From a write-up in today's paper about Tina Elliot. She's a local gal. http://www.oregonlive.com/movies/index.ssf/2010/09/ local_woman_tina_elliott_takes.html Okay, none of those people look very happy. Buck up! Bob and Jillian show no mercy!

I did my best with the banner but those were terrible pictures to work with. NBC really phoned this one in when it came to the photography. It looks like they just took video freeze frames.

Wow build it and they will come!! Fast banner, Jimmer. I agree.. I was looking at the bios and large versions of the pics and they were terribly blurry. And the people DO look really unhappy too. Will fill in more later of course but here is a skeleton chart.. 09/21/2010

Had to smile thinking of Corey as a life coach! I'd be wanting to coach him into barbering right away.

I think it is just so damn cruel to cut that guy before he even gets started. They're doing that in all the other places, too, so I've changed the channel and I'm not going back. Boooo.

I really hate this format. And everything is boo hoo my life is tragic. If this is the tone for this season, I'm outta here.

Gidget I don't like the sob stories either. I can do without all of that.

ITA Everyone has to be able to lose at least 50% of their weight and have a HUGE sob story! It makes good tv, but its starting to put it out of the reach of the average viewer... imho (and I dont like to cry!! and they seem to really be trying to pull my heart strings - that poor girl who's parents lost 2 boys? one to a drowning where she was in the pool, one to SIDS, amd of course the one she had a car accident - but I think he survived? the way the story was told at first, I thought she was going to say he didnt survive!)

and then to take 2 out of 3 and make them fight to the finish to get in the limo - was I the only one that thought this "technique" was cruel? seriously cruel!!

All of the contestants are pictured up top. Does that mean that all of them will compete? I thought only 2 of the ones eliminated last night will be coming back.

I don't like to cry, either but some of those stories! I'll tune in again to see how they do on the ranch. Looks like there will be someone coming back to make the yellow team. Jessica has the most beautiful hair-jealous!!!

During the seasons previews at the end of last nights show, it showed Jill and Bob talking to the players that did not make it to the limos and telling them that this was not the end. It also showed a scene were more people were brought to the ranch. So I believe like last season, the people who got the boot tonight will have a chance to make it to the ranch after a few weeks.

Banner, chart.. I based my mockup chart on what the website showed, which now I can only guess at what is accurate. They show all three people from a couple of locations and there were some competing not shown at all. I'm just suspensing my chart until I see how things shake out next week. Very strange presentation.. confusing "set of contestants" and blurry pictures as well. I honestly couldn't concentrate after awhile as they went from city to city and crushed dreams and didn't even use the same challenge in each place!

What Pepper said, and it also sounded like they said half would go home.. so if they bring back 7 people, half or some number go home.. maybe this set is who remains, in which case they spoiled their own show results.

I guess I'll just leave the banner as is as well. Do we know the teams and colors yet? I have a love/hate relationship with this show. I like to see these people changing their lives for the better but at times the show seems cruel and manipulative to me.

They assigned all the colors last night, and said something about the game would change - a 700 lb change - which seems to indicate that two people will be able to join in at some point.

It seems as if, by eliminating the last place person in each city, they've eliminated the one who needs it the most.
