Miggy says she thought she was going home.. in her head, home already, but not sure she wanted to stay even though they had discussed that. Couldn't bear not having her daughter there with her. Hardest moment of all, when she walked into the room and none of her things were there, bed empty, lost half of me. We hear Miggy weeping. 2::51am We hear talk on walkie talkie about meeting someone at the gate. Then we see people waking up for the day, walking up their reluctant partners. We see Alli come into the house and meeting them in the living room. She tells them Miggy is at the hospital. She wasn't feeling well and was taken away with stomach pains. She's having tests but will be alright. All others told to meet Alli at the pool, where she tells them they have been there a month. And one day, they will have to leave the campus. Real world challenges coming here to face you, today. Black limos arrive, with members of the Blue team: Cherita and Victoria, mom and daughter and the Yellow team, O'Neal and Sunshine, father and daughter! Yes!! Other teams are worried. Viewers like me are thrilled! Warm greetings from Alli.. She takes us back in time when these two teams were sent home for a month. Time to hit the gym and get on that scale The two teams see Bob and Jillian who will give them a Last Chance Workout before they weigh in. Oh, this is a surprise for these four and they worry about getting their butts whupped, as O'Neal tells us. Bob wants them to have the rite of passage of Last Chance Workout. Jillian says it isn't about being on BL but wanting your LIFE. Well, this is a more intense workout than they've been doing at home.. O'Neal is pleased to be able to perform at this level, he says. Bob says get ready, get rested and then time to weigh in. So.. all the teams join the blue and yellow teams, who have perhaps rested but definitely showered and are now wearing dry outfits. Miggy is still MIA. Who will be staying on the ranch??? The team with the highest % of weight loss will earn their place back on campus, with TWO WEEKS' IMMUNITY, but it won't be easy, because the team with immunity will also have the ONLY VOTE for eviction. This causes Bob's mouth to fall open and causes great amounts of squirmage among the teams, perhaps more among those who felt they had the lion's share of allies.. hmm.. but, but, they don't know us, don't know who has been working hard. Jillian says you just never know what is coming. The team who loses this weigh-in will go home. Blue team is up first. Vicky wants to show America what she can do. O'Neal says they look smaller to me. Cherita dropped from 277 to 253, losing 24 pounds and Victoria dropped from 358 to 319, a loss of 39 pounds. Total loss: 63 pounds. 9.92% loss. O'Neal and Bob both say WOW. Others wildly clap, but grins.. I suspect they all hope to ingratiate themselves to whichever team is to return, given their potential power. Alli points out that the average weight loss on campus is 45 pounds and Victoria came pretty close to that working out at home. Victoria says she's never been successful, but now she knows she can do it. Her mom cries and hugs her "You did so good! I'm proud of you!" Aww.. I <heart> these two. Jillian is so proud of them! Alli tells Yellow team that in order to stay on the ranch they must lost more than 65 pounds. O'Neal says that is like Mt Everest. Sunshine started at 275, O'Neal at 389. And they blow the other team out of the water with losses of 25 by Sunshine (275, down to 250) and 51 by O'Neal (from 389 down to 338). Total loss 76 pounds, 11.45%. Ah well, I had picked blue team in the game and did want them to come back, but with these two teams it really was a win win, since both are very likeable. Wish they could both come back, and replace Miggy and the Red team.. but I'm not a producer, now, am I? So..Yellow team is BACK.. (barring something unforeseen at this point in the show) and IMMUNE and has some power too. Alli welcomes them back and asks O'Neal how he did it. He says bad knee and all he wasn't going to let that bike defeat him. Then he says he wishes Victoria could take his place because she's a young black kid that needs this ranch as much as I do. He talks of obesity and diabetes running rampant in the black community. Now I have not just the black community but I have an obese community that I would like to help when I help myself. Lots of clapping in the room. Cherita says you guys did a magnificent job at home and you showed America that we can do it at home, so we are going to continue our journey at home and you are going to continue your journey here and we are SO proud of you. Sunshine cries and says thank you. O'Neal and Sunshine celebrate to us.. We BACK and we're not going anywhere for the longest time. Blue team leaves again. Victoria says not again,but we will see results at home. Chenita agrees, they created a Ranch at home. Yellow teal is greeted happily (lol.. of course there will be kissing up while they have the power. So, let the workouts begin. Bob and Jill are pulling out the stops, working them hard. O'Neal is walking around, saying what the hell??? Everyone is so competitive. Stephanie worries that they don't know anyone and they have the power. Bob working Melissa hard. We AGAIN hear Melissa gripe about Bob saying she lied, complete with clips. Bob wants to put this behind them. She has to believe she can succeed. Melissa weeps.. Bob says yep, it is hard. He