Hey leanmoomercows,
I had read that the weigh-ins are actually spaced out, even though the episodes are run weekly. And, that they are at the ranch longer than what it seems on the basis of weekly episodes. So the contestants do lose weight, but not the huge amounts per week that it seems.
If you listen to the show, they always say "At your last weigh-in, you weighed XXX..." not "Last week you weighed XXX..."
I can't confirm that this is true, though--I can't find the website anymore. But it's always good to take "reality TV" with a grain of salt.
Jay
