I'm so sad to see Jerry go and I can't believe how great he looked. I was hoping we could watch an older person go through the process but I should have known the "young kids" would vote him off.

Please - having weight-loss surgery is not the "easy way out". I used to belong to two Weight Loss Surgery email groups, plus I attended three meetings at a hospital in San Francisco. The room was packed with pre & post surgery people.

The surgery & recovery is painful life-changing; complications can occur, including death.

I met people who went from over 500 lbs to less than 200 - people who could barely move, had to sleep sitting up because they might stop breathing during their sleep, people who couldn't clean themselves properly, etc. Post surgery and recovery, they now have a LIFE.

There's truly nothing "easy" about it.

Dee did you have that surgery? 3 people I know are going to have it! I told my Hubby even though we both have gained weight ya know what we love each other and as Long as we love each other It Is What It Is! I think unless it is a medical problem people put way too much criticism on weight! As a teen the first person that made a comment about me being Fat (and I wasn't) put that picture in my mind for more years than I care to mention :-(

I felt bad for Jerry but felt he was the right person to go too. He had lost a LOT of weight and with his age the odds are he would have slowed down. No-one has a crystal ball but the others being younger and all... The arguement about Kai didn't hold water since the results are by percentage instead of pounds. Didn't Jerry look awesome though? I never get over how much the faces change.

I also felt bad for Jerry, and it was good to see how successful he has been. I never saw him being voted off coming.

I loved the speech Jerry gave to his teammates about respect and honor. They didn't comply, but it brought back good memories of how things used to work. I think he could have helped them in the weightloss arena had he stayed. He lost an additional 45 lbs. or so.

I was sad he left, but happy that Kae stayed. The person I wanted to go home was Neil.

I liked her site, Panda. I guess the price isn't bad. If anyone does join, I'd be interested in seeing how they like it. I'd like to see the exercises she has.

Does anyone know how the show works after the contestents get booted?

I have always suspected that the show pays for a "home town trainer" for them once they leave the show. I'm not saying that I believe it goes on for a very long time. It's just that I know that every viewer looks so forward to seeing how well they have all turned out (the ones that get voted out). The more weight they lose the greater the ratings I'm sure!

I just can't help but think that they wouldn't use every opportunity to help them succeed so that the show looks better? My...I'm sounding very suspicious! LOL

Trueheart, I met Amber at 24 Hour Fitness just after she returned home from Biggest Loser this year. I think it was end of April? I spoke with my trainer about seeing her there and he told me that his boss was suppose to help Amber and be her trainer.

We know from Amber's interview, at home, after she was booted that she was given equipment at her home to use...I assumed it was from Biggest Loser.

So, what we may know.....Biggest Loser provides: 1. Gym membership
2. A personal trainer
3. Home Exercise equipment

We have some proof of those things.

I would be willing to bet there is some kind of nutritional counseling also.

Wow! - Jerry was just on the Today show and he has lost 100 lbs and looks amazing. He and his wife are planning to bicycle across the United States next year.

Holy! Good job Jerry! They should have an equal prize for the person who loses the most at home. IMO thats an even better accomplishment then doing it at the ranch.

I met Kim at the Olympia this past weekend. She is beautiful, really tv doesn't do justice for her. She looks phenomial! Better than that, she has such a warm personality, she was extremely encouraging to me when I told her that she had my dream body (and she does!) . We took a photo together, she was gracious, humble, and just a really caring person. It was really neat to meet her...

I was so irked by tonight's show. I know that the blue team has to be sitting there wondering "if only....." Bob is right to an extent. They have a hard time making decisions as evidenced by this week and also by last week when 2 of their team went for the calories when only one of them was supposed to.

I have to admit that the red team is superior in the challenges. The black team is downright fearsome. But my heart, for whatever reason, is with the blue team. I think it's because the ghost/heart of Jerry is still with me. Jerry is an amazing person and I'm very glad he got the chance to be on the show.

I hated seeing Jerry go. My heart is with the black team, closely followed by the Blue team.

And really, props to most everyone on the show.

I know it is the way the show is, but I hate to see that much advantage given, and I suppose next week the red team will have larger losses, cuz they sure didn't this week.

Unfortunately the Blue Team refused to take matters into their own hands and sat back and hoped for failure by the other teams in the challenge. Then they wanted to leave it up to the other teams to decide who would go home till Bob intervened. I like Bob alot and I like the blue team, but this week they got what they deserved. Hopefully they will learn from this and step up to the plate next time, take their future into their own hands and quit sitting back and hoping for the best.

The Red teams lack of weight loss, makes you wonder if there hasn't been a bit of snacking going on...lol Wouldn't be the first time. Hope they get things back on track.

I am not liking the new host this year. I was hoping she would add something to the show but I see nothing so far not even Carolyn smile or sense of humor.

One more gripe...the weigh ins are too long...think it took up 1/3 of the show last night..uggh...I would rather see how they work out and plan and eat their meals and some interaction between the players...the show seems much less personal this year.

I have to admit that the red team is superior in the challenges.

how could they not be? that one guy is a tall longlegged 'strongman' kind
of person. Yeah he has some fat but seriously, I watch the Strongest Man comps sometimes on sports channel. This guy looks to me that he is packed muscle with some fat on top. Watching him run was amazing...the speed!

anyways what I was going to say is a four person team, three of them men is going to do better than a team with more women.

I'm not being mean. it is just plain a fact that women carry the weight differently and most of them do not have the core muscle that the men have.

anyways, I was rather disappointed to see the lady go this week. I liked her and felt she was a real person who needed to be there.

I'm sure the fact she had small children at home was a reason the others rationalized that she was the one to go.

Anyways, I am just watching at this point. I havent got a favourite and am not rooting for anyone. LOVED to see Jillian Back, I really intensely dislike that Kim replacement. If anyone talked to me like that I'd walk out of the gym.

Mind you, the two times I hired trainors they spent more time flirting with the guys and helping other people.

In other words, I wasted my money LOL

I'm also happy that Jillian is back.

I agree the Blue Team caused their own grief this time.

And I really agree.. WAY too much time on weigh-ins and fake cliffhangers and then repeating so much after the commercial.. VERY VERY annoying.

That is why I watch this show off the DVR. Can totally fast forward the crap to get to the meat.
