Last season, when Matt had immunity for one week, he purposefully drank extra water just before the weigh-in so he would be "artifically" heavier and make it easy to lose the most weight the following week (wrestlers know those kinds of tricks). He didn't GAIN 3# fat, no way. He just drank extra water.

good point kona. There are things these people can do when they know a WeighIn is coming up. Dont drink water, make sure you are empty(bladder bowels, dont eat food for six hours before the weighin etc. I sure hope that Erik didnt tell the others what he was doing. #1 It makes it look like he is 'setting it up' so he will win which leads to #2 making everyone aware that he is the biggest threat. I think matt won last year by using the blubber technique. i dont see anyone this season using that plan. I dont really have a favourite this year, just as long as a bully doesnt win. At this time i think Marty has it in the bag. he is quiet and put his weight on FAST. Like the two top guys last year Marty has the ability to loose over 100 lbs as he was well over 300 lbs when starting. I love seeing the people after they are sent off of the show however, my heart aches a bit for the women who never can get to prime weight. We havent had ONE woman these last seasons who can do it. If I recall One woman came within ten lbs though.

I'm going to have to rewatch as I missed stuff you guys are talking about. I do like Kim though and Bob too. Jillian was okay but I wouldn't want her for my personal trainer. You got to remember Bob has been doing this for a few years now and Kim is new. Maybe she'll get it figured out before next season. Is it just me or does Kai not look like she's lost 50+ pounds? I know she has to have but she doesn't look that different to me. And, YIPPPEE that she had to use the pass. Now they are all on equal footing. There isn't anyone here I'm rooting for this year. I dislike all of them but some more than others.

Chili if you rewatch it, can you tell me what they said after they showed Pam at home playing outside with her kids??? I want to know if I'm imagining the "snarky" comment about "Moms" and weight...

oh, and I forgot to comment - Kai statement about not using the pass and going home - that smelled like a producer plant "what if" or can you say something about .... kwim? she and Heather come across as such negative energy, just nothing to like about them. I cant think of how the producers are going to keep the new team on long enough to survive one round... ITA a woman cannot win even with percentages! I would like to see it divided between women and men... one male, one female winner... but hey, that's just me!! ;)

but hey, that's just me!! ;) Guess I'm invisible again this year. I already posted that a few days ago. Frankly, I say it each season...men against women viewed equally guarantees a woman will never legitimately win. Impossible due to normal female body fat ratio. ((unless the women quit being catty and start voting out men from day ONE next season))

Sunshyne, your not invisible. I read your first post on the above but I don't see how that is true. Would you mind giving an example? female weighing 250, male wighing 350 female loses 65 lbs, male loses 90 lbs the female has bigger % of weight loss I'm sorry but I just don't see how what you say is true, that a woman can't win.

Reader, I did hear the comment, but I thought Pam said it about Mom's and losing weight...but I took it as a positive. That working mom's and losing weight can be done and is a good thing.

female weighing 250, male wighing 350 female loses 65 lbs, male loses 90 lbs the female has bigger % of weight loss Which season was that? also, remember that it is a fat loss calculation that wins the show, not just Lbs lost.

final three last season - Seth 291 lbs down to 168lbs Matt 339 lbs down to 182 lbs a LOSS of 157lbs which is 46.31% Suzy was 227lbs...went down to 132 a LOSS of 95lbs ONLY 41% The guys are always bigger and will win. It is not possible for a woman to win unless two women are in the finals. Here is a great example....season ONE BigLoser 1 - Kelly gary and Ryan final three. Kelly 242 lost 72 lbs...final weight 163 Gary 227 lost 71 lbs...final weight 156 Ryan 330 lost 122 lbs- winner Kelly Body fat lost 17% Gary Body fat lost 23% Women have a naturally higher level of Body fat...it is difficult to get down and frankly, it is rather unsafe to get too low.

