As to Conda's cheating in the 2nd competition--my husband and I thought she also cheated in the first one. Not the girl from the black team. Conda! If you watch it closely, Conda did not raise and extend that piece of equipment nearly as much as the other girl. And then Conda accused the other girl of cheating! Absurd!

Bob said noone ever quit... didn't Rulon from a few seasons ago quit? Only thing is if they want to go home they should just throw the weigh in since even if they go home on their own someone else that wants to be there then gets eliminated. They probably know they will be away from home, but maybe they don't know the drama and what goes on behind the camera and maybe it just got to Joe,..seemed like alot of drama was going on with his brother.

I'm sure some of the "drama" is just good editing. That said, Conda is super irritating. That can't all be editing.
I do think the Bob vs. Dolvett thing is mostly fabricated. It seems so forced. Of course, it doesn't really matter. Dolvett wins in the "fox" category!

I thought the same thing She is the biggest girl on the team (maybe Ranch) and her numbers are dismal every week. I wait an hour to watch each week so I can fast forward thru commercials. Well last night i was fast forwarding everytime she talked! ugh!

|
I was wondering that too. Why would they keep her? She is a drag on the team as far as weight loss numbers and ability.

I noticed that too. Didn't Dolvett say high knees too. She barely picked her legs up.
afm~I love the show but I really don't care for this season. I like most of the contestants they just seem whiny though. Really like the young girl on the black team,. Really don't like the older lady on the black team that is always crying and whining. Just shush up and do the best you can.
Agreed about the guy that left early. Just wait out the week and throw the weigh in so everyone could have stayed another week since it wasn't Conda that went hom! lol!!

I think red team is making very BAD desitions. Lauren? really? they are not thinking as a team cause she was not the best desition to send home at all.
I hate Conda since week 1, playing the victim in the WI. In week 2 all the drama against Joe's brother was a personal thing from the WI in week 1, and kind of stupid :S. In this week i didn't undertood the drama since the girl from the black team picked her, just shut up and work out instead.
Also i really liked when Santa beated the black girl that was a powerlifter (i'm not good with names yet hehe), she was so cocky and his reaction was from a gentleman. He is also one of my favorites.
And that girl from the red team that was a fighter, GOSH i hated her when Chism won. C'mon you may not love to lose (no one does) but please, behave as an adult.
And i'm hating Bob, he is acting childish, you can compete but is not necesarily to act like that. Dolvett in the other hand look like is nothing personal but a game, Bob don't seem to look it in the same way.

some of the comments made during the weigh ins were crazy.
and was I the only one that noticed during the pair ups that a majority of the red team matched had a higher % of body fat lost than their pair on the black team

Blah, blah, blah.
I know it's early in the season but for some reason I'm not feeling this season as much as last season. I think the biggest thing for me is that I'm not finding anyone very inspirational that I can relate to. Hopefully, eventually...
Conda, I'm hoping she turns out to be like Hannah of seasons past (annoying at first but seemed to grow A LOT on the show and eventually turned out to be a relateable person).
Ugh, and don't get me started on the guy who kick. COME ON! WHY!?!?!  I have to say that made me way more upset than Conda. He could've at least waited until the weigh-in and asked to be thrown off. I mean, seriously, he was given an amazing opportunity and just threw it away. I don't get it, do these people not understand how long the biggest loser lasts? Their families have to agree with it so why did he freak out all of a sudden (and I'm saying this as a mother!). I actually told my husband if he was in the same position as this guy (severely overweight with a plethora of health problems) and came home early, he'd be in serious trouble! I'd much rather him healthy and able to live a long life with us together than have him back immediately.

wow, I don't ever remember a cameraman or a producer talking before and tonight there was both. And obviously Conda just isn't getting on our nerves.

I think the same. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think her attitude will improve much. Maybe the threat of losing prize money will keep her in check a bit, but I doubt it could be long term.
(Take a peek at Dolvett's page on FB at what folks are saying.)

 they are calling Conda, AnaConda  ... I love FB ...
Yes, Conda is very immature and has a lot of growing up to do... But then again Gail is older and is a whinner too  I'm kinda glad she is gone but I liked her better than Conda... I'm also happy that she is doing so well at home though, I think she learned her lesson...
I don't understand what people expect when they go on this show, they've obviously watched it before applying for the show... Jeez, quit your whinning, quit your quitting, lose the weight and do what your trainer says *period* ... Maybe I'm incensitive  ...

If you have FB just search Dolvett, he has two, I think, pages, I «liked» the page where there is a real close up of him on his profile pic...
