Rissa is right - after Neil (from the season that aired last fall I believe) gained 17 lbs from water-loading, and then lost over 30 the next week, they changed the rules.

If you GAIN, that weight gets taken away from you at the next weigh in. So if this week you gain 5 lbs, but next week you lose 12 lbs, you only get credit for 7 lbs.

However, if they are water loading just enough to prevent huge weight losses, and still are showing either even or small losses, there really isn't anything that can be done about that.

They can't start limiting water intake - these people are exercising too hard and long to do that.

I hate, with a passion, Vicky, Brady and Heba and am soo friggin' glad that Brady is gone this week! I hope Ed sees the light - but it's too late in my mind for Heba. And because of that, I want Ed gone too.

Does anyone know if they are allowed to weigh themselves in between the official weigh-ins? If they can, that would give them the opportunity to see how much they weigh ahead of time and water load accordingly.

Sure hope it's against the rules to weigh in between weigh-ins.

I really do not believe they are allowed to weigh in between "official weigh ins". In fact, the weigh in seen on TV is a fake scale...they are weighed before, standing backwords so they do not know what they weigh till the "official" weigh in....that way you get a real look of surprise on everyone's face and it allows TPTB to arrainge the order of the weigh in for dramatic purposes.

Count me in on the 'dislike' of Vicki, Brady, and Heba...

while they are not very likeable they are probably helping the ratings....producers tend to like drama...lol

"Water loading" is ok as long as you do not weigh more that week...all game play.

I missed the previews but its sounds interesting!!!

I hope Amy realizes she will be #4 with either team and she may as well vote out the nasty one. She is playing this game on her own at the moment.

And I love Coleen. She cracked me up in the water competition. She's a tough cookie (oh...is that a poor choice in words here?)

No Amy!!!! I think she made the wrong decision. My guess is that she did it due to pressure from Bob.

You know she did it because of Bob. It sure wasn't in her best interest. You think Vicky will save her if she goes below the yellow line - only if she goes below with Michelle or Renee.

Her best game would be to team up with M & R & get one of those other blues out next. She would be #3 with them instead of #4.

I haven't been paying attention to this show until I started reading the recaps in here. I thought it was getting to be more about the "game" than losing weight.

For any of you who have not seen this yet tonight, if you pay attention to the previews for next week - you can get a VERY good idea of where they land for next week. I used the slow motion to catch it. I was surprised it was so obvious. If you want, I can post what I saw tomorrow. Some people have no desire to be spoiled though.

the show was a little more tolerable than last week but not happy at the outcome. Amy definitely felt pressure to vote blue this week no matter what.

Just for you Panda, and also because I am having yet another night of insomnia...

If you viewed the previews for next week, you can see 4 of the 6 weight loss percentages. Renee is on the scale being weighed in the scene. Here is what it said (as best I could see):
Vicky 3.74%
Ed 3.40%
Heba 3.03%
Amy 2.89%
Renee (on scale)
Michelle (not weighed yet)

It makes me wonder if there was some water loading antics going on this week as a "test" for Amy to vote with her so-called "team."

Like a fool I cried almost as many tears as Colleen did tonight. Even tho I knew she was leaving (she got so much show time tonight and that made it obvious who was leaving) I hate to see her go...she seemed so sweet and geniune.

Arrgh!... Grammy, just FF to the end to see how good Coleen looks at home and with her boyfriend..

==================

week 9

Aftermath of booting of Brady:

Coleen still in shock over Amy's vote. Amy says everyone was shocked and the opportunity came up to kick out the second highest percentage in the house. (first highest % being Amy (me)). Renee says now not focussing on three black vs 4 blue. Michelle tells Amy the three blacks are there for her.

Ed tells us he would be nervous if he was Amy.. Vicky is crazy, will claw your fricken' eyes out. Vicky strews f-bombs through a rant to Heba against Amy. Heba commiserates.

Vicky tells us that the Blue team should be "frolicking in the Garden of Eden" but that "stupid back-stabbing b... bit the apple and effed it all up for us". Just personally how I feel.

Vicky charmingly tells Heba that she loves her husband and will miss him but she is more pissed off about the game.

Meahwhile Heba tells us she isn't going to get involved, just wants to stay above the yellow line this week, then people can do the hell what they want so if she and Ed don't give them the choice, none of that matters.

Vicky rants on about Amy

Next day, 5:30am.. all sleeping but Vicky has posted her Revenge poster calling Amy a lying B.. and wanting her gone.

6:00am.. Vicky working all alone on elliptical, bike, treadmill, etc. focussed on burning calories.

