I agree, what's with Bob?? All I could think when they were all whining and blubbering is that all the people who have gone home would have come back, with ANY trainer, in a heartbeat (well maybe not Joelle or David).

I agree re: Bob as well. Seemed to me that the teams handled it fine until Bob showed up and completely created all that woohoo. I know the cameras probably upped the drama but it sure didn't look good for Bob. All I can think is that he is either starting to believe his own press a bit too much or he has really ticked off the editting staff. LOL

Bob is "in it to win it" and figured he had the best chance at being the trainer for the winner with the group he had. Then the merge came and totally upset his apple cart. With Mike, Aubrey and Mandi now on his team, his odds of having the winner went down considerably. I think Bob is far more about "the game" than we realize and that is why he was soooo upset.

Yikes - I think Bob was crying because he never has a "winner" win the whole thing - Jillian's team has somehow "won" the Bigggeest Looosah! So by splitting up, maybe Bob is thinking he's so gonna lose again - maybe its foreshadowing and someone from Bob's team may actually win this season!! Sea - I wasnt able to watch the whole thing, so thank you so much for taking the time to fill me in!! and at the beginning of the challenge - the up/down football drill you wrote We also see Kristin (Purple), Mandi (Yellow), Mike (Brown) and I'm sure no one is surprised that Shannon is competing for Green. oh never mind - I skimmed at first and thought you wrote Shannon in more than one place - I now know from reading closer its Tara... again - Thanks Sea!!

Bob did not look good last night. Given a choice I would want Jillian over Bob because even though she's tough she really works on the inside of her contestants as well as the outside. Maybe it's because her mother is a therapist but Jillian seems to understand the connection. What Bob was doing last night was perpetuating a co-dependency that his team needs HIM. That kind of dependency will lead them right back to old patterns when they are no longer on the ranch. I like Bob but it's sad that he's let his 'in it to win it' attitude take over what he's really there to do; help these people.

Bob is thinking he's so gonna lose again - maybe its foreshadowing and someone from Bob's team may actually win this season!! This is my thoughts exactly!!!! They are focusing waaay too much on Bob this season and hardly on Jillian. They switch it up every season and every season the trainers have that "OMG I can't believe it!!!" look on their face. Bob is just a little bit too much for me this season. I am rooting for Jillian's team all the way. He did not say, well maybe I can do somethign to help these new members of my team, since they ALL need to lose weight. He just wants to win and I bet he will. I have to say I like Tara's go for the gusto attitude- I am glad they did not give up on the bike challenge. yay for Sione!

The thing is that neither of them can actually "lose" this season at this point because the winner will have been trained by both trainers (similar to Ali). Who can say whose training was more important?

Good point Jimmer. Tara is in trouble right now. If her team loses and she doesn't win immunity with the highest weight loss, she is clearly the biggest threat. She is also the biggest asset for a team so it remains to be seen what the former Bob team members will do. That said, I think it is unlikely Jillian's team will lose this week.

Either trainer can still 'win' or 'lose' this season. But only if the winner is either Tara, Laura, Kristin, Kathy, or Ron. They are the ones who kept their original trainers. I'm over Bob.

Oh good point. I forgot about the ones that didn't switch. I was focusing on the theory that Bob was upset because his former team members that went to Jillian's team might give her the win.

What got me the most with Bob last night was not the fact that he killed any kind of focus or determination that the new black team had. It was not so bad until Bob got up in their face, and brought them all down to his pity party. Instead of building them up and letting them know it was going to be OK, he did everything but point at them and say "You're gonna lose now!" For a split second I thought he was doing it on purpose to throw their games off now that he was not responsible for them anymore (yea, he has gotten so bad in my eyes that I am actually thinking that), but then he went in there and started whining to Kristin, who was trying to work out. OMG, suck it up! He took all his negative energy and threw it around all over the place. I also expected the awful reaction from Shannon, but Filipe and Sione really threw me off a bit. Kinda turned me off a little to them. "I'd rather be sent home." WTH?

So a trainer is good only if he has the trainee from Day One? Get over yourself Bob, I luv ya but you should have shown some confidence in yourself that you can take anybody and turn them into a superstar. How can you help others if your knee deep in your own pity pot?

i think that bob has really gotten into their brains. this is sooooo mentally unhealthy for people who need guidance. the show has become so much about bob...or bob has made it that way. i wonder if the editing is purposeful in that bob might have taken this behaviour too far and the producers are thinking of replacing him. he's been shown to be way-over-the-top-manipulative this entire season.

Bob is using the addictive nature of their personalities to make them co-dependent with him. The only purpose is to make himself feel necessary in their lives. Jillian was the exact opposite when she said, "It's not my body." She's there to help them and doesn't have a sick need to make them need her.

Aww, poor Bob if he read the internet he would cry even more. Perhaps there were other things going on in his life and he just focused all the emotions onto the switch up? Maybe a lot of it is in the editing because I found it hard to believe that he was basically crying to Kristen when she was working out. Maybe she brought it up and we didn't get to see that part. I don't know but I have always liked Bob and I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt.

well my DVR said it was recording BL, but it recorded Who Wants to be a Millionaire instead, even though the info shows BL. Really irked me! Thanks for the play-by-play, so I know where we are tonight! Add me to the likes Tara group. Her partner was really annoying and not much motivated early on in the game. She is getting better lately. Thank God there is no Joelle there. She seemed to have no feelings at all. She was the "beige-est" person I have ever seen on BL and I don't know how Bob restrained himself from slapping her upside the head. I was ready to throw a slipper at the tv! Of course, the person I have liked the least over all the groups ever was Vickie!! And I thought I'd like her a lot her being a nurse.

I loved Jillian's attitude about the switch up and how she promoted the positive to her new team. They really are getting the best possible scenario by being able to learn exercises and eating tips from both trainers. That should serve them well down the road when they are on their own and developing their own diets and workout routines.

Because they see him as a threat....stupid...yes, but right now they should be thinking about the team, and unfortunately Ron is the weak link, and I think he should have been the one to go. With Ron, they may loose every week now and I guess it will serve them right.

Yep and the former Bob team will happily pick off Aubrey and Mandi. Duh voting for Kristen. Can you say new mortal enemy? If the former Jillian team had voted as a block at least it would have went to a tie. Whatever. This team is going down in flames along with their trainer. Sheesh. ETA they should have gone against one of the yellows. They could have gotten rid of a weaker link and still maintained majority control.

But, they can always vote Ron out. So, get rid of a threat first.

Since the weigh-ins are as a team, I don't understand getting rid of Dane. I agree with him that the Ron is playing the game all the way and he has been and still is, manipulating these people. I, too, wish the former Yellow Team had voted for Ron as a block, as they would have had an ally in Dane if he stayed. For some reason, I just can't take to Kristin and I don't know exactly why. I feel the Blue Team just signed themselves up for failure every week by keeping Ron over Dane. Ron isn't going to help them get the numbers to beat the Black Team..duh!

About Dane's marathon let's just say that things aren't always as they appear.
