And everyone is whining about angela. Hey, she finished the mile on the track. She finished it!! What is all the whining about how fast or slow she did it. I think all need to grow up.

Cloude77...thank you for saying what you did about Judith. She was UNBELIEVABLY negative!!! If I had to vote to kick someone off, it'd be her; that kind of negativity is just going to drag that group down further!

Yes - where is the team spirit? I don't watch it to hear bickering and bitching. If I wanted that, I'd watch Jerry Springer!! These people are so lucky. Maybe Dr Phil should quit focusing so much on those who bicker and bitch and more on those who support one another.

Since i work retail i don't always get to see the segments, but some of the discord and negativity that came across today bothered me. i couldn't believe that the members were complaining. do they not realize the great opportunity and resource they have been given? come on, they've got dr. phil helping them! I'm a single mom and sometimes it is a struggle to even get up in the morning. i don't have as much weight to lose as they do but look at what a privilege and the support network these people have been given!

TEAM support

The one thing that I noticed today is that there just is NOT the TEAM support. There seems to be so much of this one is not doing this and that one is not doing that....
BUT what I do not see is a true TEAM spirit.
A helping each other and a supporting and cheering on of one another....
I think if I was there I would want to cheer others on.
I really feel Dr. Phil is doing a great thin in helping them and if I was one that Dr. phil chose it would be such a blessing I would not waste ONE minute whining and complaining...
I would work as a team....

I find all of this to be nothing more than a survivor episode. Everyone seems to be out to get the other one instead of working together to achieve an ultimate goal. Sounds like nothing more than just a bunch of people out to be mean to another person.

I agree with your statement...thanks for sharing it...
Years ago I worked for a company that had the motto: Excellence in Teamwork"
When management found out that everyone was bickering among themselves and having all kinds of attitude problems, they sent out a memo asking what was wrong.
My reply back to management was that people first had to have the word "teamwork" defined for them, because no one knows or understands what it means.

Come on this is television hype. Yes, we have recieved amazing help and advice. However, these people were put on teams and everyone knew that people could be kicked off in November. They are humans and when we are put in a group of people to deal with our stuff. We have a tendency to judge others for what we hate most about ourselves.
