I'm so sorry I disappeared without a trace for a while. My mother in law, who lives with us, went to visit her daughter out of state. She was gone for a month. While she was there, she wasn't feeling well. When she returned home, she had lost 11 pounds in that month. She only weighed 72 pounds to begin with (She has weighed that since her lung cancer 5 years ago) I took her to the doctor and they scheduled a lot of tests. A week ago last Saturday, she was having trouble breathing. We took her to the ER and they found she had double pneumonia. But the biggest shock to us and to her, was that her lung cancer was back, and has spread to her liver and surrounding organs. They said they could treat her, but that it would do no good whatsoever, or they could let her spend her remaining time at home and keep her comfortable. She chose the no treatment route. We have her back at home and are keeping her comfortable with meds and help from hospice. These have been very trying days, and I haven't had any time up until this point to be on here. Now that I will be home all the time, I should be able to play the game again. I'm sorry I let my team down (But they really did better without me!! ) Thank you for your concern while I was away, you all are the best!!!

TC, do we have any trivia questions this week? Like, will Lance's goatee reach his chest, will Michael's hair be poofed out and combed back straight at the weigh-in, will everyone cry at the vote out ceremony? LOL!

(((((Gumby))))) You are a kind heart, Gumby. And as a fellow soul, my heart goes out to you at this time. If you are anything in life as you are with us, then your family, your Mother in Law are truly blessed and will continue in grace. You will NEVER let down the team. We're glad to have ya and your positivity, helpfulness, and downright cool vibes not only in Allymination, but on The Early Birdies, and in any of my games in general! You're one of the gamers that I really like and make it worth dedicating the time to do this because we're all having fun and guessing awesome stuff together! So here's the TRIVIA: Q1: Due to recent developments, now that we know love has bloomed at the Biggest Loser Ranch between Sam and Stephanie (like I said in General Thread, I KNEW that trip to Subway meant something!) , will there be ANY physical or verbal contact between Sam and Steph this week? From a 'Bravo Stephanie' , to an innocent high-five , to a lingering handshake , to anything that we can imbue with subtext and secret longing? yes/no (10pts) Q2: Will the person voted out first split up an old team (like Gray,Pink,Yellow) or eliminate one of the old teams (like Orange, Red, White, Black or Purple)? (15pts) A) Split up old team B) Eliminate old team Q3) In tribute to Beachcomber, will there be any mention in the show, either in confessional or out and about, about hair, in one way or another, be it being out of control (example -- Lance, Michael, Darius), or beautifully kept(example -- Stephanie, Sunshine)? yes/no(20pts) Bonus Q4) In honor of Gumby, who laughed very heartily the first time around at this, will Bob mention anything about gum, either pitching it or parousing it, chewing on or blowing bubbles with, some of that Extra Sugar Free stuff he so delights in? yes/no (25pts)

1. Yes, hopefully, cuz it will be fun to watch now that we know! 2. A if they are thinking.. 3. No mention. (Not until makeover week) 4. Yes, BOB will not let us down, as Jimmer assures us.. and if he does well then Bob2112 will be {{{Gumby and MIL}}} I know hospice will be a great help at a terrible time. And when any of you feel a need for more support, now or down the line, check at www.cancer.org.. there are online support areas now and support via phone and much more. 1-800-ACS2345 can also give you referrals. Glad to have you back and so sorry for this turn for your MIL

Well Stephanie and Sam had a big hug but the whole team was hugging so it seemed. However I did note that when Sam went up to weigh in Stephanie put her hand on his arm, which she didn't do to others. Nothing real blatant.. well except she didn't get evicted even though she had the lowest pound loss AND the lowest % loss. Yes a team was split up.. Sherry and Ashley. No mention of hair that I noted. But no gum that I noticed either. But maybe someone else noticed a bowl or basket of gum. This week BOB pushed turkey and avocado and didn't even mention Jennie-O turkey so maybe they aren't a sponser any more? But there was also an appearance of Subway sandwiches but no mention of them.

TRIVIA: Q1: Since they are going back home, there's gotta be a temptation, just like they did when they ran the marathon last year. Since only two of the contestants on the ranch are married, Lance and O'Neal, which will be MORE negatively affected by their wife, like last year, into making worse decisions in the temptation? (10pts) A) Lance B) O'Neal C) Neither, both will be positively supported Q2: When they are away for the week, will any of them be good little pavlovian contestants and be seen going to Subway? Yes/No (15pts) Q3: Who will win the 26.2 stationary bike contest? (25pts) A) Daris B) Koli C) Lance D) Michael E) O'Neal F) Sunshine G) Andrea H) Ashley I) Sam J) Stephanie