tells her this will make her stronger, what this house is all about, pushing outside of your comfort zone, finding all new limits. He knows she can do anything. Bob tells her she lost 11 pounds, immune, so she isn't playing the game, gained his respect. They hug .. he says he will push her harder than she has ever been pushed. She weeps more. Jillian works with Daris.. says he has obvious self-esteem issues, not pushing himself. She wants him to hit his burn. He tells us he has been having trouble getting his calorie burn. He admits to Jill he must not be working as much as the others. He just accepted being the fat funny guy. Jillian sits and talks with him. They talk of the funny fat guy who has lost 51 pounds, what does that take? Courage, pride confidence. Maybe he can be the guy who lost 51 pounds, not the funny fat guy. Bob talks to yellow team about how it is in the house. Black team is there too.. we sense a product placement coming on fast. Sunshine likes stew, comfort food. Bob suggests chili with Jennie-O ground turkey. Every calorie counts, says Bob, as he prepares the turkey chili. Sunshine is comforted. Time for a challenge up on the hill Alli meets them.. it is Super Bowl week (RATS! I missed that one too? Should have realized it is Super Bowl week and there will likely be uniform like outfits. They have to hit a tackling dummy 1000 times and the winner wins immunity. Team that comes in last receives a two pound penalty. John is really worried, being a team of 1. Each team chooses one teammate to represent them. Hmm. maybe I'm okay.. no special jerseys, just helmets, as the get started. We have Sunshine for Yellow team, Daris for Orange, Andrea for black, Lance for Red, Sherry(!) for Pink, Sam for Gray Of course Mike for White, Stephanie for Purple, John for Brown. Miggy is still MIA. They aren't exactly hitting the dummies, just touching/pushing them.. they have two each on a swivel. Red and Gray doing best, but then White is pulling up.. Michael is tied with Red.. he's tall and don't walking between the dummies. He's catching up to Gray. Sam is moving several steps between the dummies. Koli yelling to Sam. They say so much effort, so winning is important. Pink in last, Sunshine staying ahead of Pink. Gray vs White and Red... Mike is definitely working smarter. And he pulls into the lead at 900.. Only 100 to go. Sam moving faster, picking up the pace.. can he catch up? Michael wins immunity. His mom would be so proud and yep he says "I did it, Mom." LOL.. Koli admits that winning is everything and he's a sore loser. Other teams work to hit 1000 with Sherry being in last (why on earth didn't the younger one do this task?) Seems like the stations were the same size, which certainly favored tall (Mike) and young/active .. Nighttime and Miggy returns. She tells us she was found to be suffering from appendicitis and had surgery. They took out the appendix and a mass/cyst. She says Dr Huizenga says all she can do is walk, but she is determined to walk! 5:31am. We see Michael and Miggy walking in the dark.. she plans to walk 20 miles. Mike doesn't want Miggy to go home. He has immunity but if she falls below the yellow line, hard for him to stay. Guess he's adopted Miggy as his mom. We see Stephanie and Sam raiding the kitchen to make yoplait smoothies. Bob bolts into the room to participate in this product placement. He's gleeful. Miggy meets with Dr H. Post-op day number 2. She has some discomfort. She tells him she walked 13 miles the day after surgery. He is amazed. She wants to stay. Too much to lose if she goes home. Doesn't want to die that way. He will let her stay. She has to do three things different. Eat a bit more. Don't jiggle the areas: no major bending, sit-ups, back off when she feels pain. They poured saltwater into her during surgery. She has an additional 8-9 pounds of saltwater in her system. Cannot suck that out. Miggy cries out a little bit of the saltwater; She feels her chances are low. Bob and Jillian join them in the gym and are surprised to hear that Mike won immunity. Jillian says SHUT UP! Then they hear of the two pound disadvantage to pink team. O'Neal is announcing it all. They see Miggy and she tells of her surgery. Miggy says that is why she was full of fluid and lost her daughter at the weigh in. She is on a treadmill, crying. Bob is really worried that she won't have the will to keep fighting. (ed. In the past when someone was hospitalized, they didn't have to weigh in.. why on earth didn't they keep Miggy inpatient a bit longer?) John is really nervous doing sprints with the others for the first time. Bob says he thinks John will blow up the scale this week. Bob says strange, white team is immune, green team just out of surgery, pink team with penalty. (He sounds like they are "his" teams?) Last Chance Workout Jillian shouting, Bob shouting.. Ashley is being a brat, not really working out, not feeling it (is that why she made her mom compete for immunity?) Jillian tells Ashley she might go home not getting it.. (ed.. uh yeah, bet mom would go home) Jillian tries to get into Ashley's head. She says The fat girl that lost her father to cancer.. unresolved issues. Jillian takes Ashley outside.. Evidently she drank, smoked and ate over her dad issues. Ashley says he gave her crap over her size. She didn't come home when he was dying. Then she came home and he couldn't talk and died the next day. Jillian asks her to tell him