I am at the point there is just 3 people left, and 2 back to back shows left to go! One from 7 - 8 and the last from 8 till 9:30, The Bob style trainer would work for me LOL! I would be the type that needs to be encouraged not yelled at! The other trainer is like a Jillian on steroids LOL

In the Aussie version it has Jill and Bob there. I notice that when she asks the the contestants how the weigh-in went, she tends to convert it to pounds in a light way. She'll say "1.8 kilos? That's like almost 4 pounds, right?" Helps me out, because I never figure it out quickly even though I know 2.2 lbs.= 1 kg. Even though like the UK we in Canada use the metric scale for everything else (or so it seems - km for driving speeds and distances, food labels, etc.), we still use the standard scale for body weight.

Hmmm -- don't see it listed on Directv anywhere. Have to see if I can dig it up on youtube.

I'm not that far along with UK.. but they sure are "gutted" over and over :-)

I agree that Angie is a bit much, though her team seemed to end up appreciating her and I think she really cares, but she's a bit stern.

Jillian on steroids and tattooed too..
I think the guy seems a bit easier on them than Bob is.

Interesting that when they went to individual comp and the yellow line and percentage (up until then it was pounds lost that week) they are using TOTAL percent lost not % that week.

I just watched this week's episode this morning. Did anyone else notice at the weigh in when Brittany was talking about how hurt she was that Bob did not pick them for the Blue Team, and they showed Bob looking upset by her comments, that he was holding a blue team T-shirt? That clip was obviously taken when one of his team members was being weighed in, not when Brittany was talking. I guess his real reaction wasn't dramatic enough for the producers :-)

After watching the BL UK marathon, I got a phone call and missed the ending. Can someone tell me who won? I assume it was either Aaron or Mark.

FYI, the big scale seen on TV for the weigh ins is not real...it is only for dramatic purposes. They are weighed before the weigh in and are not allowed to see their weights till the fake weigh in. So if they wear jewelery, or big shirts, or whatever...it does not matter...they are not truly being weighed.

The only reason they are made to take off their shirts (guys) and the women wear sports bras and spandex is so the viewer and camera can see the changes....remember by the time we get down to about the final six...the guys and girls all leave their shirts on for the weigh ins.

Aaron
, but not 100% sure.

Boberg, yeah that makes sense about the fake scales.

In the UK version, one thing I really liked is they don't do that ridiculous random up and down with the numbers until they finally show the "real" one. They start at the last weight and then go up or down and they can hear each "click" to know if it is still going down or not. Much better for the viewers.

They do that with Australia, too, Seamonkey. I didn't watch the last two U.S. BLs - did they used to drag out the weigh-ins then like they do couples BL? I wonder if because it's two hours long they have to stretch it out. But I find it so annoying - I have my finger glued to the FFwd button when I watch Couples BL.

Seamonkey's right, Bombaycat. He won. I didn't want him to; however, because he turned on his bud not once, but twice. I felt like he, Nat and the blonde played everyone in that house. I wanted the guy from the Red Team to win.

I didn't want him to win either.. it was funny but after watching it for hours and hours I was getting tired and sort of drifting and then it was right down to the end and I know I was "watching" and it ended and I erased it and then I thought.. uh.. am I sure he won? lol

yea it was a runaway...the black team won after only 4 members weighed in..Bernie hadn't even weighed in and they had already beat the % of the blue team.

I just hope that it doesn't effect dan's performance, he seems like such a nice guy and him and jackie were very shocked that she was sent home!!

I'll try this again. The post wouldn't go through when I tried, but I've had success in a different area, so here goes!!

Jackie went home. She thought she had it in the bag to stay and was really ticked when it turned out to be her. There was another "You swore on your childrens' lives" drama. LOL I can't say I'll miss her!!

they should keep the older women around because they have a harder time losing weight usually

a better bet would hav been her son, Dan, he is a young man, he could win this thing

The one black team member has a stress fracture in his right leg. He can only work with weights or in the pool. I thought they might vote him out. Do you think the old black and grey teams have an alliance?

We got interupted after the first hour with primary stuff.

It's Mark, on the Blue Team, who has the stress fracture.

The Black team wasn't eating hardly anything - Britany admitted to Jillian to eating 500 calories a day if she was lucky!

Jillian hammered in to them about eating MORE. She worked their butts off in the gym, and they all ate more calories - hence, a great loss for all of them.

Wasn't it Mark that ate the candy? And he still had the greatest blue team weight loss?
