Weigh ins do take forever! I had a feeling that Patty was the one to go but I thought she was a nice lady.

I thought it was very Curious that the red team lost so much...its just my own speculation of course..but i wonder if they weren't tipped off at an immunity and loaded up on water to stunt their weight loss and then next week show major numbers.. well..it definitely had me wondering and the look on jillian's face...she looked a little suspicious too

I had the same thought Smarty. Was it last year or the year before that the guy had immunity and sabatoged his weigh-in for that week? Seems to me that the show didn't want that repeated so kept the reward secret until the weigh-in. But it does seen suspicious that every single member of the team pulled in low numbers.

Rissa, Matt sabatoged once when he was safe and then last year Heather did the same only she wasn't exactly safe but her friends kept her safe and then she had big wt loss next week. I totally agree with you all about the Red Team being tipped off about immunity. I have also wondered if the prize would have been different if a different team had won. Red needed immunity or Kim is going to be gone soon...lol

Another interesting theory Boberg, I wouldn't put it past the producers to pull stunts like that...changing up the "prizes" according to the winner in o...very sneaky

I have also wondered if the prize would have been different if a different team had won. That was my first thought. I never considered that the red team would deliberately lose very little. Everyone has tricks up their sleeves! WAY too much time on weigh-ins and fake cliffhangers and then repeating so much after the commercial.. AMEN!!!! I have a DVR and FF through the commercials on full throttle!! LOL With 3 arrows >>> The funny thing is normally I get myself in trouble because I go too far into the show so that I have to rewind!! But like you said they REPEAT SO MUCH that by the time I press play I'm getting to the new part!!!

Luv the show, but it could easily be cut down to an hour. If I didn't have a DVR, I honestly couldn't watch it. I'd like to see more meal planning, cooking and training tips.

I'd like to see more meal planning, cooking and training tips. Great idea, Ohiomobprincess. I'd love to see more of that as well, instead of the long drawn-out weigh-ins. I think the gals on the blue team were dumb to send a gal home. Now, they will be picked off by the guys on their team. Dumb, dumb, move.

Thanks Cricket. I agree with you on the blue team's vote, I bet the last ones standing will all be men. I want Jillian to come to my house for a one week private boot camp. She is such an awesome motivator!!!

My DH and I both said they same things about all the time on workouts and weigh in- why don't we see more about their diets? Red Team seemed so upset- if they had done the water thing I would not have expected that. You never know though! I loved that Bob forbade the Blues to take it to a tie!

Jim looked great, he'll probably look pretty amazing by the finale...and if his brother makes it far and then gets to go home and have that brotherly support AND someone who knows how to lose the weight!! I'm still suspicious of the red teams high numbers this week!!! Something smells funny and it aint my shoes!! The previews for next week looked pretty scandaless, can't wait to see what thats about..

Smartypants, the red teams numbers last week were pretty puny (2, 3 pound losses). If I was Jillian, I would have kept shoving that fact down the black team's throats. Wake up people, if they had lousy numbers last week, they're going to slaughter you this week! I would also have suggested to them that by winning the massage, they lost some more training time, just before weigh-in. Every single time one of them whined, I'd have been all over them! Geesh, if you lose the weigh-in, you're toast. <100>

Exactly!! Which was my theory from last week...that the red team deliberately stunted their weight loss last week (by filling up on fluids most likely) because they were tipped off about the immunity...and so that this week their numbers would all be twice as high as they truely are!!!! ....all speculation of course LOL

Its odd at the least. Last week every single member of the Red team has uncharacteristically low numbers and this week every single member of the team has high numbers? I don't buy the coincidence. What was the wording on that challenge? *A reward that would definately help you win the weigh-in?" That is my memory of it anyway. Back to this week. I could so agree with Jillian about the drinking in Jamaica. Having a single drink is not a big deal, so just don't have it. By fighting Jillian to have a drink he kind of disproved his own point.. obviously for him it was a big deal. I bet Jillian wasn't as much concerned about the calories but that it would lower their resistance to the other temptations. I would love to see how the team members who have been sent home and gone on to lose large numbers compare to though who lose large numbers and are at the ranch to the end. A couple years down the road..... which group has kept off more of the weight? IMO it takes the same amount of effort but much more personal responsibility and commitment and I would GUESS that the home *losers* keep it off longer and more successfully. Way to go JIM!!!!

