Can someone set me straight? Brit weighed 221 at the beginning? Left campus as 170? Said in the follow-up that she had lost 62 total and had been home 3 weeks? So she has lost 11 lbs at home (3.67 lbs per week)? Do I have the facts correct?

Yes Rissa you are correct. Brittany lost more weight in her first three weeks at home (11 lbs.) than she did in the last three weeks on the show (9 lbs.). Wonder how Jillian feels about it?

IMO, Jillian was suffocating Brittany on the show. Can't really tell from the editing if Jillian's training was enabling Brittany or if Jillian was putting too much stress on Brittany, hindering her potential to loose weight.

IMO, Jillian saw herself in Brittany. IIRC, in either season one or season two, Jillian revealed that she was extremely overweight in her late teens or early twenties. After she lost all her weight she became a trainer. Jillian said on tonight's show that she saw Brittany as a little sister. I think what Jillian really saw was Jillian at 21. Maybe now with Brittany gone, Ali and Kelly will be given a fairer shake from their trainer.

Brittany's better being away from Jillian. I'm also glad I don't have to see her again on my TV until the finale. :-)

Props to Roger and Dan for sticking with their teammate. I like seeing people honor their commitments to each other. "Pride on Three!"

Right now, I'm hoping Jay ends up this season's Biggest Loser. I'd like to see him finally beat his older brother. I think Mark would be excited for his little brother if that happened too. However, I'll be happy with any one of the remaining six contestants winning this game.

Great gameplay by Ali in tonight's vote. Realizing the Blue Team would stick together and vote out Brittany, Ali did the same. That vote by Ali should assure her both Mark and Jay's vote to stay if she and Kelly both fall below the yellow line next week. However next week, I'm feeling two Blue Team members will both be below the yellow line. I'm guessing Dan and Mark, with Dan going home.

Teach I saw that too (the sweat). I was thinking that it might be a sign that Jillian was right and Brits electrolytes were off and like you mentioned Jillian did say it would take a week to kick in. Makes me wonder if she should have just had a blood test done weeks ago when she wasn't shedding weight as expected. Anyway, thanks to our Bob we all know that Brit would not have won this game under any circumstances anyway so its good that she lasted as long as she did and with the results of her first three weeks post-camp I have no doubt she will indeed be 'sexy hot' at the reunion.

Actually she is not the first to do better at home....right off the top of my head, remember the season they did picks by states....the year Eric won. When they brought back the girl and guy who had been on their own at home.....both of them had larger percentages of weight loss (Amy and Jaren) than most on the ranch.

Loved the make overs....Ali looked great!

I am glad Brittany is home...Jillian was way too attached and made it way too personal.

Agreed, I think Jillian was part of the problem in this case. I think she was too close to Brittany and kept trying to go for the big weight losses. Brittany was so convinced that she could not make it at home. Stress does inhibit weight loss in some people.

Dan has moved into a real strong position. He's got a slight lead on Mark and the numbers highlighted in red don't bode well for either Mark or Ali. Roger still has some work to do, but showed that he can still put up a monster number.

If the blue team stays true to form, then either Kelly or Ali will go home next week if either of them is below the yellow line. Ali would probably go home if they both fall below.

I thought it said Brittany had lost 82 pounds total. Of course I could be rong.

Well, my concern for Jay seems to be right on. He does a whole lot better without Mark around.

I was sorry to see Brittany go, but maybe she will be like Jay and do a whole better without Jillian breathing down her neck. That extra stress isn't helping.

Loved the makeovers. So glad to see Dan cut that hair. Long hair looks good on some people...but on Dan not so much.

Thought Roger looked totally spiffy.

Wasn't nuts about Brit's dress but applaud her daring. After wearing that dress...jumping out of a plane is a piece of cake!

Loved Kelly's second look. And Ali owned that dress.

Boohooed at all the reunions...but that is just par for the course for me. Great show...thoroughly enjoyed!

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks to me like in the banner above...they've got Jay and Mark mixed up.

Yes, they are wrong above. Good catch.

I liked Roger up to this show. Did not like the way he treated Kelly when she said that she could not vote for Brittany to go. Why did he want a unanomous vote for Brittany? As Kelly said, she's going home anyway, so what did it matter who Kelly voted for. Then, when he chastised Mark for not 'being Mark'. Personally, I like the new Mark. It suits him more.

It appears to me that Roger does not accept that this is a life changing experience. I suspect that Roger is controlling the blue team's game much more than they have shown up to now.

BTW - I like Kelly much more now that her ex is gone. I think that it was not good having him around. She seems much more stable now.

After I hit F5 it looks better. LOL

Now if you just add an X to the 2 of them.
You can move them from Bernie and Brittany.

LOL - Don't confuse me Bob! They aren't really gone, right?

I love this show, but we are usually one episode behind watching it. We watch it with our little girls (who for some inexplicable reason, greatly enjoy it).

Well, I certainly agreed with booting Maggie over Brittany, that made sense, but booting Brittany over Jay? All of Dan's talk about wanting to win this and all.. and he caved. Roger should have been down with that, too. I mean they finally split up the brothers and then had one returned to them and here was their big chance and they blew it. Not only are they each a threat, but they each have that built in guaranteed vote when they are up for elimination.

Loved the makeovers, especially Kelly, Ali, Dan...

I also agree that Jillian was part of Brittany's problem in some strange way.

Maggie was completely convinced she couldn't do well at home and that didn't bode well for her since they ALL have to go home soon anyway and live the rest of their lives. She seemed SO pessimistic. And she seemed to be doing pretty well at home so far.

You've got it right Jimmer.

Just some wishful rewriting of history on my part.

I think Ali looks like she has lost her weight too quickly...like her skin hasn't elasticized quick enough.

I am surprised that Jay's BMI is that low. Mark and Ali are going to have difficulty losing much more. Wow....if Kelly could step up that metabolism a bit, she could win this thing! They won't let her stay in, though. I wonder when the pride will end. I think they will get out Kelly and then it will begin. I think they may keep Ali in. They like her, and they think they can beat her. And it wouldn't be a bad move on their parts. But then again, Brittany would have been their very best chance to win. Though, they don't have Bob's nifty charts and graphs to clue them in like we do!

Does anyone here watch Medium? Doesn't Kelly look like she could be the mother of the middle daughter on that show. Their faces are almost identical IMO.

Pop quiz on calories. Dan wins and gets a piece of cake. He says thanks?

Dan guards his cake as he's going to take it to the challenge per Allison's suggestion. Someone grabs the cake and leaves a "ransom" note signed by Kelly. Kelly plays innocent.
