Thank you so much for the Leno tip!! I am so glad to see Shay has continued to make progress.

DANNY did not go home.

Daniel went home..

Two very different people!!

No mention of makeovers, no tease, but that certainly doesn't mean there won't be makeovers.. seems like they always do have them.

It was sad seeing Dave. He didn't look good. But at least he knows that Daniel would help him if he ever decides to take help. And Daniel seemed to have the wisdom not to rag on Dave, just say he'd be there and like for him to also get to that place.

I don't see anyone quitting. And if Shay was allowed to go on Leno with Daniel,then I'm sure they won't be returning in any special way.

But who knows? As Bob and Jillian say, they never know what the producers will pull.

Jillian tweeted the other day from the next season and talked of a real tragedy occuring.. not sure what but she said that is why she is happy that she has more control of the new show she will be doing.

So they are down to six now.

I don't think they will do makeovers until they are down to 5 or 4.

And then how many will they send home to work out and then return for finals?

I think that they are having makeovers next week, previews showed Tim Gunn and Tabatha Coffey showing up and them getting haircuts, etc.

On Leno, Shay said that she works 6 days a week. 4 hours every night after work and 6 hours on Saturday.

Thanks, Kar! I'm sure I had totally glazed over by the time any previews might have run.. and I get all involved in charting and such too, so I'm pausing after each weigh-in. Six is lots of makeover but will be fun to see. Look forward to Liz getting a nice lift from one. Amanda and Rebecca, not so much, but I'm sure they will have fun.

I'm sure Bob and Jill will fret about the makeovers since they will want them to stay on the roll they got on with losing.. well, some of them, anyway.

You're welcome, Seamonkey. All I remember is Rudy fussing about losing his beard - it was a will he or won't he kind of thing. :-)

I also saw previews of makeovers. I couldn't believe Rudy said "that stays" referring to his beard. No...it needs to go Rudy for the all new you.

Karuuna stated:
I"m worried. I don't understand why they showed an update on Danny after he went home and how he continued to work out and lose weight - but there was no update on Shay. They only showed her homecoming party. They *always* show how they are doing.

Maybe she did really need to be there....


I thought that was odd as well, but I thought it was because they wanted to shock us at her big reveal at the finale, so I took it to mean she was doing well.

It sounds like she's lost another 50 lbs. re those who saw her on the Jay Leno show? That's great. I can't wait to see how she looks at the finale.

Seamonkey, I agree with you that Amanda whines a lot as well. I wouldn't have minded if she went home last night. I just wish Shay would stop putting herself in the victim category all the time. She seems to be confused as to whether it's okay to put herself first. It was like she was saying she did that for once and it turned the others against her. I didn't see it that way, but did see her automatically saying everything was harder for her and not being able to drop things. It sure would be nice if the show gave these contestants free psychological counseling for one year.

On Leno, Shay said she was now down 150 lbs, trying to get to 213 lbs by the final weigh-in. To be honest, she seems much happier and did look like she had lost more weight than when she left the ranch. She said that she has 6 trainers, 1 for each day. So, I am wondering if the Biggest Loser producers are providing that for her.

I worry about Shay because of her growing up with the crack addict mother (or whatever her drug of choice was) so I'm sure Shay DID feel she didn't come first.. she sure didn't with her mom.

Frankly I wish they would just keep them all on the ranch as they are eliminated.. or send them off to an elimination station that includes a 24 hour fitness .. but of course they all have to go home sometime and cope.

My hope is that Daniel and Shay kept in touch to help encourage each other since they went home the same night.

It did sound like Shay may be getting some counseling from her Leno comments (i.e. "I had to work on the reasons why I was eating").

Daniel is in People Mag talking about his eating binges that he still struggles with.

Regarding them voting her off, she did lose the 100 lbs the fastest. If her goal is 213 lbs by the final weigh-in, I think that would put her in contention for the money.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of Shay as a contender for the win because all of the winners so far have been at or near a goal weight. At 213, Shay would still have more weight to lose. But she did look good and happy on Leno.

I had mixed feelings about seeing David. He is really in bad shape. On one hand he is the picture of what happens when you don't do anything. On the other hand, it was nice that Daniel understands David has to want it for David.

I agree Sea about a loser's station. That would be awesome. Kinda like the Ponderosa. Your point that they have to deal at home sometime is also taken but some of these people have so much to lose, staying away from home a while longer would sure be a blessing. Considering many of them reveal their hearts and souls as well as expose themselves to public love or loathing, it is the least the producers could do.

And it is time to thank Seamonkey again for her unparalleled updates.

I would think that Shay is better off away from the drama and game play of the ranch - getting help - it seems to me that Jillian and Bob both try and keep in touch with their "teams"

and I certainly hope if the producers provide Shay with trainers, they provide the rest of the "at home players" the same...

Their workouts & trainers are provided by 24 Hr Fitness as part of their advertising budget. People want to be in the same gyms with celebrities.

It's insane how fast these people lose 100lbs. It's scary. It's also sad to see them get so dissapointed in losing 3lbs. Isn't 2-3lbs a week the HEALTHY way of losing weight?

Okay, is it wrong that Rebecca's journey at home story / results made me cry? I'm so happy for her!

So, who went home? I try to be as environmentally responsible as anyone but the "green" stuff got on my nerves and I changed channels. lol

Carlpsmom - Look up!

Angelic - yes, 3# per week is very awesome (and much healthier than some of these results). But these are very unusual circumstances with MONEY involved - and that is why so many have been unable to maintain their weight loss after the cameras and the money is not in the picture.

Anyone else watch Leno last night? Rebecca said she and Daniel are dating and in love.

I hated the argument between her and Rudy when she was voted out last night. He also had the argument with Shay last week, but I considered that almost entirely on Shay. After last night, I'm thinking less highly of Rudy.

When Rebecca screamed at seeing her sister, all I could think was get rid of this ham.

Not that I was thrilled with Liz' argument that she's old and it is her last chance.

I've kinda liked Rudy but his edit seems to be getting negative. Glad he gets to take that family to the spa. That family is in for some big changes when Daddy gets home.

I couldn't care less about Amanda. She is neutral for me.

So I guess I am hoping for Allen or Danny. I have liked them both. They work hard and they play the game without getting into the gutter so far.

slinky, I just watched that on youtube, I was shocked she's dating daniel! I recently saw a picture of him, maybe in people magazine with a picture of another girlfriend, this must of just happened. She looks AMAZING!!
