Marty looked great. Built up some serious muscles. Poppi looked way too small/skinny. But appropriate for her height. Jennifer and Amy were beaming! Adrian actually gained a few pounds since she left the ranch. Ken looked good - love his attitude. Jaron looked anorexic. Brian also looked like he lost upper body muscles.

Marty is so cute now. (I'm halfway through the show).

Amen, Nickovtyme. The consolation is that Kai did not win. Thank you!!! If she's this intolerable now can you imagine what she'd be like if she won. It's sad when you can't root for your own state representative. Trust me most people here are not like her.

Oh if she would have won...and I am so glad I was wrong about the Prevention pics and stuff...but if she would have won, the posturing would have been insufferable and Caroline would have never gotten her under control. I mean, she already appeared to be drunk...what is it with these BL finale's? They seemed loopy last season at the Finale...and Kai appeared to have been hitting the scotch tonight. We did see her tossing them back like a pro.

Rumor has it that Marty is getting divorced because of Amy. There's supposed to be an article about it in the National Enquirer. Least that's what I've been reading on other boards.

Speaking of Marty...he was rather arrogant tonight....must be a side effect of weightloss.

Glad Kai didn't win. No matter how much weight she lost, she's still ugly...and she always will be until she works out some of her insecurities. She wanted to be in the spotlight tonight and made an ass of herself in the process.

I agree! I am dying to know what happened in her life to make her so freaking bitter and miserable.

and Kai appeared to have been hitting the scotch tonight. We did see her tossing them back like a pro.

LOL! You got that right, Nick.

God almighty, I can't remember the last time I disliked a reality show contestent as much as I dislike Kai.

Man, Eric looked stunning! I have to admit, I was glad he won simply because he was from the blue team. Bob took a lot of crap this season and for one of his team members to win was sweet.

Maybe it's just me, but most of the people who were at the ranch either gained since they left or lost very little. It was disappointing to witness.

Personally, I thought Jennifer looked the best.

If the producers were smart, they'd get rid of the freaking casting director who put this cast together. This season was just horrible.

I thought they were all pretty full of themselves as they came out, sheesh! Kai especially but dang, she did look good! Wylie looked great too but I was really pleased that Eric (and BOB) won the big prize.

Adrian was also a huge camera mugger.

Hurray for Brian and California!! He was the one I really hated being sent home early so good for him!

Do you guys have different sizes in the USA?? at 117 Poppi said she was size two. HERE I fit a Size 7 and my hipbones were sticking out cause I was so thin.

She "looked" like she could easily lose another 10 lbs. Amazing transformation though. I cant imagine being that short yet so HEAVY! How did she move before? I missed those first episodes so never got to see her 'before' other than those pics they showed us tonight.

*********

LOL I was wondering how Heather was going to save face....she really was a pain during the show and didnt lose much weight. Her husband is also quite large and there is no way she could have done it at home. I laughed when I saw she was pregnant. WHO THE HECK would get preg. when they think they have a chance at a big prize?? I think Heather was a realist and just went on with life.

Using the pregnancy as a reason to still be fat might fool Some people, but I've known plenty of women who naturally lose weight when preg. You just dont stuff your face with junk food. yeah, I'm mean.

Okay, anyone besides me think a couple of the guys looked SICK SICK sick! Emaciated. Survivor scrawny with Muscle deterioration from starving themselves to win money!!

Jaron talks about wanting to stay at a healthy 180 lbs and weighs in TWENTY pounds underweight!

You know, I'd like to see urine and blood testing done on the final contestants (or all) and anyone who is showing signs of starvation and dehydration is eliminated from the comp.

Brian looked unrecognizable. But what I noticed was the way his eyes were tight...a surefire sign of starvation...Heidi on survivor had that same look around the eyes.

Both Jaron and Brian had almost no arm leg muscles. They were scrawny, like Matt last year..and look what a rebound Matt had!!

ERIC looked SICK as well. I dont know, his face just didnt look well. Surely he knew he had it in the bag.

Out of everyone, Wyllie seemed to have the healthiest attitude and the best size/weight for his build.

kai was "okay" but a long way from thin...as usual for the girls.

anyways, Guess I've done enough of my usual ranting LOL


I'm still digesting the show actually.

will remember more later LOL

oh yeah, I am seeing a pattern. The Heavy guys with the skinny wives lose tons of weight.

The single women and Women with fat husbands stay large (but do lose some weight)

I was most pleased that the BLUE team won both from the ones sent home and the finalist groups. In the prior show Kim was pleased that she had three in the finals. My dh and I both got the feeling she felt that made her the better trainer since her people were there longer.

Bob was definitely the winner tonight and he was really doing the happy dance for his guys.

GO BOB!!!!!

