i'm not the least bit surprised. Was watching online and right away we called it, the husband seemed rather hostile at the restuarant and didnt give two hoots about his wife.

It was awkward and at the end of the show we see Dina walking with a new guy and her son. I wasnt sure if that was her trainer or her new guy.

That was really lame, so I'm okay with her being gone.

Slinky..I understood that one better after seein the box she jumped on at the gym. She had a lot of weight to pull up on that little sq. box. I don't understand why is was so very small compared to the one @ the gym she is now going to.

As a person with a shattered ankle, I might not be doing that one as well. Imagine if she landed on the corner of that little square; fell off and hurt one of her ankles or some other body part. I'm glad she's conquered it at home, but maybe they should get a bigger one for the peeps @ the Biggest Loser gym.

Sunshyne, I was wondering about the guy as well. I think it was her trainer and not a boyfriend type relationship.

I also cringe at the jump on the box routine they love so well on BL.

I lived for quite a few years with no ACL in one knee, before I finally got surgery, but even years post surgery, sorry, but my body still guards me from jumping like that.

I would think that sort of exercise would be terribly hard on the joints and all the more so for anyone who is overweight. They give these people an awful pounding on the show and I'm not sure that is such a great example. I also think that some of their diet expectations are unrealistic from the point of view of maintaining that sort of restriction as an ongoing lifestyle.

I guess with some of the techniques the idea is that many of these people are in grave condition and need to lose fast, but I still don't get some of the exercise that seems to overstress certain joints.. they jumping and I so often see them pushing their legs out straight with huge amounts of weight.. if their knee joint is like mine, and I mean the good knee, you can actually cause the joint to go backward and that is NOT good. I've been taught never ever to completely straighten out the legs in that way.

which is why we see so many of the contestants wearing braces and supports.

I have no doubt that each and every season we have a couple of people have a joint become seriously injured and it will bother them for life.

Personally, I find the exercise that we are shown on tv is WAY the stinking ridiculous for anyone so grossly obese. I would think the first days should be spent in the Pool building up resistance and confidence. This helps cushion the joints and prevents the Terrible falldowns we always see the first week.

Danny fell a couple of times and the only concern Jillian had was to Scream DEAD dad in his face.

I dont know. I watch the show but cringe at the technique (or lack thereof) in the exercises.

I know from personal experience that holding a weight or Pulling a weight in the wrong position can cause severe unneccessary pain and inflammation in some joints.

oh and I Hate jumping and sympathized with Dina. My fear of falling is higher than the need to submit to the trainer.

I had a bad fall off a Gym springboard/ horse combination in school. The teacher was hollaring and browbeating people and I wouldnt do it. She demanded, in jillianlike fashion, that I had to try and she would be there to catch me. Instead I ended up hanging with my arm thru one of th loops of the horse.

hurt my wrist pretty badly.

So that is WHY i detest the hollaring at the contestants and browbeating. Injuries happen and are shrugged off by the trainers.

me and my family HAte jillian's pseudo counselling sessions. She pokes and prods until she gets them to rip off the scab and start mentally bleeding.

it truly seems like a "good tv moment"
Replacing Exercise with Food is NOT dealing with the issue. I wish we knew if these people got REAL counselling as part of their Ranch Experience.

Did some posts get removed from this thread? I could have sworn I ranted last night about the black team. Hmmm.

Sunshyne, I am so with you re Jillian's pseudo counselling sessions. This show needs a psychologist to help the contestants with their emotional baggage as they lose weight. Jillian is not a psychologist. She talks too much and her peeps don't lose the weight. I couldn't help but wonder if getting upset with her might change their metabolism or something.

I'm missing one too, from today.. I keep thinking I must have done something wonky when I created the game subthread, but I don't know how..

I even posted a link to a little story about Abby and that she is down to 165 lb!

Blue team sorry that Dina was sent home. Amanda says she needed friends on her team who would be by her side. (Daniel, Shay, Abby).

Liz mocks them for acting teary-eyed. They knew what they would do. Liz hopes that Danny will be immune again and then they will know what difficult is.

Morning.. time for a Challenge. Alli there, frames set up, Rudy could set a BL record for hitting 100 pounds lost, might break Dane's record in seven weeks.

This week they go head to head with toughest competition yet: a member of the opposite team. Person with most points wins and the team with fewer points has to send someone home.

Face Off Week. Shay says she remembers how tough it was last season. Shay says bring it; I'm planning to kill it.

Whoever wins this week's pop challenge, wins the right to choose who goes up against each other.

First team to 500 points.. have to duck under a bar, then reach up and touch a target, back under, another target. One player at a time, switch whenever, but each player gets only one turn.

