I should really pay more attention to "SPOILER" in big letters in the title
But it does make me more excited to see it!

I am confused, why wasn't the orange team part of the temptation?

Tara wins the challenge! I am happy for her. Both those girls kicked *** on that challenge though.

What was going on in the training room when Bob called in from Detroit? Did they mention it? Looks like they had their legs in wraps and on extended chairs or tables? I'm guessing they were having their shin splints iced down but wasn't sure.

Ahhh, team play and game play rears its ugly head for the first time tonite in the elimination. Jillian's team had to go and turn the tables on what they said. Take the stronger member from Bob's team. Here we go!

Sportmom- that's the first time I ever saw them being iced.

Ohhh, the game play started tonight.

I have very mixed feelings about Joelle. I do feel bad for her because she obviously has emotional problems. I was thinking Jillian would maybe be better working with her because she does focus on the emotional struggles as well as the physical ones. Joelle does not seem to be a mean person, just emotionally frozen, and yes - lazy.

So far, I love this season more than the last one.

WOW. The game was PLAYED!!!! For some reason, i thought they would all vote for Joelle. Man i wanted to see her gone but I understand why Jillians team did what they did. I hope there isnt to much discord in the house

DH was channel flipping between TBL and Obama coverage. I HATE that. I saw bits and pieces and thankfully the VCR was taping so I can catch up tomorrow. I can't believe they kept Joelle. I do agree with Vix that I think she might do better long term with Jillian. Right now she just seems afraid of Carla.

I know lots of runners in training for endurance ice down their legs in an ice cold bath after a long run... It cuts down the inflamation and helps the legs to recover faster and not be as sore... I was wondering if that's what they were doing. Wish they would have said!

I don't know about the game playing. Maybe I'm just being naive. - It just seemed to me like if Joelle went home then she would definitely not get any farther on her own and Carla would then hate her and so would not be working with her. -Damien (sp?) OTOH had his fiance at home and they would be able to support each other. He was already highly motivated.

Ugh, I totally missed the show today! From the looks of it Joelle pissed everyone off even more. So, she is on Jillian's team now?! HAH.

I was thinking the same thing. Dan (orange team) didn't participate in the eating temptation challenge. He wasn't even in the room and there wasn't an explanation as to why?????????

Loved Carla giving Joelle what for. Joelle has issues and I don't think they are all physical.

I am getting a little fed up with people wanting to go home. We are two to three weeks into this and you need to see your family (yellow team). Did you not know from watching all the years past that the point is to work at the ranch for 3 months. The whining about going home is getting old.

Joelle excited about going home. Give me a break. You should have let Carla stay. Don't audition for the show if you want to stay home. Too many other people need this opportunity.

Jillian's team - what were you thinking? Mutual cooperation to game play so early in the game. Next week better open up with a throwdown between these two groups. For once I think that Bob's team is doing this for the right reasons.

I understand why Jillian's team voted the way they did, but I desparately hope this isn't the start of Vicky/Heba dumb drama. I do NOT want to see that again on TBL.

Great job on the challenge, Tara! That girl is quite the competitor.

I'm also curious as to why Daniel wasn't at the temptation. This week showed David at home continuing his poor eating habits.
