Dan safe from elimination since he has highest percentage of weight loss. Interesting!

It could be 2 to 2. Probably time for Mark to go, he doesn't need the campus anymore.

Thank you so much for spoiling. The previews all showed the guys emotional, have they shown that yet?

They are doing that now. A bit too much emotion.

Roger, who it looked like was a lost cause, reminded Mark that when Trent went he said that when it was his time to go and was best for the team he would go. After much sloppy soul searching, Mark has told the team to vote for him.

Doesn't Mark have a stress fracture in his leg as well?

Smart move on his part. There is no way that they would have let the brothers stay in there, so a "sacrifice" is the most effective way to go.

Good move on Roger's part. I like his low keyed view of the world.

I like Roger, too. And I actually like Mark. He is definitely a competitor. (And he is looking very good!)

And the vote is in. Mark. You are not the biggest loser.

Mark went from size 44 pants to 32. What cute kids he has! Went from 285 to 195 lbs.

It is hard to see Mark having a 32 pants...my dh is 140lbs 5'10" and is 32 waist. Mark does look great though

Sorry - haven't read the above posts (just starting to watch on TIVO) but I HAD to comment. What the heck is up w/Roger's comments w/the beard? Are we supposed to believe he grew that right after the weigh-in and then shaved it for their next scene? COME ON editors! Give us a little credit! LOL

Ok - I'll come back and read everything else after I've seen the show. :-)

Okey dokey, then. My dad called before I had watched, and he commented on all the crying (didn't specify who it was). Now I see why. I can understand some emotion, but good heavens...it was a bit over the top. Maybe I'm too cynical, but at one point, I literally said aloud, "Suck. It. Up. and Get. Over. It!"

Despite the soap opera at the end, I really liked Mark, and MAN he looks fantastic! I admire his dedication and perseverance. Actually, I thought each and every one of them looked spectacular tonight - when they showed their starting pix and then their current look, their hard work was clearly evident! Good for all of them. :-)

Teach, I agree about the crying. That was ridiculous. When the flood gates opened during the voting -- I turned it off.

I was amazed at the amount of crying that went on in that episode. I never liked Mark, and I'm glad to see him gone. I always felt he was too much of a gamer. I really like Roger and love Bernie from the black team. I definately agree about the tattoo. Dan's was soooo big, I never could see exactly what it was. I hope he doesn't plan to make a career of singing.

Mark's % weight loss moved to 29.47%, so Dan would have passed him even if Mark had stayed. Bernie made a big move this week, but how will he come back next week after losing 10 pounds this week?

The entire black team really lost a bunch for this weeks weigh in. I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 black team members below the yellow line as they move to individuals next week. If it's Bernie, the blue team would likely take that opportunity to vote him out. I'm have no clue who would go if it was Maggie and Brittany (or even Kelly). Blue team would control the vote with 3 out of the 5 votes, so anything can happen.

If it ends up 1 blue and 1 black, the the black team will have control and a blue will go for sure.

I currently rank them Roger, Dan and then Bernie for best chance to win it all, if they can survive to the end.

We need a special BL trophy for Bob's charts. At the very least we need to get him to commit to chart-making for all upcoming seasons. LOL

I agree with Bob at this point, except that I will reverse Roger and Dan. Dan seem uber competative and more obviously embraces game play IMO.

For me the variable is still the time to the final weigh-in. They are all capable of losing the weight given enough time (except for the ones who just don't have it to lose in the first place like Brittany). Women lose slower so if the weigh-in doesn't give them time then they don't stand a chance.

Perhaps a fairer way to win this show would be for a medical team to establish each person's goal weight (including % fat). Everyone who gets to their goal is in the pool for the final prize and then work out how it is awarded at that point. Could still have the current system up until the participants head home. That way someone like Brittany would still stand a chance.

This last Tuesday was the first time that the Today Show did not feature last week's evicted loser. Not even a mention of Paul or why he couldn't be there. That's not a good sign for Paul...but then I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how you go to the hospital with double pneumonia and manage to gain weight! Something's just not on the up and up with that guy.

Hated to see Mark go, but it was time. He had lost most of his weight and didn't need to be there, plus he was injured and no longer a help to his team. This bunch of guys has been the weepiest bunch I've seen on this show to date. What an emotional group!

Good thing Dan was exempt or I fear he'd have been heading home. Those other three were pretty tight. Still loving this show and being inspired every week. I call Tuesday's my "last chance workout's"...like Bob and Jillian are going to chew me out if I don't give it my all. (I know...I'm way too involved.)

Bob, you need your own little segment on the show... with charts and graphs and odds making! And when they ask you can I be your Vanna? I would be especially effective with a laser pointer.

The crying on last night's show was akin to what I have seen with murdered children. I admit it...I don't appreciate an overly emotional man! I cry pretty easily, but don't think I have cried that uncontrollably since my overly-hormonal teenaged years.

Rissa, there has got to be a better way and I agree about the goal weight. I'd actually prefer that noone go home. I say that they stay in as long as they continue to work hard and lose weight and then in the end they split a sum of money based on challenges along the way. I'm bored with the voting people out stuff. That's been done. I'd love competition against "the system" and seeing more of the encouraging/sabatoging they naturally do to each other along the way. I think that would teach people more about weight loss than this format.

on 3 - - P-R-I-D-E

OMG - a lil over the top, frat style for my taste, with way too much whining and crying and DRAMA - get over yourselves already...

however, I do want a tattoo to commerate our "brotherhood" but, we each get something completely and totally different, but as long as we have PRIDE on it, its exactly the same, and wea re BROTHERS bro - so on 3 - PRIDE, PRIDE ON 3 let me hear it...

(eye roll here)

and for goodness sake, I am so over girls vs boys in a comp where the girls cannot possibly win w/o strategy.. (more eye roll here!!)

I guess I feel so over the top manipulated by reality shows, I'm throwing it all back under the bus!!

lol - I totally agree, Reader. I am glad Mark is gone, and I concur with all the previous posters who've said there needs to be a male and female winner.

I still think that there is no reason that a woman couldn't win. It may be generally easier for a man to win it but a woman could certainly have won last season.