8:00am, Michelle and Renee arrive in gym.. Vicky still working hard.

Bob meets with Ed, Heba and Vicky, asks where Amy and Brady are. Vicky says Amy is upstairs and Brady is on a plane home. Bob is surprised.

Vicky calls Amy a lying backstabbing b... again..

Bob tells us that it was unbelievable that Amy would vote Brady out (ed. does BOB GET that for Amy this is Biggest Loser, not "drag Bob's team along until they are done with me" Loser?)

Vicky cannot look at Amy, will say something mean and ugly, have to get rid of her.

Bob says Vicky wants to get Amy out and when you get so personal it will only mess up Vicky. Revenge will bite her in the ass.

Bob goes to talk to Amy, tells others to head to the gym. My team is falling apart right now.

Bob visits a quiet Amy upstairs. She is crying. He doesn't want to be upset, has to try to support her.

Bob tells us that he's learned that wearing the same color shirt doesn't guarantee loyalty, had to do what she thought she had to do.

He tells her she was taking care of herself, encourages her. He respects that.

Tells us Amy has been consistent, highest % in house, realizes she could win this. Talks about season three and how Erik won after voting off his last blue team mate. Amy promises not to "let Bob down".

All walking to gym and a Delorean pulls up. Jillian steops out, dressed for Eighties week. Allison doing 80's speak, going back in time .. they will have 80's workout.

We see all sorts of 80's outfits and items.

Heba not thrilled. Renee says she had 5 kids in the 80s. Ed says he was kind of a pimp back then.. he loves his crotch-hugger shorts.. Heba laughing at him, Amy loves anything eighties.

Black team arrive at 24 hr Fitness to fint Jillian with Anthony Carr, choreographer.. they will break dance.. but it is flashdance stuff.. "Maniac", lol.

Blue team meets Bob.. he jokes with his team, wants them to work together, sweat and laugh together.. talks of groups they can take back at home, keep moving. They are doing aerobics and stepping. All having fun, except Vicky. Now he talks to them about moving forward, don't lose sight, etc. Vicky snarks about Amy to us.

No one wants to talk (Vicky looks like she was just forced to eat from the litter box).

Eighties Challenge Stage with stations with buckets over each place.. Testing on knowledge of the way things were then.. They have to hold a handle attached to a barrel containing 50% of your body weight in water. Answer trivia questions. Heba points out that Coleen was in kindergarten and Renee was raising kids.

Answer correctly, add water to another barrel (we see Vicky plotting), answer incorrectly, water added to your barrel. Last person standing wins.. winner takes home wireless stereo headsets for whole family. Motorla workouts recoreded by Bob AND choice of $5,000 cash or 1 pound penalty for one other person at weigh in.

Vicky tells us that is all she can think about, giving a one pound penalty to someone.

Vicky wants to make sure Ed, Heba or Vicky win.,

They are holding on to like a water ski line with both hands/handle that goes down and then up to the barrels overhead.

Q1. Since 1980 obesity rates have nearly doubled, tripled, quadrupled. They have foot controls to answer.

Ed says quadrupled.. Ed gets water added.. additional 25%.

Q2. In the 80's one of most popular workout videos promised to give you buns of what?

(guess it is first to answer type of thing..)
Heba says steel.. correct.. She puts water in Coleen's barrel. Coleen gets 25% added.

Q3. NIH classified obesity as s diseas in 1985 T/F

Coleen says true, correct.. Coleen choose Ed, so Ed gets up to 100% of body weight.. he's struggling. His barrel is tilting.. and he is drenched. Heba is upset.

Q4. % of Americans with diabetes has increased by what % since 1980? 100, 200 or 300

Coleen.. 100% Wrong.. correct is 300%

Coleen gets another 25% added to her barel.

Q5. 20 years ago US boys drank twice as much milk as soda. Today, they drink twice as much soda as milk. T/F

Amy says true, correct.. Adds water to Vicky. Vicky says Amy is alligned with black team.

Q6. Today, most commonly purchased women's dress size in Americ is a size 14. In 1985, it was a size? 8, 10 or 12?

Renee says C 12, incorrect.. it was 8. Renee gets 25%. Felt she sabotages self.

Amy is out..

Coleen fighting a losing battle, and loses

Renee and Vicky at 100%, Michelle and Heba at 75%.

Q7. Today, women between ages of 20 and 39 are eating an average of 385 extra calories a day compared to the 80's That's enough to gain how many pounds in one year? 20, 26.7 or 35.8

Heba chooses A

Incorrect so Heba gets 25% more weight. Heba now at 100%.