what she would have said to him. Running for five minutes. Stephanie is being a real cheerleader for that group..women, Michael. Sunshine had been skeptical, says she hasn't done that at home yet. Stepahnie encourages her. Bob suddenly has a yoga session with them to calm their minds. Melissa is pumped. Sunshine too. O'Neal and Sunshine talk about their responsibility, have to be tougher, he tells her. Don't have to feel bad. He says his decision will affect his ability to stay on this ranch. We may have to roll over or crush somebody. Wants one of them to stand on that stage with that confetti coming down. Weigh in They all feel this is the strangest, scariest weigh in. Tough, crucial, important.. Miggy walked 13 miles, 18 miles, 14 miles. Will never give up. Will walk to Puerto Rico. Team below yellow line is up. If a one person team is low, that person goes home. Yellow team is up first. They are immune. They lose 5 more pounds each, total of 10. 1.70%. Sunshine is down to 245; O'Neal down to 333. O'Neal wants Sunshine to have a better week and he only wants to pull double digits from now on. Congratulations, O'Neal. (two Good Jobs) Michael also has immunity, so he will weigh in now. He feels more comfortable he says. If he loses 30 pounds in the next two weeks he will set a new record for 100 pounds. Michael pulls a 13 pound loss down from 456 to 443 (this means he'll need to lose 17 next week to make the record). His % is 2.85. Congratulations (2) and Good Job Now begins the official weigh in. Pink team, with 2 pound disadvantage, is up now. Ashley's heart is pounding out of control. They lose 15 pounds. Ashley down 9 pounds to 317 and Sherry down 6 pounds to 180. 2.93% Ah but there is the two pound advantage which takes the % down to 2.54. Ashley is proud of 9 pounds. Alli puts them on the board at 2.54%. She does not congratulate them or even say good job. Red team is up next. Melissa is flirting with under 200. They need to lose more than 13 pounds to be safe now. They only lose 9 pounds, so will have to sweat it out. Melissa does break the 200 barrier, down from 203 to 198, 5 pounds, while Lance loses only 4 pounds, down to 314 from 318. 1.73% Alli congratulates (3) Melissa on being below 200. She says something about that being okay and she tells us she was ecstatic about being under 200. Bob and Jillian aren't happy, we can tell. Melissa tells us she is disappointed in LANCE. ICK. Alli congratulates (4) Pink team for being safe now. Next up is Orange team. Cheryl tells us Daris has worked hard.. she is dreading getting up with him this week. They need to lose more than 8 pounds to be ahead of red team. Cheryl drops 3 pounds down from 197 to 194. Daris loses 12 pounds, down from 295 to 283. Total of 15 pounds and Orange team is safe. 3.05% Bob is happy. Daris gets congratulations (5)from Alli. and then she congratulates(6) them again. And still another time Alli congratulates (7) Orange Team. Tells Red team they are still in danger with 5 teams to weigh in. Up now, Stephanie, purple team. If she falls below the line, she's toast. She must lose more than 3 pounds to be safe. She is happy to lose 5 pounds, down from 230 to 225. 2.17%. She is safe for another week. All is well in Tc99's world Alli congratulates (8) And then she congratulates (9) her yet again! Gray team is up and of course want to do well.. They need to lose more than 11 pounds to be ahead of red team. They do it! A total of 16 pounds. Sam loses 10, from 320 to 310. Koli down 6, from 341 to 335. 2.42% Sam says he crushed the 318 barrier. Koli and Bob agree he should have lost 12 pounds with the work he put in. Alli tells them how they are safe and congratulates (10) them. Black, Brown and Green to go.. Can Miggy overcome all that saline solution in her belly and keep the red team at bay? Alli points out that yellow team will vote off one member of the bottom team. O'Neal looks over at red team and talks of voting to protect himself vs who someone asks him to vote off. Black team is up now. Darrell talks of his knees, not sure he hit his burn. They need to lose more than 10 pounds. And indeed they do. Drea shed 5 pounds, down from 267 to 262 and Darrell and his dragging knees lost 8 pounds, from 351 to 343. 13 pounds gives them a 2.10% and keeps them safe and above red team. Drea isn't happy with her loss, says she did more this week, lost the say. Bob and Jillian encourage her; she is still here. Alli just thanks them, so far. She announced their % and they then get their congratulations (11) Lance says his heart kept sinking... (but remember Miggy and all that saline..) Time for Miggy to go up.. tough week and without Migdalia. She says this is for her. She never stopped so she will be happy. She must lose more than 3 pounds to be safe. WOO HOO!!! She lost 5 pounds! She is now 206, down from 211. Take that, saline solution!! 2.37%! Hmm just how heavy was that appendix and cyst? Miggy is safe. Red team still sweating it. Can the lone twin, John, stay safe? Will O'Neal have to make the decision? Miggy says "for my baby. Alli says Good Job. Miggy says she understands the reasons why she is here and hugs Jillian! Now Alli does congratulate Miggy (12) Fourth place in spite of surgery. Alli says just John/brown to weigh in and thus if he doesn't come up with the goods to beat red team, he will go home with no deliberation. Hmm.. well on my DVR, it sure doesn't look like much time for deliberation but we will see. John says he changed it up, less pool work, more gym work than ever, more sweat. More intensity. John has to lose over 7 pounds. Not looking good, time wise, and he loses only 6 pounds. Rats! Another week of red team and John goes home to join his twin.. well I guess to join his wife and kids and job? Bob looks crushed. He was 427, is now 42`, loss of 6 pounds. 