I would hate to think the show was rigged. I hated it when two years or so ago, one member drank so much water that he gained 14 pounds in one week as a plan to get rid of someone. This show is such an inspiration for me, but I know I couldn't go on the show and do all they do. They have in the past had some one from a previous season come back and demonstrat something to the new group and I would love to have Ali come back so we can see how she has done since the show. I was surprised they let him on the show with all the medical problems that he had as they are liable for anything that happens to the contestants. I do believe he maintained a lot of fluid and that was why the gain, besides the fact that they didn't do much while at the Grand Canyon as far as exercise. At any rate, I believe in the show and what it does for me if not the contestants on the show.

OK-so I didnt start watching this show until recently...why did everyone hate phil so much?

heres my take, personally I liked phil and his wife, the old "blue" team however had some major players, the blonde whose name I suddenly can't think of, the one who''s hubby went home last week and heba and her hubby they have all been playing for the money, the blonde more than anyone, this week they are gonna be so mean to Amy for protecting herself and voting to send the blondes hubby home, which if she hadn't the "blue" team would of sent her next. Phil being a guy was a treat, thats all I ever seen him do wrong, the 2 girls heba and the wicked witch and her now gone again hubby really wanted him gone. Wicked witch bragged that she would be the biggest loser and her hubby the at home winner at the beginning of the season. I think everyone realizes that now heba and her hubby have the advantage instead of the wicked witch, I dread watching how they will treat Amy but I can promise I'll be glued to it. Sometimes they show older shows of the season, you can go to nbc and link up or try the biggest loser, I know theres a lot there just not sure how much, it might help bring you up to date. Its been the most game playing season so far, which ya I'd want the money too, but I can't stomach the blue team - Amy. Amy was a bit whiney at the beginng when she was with Jillian but shes came around ans seen whats going on, hope this didn't confuse you more

I think I got caught up THANKS! I dont like Vicky which is the blonde witch!! Im glad her hubby went home and I hope shes next...then heba!

I really like Heba, but then I tend to root for women who are the "largest" at the start. I feel more kinship with them, I guess.

I really had my fingers crossed that Vicky would go home ....dang so close!

Anyone excited about the new season??!!!! I so want either the older man that passed out or the heaviest teenage guy to win...so far those are my 2 favs!!!

I'm excited for the new season. I really don't have a favorite yet :cursing:

Talk about team against team...Joell DEF should have gone home this week....I cant believe that Jillians team stooped so low and had damien voted off...talk about coniving and backstabbing...blane pretended to care about what they all thought and then boom! That was shi**y!!!

WOOT WOOT, JOELLE FINALLY went home but poor carla...joelle though just didnt deserve or want to be there!!!

In our area it didn't air, they put on a basket game instead we were really mad. Have to wait till Tuesday to watch it according to the web site :cursing:

I didn't get to see the first hour...for some reason it didn't tape...but I did see the end! Yay--Joelle went home! I was so sick of hearing her excuses and rationalizations...
