Ace, from what I've read over at TWOP, you are correct. If you don't want to know, just squint a little and don't read the white type. Not sure how else to spoiler tag it.

Jeff Conaway is dropped from the show, not sure if he quits, but it looks like he gets sent to rehab. He is replaced by one of the Nelson twins.

Just watched the new one. Thank goodness Jeff went for help. Let's hope it sticks this time.

Well, they did not milk Jeff for all he was worth, it just seemed like it.

Gunther - A few days and he will reach his goal. Really, I wish I was that over weight, myself. He does look better with short hair. Perhaps he can get along with Chastity and they could start a band - they have both have parent issues, but Chastity's loved her and did not have drug issues.

That was one tough challenge, I am amazed that Chastity could do it beiong out of shape. I would have had an anxiety attack just climbing that cargo net. She really has a lot of heart. You would think that they would have more reasonable challenges.

Bruce is in bad shape. I noticed he has diabetic dermopathy, hyperpigmentation in poorly vascularized skin, on his lower legs and feet.

I love this guy. It will be interesting to see him thinner but I doubt he will be able to lose enough to make a huge difference in his appearance. Some liposuction on his neck would help tremendously but he would be at risk for complications with diabetes.

Jeff Conway.....boring. I doubt it was a surprise to production that he was an addict. I suspect they knew he would not make it through.

Chas! What a darling woman!

I understand why Tempest was irritated at the obstacle course manned with screaming Marines. Military mentality has no place in civilian life. Screaming and barking orders is best kept inside that organization. It is abusive and obnoxious.

So Gunnar had a rough life. hmmmmmmm ummmmmmm. Everyone has a story. Yawn. Countess eludes to drama outside of this show, too.

Good for Kelly for being upbeat and getting on with it.

I also like the black man on Chas team. I missed his name because I watched the season, so far, with much FFing on my Tivo.

Fruit, I think you're referring to Young MC? I like him, too, but I LOVE Chas. She is adorable. What a sweet person she is! Gunnar looks like he could be related to her. The look very much alike.

Gosh, if the TV adds 15 pounds to a person, then I think Gunnar is already at his goal. Don't think he needs to lose so much as to firm and tone. Wonder what his twin brother looks like these days?

Yeah Gunner doesn't look like he has much to lose but it's apparently a big issue to him. I love Chas' drive, that course was hard. I don't think I could've done the rope walk.

I guess I can understand why Tempest was upset but she had that sour-puss face throughout the whole show. What was her problem. She acts as though she doesn't want to be there and is disgusted with the whole thing.

I missed the second episode. Can someone fill me in on what type of food they are eating?

Also, how often are they weighed?
Thanks,
Avrey

I am wondering if Countess has a thyroid problem, such as Graves disease. Her eyes really bug out of her head...

I am really rooting for chas...she seems very nice. Tempest is doing great even though her attitude is not the best.

I don't know if the challenge was all that fair tonight. I mean, Young MC had to do two legs in the race...without the benefit of any time to rest inbetween. No wonder he got so tired. He has definitely lost the most weight though so far. Maybe he's losing it TOO quickly. I know the one panelist mentioned that to him in one of the last few episodes.

I feel bad for Countess, going thru a divorce and doing this show. Got to be tough.

I missed what her home problems were, so thanks for that, Mocha. That must be so rough for her.

I am thinking that with what this show probably pays (surreal life is supposed to pay 60K for 2-3 weeks), Countess probably needs the money and she probably can't walk out on the show. This is doubly true since Jeff Conway left, now the show could not afford to lose her and would probably play hard ball if she wanted to leave.

This past show, you could see that Tempest was not happy, but I don't think they are revealing what her problem is. I could see her being upset with the marine training excercise when only 2 from each team could participate and one person really struggled there. It could be she thought it would be more of food tips and training, not the humiliation that seems to prevail onthis show.

When I watch Gunther, I wonder what his family thinks of the show - his Mother is an alcoholic who doesn't have the mother gene and never loved him? Some family members may not agree. It is not as if he lived in a bubble, he had his father for much of his younger years and grandparents. Didn't they love him either? Hey, how about his twin, does his twin hate him, too? Blaming your parents seems to easy an out when you are older.

Biz, Biz, Biz - I think you self image is very low, if you let some friends crash your diet. You don't have to show off for your friends, they are just jelus (sic)!

Bruce - I think I saw him on an award show in the last few weeks and it looks like he took it seriously. Still fat, but better I won't say anymore.

Hmm, I would think that Countess doesn't really need the money as I'd hope she's getting money from the shows she's done that are in syndication.

I remember when Gunnar's mom was involved in a big custody battle for the youngest son, Sam. Her brother Mark Harmon was raising him. I think there is a lot of validity to what Gunnar is saying about his life.

Isn't anyone watching tonight?

Temptest seems to be such a slacker. And to say she's on her period - LOL.

Gunnar is very honest, which is good... but he's not making any friends by being so critical about his fellow Fit-Clubbers. Even when he's correct in what he says, perhaps he should couch it in nicer terms.

One other thing - I love Chas' attitude! When trainers came to her door at 7am for exercise, she wasn't thrilled to have to get out of bed but she was willing to go with the flow. Remember the guy from "Eight is Enough"? (Can't remember his name) when the trainer came to his door? LOL

I think Gunnar will be the one voted to the other team in the trade next week. As you mentioned Dee, he doesn't seem to really be endearing himself to any of his team members. Maybe Countess will go to the other team with her weight loss being pretty null at this time.

I'm not sure if Tempest even knows why she's doing this show (other than for publicity of course...but it doesn't seem to be the type of publicity she'd want anyway.) I can't figure out her attitude, other than to think that's probably her regular personality in everyday life??

Darnit! I forgot to watch tonight.

I saw Chastity and Tempest on The View last week and they asked Tempest about her apparent attitude problem. She basically said that she's very opinionated and passionate and has a lot of compassion for other people, and that reality shows seem to want an angry black woman any way they can get one. She said they felt like they were one big team, which Chas agreed with, so they didn't have enough conflict and controversy to be entertaining (implying the producers had to create controversy to keep it from getting dull). Her reason for going on was to challenge Hollywood's idea of what the ideal body is. Neither one of them looked much thinner than they do on the show, but it's kind of hard to tell without a split screen with their before pictures.

I have not seen previous seasons so it escapes me why Gunnar is on there if the teams are judged on total weightloss. Have they always had huge weight disparities in the contestants?

Chas is an adorable woman! Young MC is a sweet man as well. I have always loved Bruce's keen wit. Kelly is another stand out. Great attitude.

I don't expect to see a dramatic difference in anyone unless the show spans months. How long is the duration?

I wonder if Tempest was difficult to work with as a young child on the Cosby Show. Something tells me she was. I know Bill favored Malcom. He butted heads with Lisa a few times too.