1.41%. Red is safe. Brown team is all gone. People are crying all over the place. Alli looks sad. Sunshine looks cloudy. He has lost 63 pounds in five weeks. No deliberation tonight. Lance says he will miss John. Sam says it is tough; you are a brother to me and Koli. Alli tells him good luck. Jillian hides her eyes. John is very disappointed but had his victories.. He will take responsibility for himself now. He and his twin will push each other. I'll be in the 200's and healthy, great father. Went from 384 now 380. After a week his weight loss started to slow down, needs a lifestyle change. He goes to Jiu Jitsu classes and loves them. His family comes to see him spar with his brother James. Cute son cheers him on. The brothers now play basketball. Help each other to keep going. He hopes to be in the 200's and earn a jiu jitsu belt by the finale. Next week they will head to the US Olympic training center in Colorado. And they will weigh in as individuals and two players will be eliminated. Then we see a tease for someone gaining a pound from 214, which of course makes no sense for next week, Melissa winces, Alli says come with me, both pink team members say WHAT? Aftermath of Migdalia leaving.. Miggy says she thought she was going home.. in her head, home alredy, but not sure she wanted to stay even though they had discussed that. Couldn't bear not having her dughter there with her. Hardest moment of all, when she walked into the room and none of her things were there, bed empty, lost half of me. We hear Miggy weeping. 2:51am We hear talk on walkie talkie about meeting someone at the gate. Then we see people waking up for the day, walking up their reluctant partners. We see Alli come into the house and meeting them in the living room. She tells them Miggy is at the hospital. She wasn't feeling well and was taken away with stomach pains. She's having tests but will be alright. All others told to meet Alli at the pool, where she tells them they have been there a month. And one day, they will have to leave the campus. Real world challenges coming here to face you, today. Black limos arrive, with members of the Blue team: Cherita and Victoria, mom and daughter and the Yellow team, O'Neal and Sunshine, father and daughter! Yes!! Other teams are worried. Viewers like me are thrilled! Warm greetings from Alli.. She takes us back in time when these two teams were sent home for a month. Time to hit the gym and get on that scale The two teams see Bob and Jillian who will give them a Last Chance Workout before they weigh in. Oh, this is a surprise for these four and they worry about getting their butts whupped, as O'Neal tells us. Bob wants them to have the rite of passage of Last Chance Workout. Jillian says it isn't about being on BL but wanting your LIFE. Well, this is a more intense workout than they've been doing at home.. O'Neal is pleased to be able to perform at this level, he says. Bob says get ready, get rested and then time to weigh in. So.. all the teams join the blue and yellow teams, who have perhaps rested but definitely showered and are now wearing dry outfits. Miggy is still MIA. Who will be staying on the ranch??? The team with the highest % of weight loss will earn their place back on campus, with TWO WEEKS' IMMUNITY, but it won't be easy, because the team with immunity will also have the ONLY VOTE for eviction. This causes Bob's mouth to fall open and causes great amounts of squirmage among the teams, perhaps more among those who felt they had the lion's share of allies.. hmm.. but, but, they don't know us, don't know who has been working hard. Jillian says you just never know what is coming. The team who loses this weigh-in will go home. Blue team is up first. Vicky wants to show America what she can do. O'Neal says they look smaller to me. Cherita dropped from 277 to 253, losing 24 pounds and Victoria dropped from 358 to 319, a loss of 39 pounds. Total loss: 63 pounds. 9.92% loss. O'Neal and Bob both say WOW. Others wildly clap, but grins.. I suspect they all hope to ingratiate themselves to whichever team is to return, given their potential power. Alli points out that the average weight loss on campus is 45 pounds and Victoria came pretty close to that working out at home. Victoria says she's never been successful, but now she knows she can do it. Her mom cries and hugs her "You did so good! I'm pround of you!" Aww.. I <heart> these two. Jillian is so proud of them! Alli tells Yellow team that in order to stay on the ranch they must lost more than 65 pounds. O'Neal says that is like Mt Everest. Sunshine started at 275, O'Newl at 389. And they blow the other team out of the water with losses of 25 by Sunshine (275, down to 250) and 51 by O'Neal (from 389 down to 338). Total loss 76 pounds, 11.45%. Ah well, I had picked blue team in the game and did want them to come back, but with these two teams it really was a win win, since both are very likeable. Wish they could both come back, and replace Miggy and the Red team.. but I'm not a producer, now, am I? So..Yellow team is BACK..

