I have nothing against Jillian bonding with some more than with others, I guess that is unavoidable, but she is there to train her entire team, regardless of who is or isn't her favourite. At least she should have the decency not to show her preferences so clearly in front of the camera. To me, it was bordering on insult the way she always excluded Kelly from the hugs, etc. Can't help it, but this is one thing I really dislike about Jillian.

Kelly is 38, Ali is 32, Roger is 40, Mark is 35. Would you like their favorite foods, color or the name of their pets? I really need a life.

And I seriously thought Mark was pushing 45, at least 40. He looks 20 years older than 35 right now, imo. That's some proof of his un-health right now. 35's look strong, healthy, robust, not weak and tired. Whoever said raisins was right I guess.

Dixiedieter: I absolutely LOVE your posts. You truly crack me up!!

Mark DOES look older than 40. LOTS older.

I think Ali, when she isn't dehydrated, looks better. There were times in the episode when her face seemed fuller . . . like when she got into the limo. At the weigh in, the lines along her mouth were very prominent.

Yeah Ali and Mark actually look very gaunt! And Mark looked younger before he lost the weight- but I think his body looks strong. I think with his face he might be having some loose skin issues, which is why he may have grown the facial hair half-way through the season. Remember how puffy his face was before he lost weight? I'm sure all that skin doesn't have anywhere to go except to look wrinkley Ali can look very worn and 'old' at times, too, but yeah I thought she was in her 20's.

Personally if I were working out as hard as them everyday and in the hot sun I'm sure I'd look tired, gaunt, and aged a little bit, and I'm only 26. I'd rather someone think I look like I need a sandwich than for them to think I don't need a sandwich!

Personally, I keep hoping if Ali wins she used the $ to get some botox or rejuvederm. A co-worker said, however, that the lines on one side of her mouth are scars? The tv I watch on doesn't show it clearly, maybe I'll watch next week in HD. Could be scary though if it's raisin people. Kelly looks like she's doing good for her age, skin wise. That turkey neck of Roger's really gets to me.

I don't know about scars (plural) but she does have a scar on the left side, going down to her upper lift. It is quite visible.
Kelly looks very young to me (her face) - being chubby has some benefits.

I cannot read through the whole thing, but I think the winner is almost obvious. Between the girls, Ali just does not have that far to go. Kelly has a chance to really knock it out. Ali has to hit her max at some point.

If Roger stays, he wins. He has the % to lose. If Mark gets any thinner, his kidneys will shut down.
