I voted for Mark too. I hate to say this but I have many of his a-hole traits and like him I'm learning so much about myself through this whole weight loss thing. It's not easy once the comfort of food is taken away and you are left to finally deal with emotions that have been sitting around for years....ignored. Believe me, it's easy to be the cocky a-hole....it's a lot harder to feel safe enough to show your emotions.

That being said....I would LOVE to see Ali win this whole thing. She looks amazing and I get teary every time she talks about losing the weight and what it means to her.

Oh my goodness. Am I the lone ranger here or what? I voted for Roger. He's given 100% effort to doing this and...I just love me a good ole' country boy. Plus, if the women want it badly enough, they'll whip Roger on the percentage. And, I'd like to see a woman win by kicking a strong man out of the competition. However, I dont think that Ali has the poundage left on her body to pull this off. Kelly probably has the biggest chance.

Mark - just just to possibly make it easier on the girls. Who knows. I like Rog better. They've all given +100%.

ditto....

I didnt like Mark much, but I want a girl to win and I dont think they can beat Roger. If they can play strategy, I can play strategy too.

Rhonda I also voted for ROGER!!! Go Roger Go!!!!

1. I can't stand Mark. He manipulates his brother and is just generally a huge jerk to everyone. Fat or skinny, a jerk is a jerk.

2. Roger feels much more geniune than Mark (though the whole "I love you America" had me gagging... then again Mark showing his kids' pictures was pretty lame too).

3. I agree with others about Ali - if that girl loses more than ten more pounds she is going to look emaciated. She looked awesome a week, even two weeks ago IMO. I don't know how tall she is but it just seems she's where she should be and needs to stop while she's ahead!

I would like to see Kelly win, only because I HATED her whining at the beginning but she's really changed and I like her now. If only she'd dump the blue eyeshadow for good (I had high hopes after the makeover episode!).

I've always wanted Roger to win but with the possibility of a woman winning I voted for Mark instead. I figure they have a better chance of beating him. Yep, playing the game as if I was there.

I want Kelly to win basically because I think she has never believed in herself and now she does. I admire Ali but Kelly speaks to me.

I voted Roger off. I did that because I want Kelly to with the title of the biggest loser and i think with roger in the game she has less chance of doing that since roger is always pulling big numbers and mark isnt! Oh and I hope I can just jump in here. I dont know if it's a private group.
