endured a big loss after experiencing a major health crisis.
The Biggest Loser alum seemingly confirmed an ongoing feud with costar , revealing that in the wake of his life-threatening heart attack in February 2017, he received well-wishes from many of his colleagues on the NBC reality series—but notably did not hear from his fellow trainer.
'We weren't besties, but we were partners on a television show for a very long time,' Bob, 59, told The Guardian in an interview published Aug. 14, adding that his former costar's silence 'spoke volumes."
But the fitness expert—who coached contestants on the competition show from 2004 to 2020—stressed that the snub didn't exactly take him by surprise, adding, 'I would not expect Jillian Michaels to do anything other than what she wants to do.'
E! News has reached out to Jillian's rep for comment but has not heard back.
Shortly after his medical episode, Bob noted that despite his active lifestyle, his survival largely came down to luck.

'I had what they call a 'widow-maker,'' he explained to Today in April 2017. 'It was a six percent survival rate, and the fact that there were doctors in the gym when I had the heart attack saved my life.'
While the Traitors star ultimately lived to tell the tale, he admitted the ordeal made him see his wellness regimen through new eyes.
'After my heart attack, I really went through a complete identity crisis having to figure out what life would be like,' he told E! News in February 2018. 'It was really difficult to figure out me, the fitness guy, how everything had changed after that.'
But Bob—who got engaged to Anton Gutierrez in 2019—managed to find community among others who had similarly defied the odds, calling the experience 'a second chance at life.'
'I realize I'm part of a club—the heart attack survivors club,' he continued. 'It's never a club you want to be in, but once you're in, you find that there are other people just like you that are in need of guidance, in need of support.'

How Anson Mount Channeled Gene Roddenberry in STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS' Retro-Holodeck Episode — GeekTyrant

The latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has given us some wild swings, but last week's episode, 'A Space Adventure Hour,' took fans on one of the more interesting directions of the franchise. It dropped the crew into a stylized 1960s murder mystery on the set of a sci-fi show that looked a whole lot like Star Trek: The Original Series. It was part homage, part parody, and while a lot of fans seemed to enjoy it, I have mixed feelings. Watching Anson Mount step into the role of 'TK Bellows' was a clear nod to Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Mount did his homework and dove deep into Roddenberry's persona to play this character, studying old tapes of Roddenberry to bring an authentic flair to the performance. Director Jonathan Frakes, who helmed the episode, shared with Variety just how much care went into building the character. 'I had the privilege of working with Gene for three or four years before he died. Anson and I started really wanting to lean into Gene, and he asked me to get some tapes which I was able to track down from the Roddenberry Association. 'We were really into him doing Gene, but I think [executive producers] Akiva [Goldsman] and Henry [Alonso Myers] wanted us not to lean in too hard.' Mount was clearly game to take it further, even embracing Roddenberry's distinctive look. Costume designer Bernadette Croft shared that 'Anson was like, 'Let's do a belly, let's really lean into the suede jacket.' [Roddenberry] was this bookish intellectual, but then he kind of turned, like a cut snake if he was in a bad mood or if someone crossed him.' Frakes added that they found the perfect balance in the end, saying: 'We ended up in a wonderful place where Anson created a character who, for better or for worse, anybody who knew him could see Gene. The voice specifically is brilliant, the physicality is so not Pike. Everybody had a ball playing in a different part of their toolbox.' While episode itself may have split opinions, it was a clear love letter to Roddenberry's legacy, and Mount's take on Bellows was a thoughtfully layered performance that fans of classic Trek will absolutely appreciate. New episodes of Strange New Worlds stream Thursdays on Paramount+.

Trainers can get a free Pokémon this weekend as part of the world championships

This weekend, the best Pokémon trainers from around the country will gather in Anaheim, California for the 2025 Pokémon World Championships. To celebrate — and as a bonus for anyone attending — fans can receive a special distribution for a Toedscool. You can redeem a code in-game by August 29, 2025 to get this shiny 'mon, provided you are a guest at the event. The code is given out at badge pickup. But good news: even if you aren't personally attending, you can still take part in the festivities and walk away from the event (or your computer screen) with a special Farigiraf. In keeping with the in-game lore that Farigiraf has psychic abilities ten times stronger than its unevolved form, this special version comes equipped with Psychic Noise, Foul Play, Helping Hand, and Trick Room. Recommended Videos This Farigiraf is a copy of the one used by Luca Ceribelli to reach the Master's Division of last year's Video Game World Championships, complete with the same stats. If you need a way to make your own team a bit more competitive, give this freebie a shot. You don't even need to spend a Pokéball on it. Serebii Update: The Pokémon Scarlet & VIolet Toedscool event is now live for attendees of the Pokémon World Championships. Get a unique code at badge pickuphttps:// — (@SerebiiNet) August 14, 2025 Interested? All you have to do is watch the official 2025 World's Livestream. You'll receive a password to use for a Mystery Gift in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but you'll need to use it by August 22, 2025, or it will expire. The code can also only be used once per save file, so don't think you can create an army of impossibly strong psychic giraffes. That'd just be irresponsible. There are multiple streams running all weekend long, starting today at 9 AM PST and ending Sunday at 6PM PST, with expert commentary to follow.
