OK I just watched the so called triathalon and I am pissed off lol! It is totally unfair that Kae did not win the thing - winning the first two legs meant nothing? Huh? And Holly should have given Kae the other 24 hours in recognition of that. Plus she didn't eat a donut! I wish there would be a fan favorite voted.

The triathalon would have been a lot more interesting (and fair) if the contestants had been able to go right into the next part instead of having to wait for the others to get done first.

I wonder how long of a break there was in between as well b/c on the show it was seconds but it could have been hours. They probably didn't want any one to cramp up or run out of steam and drown in the pool!!

I didn't mind the break in between. These guys are still significantly overweight and just recently physically active. I just wish they would have added the times from the three events together (which is what a triathalon is after all). I would also argue that Kae would still not have won in that circumstance. If she knew she had a real shot then who knows how that adrenelin push would have helped. She was robbed!!! LOLOL

Good thinking Rissa!! Like you said, maybe Kae still would have lost, but at least it would have been more fair!

I am so glad Isabeau turned on Amy. Amy's behavior all the way through was no reason for loyalty. She left with no class whatsoever- and her grandstanding attention getting act of trying to give the shirt back to Kim was disgusting imo. I look forward to Kim finding out she left instead of B! When Amy got home I felt like the competitive demons left and she was much more sympathetic. I can root for her in life but not on the show. At this point I think I would be happy if Kae (especially), Holly, Bill, or B won. Neil must go!

I think the finale will be awesome ie Kim & Jillian fighting over Amy.

And I thought if they were really going to have a triathalon, instead of just two elimination contests with a swim to win, then Kae should have started on the treadmill IMMEDIATELY after she got off the bike to be followed by the next bike finisher, etc., and when she finished on the treadmill.. Exactly, Seamonkey. Why did they start each one separately? It really worked against Kae and should have been continuous so as to favor each of their strengths.

Does anyone think Jillian is jealouse of Kim? I keep getting that feeling. To me, a real professional would have encouraged Amy to work it out with her original trainer.

Just a reminder that tonight is the premiere of Biggest Loser Australia with Jillian and Bob training. Its on the Slice Network in Canada which I am not sure is available in the USA.

BL Australia - Rissa did you watch? There are some very big women on this version in the 350 range, several men as well and one man over 400 lbs. This crew did mention that they were made to wear what they had on and many of the men were just as mortified as the women. They even had two of the men in bikini underwear. Lots of tears, a very emotional first show and they have not even picked the teams yet, they are leaving that to Bob and Jillian. Can I say I did not like the way Jillian was dissecting these people. Even Bob with his comment we got some big Aussies. I guess I expect them to be a little more sensitive. I also expect the first weigh-in of the competition to be dramatic as they all pretty much gorged themselves on the last supper prior to the initial weigh in.

Of course I watched Jasper. LOLOL Did you feel like this version is much more stripped down, less...... Hollywood? Maybe its the absence of a never-ending soundtrack in the background but it came across to me as more reality, less gameshow in camparison. I will never complain about BL making them wear those silly athletic bras and sans shirts again after seeing those poor guys in the speedos. ITA with you about the comments Jillian and Bob were making but we never really see the trainers interact here in N.A., perhaps they do the same thing here but behind the scenes? I cannot BELIEVE the way some of those folks ate!! The comments some of the others made were right on the money. That first weigh-in will be dramatic but mostly artificial I think due to the gorging. Definately will keep watching.

Rissa - Your right it does seem a lot less slick, more real, which is fine by me. And the fact that the host has lost 68k! That's impressive. I loved that they had to bring all the furnishings in as there first workout. I actually was surprised that more people did not pass on the meal, I can't imagine what the room must have smelt like. I like my food but that looked stomach churning.

It's on the Slice Network in Canada Chili. Ya, less slick suits me just fine as well. I wonder if the host is a celebrity as well or picked strictly because of her own weight loss. Re that last dinner, a couple of the folks said that just the noises of people eating were making them sick. Can you imagine?

I hope I am not the only one boohooing! I loved loved loved Kae's reunion with her husband, what a beautiful and touching love they have. And her dress was gorgeous! I loved seeing their makeovers and especially their visit to the Days set. Lucas looked fabulous as usual and Hope was so sweet to give Kae a necklace of hers.

I so dislike how Neil played the game... drats! Wish a guy or two would go - hate to see Kae leave, but I understand the "game play" of getting rid of her, those percentages really are different!! Isabues should be kicking herself for not getting rid of B when the opportunity came knocking!!

Kae started at 225 and now weighs 137, she lost 88 lbs! More than 39% of her body weight, good for her!

I don't get how Kae was a threat. She had already lost most of the weight that she could. Even if she got down to like 120 it would still be shy of 45% or so. Past winners were all over 50%. Also, since she was already less than 150 the next couple of weeks she probably would not have big numbers and therefore would be easy to pick off later. I just don't get that she was the biggest threat.

Another thing... I don't like Jillian this year. She seems too cocky to me now like her fame has gone to her head.

I read in TV Guide that they are changing the rules for Season 5. No more water weight gain to boost your numbers....or manipulate the game.
