I definitely hope you guys get in!!!! I have a deaf aunt who saw your video. she really hopes you two will get in. But whether you do or don't you will be an inspiration for thousands!
Seriously that makes me realize how silly my complaints are... Just look at that guy. He's been through so much and still he's a fighter and doesn't give up..
wow this is a really touchy video. yes i know it's hard to lose weight, i weight 235lbs-240 lbs until i start to workout so i can get better life, better self esteem, feeling more happier, so i lose weight, i got my self lost from 240lbs to 215 lbs in few months of workout. workout keeps people mind stable also. =) proud of you both.
LOL hilarious you both sat on couch make really good laughs :) couldnt stop laughing out loud :D , my spririts are with you both to have your dream comes true to have a great adventure!! <3
Why are the trainers on this show making sometimes 400lb people RUN ON A TREADMILL? I watched the show last night and theres at least 5 people on the show with Knee Braces on. One lady has an aftificial knee. And there still instructing them to run?WTF. When someone is that obese running can not be good for their knees. Why not low impact workouts until they at least get to 300lbs
Smile858890, No, hearies always discriminate against Deaf people. Nothing new. I have not seen Deafie on Jeopardy show. I have not seen Deafie on Wheel of Fortune. fuck hearies in hell!!!
loved your video, i want to wish you guys the best of luck at the casting call and perhaps we will see each other there!! it would be great to see a deaf couple on the show. i can hear fine but i think it would be a great experience not only for you but for the hearing contestants as well to get to know you and understand you better! I hope you two can make it far!! Good Luck!
Michelle is my cousin also. She has had some rough times and really deserves this opportunity. We used to be best of friends and I loved learning how to sign from her. Anything that makes her happy will make me happy. My fingers are crossed for her. Goodluck!
I am so excited for my cousin, Michelle. I know what it's like to start this journey, and I really hope they pick you for the show. I like seeing your face, and I know you can be a great role model for the hearing and the deaf. Good luck.
I'm Michelle's cousin and she's inspires me everyday! I think that if she can do it, then I have absolutely no excuse. I love you guys!!!!!! best, best, BEST of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am Michelle's sister and have seen first hand the struggles for deaf people in a hearing world.
Is it a pain in the rear? Yes. Did it cause depression issues for her? Yes. Is she letting it ruin the rest of her life? No.
It would be beneficial for the deaf community to have fellow "deafies" to represent a silent crow. I think that the show SHOULD chose them, not just because they are over weight but bc they can teach us and the rest of the "hearing" world issues from a deaf prospective.
I want to see u guys in the Biggest Loser!!! It would a challenge for them too. They will learn how to communicate with deaf people. It's a plus! Good luck!!!
I like this and yet I don't. It seems from this video that this couple views themselves as disabled instead of a cultural minority group. In the beginning of this video it talks about how many Americans are disabled and then how many deaf are in this world. Then Kevin says I "broke" through my disability. If anything I feel if they go on the biggest loser they should have the right view of themselves because with that kind of view it will hurt the many deaf who view themselves as a cultural
@Johnnyghill I think that the discussion of them being a cultural minority would be an excellent part of the Biggest Loser program. Biggest Loser has dealt with cultural differences on almost every show in some way. This would allow people to have that discussion in a broad format.
I like your perspective estrellamella02! And I agree with you that it's good for deaf people to have deaf role models- very important! I really hope they get chosen!
Best of luck getting on the show! You two seem like a perfect inspirational story for America! Keep fighting the good fight and good things will happen! :)
time for them to join because they are just human beings. Time to show deaf role model for EVERYONE in this world, even we have enough of hearing role model but its TIME for deaf people to have FANS, role model to look up even for children as well!!!.. so i dig them to get SELECTED!!! :)
I hope they are chosen, because they need to lose weight and because they seem like they would be enjoyable to watch on the show. I don't think they should be chosen because they are deaf. I love deaf people; but that's not a good reason to put them on the show. The show isn't about deaf or hearing people in particular. I'm hearing, BUT I'm married to a man who was born deaf; so I'm not prejudice against deaf people!
sounds so hopeful but sadly, in a hearing world, the hearing people really don't care about the deaf people anyway.. of course I am deaf too but I wish the hearing people were educated well about the deaf cultures in a first place before they even start considerating about the deaf people. I wish to your best and good luck!! I vote you both!
guys, do us a favor.. don't just look at the video and read all the comments then NOT liking it.. please please.. lord have mercy.. for the life of these two's lives..
PLEASE LIKE IT..
so we all can let them know that we are supporting them..
the DEAF community in the St. Louis and Metro area are all rooting for ya!! we love you chelle and kev!!
wow.. know what ?! my girlfriend hopes that biggest loser 12 will pick her too.. u can check her video as lavagal70 "the biggest loser" would be nice if many deafies join there too.. oh by the way her video doesnt have closed caption but there is an interpreter voice for her signs.. u can check on her video if wanna curious !! ;o) wish u all the best luck !!
I absolutely love this video!!! I think you guys have a good chance of making it into the show and I hope so! I never watch Biggest Loser but I will if you guys are on it! You both are brave for doing this-keep it up!!!!!
I think it would be absolutely wonderful if they put you two on the show - what a great story! You seem really nice, too - I struggle with emotional eating as well, and know where you're coming from there. Good luck!
GO GO GO chelle & kev!!! We all are rooting for you both, and praying that they will choose YOU BOTH!!! SHOW ME STATE, SHOW THEM WHAT WE ARE MADE OF! hugs!
Any update news? I hope you guys are working out even if you haven't heard from them. Let us know.