Abby in her first challenge, as is Stacey. Liz wants to win, others do to of course.

Abby up for black, Stacey up for blue. Abby out in front.. at 20 touches, Abby drops out. Blue team has more members. Shay up now.

They have to go to 500. Tracey says she is doing 100, for sure. Shay gets black team to 100 first. She stops at 104. Danny up now vs Allen.

Allen wants to get a lead for blue. Closing up gap on Danny. Blue ahead now. 131 - 130

Danny struggling (he's tall and harder for him to duck).

Blue 15 ahead. Amanda in for black. Allen still up for blue. Abby wants to turn it around for Black. Liz in for Blue now.

Amanda making progress and Liz falls, Amanda trying to catch up. Liz tells us Blue had it so she opted out. Rudy in for Blue, going fast.

Amanda still going strong. Rudy says hard to bend over (he's tall) Amanda closing in on the Blue lead.

At 350, Amanda out, Daniel in for Black. Daniel says we are going to win this.

Rudy is slowing. Rebecca is worried, she will be up next (she's been smack talking all along to us about Blue winning).

Rudy leaves at 400.. they are within a point. Rebecca moving fast, Daniel still up and last for Black. Blue slightly ahead. Daniel feels he let the team down at the weigh in, wants to prove himself. Rebecca moving faster.

Blue team wins ultimate power. Rebecca crows to us and of course once again, Tracey is on the power side. Allen says we deserved it.

Daniel finishes anyway. He's frustrated with himself. Shay is tired of losing challenges.

(ed. Hmm, maybe y'all should have kept Dina, who would have been smaller/faster for this challenge.)

Tracey talks about how important it is to set up the challenges so Blue can win. Rebecca says it isn't about the weigh in but beating them.

The face offs:

Rebecca 232 lb lost 16.9% vs Amanda 218 lb lost 12.8%

Amanda says a rivalry, Rebecca hates that I beat her in last weigh in. Rebecca smack talks.

Tracey 202 lb 15.1% loss vs Abby 204 lb loss 17.4%

Tracey says this is my week; I'm in the gym. Abby just says Tracey is crazy.

Allen 270 lb loss 16.9% Danny 357 lb loss 17.0%

Danny is confident. Allen smack talks.

Rudy 355 lb 19.7% loss vs Shay 411 lb 13.7% loss

Shay is worried, Rudy has been consistent and going after his huge goal.

Liz 228 lb 14.6% loss vs Daniel 277 lb 11.2%

Liz says not much chance but there could be a miracle.

Shay says courage and heart might win out. Rebecca talks about how it will go. Tracey will spend every waking moment in the gym and pool.

Bob works his team in the pool. Wants to know who will get the second win.

Jillian works Black team hard in the gym.

Bob encourages his team to envision the other person in their face off.

Jillian worried about Shay vs Rudy. Amanda is whining and complaining to Jillian. Jillian explains how she brings out the issues so that she can then create a safe place for them to deal with the issues and then help the succeed, in a safe environment and not out in public.

Amanda whines about the cameras and Jillian.

Amanda cannot take the pressure, she says. She melts down and leaves the gym.

Baseball Challenge: They have jerseys with number of pounds lost and go to a stadium. Danny says his number was 73 previously too.

The field is littered with baseballs. They also see huge photos of them as they came to the ranch.

Face off in today's challenge. Someone special, Derek Jeter shows up on a screen. Of course we have to hear Tracey talk about it.

He pep talks them.. but not in person. Pep talks Daniel, and the Black Team.

2535 balls on field.. grab balls and throw at opposing target.. when hit 316 times, that person is out. (all these stats have to do with Jeter records.

The prize, Curtis Stone personally cooks for that team? And they get a 2 pound advantage, which can be split up on a team or for one person.

Abby cannot play, so Blue sits Tracey out.

They run down baseballs.. each has a mitt for collecting them.

Amanda and Abby targeting each other. Daniel also hitting Allen. Shay joins in, says they want to get Allen out, then Rebecca.

Whole black team firing at Allen.

Allen out of competition.

Rebecca working to knock Amanda out.

Amanda out for Black.

Black working on Rebecca.

30 minutes in.

Alli says Blue team has clear advantage in weigh in.

Rebecca out for Blue.

Daniel collecting balls but is out

Shay and Danny left to hold onto lead.

Liz tells us they need that advantage.

Blue smack talking Shay, she's saying so what.. going for Rudy.

Shay takes Rudy out.

Liz left to compete with Shay and Danny. She must take Danny out before they can take her out.

Shay is still in it..

Liz is out and Black team celebrates their first team win.

They win lunch made by Curtis Stone and a 2 pound advantage.