It was inevitable that the black team would have to lose a member sooner or later. The editing didn't make Jillian look very nice in Jamaica. They showed the other teams in the water and doing yoga and then her team running on the beach again, lol. Geez, what did she do to make the producers mad at her? I keep thinking there may be a little rivalry between her and the blonde trainer. At least the black team played it smart and broke up the twin brothers. They really didn't hae any other choice and I'm glad Julie talked to Jez about it after Hollie talked to her. I love Kae. Her personality is just too cute!

Phil gets booted. Hollie left to be at her mother's bedside who died of Leukemia. Jez got under 300#. Kae rocked again. Neil lost double digits again.

so...of course...I was let down by the big hype of the blonde trainer getting the crazies...so she cursed and totally through her last female team member under the bus, while I don't agree with what she did, it really didn't shock me that she did it she has always rubbed me the wrong way, and I can't quite put my finger on why either Sad to hear about Hollie's mom, but glad she got to go home...

wow, that Kim trainer is a real piece of work. I disliked in the beginning of the season, how she catered to the guys and ridiculed the women on her team. My mouth dropped open when she swore not once but TWICE at her guy on the treadmill. I applaud his choice to walk away. When Kim invaded their meeting to choose whom should go.....as well as Dominated the choice by threatening anger if they dared to get rid of phil, that clinched it. I hope that this is her last year. I always thought Jillian was a tough cookie and blunt with her team in past seasons, but not once did I see ridiculing and swearing. I LOVE Love love that the red team took the passive aggressive approach and made the other team break the tie. Phil had to go. He was a strongman Ironman competitor who Towered over everyone. I also didnt like his smirk when Kim was pretty well telling the team that phil and ? can NOT be voted out. I felt so bad for Amy. talk about abandoned by her trainer. I'd love to see a revolution next week they refuse to let her train them LOL AS for phil, his bulk looked like fat over muscle....like the wrestler winner Matt. When you are that tall/ big you can bulk up so you have more to loose. Phil was playing matt's game, complete with the blubbering to try and evolk guilt. In my opinion

I'm glad Phil is gone. But I must say there are few people I just DO NOT like this year. Amy, Neil are two that stick out in my mind the most. I'm over Kim..not a fan at all. I'm on Team Jillian

Not a fan of the red team members, but I don't have any big issue with Kim. She seems to always have to "prove" herself as a trainer with these <100>. By letting the blue team choose Phil, they have just ended their season. Maybe she shouldn't have interfered with their elimination strategy talks, but she knows they can't win without Phil's consistency. No way in heck they will win weigh-offs with who is left. I saw her outburst (using the f word) coming... I didn't see her jumping down his throat (like Jillian can do sometimes...well, most of the time) before he just decided he wasn't going to take her advice. David's numbers are not very impressive for someone who is so overweight, so I'm guessing he has been a <100> all along. Go team black!! A little schmaltzy last night, and I think we didn't really need to see the "private" talk between Jillian and Hollie. What a tough way for her to have to go out. They didn't make it clear, so I'm wondering whether she will be able to rejoin them in a week or something. I don't think anyone from any of the teams would hold that against her. She may want to go back to camp to focus herself on something positive.

While both Kim and Jillian are very tough on their people, Kim seems to attack without seeming to care while Jillian's words seem to motivate and her true caring shows thru the tough words. Red Team should have voted out Kim this week. She is not motivating or leading her team...and her threats are ridiculous...so she is going to be furious (per her words) if they let Phil go...I thought she was WAY out of line throwing her girl teamate under the bus like that...she can encourage and lay out the facts but instead she threatened. I don't know about them, but threats do not motivate me...they just make me determined to "show you"...if you know what I mean. Looking forward to Kim's reaction next week and to see what the deal is with Jillian showed in the previews. Wonder if they are broken up into two teams and one of the trainers has to leave? Should be interesting.

But, Bob didn't tell them who they should or shouldn't vote out, just that it couldn't be a tie. Kim pretty much told them that Amy needed to go.