How about a show that focuses on improving people's overall fitness?

Sunshyne, remember Poppi isn't even 5 feet tall so a size 2 on her would be like a size 7 on somebody 5'4" or something like that.

I enjoyed the entire show and found myself liking all of them.

A friend of my husband lost almost 200 pounds about ten years ago. For months we all commented on how he looked ill, skin just hanging, cheeks sunken, etc. He is still the same weight a decade later but looks fantastic. Took a lot of months until his skin firmed up and the muscles underneath were more easily visible plus our (his friends) having to adjust to just seeing him so physically different. Not saying that those guys have all lost weight in a healthy way, obviously I don't know them, but time will tell better then our first impressions.

Eric just blew me away, he and Brian were almost unrecognizable.

Can someone clarify the timespan for me? I thought they spent 3 months at the ranch and another 3 months at home. That would mean Heather got pregnant at the ranch. Or is it 6 months at home and she got pregnant within days? Either way the footage seems to indicate she did some major workouts while pregnant.

Rissa.. I know what you mean about adjusting to the way people look with drastic weight loss. I have a friend who has lost over 100 lbs (weightwatchers over an 18 month period) and people say "she's too thin" but in reality. She is at the top of the healthy weight for her ags/weight. It's the drastic difference.

I do think they've changed the sizes though as I have a friend who has lost a lot of weight and says she's down to a size 4; however, she looks more like I did when I wore a 10. I remember when she told me that I was thinking huh? I'm 5'8" and at 135# I wore a 10 and possibly an 8 on occasion. It also seems the more expensive the garment is the smaller the size tag says.

Isn't it 3 months at the Ranch, 2 months at home?
Therefore, Heather would have gotten pregnant right before she went to the Ranch.

That would explain why she was gaining weight rather than losing it at the Ranch after awhile...
Though, that'd be horrible for the baby to have been working out that strenuously early on...

I agree with Chili, as far as sizes not being true across manufacturers.

My friend's daughter is 2" shorter than me, and about 10 pounds heavier...yet she claims she is wearing a size 11/12 and I wear a 16 (when I wear women's pants). Sorry, she can buy the tag with the 11/12, but she's a fatbutt compared to me. I don't want to hear that I have "big bones" or anything either, she's just plain fatter (and richer) than me. Nyah nyah

I'm a tall woman too & I've never been ashamed to admit that I now wear a sz 16. I'm curvy & NOT AT ALL FAT! I've always been one to believe that the taller you are, the bigger sz of clothing you should wear - even being a sz 16, I have to shop @ stores that sell longer length pants. My around sz compaired to my long sz makes me look OK. I could prob. never be smaller than a 14 or 12 without looking sick. I'm 5'8" & weigh anywhere between 160-175. I don't want to be one of those skinny minnys & my man is totally happy with this "real" woman.

Hmmmmmm yeah, Maybe the designer dresses are smaller sizes....but I find for jeans, its the brand. Even at close to 200lbs I can wear anywear from a 14-18 depending on the cut. I even have one pair 13/14 size jeans.


my true problem is I'm short. 5-2. this makes buying clothes close to impossible. Pants are okay but I cut around 6 inches off of the legs. Tops are ridiculous to buy. I am small in the shoulders BIG in the bust. When I sew I can make a size ten shoulder/ neck/arm length and expand the sides to the appropriate width LOL

i dont know about the show though. I really wish that Starving yourself would be ruled out. A few simple blood/pee tests could tell the tale.

Esr Hgb Bun Creat Tprot and Ur Ketones/ Urine Protein/ Ur Specific gravity.

I'd love to see a better, more healthy approach to the show and losing weight.

I was confused about the whole timing of the pregnancy thing too. 5 months pg they said. According to the show they following this plan under physician supervision of some sort. YOu would think somewhere along the line this would of been picked up on examination. Missed periods can happen with extreme eating/excercise circumstances but you would think a pg test would be routine for women about to undergo such extreme things.

Since muscle weighs more than fat, they should give the money to the one with the most loss in fat percentage. Someone could potentially gain 10-20 pounds of muscle and lose.

According to this article, Heather got pregnant the first two weeks after she went home:

I'm guessing she got pregnant the night she got back home...after she got off the phone with Kai--who threatened to kick her ass if Heather lost more weight than she did.

Out of fear, Heather thought of a Plan B--get pregnant.

The way I look at it is:

She got back...realized she couldn't do it...gave up...got pregnant to make sure there was no way for her to compete or any need for her to keep trying...then bilked the BL out of a new baby room.

Not to shabby and it makes sense.

LOL!@ Scorpiomoon...I can see it happening.

That doesn't make sense, does it? They weren't home for 5 months before the finale, were they?
