I think their rationale is that really fat people (over 1X or 2X) are the minority, and they aren't marketing to the minority. It's a financial decision not a philisophical one.

I can't believe Bob was acting like that about therapy. Who cares if it was Jillian's mom.

Dang, these folks have ISSUES.

This would be the opportunity to send Mark home....not smart for Trent to me to offer himself up. Maybe if Roger and Dan vote for Mark. Come on...

I am really trying to like Bob this season but GRRRR come on! Walking out on your team because they fell short by 1 pound? I know he was they lost again but come on...he needs to stand by his team no matter what. It makes it feel worse for his team, he needs to think a bit more about them, and a bit less about his wanting to win.

Brit's 1 lb....wow. Something has to be up with her, right? And Maggie did NOT deserve immunity, but whatever

KELLY STOP CRYING ALREADY, sheesh! They would be stupid to send her or the ex home because they pull good numbers...she has to realize they have a brain and stop the tears over it.

Okay didn't happen. I hope Trent looks good. He does and his son is precious.


Going home will be interesting

Trent's baby is so cute.

So who do you think will really screw up by being at home next week?

I love myself some Bob but I didn't like his gameplay speech or his walking off today. SMH this season with Bob.

Trent's son is almost a dead ringer for my friend's 7 month year old son.

Bob telling them to go ahead with whatever game play they needed to do was a complete turn around from his getting mad at the water logging earlier in the show. It's like now that it's his team that he picked, he has no problem winning at all costs. He just wants to win and it doesn't matter HOW they win. Very sad. I would love to see him win, but winning just isn't as impresive when you have to stack the deck and cheat to get there. Disappointing that he doesn't see that.

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in Bobalicous this week.

Has there ever been another contestant who offered themselves up as a sacrifice? I can't rememer anyone else doing that.

Yeah, it's happened a few times. Usually someone who's injured or just miserably homesick. I kept wondering too why kelly was so focused on getting the boot. I was racking my brain and coming up with nothing. I mean, she even still had her partner to pull for her, unlike some of them.

How anticlimatic that Bob just walked off bc, well, bc he was a bad sport. That team there did look pretty sad alone. Like all of you, I was waiting for the Brit snide comment about 'how does it feel now' but that didn't happen. BOy you could see that VEIN bulging out the side of his forehead, couldn't you? He was NOT a happy camper.