Lots of clapping in the room. Cherita says you guys did a magnificent job at home and you showed America that we can do it at home, so we are going to continue our journey at home and you are going to continue your journey here and we are SO proud of you. Sunshine cries and says thatnk you. O'Neal and Sunshine celebrate to us.. We BACK and we're not going anywhere for the longest time. Blue team leaves again. Victoria says not again,but we will see results at home. Chenita agrees, they created a Ranch at home. Yellow teal is greeted happily (lol.. of course there will be kissing up while they have the power. So, let the workouts begin. Bob and Jill are pulling out the stops, working them hard. O'Neal is walking around, saying what the hell??? Everyone is so competitive. Stephanie worries that they don't know anyone and they have the power. Bob working Melissa hard. We AGAIN hear Melissa gripe about Bob saying she lied, complete with clips. Bob wants to put this behind them. She has to believe she can succeed. Melissa weeps.. Bob says yep, it is hard. He tells her this will make her stronger, what this house is all about, pushing outside of your comfort zone, finding all new limits. He knows she can do anything.

We have Sunshine for Yellow team, Daris for Orange, Andrea for black, Lance for Red, Sherry(!) for Pink, Sam for Gray Of course Mike for White, Stephanie for Purple, John for Brown. Miggy is still MIA. They aren't exactly hitting the dummies, jusst touching/pushing them.. they have two each on a swivel. Red and Gray doing best, but then White is pulling up.. Michael is tied with Red.. he's tall and don't walking between the dumies. He's catching up to Gray. Sam is moving several steps between the dummies. Koli yelling to Sam. They say so much effort, so winning is important. Pink in last, Sunshine staying ahead of Pink. Gray vs White and REd... Mike is definitely workig smarter. And he pulls into the lead at 900.. Only 100 to go. Sam moving faster, picking up the pace.. canhe catch up? Michael wins immunity. His mom would be so proud and yep he says "I did it, Mom." LOL.. Koli admits that winning is everything and he's a sore loser. Other teams work to hit 1000 with Sherry being in last (why on earth didn't the younger one do this task?) Seems like the stations were the same size, which certainly favored tall (Mike) and young/active .. Nighttime and Miggy returns. She tells us she was found to be suffering from appendicitis and had surgery. They took out the appendix and a mass/cyst. She says Dr Huizenga says all she can do is walk, but she is determined to walk! 5:31am. We see Michael and Miggy walking in the dark.. she plans to walk 20 miles. Mike doesn't want Miggy to go home. He has immunity but if she falls below the yellow line, hard for him to stay. Guess he's adopted Miggy as his mom. We see Stephanie and Sam raiding the kitchen to make yoplait smoothies. Bob bolts into the room to participate in this product placement. He's gleeful. Miggy meets with Dr H. Post-op day number 2. She has some discomfort. She tells him she walked 13 miles the day after surgery. He is amazed. She wants to stay. Too much to lose if she goes home. Doesn't want to die that way. He will let her stay. She has to do three things different. Eat a bit more. Don't jiggle the areas: no major bending, sit-ups, back off when she feels pain. They poured saltwater into her during surgery. She has an additional 8-9 pounds of saltwater in her system. Cannot suck that out. Miggy cries out a little bit of the saltwater; She feels her chances are low. Bob and Jillian join them in the gym and are surprised to hear that Mike won immunity. Jillian says SHUT UP! Then they hear of the two pound disadvantage to pink team. O'Neal is announcing it all. They see Miggy and she tells of her surgery. Miggy says that is why she was full of fluid and lost her daughter at the weigh in. She is on a treadmill, crying. Bob is really worried that she won't have the will to keep fighting. (ed. In the past when someone was hospitalized, they didn't have to weigh in.. why on earth didn't they keep Miggy inpatient a bit longer?) John is really nervious doing sprints with the others for the first time. Bob says he thinks John will blow up the scale this week. Bob says strange, white team is immune, green team just out of surgery, pink team with penalty. (He sounds like they are "his" teams?) Last Chance Workout Jillian shouting, Bob shouting.. Ashley is being a brat, not really working out, not feeling it (is that why she made her mom compete for immunity?) Jillian tells Ashley she might go home not getting it.. (ed.. uh yeah, bet mom would go home) Jillian tries to get into Ashley's head. She sais The fat girl that lost her father to cancer.. unresolved issues. Jillian takes Ashley outside.. Evidently she drank, smoked and ate over her dad issues. Ashley says he gave her crap over her size. She didn't come home when he was dying. Then she came home and he couldn't talk and died the next day. Jillian asks her to tell him what she would have said to him. Running for five minutes. Stephanie is being a real cheerleader for that group..women, Michael. Sunshine had been skeptical, says she hasn't done that at home yet. Stepahnie encourages her. Bob suddenly has a yoga session with them to calm their minds. Melissa is pumped. Sunshine too. O'Neal and Sunshine talk about their reponsibility, have to be tougher, he tells her. Don't have to feel bad. He says his decision will affect his ability to stay on this ranch. We may have to roll over or crush somebody. Wants one of them to stand on that stage with that confetti coming down. Weigh in They all feel this is the strangest, scariest weigh in. Tough, crucial, important.. Miggy walked 13 miles, 18 miles, 14 miles. Will never give up. Will walk to Puerto Rico. Team below yellow line is up. If a one person team is low, that person goes home. Yellow team is up first. They are immune. They lose 5 more pounds each, total of 10. 