The first week she was in the hospital, the second week she wasnt allowed to exercise. Hopefully next week she gets the "week 2" curse! I really hope that coach mo isnt taken out in her wake!

Shay needs to stop being the victim or she is never going to move on from it. I do believe she needed to stay because she hasnt learned that yet. Cant wait for Bob or Jillian to really break through to her that she is not just the daughter of a dead heroin addict. I'm excited for her to break free from her circumstances only then will she have success!
I don't believe in Karma but I do think Tracey is unbalanced which means she has mental health issues, and where I volunteer we never call anyone crazy or nut jobs, because they can't help the chemical imbalances in their brains. So I think the Producers realize she is manic perhaps bi-polar. I was re-watching footage of her and her talking fast and impulsiveness makes me think she is bi-polar. I agree Shay does need to stop being a victim and I do hope she can free herself because someone can show you the door but only you can walk through it.

It really hit home for me on that topic. I also got teary eyed when everyone was helping that lady cross the finish line at the beginning (sorry I'm terrible with names.) I am also excited to be losing along with the contestants. The show is very inspiring.

There was so much swearing! Bob and Jillian working together is a great idea. They were awesome! They kind of reminded me of a drill instructor with all the swearing and yelling, lol.

But yes, I agree, amazing episode! Can't wait til next week.
exactly!! that was the most touching scene! well described
and yah i loved how they are both such drill sergents.

and i heard jillian describe on her radio show how she had to be like that with shay , so that she would feel like shes just like everyone else, and not just the biggest girl ever.

How much do you really know about someone you have only known a week'ish. Nothing. The elimination seems so contrived. Almost like they pick reasons out of a hat and that is what they have to say.

I would really love if they did one season where there was no immunity. Lowest percentage lost goes home. End.Of.Story. Or maybe keep everyone on the ranch the whole time and the biggest loser wins.
exactly!! i always have the exact same thought! either the lowest percentage goes home, or they ALL stay until the very end. it always makes me sad to see someone go home.

I just got to watch ep.3. I feel bad for Mo too, he didn't even pick Tracy he just got stuck with her in the end.

I'm not sure if Tracy is bananas or just really wants to win. She might be a bit narcissistic where she just doesn't care about others or who she hurts. To be fair, the show does give them those games and the options are there to try and get ahead. Antoine ate a couple of cupcakes, so if she didn't win, he would of been the one picking people off.

I too just got to watch episode 3.

I agree with all of you guys about Tracy being un balanced. I too also think she may be bi polar because it really does seem like she has two personalities. She didn't even know how many cupcakes she ate???? And she honestly sees nothing wrong with what she is doing. But like Bob said, it's too early to be game playing and she just doesn't get that. I love how at the weigh in, when she lost 11 pounds, jillian swears and bob re think clapping and just shakes his head. It's pretty bad when even the trainers don't like you....

It's crazy how BOTH the teams that came to her and asked her for help got the opposite of what they wanted.

I love how Jillian practically shunned her!

And the red team was sooo honorable with their self sacrifice. It's a shame that we won't get to keep seeing them.

I'm going to try to stay up and watch tonight's episode, but I might fall asleep. It's on too late for me, lol. I get up at 350 am to exercise before work.

Julio looks good. Down 108 pounds so far!

I'm not liking the looks of next weeks show. They made that look like Tracy is gonna get that ticket and that scares me.

That pic was last year. I heard about all that drama with Jillian and them leaving to get food, and maybe it is true, but man were they both SEXY at the end!