Black team is stoked. Blue, not so much.

Curtis Stone meets Black team and pimps Jennie-O turkey meat. Mediterranean burger.

Back in the gym, Jillian working Abby, gives her a pep talk. Abby has to live again and have a purpose after she lost everyone. Touching talk with Jillian.

Amanda also talks to Jillian.

Last Chance Workout

Bob has Allen jumping on those stands. He goes up 3 ft, taunts Danny. Bob and Jillian encourage them to beat their face off..

Jillian talks to Shay about being the child of a heroin addict. Shay vents and cries. Jill takes her to work on that stuff. Tells Shay to forgive herself for all that wasn't her fault.

Weigh in

Talk of rivalry. Blue team picked the face offs but Black got the two pound advantage.

Alli bills the face offs: The Main Event: facing off tonight

Rebecca vs Amanda in a battle of best friends

Tracey vs Abby the two lightest women in a dead even match

Danny vs Allen the heavyweight vs the featherweight

Liz vs Daniel the grandma vs the kid

Rudy vs Shay the record chaser vs the heaviest contestant ever

Black team gives the two pound advantage to Amanda.

Amanda and Rebecca to the scales.

Amanda drops from 218 to 214, four pound loss 1.83%

Jillian shakes her head. Amanda claims it was an off week. Jillian shakes her head again. With the two pound advantage her official % is 2.75.

Rebecca must lose more than six pounds to have the win.

And so much for the advantage, wasted on Amanda. Rebecca loses 9 pounds, dropping to 223. 3.88%

Blue team 1 point.

Danny says they have to win 3 of four matches now and they threw their advantage out the window.

Abby vs Tracey. Abby feels so confident.

Abby loses 3 pounds, down to 201. 1.47% Abby is dumbfounded. Did everything asked of her and more.

Tracey needs to lose more than 2 pounds. She loses 5 pounds and grins like a shark; breaks the 200 pound barrier, down to 197 2.48*. Wins face off. Amanda has a mocking confessional, what a surprise.

Blue has 2 points. Just needs 1 more to send home a black team member.

Danny vs Allen now. Danny says he has to win this match. Has to drop double digits.

Danny drops 12 pounds, down to 345. 3.36%

Allen must lose more than 9 pounds to win. He drops 8 pounds, down to 362. 2.96%

Blue team 2 vs Black team 1

Danny relieved for now. Still alive.

Black needs to win both face offs.

Daniel is confident since he gained a pound last week and worked hard.

Daniel vs Liz

Daniel loses 5 pounds and is shocked. He's down to 272. 1.81 %

Liz says you have to be kidding me.. all week heard numbers like 15. He doesn't get it. Jillian says Daniel is on the same program as Danny and he loses 4 pounds in two weeks and the other one loses 27. Something is wrong. (well Danny is larger and presumably has more fat to lose?)

Liz up now. She must lose more than 4 pounds to win face off and for Blue team to win .. of course we go to commercial with shocked looks. She loses 7 pounds, down to 221. 3.07%

Blue team 3 vs Black team 1

Blue team wins weigh in


One more face off and immunity on the line. Shay must lose more than 13 pounds to win immunity, otherwise Danny is immune.

(ed, I keep thinking how Dina would have helped Black team to win the choice of face offs and probably helped more than Daniel in the weigh in too)

Shay and Rudy up to weigh in. Danny says he is the odd man out on the Black team, so he hopes he will be immune.

Shay wanted to get below 400, but now must lose 14.

Shay loses 9 pounds, meeting neither goal. She cries. She just wanted to break 400 and for her team to be safe.

New weight 402. 2.19% loss

If Rudy lost 13 pounds he'd beat the record and lose 100 pounds in 7 weeks (Dane did it in 8 weeks). Dane is there to see if his record is broken. Dane hugs Jillian. Has a triathlon in the morning with a total of 12 former contestants. Bob is so proud, says he hasn't done a triathlon.

Rudy loses 14 pounds!! Down to 341. 3.94% oh and by the way, he also wins his face off.

Lots of celebration ensues.

Jillian hugs Abby.. Danny is immune. Liz is elated that Danny has immunity. They will send one of their own home. This week there will be some real tears; they won't have to fake 'em

Deliberation:
Daniel says he doesn't know what happened. Abby says Daniel needs to be there, etc.. basically falling on her sword. Shay says you have to think of what is best for you. Danny says can't put everybody first. Abby says her journey was about opening up and loving people again, gotten the kick start of a lifetime. I love y'all, I'll be find. She cries, she knows who she is. She is soaring and will fly home. all are crying. Danny says you have to fight for yourself. Shay says Abby is the most giving and loving, a mother's love. I want her to stay. Danny says use your heart.