Reader234, a lot of people took offense at that comment. When it showed her before and after pics underneath was printed "She is living proof that a working mother can lead a healthy life." Sunshyne4u, I think I'm invisible a lot too. No one ever wants to answer my questions. But sometimes I think it's because my opinions are normally different than most here. I don't know. It just seems weird sometimes. I do agree with you though. Unless they find an enormous woman to compete or have an all woman show then there is no way a woman is ever going to win this. Especially not this time. There were some damn huge guys at the start of this and there's no way a woman could have beaten them. Now, is it just me or does Kai not look like she's lost 54 pounds. Except for her face she looks almost the same to me. And, could someone tell those producers to please not make us watch her chewing gum anymore. That was disgusting.

When Reader said, "ITA a woman cannot win even with percentages! I would like to see it divided between women and men... one male, one female winner..., I thought that by saying ITA, she obviously read your post, Sun! Hey, nobody should sweat it or take it personally when they don't get a reply to a post. Lots of times, I just read and move on. If I had to post one way or another to EVERY post I read, I would never get anything done. It's not personal! Kai's face does look better to me, but her body seems to be looking pretty much like it did when she arrived on the ranch. I'm betting that all of a sudden, she'll drop a chunk and it will show. I can lose 20# without getting a comment, but it's the next 5# that bring people out of the woodwork with comments. Hey, that reminds me...I'm a blimp, so it's time to start behaving again!

At least the women were wearing shirts for the weighin this week (instead of the jog bras).

Sunshyne - I'm sorry, it is my fault - I just have an excuse, but the bottom line is I should've given credit where credit was due - instead of the blanket "I totally agree" - hope you can understand! Thanks Huk for coming in and posting at my defense... I can also agree with the feeling of invisibility, or "thread killer" meaning, I feel it too on some areas... but I take what I need from the board and move on (like I really need to vent sometimes, I need to find a spoiler, or I need to find out what I missed) I think it kinda evens out! I think I meant something entirely different by "hey that's just me" and I certainly didnt clarify it correctly - I sheepishly will have to admit that I didnt think anyone would even notice, let alone read and comment on my post - I humbly apologize!!! (and if you've been around long enough, you can just go ahead and lol as I'm often surprised when I re read a post that it loses something in translation!! roflol - I mean, when I type it I know exactly what I mean - and I always think I make perfect sense, until its pointed out to me how blatantly confusing it is!!! So I think I just am so much better off going back to lurkdom.)

Sunshyne...you said you posted that a few days ago...maybe they just didn't read that far back...but your definetly not being ignored...lol..nothing personall can be taken when someone posts the same thing you said earlier. Your right...and all the rest who said so...women will have a much more difficult time winning this game...not only the fat percentages but men naturally have a larger muscle mass, which means a higher metabolism naturally...which means they will burn more calories in any activity. Your right...women need to get smart and vote the men all off first...lol

Sunnyshyne, I didn't say that a woman has won the biggest loser, I was just using that as an example. It is my understanding that the person who loses the most lbs percentage wise wins the game and if my example were actual then a woman would win. Oh yeah, nobody is invisible, I thank you all for posting as I enjoy reading your posts. If I don't know the answer to a question, then I don't answer.

I think I'm invisible a lot too. Chili!!! How can you say that! I answer your posts! Humph! I also think that Kai does not look like she has lost weight in her body. Her face looks really skinny but I was shocked to see the shape of her body on this last episode. Her hips are still quite large (at least for this far along in show). As much as I don't like Heather, she is lookin' pretty good. I was amazed at how her body looked in the weigh in. LOL I remember getting mad in the TAR threads when one of my posts was ignored and then several days later someone else said the EXACT same thing and got a bunch of replies!! LOL I totally threw a pathetic little tantrum! I was like "I said the same thing....blahblahblah" I know I'm such a dork, but I can't help but get mad when some people are giving sombody else credit for an idea that I came up with first. It's sad! But at the end of the day, we're all human!

Oh, I know Trueheart. You're my bestest responder and I do appreciate you. It's just no one had responded to my question and I wanted to know now. LOL I am a total fan of immediate gratification and I needed validation! Even if Heather loses all her weight she will not be a pretty person unless she has a shriekectomy. It was the guy who was sent home who didn't even look like the same guy. I think they brought in a skinny stand-in for him. He was amazing.
