Default BL Special Edition

BL special edition starts tonight! 7central 2hour long episode. I don't think it will be as good as the actual show but it should be inspirational.

Yes! I'm looking forward to it as well. I believe it's between two families, right? At any rate, it's hard to snack while watching others work their butts off!

I watched the first half, but had to wake up super early this morning so I missed the "after the ranch" part of the show. Anyone watch it all and willing to spoil us with all of the details?

The Muha family won - both families looked amazing! The people who put the show together were kinda sneaky - every time they showed the Muha family women at home they were slacking on exercising...but in the end it was quite apparent that no one was slacking!
The Samuels Family weren't as big to start with - but there was lots of inspiration there. Don has his whole office walking!
It will be interesting to se if the show follows up with the families later to see how maintenance goes...IMO - that's just as hard as losing in the first place....maybe harder.
There is a semi cheesy recap here. Just keep clicking next....

I agree with Chick...I thought the ladies weren't doing anything, but my goodness - could the Muha Mother look any more amazing?! Everyone looked great....except for Caroline....I'm just not impressed with her.

Thanks!
When I turned it one last night, my husband saw Caroline and said, "so, when does she start the program?" She does end up looking pretty out of shape at the final weigh-ins.

I really enjoyed the show. I was an overweight teen, so it made me so happy to see those girls lose weight and gain confidence. I was really rooting for them (rather than picking a favorite family).

On a more superficial note, I think TBL needs to find a new wardrobe person for Caroline. She is a pretty and funny woman. Why do they put her in a black dress made for an old witch? She should wear something cute no matter what her size is.

All in all, I'm looking forward to the next epsiode.