Daniel tells us Abby is just learning and I know I'd be okay. What do you do?

Voting:

Abby says we are still in shock, losing weigh in.. comes down to Amanda, Shay, Daniel or me going home. I have asked them to honor my wishes. Danny says Abby asked to write her name down but Daniel has had two seasons. I hope Abby gets to stay.

Alli points out second week in a row.

Abby votes for Amanda because she didn't think she'd get any other votes.

Shay is weeping, learned so much for Abby, she just loved me, she's the mom I wanted and didn't have. You are wonderful, living, alive. They hug and weep. Shay votes for Abby, says I minded like she told me to.

Amanda 1, Abby 1

Amanda doesn't know if she is making the right choice. Votes for Abby

Amanda 1, Abby 2

One more vote.

Danny says one person is farther along.. voted for Daniel.

Amanda 1, Abby 2, Daniel 1

Daniel says Amanda said to send her home. Votes for Abby.

Abby will go home. Says she and her husband dreamed big dreams. We see the pictures of her kids and husband.. she will have new dreams again.

Proved to herself that she is the things she wants to be. Nothing she tried was working, but came here and it is working.

Alli says it isn't over yet; we will see you at the finale.

Abby and Shay hug, Abby and Amanda, Abby and Daniel,

I'm ready to fly again!

OK, I'm crying..

We see Amanda going home, has a lot of friends. She gets a police escort home, huge outdoor homecoming! Hugged by parents and friends. There's happiness to be had, she tells us.

Says she has started dreaming again, sees helping others who are hurting. We see her speaking to a huge crowd about hope.

She's looking good and has lost 80 pounds.

Cricket, I think it was you who posted about Daniel and how the black team was just not thinking long term.. I certainly agree. I honestly think if Dina had been there instead of Daniel they would have won the right to set up the pairings and the lunch with the chef and they probably would have done better in the weigh in too.

I disagree about Jillian - she CONSISTENTLY does better at the weigh in's (her team that is). Of all the Seasons that she's been on, it's been one of HER team members that have been TBL. The only season one of Bob's has won was the Season that it was just him and Kim as the trainers.

I love both Bob and Jillian - and I don't know that Jillian is for everyone, but I think her techniques work for those that are receptive to them.

Yes, Seamonkey. I can't believe they keep getting rid of better people who can prevent them from having to vote off peeps to protect Daniel every week. They def. would have done better in the weigh-in, because Daniel just hasn't been pulling his percentage.

As I stated before, I don't like cutthroat, but this year, these people forget it's a game and there is money involved. They keep volunteering to go home. It's ridiculous. Someone needs to remind them this is also a game and the way to win is to keep those who lose the most weight and can win the comps at this time.

As much as I dislike Tracey, at least she is playing the game to win. It bugs me when people volunteer to go home. No one is more deserving than anyone else and they are basing their decisions on emotion rather than strategy. Good for Danny for voting for Daniel to go. I hope he goes far in this game.

I love Jillian but she is not a psychologist and I too dislike that aspect of her. I agree to get that heavy there are underlying issues. But Jillian is not qualified to treat those issues.

I was a Daniel fan but I am quickly growing tired of him. It never is a good idea to bring these people back on these shows.

I wish Abby would not have fallen on the sword.

As for jumping on the box, I have cringed watching that from day one. I have poor depth perception and doubt very much I could do that. In fact, I am horrible with small heights like stairs and step stools.

I am pretty bored this season. I hope they go to individual pretty soon.

I think Jillian is as qualified as any peer counselor, or more, since she is trained in exercise and nutrition; she's been overweight herself and had to deal with it.

I agree about Daniel; somehow his being brought back was billed as "he is so special and deserving" and that he then was "saving" Shay. But at what price for other people there? Jillian is correct, IF he is following the same regime as Danny, something doesn't add up.

I also wished Abby wouldn't offer herself up, but I suppose with Danny being immune (since it was crystal clear that they would have stupidly sent home their hardest worker with lots to lose to keep their "group" together).
And she knew that Daniel and Shay would vote together and Abby actually was the bottom of the list for losing this week. I just wish she hadn't even opened the door, but I think she saw the writing on the wall.

I just HOPE that if they are to lose again, Danny manages to be immune again..

There was just something sly about the look on Daniels face when he said he couldn't understand why he wasn't loosing weight. He is probably eating at night...there have been other contestants that raided the kitchen at night and even left to go get something. He is still a teenager and teen age boys seem to be ravenous 24 hours a day. Just a feeling/hunch I have.

Hmmm, Supergranny. Perhaps they should follow Daniel @ night or put a camera in the refrigerator.