1.70%. Sunshine is down to 245; O'Neal down to 333. O'Neal wants Sunshine to have a better week and he only wants to pull double digits from now on. Congratulations, O'Neal. (two Good Jobs) Michael also has immunity, so he will weigh in now. He feels more comfortable he says. If he loses 30 pounds in the next two weeks he will set a new record for 100 pounds. Michael pulls a 13 pound loss down from 456 to 443 (this means he'll need to lose 17 next week to make the record). His % is 2.85. Congratulations (2) and Good Job Now begins the official weigh in. Pink team, with 2 pound disadvantage, is up now. Ashley's heart is pounding out of coutrol. They lose 15 pounds. Ashley down 9 pounds to 317 and Sherry down 6 pounds to 180. 2.93% Ah but there is the two pound advantage which takes the % down to 2.54. Ashley is proud of 9 pounds. Alli puts them on the board at 2.54%. She does not congratulate them or even say good job. Red team is up next. Melissa is flirting with under 200. They need to lose more than 13 pounds to be safe now. They only lose 9 pounds, so will have to sweat it out. Melissa does break the 200 barrier, down from 203 to 198, 5 pounds, while Lance loses only 4 pounds, down to 314 from 318. 1.73% Alli congratulates (3) Melissa on being below 200. She says something about that being okay and she tells us she was ecstatic about being under 200. Bob and Jillian aren't happy, we can tell. Melissa tells us she is disappointed in LANCE. ICK. Alli congratulates (4) Pink team for being safe now. Next up is Orange team. Cheryl tells us Daris has worked hard.. she is dreading getting up with him this week. They need to lose more than 8 pounds to be ahead of red team. Cheryl drops 3 pounds down from 197 to 194. Daris loses 12 pounds, down from 295 to 283. Total of 15 pounds and Orange team is safe. 3.05% Bob is happy. Daris gets congratulations (5)from Alli. and then she congratulates(6) them again. And still another time Alli congratulates (7) Orange Team. Tells Red team they are still in danger with 5 teams to weigh in. Up now, Stephanie, purple team. If she falls below the line, she's toast. She must lose moer than 3 pounds to be safe. She is happy to lose 5 pounds, down from 230 to 225. 2.17%. She is safe for another week. All is well in Tc99's world Alli congratulates (8) And then she congratulates (9) her yet again! Gray team is up and of course want to do well.. They need to lose more than 11 pounds to be ahead of red team. They do it! A total of 16 pounds. Sam loses 10, from 320 to 310. Koli down 6, from 341 to 335. 2.42% Sam says he crushed the 318 barrier. Koli and Bob agreen he should have lost 12 pounds with the work he put in. Alli tells them how they are safe and congratulates (10) them. Black, Brown and Green to go.. Can Miggy overcome all that saline solution in her belly and keep the red team at bay? Alli points out that yellow team will vote off one member of the bottom team. O'Neal looks over at red team and talks of voting to protect himself vs who someone asks him to vote off. Black team is up now. Darrell talks of his knees, not sure he hit his burn. They need to lose more than 10 pounds. And indeed they do. Drea shed 5 pounds, down from 267 to 262 and Darrell and his dragging knees lost 8 pounds, from 351 to 343. 13 pounds gives them a 2.10% and keeps them safe and above red team. Drea isn't happy with her loss, says she did more this week, lost the say. Bob and Jillian encourage her; she is still here. Alli just thanks them, so far. She announced their % and they then get their congratulations (11) LAnce says his heart kept sinking... (but remember Miggy and all that saline..) Time for Miggy to go up.. tough week and without Migdalia. She says this is for her. She never stopped so she will be happy. She must lose more than 3 pounds to be safe. WOO HOO!!! She lost 5 pounds! She is now 206, down from 211. Take that, saline solution!! 2.37%! Hmm just how heavy was that appendix and cyst? Miggy is safe. Red team still sweating it. Can the lone twin, John, stay safe? Will O'Neal have to make the decision? Miggy says "for my baby. Alli says Good Job. Miggy says she understands the reasons why she is here and hugs Jillian! Now Alli does congratulate Miggy (12) Fourth place in spite of surgery. Alli says just John/brown to weigh in and thus if he doesn't come up with the goods to beat red team, he will go home with no deliberation. Hmm.. well on my DVR, it sure doesn't look like much time for deliberation but we will see. John says he changed it up, less pool work, more gym work than ever, more sweat. More intensity. John has to lose over 7 pounds. Not looking good, time wise, and he loses only 6 pounds. Rats! Another week of red team and John goes home to join his twin.. well I guess to join his wife and kids and job? Bob looks crushed. He was 427, is now 42`, loss of 6 pounds. 1.41%. Red is safe. Brown team is all gone. People are crying all over the place. Alli looks sad. Sunshine looks cloudy. He has lost 63 pounds in five weeks. No deliberation tonight. Lance says he will miss John. Sam says it is tough; you are a brother to me and Koli. Alli tells him good luck. Jillian hides her eyes. John is very disappointed but had his victories.. He will take responsibility for himself now. He and his twin will push each other. I'll be in the 200's and healthy, great father. Went from 384 now 380. After a week his weight loss started to slow down, needs a lifestyle change. He goes to Jiu Jitsu classes and loves them. His family comes to see him spar with his brother James. Cute son cheers hime on. The btoehrs now play basketball. Help each other to keep going. He hopes to be in the 200's and earn a jiu jitsu belt by the finale. Next week they will head to the US Olympic training center in Colorado. And they will weigh in as individuals and two players will be eliminated. Then we see a tease for someone gaining a pound from 214, which of course makes no sense for next week, Melissa winces, Alli says come with me, both pink team members say WHAT?

