And no, before someone says it, she does not need to shut her yapper because of her love/hate relationship with food... although, that probably wouldn't hurt. Now before I say something else that may be construed as offensive, let me preface all of this with exactly what I said the last time I complained about someone on The Biggest Loser:
"Because what I'm about to write may come across as sounding harsh and insensitive, let me preface all of this by saying that I love The Biggest Loser and have nothing but the utmost respect for the contestants and what they go through on the show.
In a world saturated with reality shows, The Biggest Loser is one of the few that still comes across as "real." You can't script a 100lb. weight loss."
OK, the formalities are out of the way, so let's get to the point: why is Heba being such a bitch?!?
Heba (or as I call her, "Satan's Refrigerator") has taken the act of bitchiness to an entirely new level. After this past Tuesday's episode, I'm rooting against her for the remainder of the season. The truly sad thing about this entire situation is that if she really isn't a mean person, then that would mean that it's just far too easy to manipulate her. So if that is the case, then all of her "I'm smart and know what I'm doing" talk is falling on deaf ears because she doesn't have a clue. Then again, it could also just be years of repressed anger rearing it's chubby head.
After she called out Phil in the kitchen for "hating her," I couldn't help but laugh. Consider where she's getting her info - one of only two "couples" who are still on the same team! Vicky and Brady! Hasn't it crossed Heba's mind once that she might be getting played? She took one conversation that Phil and Brady had and somehow it turned into a manifesto of true hatred? Brady was in the middle, so you do the math.
Whether any of this would make sense to her or not, what it boils down to is how she chose to handle the info - with the bitch switch turned way up. She could have been far more pleasant during her confrontation with Phil, who's arguably one of the most timid guys this show has ever seen. Does he seem like the hating type?
As much as I'd love to be a fly on Heba's wall to hear what she's thinking when the cameras are off, the more I think about it, I'd prefer not to if only because I'm terrified that she'd bust out some mountain yeti reflexes and eat me. OK... well not really, but Heba does need to get her act and her facts straight ASAP or her erratic behavior is simply going to add fuel to Vicky and Brady's argument to vote her off the next time they lose a challenge. Heba's a fool if she thinks Amy will side with her when the time comes. Take some of your own advice Heba: shut-up and lose weight.

Heba is the most miserable person I have ever seen and I really hope she reads all these negative comments about her. I hope she gets the boot real soon she's a horrible person and doesn't deserve to be on there. Get over yourself Heba!

I interpreted her whole tirade as "How dare you try and come between me and my team mates like the way I'm trying to come between you and your teammates."

I was rolling on the floor when she declared that she was being the bigger person (in a forgiving way, not weight-wise, although that could be funny too). If you have say that you're being the bigger person, you're probably not being the bigger person - you're just being an idiot.

Dont yall know Heba is playing the game....
Heba knows what she is doing and along with losing a crap ton of weight she is impressivley weeding the "losers" out of the game. Yall would be doing the same thing if you on the show.

But see that's the thing - she's a hypocrite as well!!! Ever since that temptation that she won to split up the teams she's had it out for Phil - for a really stupid reason. I believe it was a personal attack to split up Amy and Phil. And then to go off on him in front of his whole team and tell him what a hateful person he is... And then say on camera that "This is about weight loss, not playing games" yada yada yada, Phil's so evil. Freaking hypocritical psychotic bitch.

I love the Biggest Loser - it's one of my favorite shows, but honestly, both my husband and I cannot stand HEBA. So much that I really don't want to watch the show anymore. Add to the fact that Vicky is a spiteful bitch doesnt help matters. Go Black Team!!!!

Brad youre a true moron. Heba is maybe the most worthless player ever. She is being played by Vickie who is so obviously not there for weight loss. I think they are both the antithesis of what this show is all about and need to go home. Its a shame that 2 people can make a mockery out of something that is supposed to be a life changing experience.

AMEN! Heba is awful, and I'd just like to say that Vicky and Brady are right there with her. They are all coniving, mean people who, as mentioned by someone else are creating drama to get air time. They are SO selfish and immature! Down with the Blue Team! (Except for Amy)

I am so happy someone said it! My wife and I can't stand her. Phil was such a good dude just looking out for his wife, but this bitch just lost what little respect I had for her after the last episode. Does anyone else think that Vicky is evil? Something about her just rubs me the wrong way - like when she didn't want to see the videos of her kids - what kind of person would even say that?

I can't help thinking Vickie is a sociopath. She is completely narcissistic. Her husband is only of value because he's useful to her. She doesn't seem to be particularly sympathetic towards him. I've never seen her tender or empathic towards anyone.

I think Heba is a dope for not voting Brady that last episode. In the end, a married couple is just going to turn on you.

Maybe her behavior is an effect of withdrawal. I get bitchy without a regular Krispy Kreme infusion.

Heba is pretty awful, especially after the way she dealt with Phil this week, but, Vicky is the worst. Clearly only there for the money and acts like puppet master with Brady and Heba.
How can the show save Amy from her own awful team? She'll be the next one out on that team if they don't merge soon.