Vicky remembered challege where she couldn't feel fingers for a week, so she let go.

Q8. Who won a Grammy for best video of the year in 1982 for a music video that featured her working out in a leotard?

A Madonna, but Heba rings in..

Olivia Newton-John. Correct..

Heba chooses Renee, so now Renee has 125%. Heba starts struggling but Ed coaches her. And Buh bye Heba.

Renee still not sure she should let go but she lets Michelle win and stay dry. Michelle says her mom knows she's getting a handbag? Michelle gets the headsets for her family, the two workouts by Bob and will give her decision AT the weigh in whether she'll take $5,000 or add a pound to someone's weight.

We get a tease about a weigh-in you have to see to believe.

Bob walks with Vicky and Heba and tells Vicky she has to work with Amy, that they still have the numbers. Vicky cannot have a loose effing cannon, Amy never came and said she made the wrong decision. Says they have to talk, the four of them. Bob says the numbers are there. (ed: is he crazy? Amy should keep the three other blues who hate her???)

Tells Vicky to bury the hatchet.

Last Chance workouts Jillian says they still don't have the votes.. very tough spinning class.. then treadmills.. lots of tears.. good work with Michelle.

Ziploc product placement with Jillian and blacks.. produce bags.

Coleen tries on a blouse that was in her goal closet and it looks good, fits.. Medium (she was a 2X) She goes to show Renee and Michelle..

We see Amy apologizing to a frowning Vicky (sigh) She says she changed her mind at the last minute.. Didn't trust that they would save her. What she needed to do. Vicky says hard to trust Amy again. And tells us no she doesn't trust Amy.
Heba thought Amy was sincere, or really smart.

Bob pushes nuts or apples..

Bob at his last chance workout.. he is worried about that one pound..

Weigh in

Vicky and Heba worried about the one pound penalty Michelle could take..

Same deal, bottom two are vulnerable. Michelle has option of one pound penalty, but promised Mom designer purse.. Michelle says true, I owe mom a designer handbag and hope Jillian will tell us a good boutique and hopefully there will be a sale, because I'm not taking the $5,000.

Have to choose who to give the penalty to.

Michelle gives the penalty pound to Vicky.

Vicky not surprised at all.

Without the one pound penalty on Vicky, Heba would have been below the yellow line.

Vicky and Coleen up for elimination.

It all comes down to Amy's vote again, says Vicky.

Once again, they will head straight to the elimination room and discuss it there. Vicky says Amy told her she could count on her; hopes she'll do the right thing. Renee tells us she hopes Amy sees that Vicky is a way bigger threat than Coleen. Heba is freaking out, that they cannot talk to Amy now and make SURE she understands.. Coleen is very worried even though Vicky is a way bigger threat, she knows there will be intense pressure on Amy to "vote with the team".

Michelle says her decision to put the pound against Vicky says volumes about Vicky's sucess here and that she knows this game better than anyone here. Says Coleen brings out the best in everybody, amazing, genuine. Heart breaks for her.

Coleen says everyone understands why she still wants to be here, for her dad. She has always followed him, wants to be here 100% before she leaves. She asks to be kept.

Vicky says she respects what black team says but she has 2 kids, works 60 hours a week, so little chance at home (hmm, couldn't she take another week off?), says you have to look at that. Says she wants to be here and wants everyone at the table to know that and stares hard at Amy.

Voting/Elimination

Michelle: Vicky
Renee: Vicky
Ed: Coleen
Heba: Coleen
Amy: Hard to see people leave every week, we are family. Um.. I've gotten to know these girls so much here, came down to in my head, the threat thing and they both are a huge threat to me and um.. Coleen.

(ed: RATS!! Why on EARTH would Amy be threatened by her more? Especially with Ed and Heba on her side for now.)

Coleen eliminated


Lots of tears and hugs and Coleen's light goes out.. Coleen says wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Jillian saved my life.

At Home

We see Coleen arrive at home.. OMG! Family is so happy. We see her dad in his cop uniform. He says you were missed. Her dad is so proud. Boyfriend lifts her off her feet.. he says WOW.

Went from size 22 to size 10 pants.. wow, looks super.. now her dad is running with her.

We see her shopping "off the rack".. Size 10 jeans. No limits now.


Preview: Next Tuesday, nothing says Thanksgiving like family.. looks like they get videos and even Vicky seems happy to see her kids.

And we see a mother and daughter fight to keep their family from being torn apart.

All comes down to one weigh in.

Colleen looked AMAZING! I will miss her bubbly self! Bob really needs to stay out of the game aspect of it all.