Color, we had the one hour rerun and then a new two hour BL at 9pm. Melissa/red were not immune, she was worked really hard, they were in last place until the very last team, but John/Brown was lower percent wise and went home. Melissa seemed to blame their peril on Lance. Thanks, Sea. Dang. Usually I don't get into BL much when it's on opposite DWTS. I am watching this season -- so far.

Sea before Miggy even came back I mentioned to BF that she would like have fluid retention. I wasn't even thinking about them flooding the surgical area so much as the IV to replace fluids and such. I've had 4 laporoscopies and I was not fit to walk after any of them. My memory isn't what it used to be but I am pretty sure all 4 were same day surgery. Since this stretches back to the late 70's I might have stayed a night but no memory of it. The first one I was about 20 and my recuperative abilities were much better than the last one at about 46. Still I remember lying around in my jammies for the better part of a week the first time because it was over my college Christmas break and there are pix of me from that Christmas. I could sit, I could move about the house but I certainly couldn't walk miles. And for months after I was very uncomfortable with any pants waistband. In my 40s I had my gall bladder removed and I remember at 3 weeks I had to go back to the surgeon to remove stitches and staples. I was doubling over going out the front door. The drive to and back was a worse ordeal than the actual day of surgery. I don't know what BL is trying to pull but as Nick keeps saying, they are making me cynical. Yes I heard something about a tumor and growth also.

