Couldn't belive it when Amy gave that "mwah" and bah-buy wave and walked off the treadmill and out of the gym. If that was me, I woulda been inching up the treadmill into a jog so that she'd stop yelling! In fact, i WAS on the treadmill at the time in my own home, and felt the need to go faster! Sheez, I would have complied, and then that nite talked to the producers about getting on the other team. I think purple mom's tears were produced as well on their day away - it was like, ok, you wanna see me cry, i'll fake a tear or two, but it wasn't alot and her eyes didn't get watery. And she kept glancing at the camera, like, are you filming this? Maybe when you're yelled at by someone half your age it doesn't mean as much? You just don't take it seriously, cuz you're thinking, get real......

Marianne - I do think there's sooo much editing going on.

I'm really dissapointed with this season of TBL. Nearly all the people I picked as favs are already gone and I actually didn't even have the desire to watch last night. I caught the last 15 minutes and then realized there was no elimination!

Wow, talk about a totally difference between last night and tonight's episodes!

I have to say, I was NOT expecting the orange team to be the bottom team! I guess that's because there was little focus on Bob's teams this week, but I thought it would be one of Jillian's teams. Ed's looking great though - he's lost 50lbs since he left the ranch!!

Yeah, was a bit surprising. I have to say, I am happy though that Coleen squeeked through on the weigh in. So far, she's the one I kinda like.

I am wondering why the Orange team seems to have trouble losing weight. They both have lots of weight to lose, in the past those with large numbers to lose get the weight off quicker.

So we have noticed over the seasons that they really expose you to a lot of air time for the people who become the eventual winners. I would take a stab and say that today, brown and red are already back home - real time today.
Just an FYI - all teams are back home now. They have already started filming for the next season

I am disappointed in the girls (Jillian's team). They definitely do not seem to be putting as much in as previous seasons, but then again I also know there is a lot of editing being done so we don't know the whole picture. The fact that they are not doing there homework is pathetic. That is wasting precious time that they have during this once in a lifetime opportunity.

I can't wait to see how well Heba sticks this out. Right now I am hoping for Heba and Coleen to go far in the show. It would be nice to see all of the guys get sent home, but we will see if that happens. With Ed not losing any the other night, it was stupid to send him home as he would be dropping large numbers, but you know as soon as they go back to voting for elimination he would be a target if he ever fell below the yellow line.

Yeah, I've become friends with some of the girls from this season on myspace, and they all say "editing, editing, editing."

I was disappointed it was the orange team. They were the only remaining team that I liked a good bit.

Now I'm hoping for Colleen, Heba, or Michelle to go far.

I can not stand the brown team. Ugh! They are both annoying. The red team is ok. I'm not crazy about the two remaining moms.

How can Heba say her team choices weren't "personal" when she said at the picnic table that he was a "little shrew (?)" and it was the wrong day to piss her off?

I agree. She acted terribly. And someone needs to remind her that this is a COMPETITION and that him sneaking food does not make him a shrew......it makes him competitive.