I didn't have a strong favorite, blue or yellow. I liked both teams equally. As things have turned out I wish some other teams would have been in their place and had blue and yellow play the game. It is largely supposition but I think all four of those players have great attitudes and would have been much better on the show than red. And pink has been a eh team for me too. The young pink girl should be losing more and now I see this week that she isn't busting behind like some of the others. I'm really liking the orange team and I didn't plan to like them because it seems like they might have some bucks already. But Daris and his mom both seem very receptive to the process. And how about Stephanie stepping up as a leader during the treadmill? She isn't as strong as Tara but I see a lot of the same heart and determination in her. And I was so happy Michael really pulled off a big immunity and he didn't sandbag either. Is it just me or can anyone else see him growing week by week as an individual person?

I agree Gidget. I was really impressed with Michael last night. I think he showed he's there to lose weight just by not throwing the weigh in even though he had immunity. I still don't understand why the pink team had the mom do the challenge. I want the red team to go home. I tried to like Lance, but I think he's just as bad a Melissa. I was sad to see John go, but I think he'll do just fine at home.

Not just committed Kar, I see him growing in independence that just wasn't there before. Suddenly we are seeing personality and even a bit of a spark in his eyes. Okay so it looks like he has latched onto Miggy as a mom sub but Miggy will let him be a man. Maybe mom was afraid to let him be a man. It happens a lot. I've liked him from the beginning but I always like a contestant more when I see them moving in good directions, not necessarily just weight loss. A couple more weeks on the ranch and maybe he will be ready to keep those apron strings cut.

Both Michael and Miggy got more committed to the process after their mom and daughter went home. I think for some people, having a support person there is almost like a crutch. I really like Yellow team. Followed by Grey. Daris is becoming interesting to watch too. John looked so different without the beard. Too bad his brother left early. I think John will need to provide guidance for him while at home. I'm always find it interesting when the contestants do better at home than at the ranch.

Oh and on the surgery note. We had someone at work have an appendectomy. He was back at work the day after the surgery. It just must depend on what type of procedure is used. Interesting to note, on my coworkers surgery, they also found a cyst that was removed. However, he had to have a multitude of additional tests as the weeks have gone by in order to determine if the cyst is anything serious or not.

I heard them say that Miggy had her appendix, a cyst and a growth removed. They were specific that she had to be very careful with what she did. I can see though that she's in just as good of hands being at the ranch and doing what she can as being at home with probably nobody to oversee her. Amazing that she was able to get rid of so much retained fluid (my understanding is that they flooded the area with saline solution to help clear up any remaining infection). And she was allowing herself to become emotional - must have really been an enlightening week for her!

Surgery: I had my gall bladder out at 26 and was helpless and in pain for two weeks, then restricted for another four. My scar is over 12" long. My son had his gall bladder out when he was 45 (40 years after mine) and he went home the same day and was at work the next day. His scar is less than an inch long. Things change, procedures change and problems can be different.

By the way, I meant to add that I was kind of annoyed by the grey team this week (and I liked them so much last week!). That "win at all cost" attitude that Sam is sporting could get annoying pretty quick. I understand that he is very competitive but I don't need to hear it every turn he turns around!

I have the small scar too and it was miserable. Maybe that was me. But I doubt you will find many health professionals that will not have you take it easy after surgery. Even minor sugery. It is a shock on your body. You're gonna love this show Laura. Nothing more inspiring than the before and afters and even the in betweens.

After 2 days in bed after my hysterectomy, I went outside & whacked weeds with a scythe (think sharp golf club) for 6.5 hrs. My dr. couldn't believe it. 1/4" scar in my bellybutton for the camera, cutting done thru vagina. I was 48.

Kar and Gidget.. I saw Michael stepping up, too. I did worry a bit when he equated Miggy maybe going home to again losing a mother figure, but that look in his eyes when he won immunity.. it was pride in himself and it was a good thing. Sure, they didn't calibrate the setups and he had an easier time in some ways, but he also used his brain and took advantage of it and came out ahead! I think part of the reason he didn't sandbag is that Alli (and undoubtedly others behind the scenes) are urging him on to make yet another new record.. to lose 100 pounds sooner than anyone ever has. He had a big chunk of pounds to lose next time to accomplish that goal, but he mibht just do it. I loved the way Stephanie was leading and encouraging. Vsmart.. I knew a dogshow handler who was more than 48 who had a hysterectomy and ran around the ring the next weekend showing large dogs. But it probably wasn't a good idea. I know I lifted something a bit too heavy.. well it was fairly large sack of heavy glass bottles and I lifted it into our dumpster and i'm short and since we are 6 months down the line, looks like I got away with it but it wasn't smart for me to do that.. Miggy seemingly didn't have as much removed as with a hysterectomy and probably not as much "reconstruction" necessary, so perhaps it was okay to have her return to do what she did. However my impression was that she was gone for several days, missing both challenges, and then the first three days all she did was walk, so it isn't like she jumped out of bed and onto a treadmill overnight. I'm still not sure why Dr H said she gained 8 pounds from saline but maybe with more body fat that happens? Mamabatsy, a twelve inch scar would indicate that you had MUCH more external healing to do than any of us who had laparoscopic procedures. I was every so grateful to realize in recovery that I just had those four holes and not the alternative huge incision.

This was a very long time ago. I had to stay in the hospital for a week for childbirth 47 years ago and that was considered shocking since at the time two weeks was the norm. But we had no insurance and it was very hard for us to pay even the $650 it cost for a week. YES, that was what a week in the hospital for me and my son cost in 1962. Of course at the time my husband was considered to have a fantastic job at $8,000 per year. LOL Time have changed.

My understanding of the saline solution is that they flooded her abdominal cavity with saline solution to clean out infection, which then was absorbed by her tissues and would have to naturally work its way out of the body. Which might explain why during the last chance workout she was sweating more heavily than normal.

She was hard on the heels to win a bonus in the immunity challenge and fell seconds before. Wound up with second place.
