I just tuned in to the live feeds--catching the end of the food challenge.

I don't mean to sound petty, but I can't believe the weights of these people. There is no way Tonya weighs ten pounds less than Chiara.

And Jason gained like 5lbs eating chocolate?

What is up with that scale?

Actually, I was just thinking about Amy's weight. She must be really short because it said that she weighs 117 pounds. That can't be right, is it? I am slightly thinner than Amy, and I weigh way more than that.

I find it a little hard to believe that I outweigh Tonya by 10 pounds...They must be filled with air.

Robin: Tonya was 120lbs. Chiara was 129. If I remember correctly, Amy was also around 120 (which was kind of surprising).

Deirpg: i know! I was thinking that couldn't be right either. She must be petite woman.

Ryan: LOL! I miss your witty quips when the board is down. :)

Damn it! I got Lisa and Chiara mixed up again! And once again, I am still mystified as to how Tonya can weight TWELVE POUNDS more than Chiara. It's just not possible!!!!

Scorpio - Tonya is not big, she just has MAMMOTH breasts..

Muscle weighs more than fat (and, apparently, silicone). I'd guess that Chiara has more muscle mass than Tonya.

Oop - sorry about the double post. (new here)

This just isn't adding up right. The Amy thing is really getting to me. If she weighed 117 pounds, she would have to be like 5 foot nothing for this to make sense. And you're right, Scorpiomoon, it doesn't make sense that Tonya weighs less than Chiara. Chiara looks really petite, and Tonya looks quite a bit bigger than Chiara. And Marcellus looks much bigger than 167. Doesn't add up at all.

Tonya seems littler that Chiara, like she had a smaller frame. Amy does look prety short.

Why do they weight them every year?

I think Tonya is really petite and Chiara is regular size. And she does probably have more muscle tone.

Sorry about all my misspellings. Is the board really slow for anyone else lately?

Tonya said she was 5'4 and Chiara said she was 5'8 so that makes sense. Lisa is also tall and Amy is pretty short.

I hope I can help out a little here.

Weight is really dependant upon your body fat%. For example (before I quit smoking a few month ago) I weighed 137lbs and I am 5'6"1/2 I have a friend who is the exact same height as me and only weighs 119 lbs but we wear exactly the same size clothes. The only real difference in our bodies is that I have bigger arms and more shoulder and back muscle.

From what I can see Tonya is very muscular and the other girls are not as muscular, esp Amy.

I for one believe that all of the weights were accurate, and I was not surprised by any of them. And here's why:

Tonya talked about how she never works out. And we know Chiara works out. Muscle is denser than fat so of course Chiara can weigh a lot more than Tonya if Chiara is more lean muscle than fat. Tonya is just fat and silicone.

Also, height is a major factor. I haven't noticed, but is Tonya shorter than Chiara? In Amy's case, being a very short person and much smaller than the other girls, it is not surprising to me that she weighs the least of the group. Not only that, but Amy is not "fat" by any means. Her little round face, short stature, curves, and not-so-toned appearance may give the illusion that she is a bit chunky, especially next to the taller, thinner girls in the house.

YOu have to factor in muscle, fat and bones when trying to figure out someone's weight.

Their weights all seems very realistic:

Amy is extremely short (well, compared to my own 5'10" self, most women are midget like! - no offense!) and she doesn't have much muscle tone and has very small bones.

Chiara is tall, with fairly good muscle tone and bigger bones.

Tonya is smallish, too, with thinner bones and light muscle tone.

Jeez, on my frame, 132 lbs would probably make me thinner than Lisa and she already looks grossly undernourished to my eyes.

Oops guys had brain freeze!

I mean't Danielle is muscular not Tonya (unless you are counting those big chest muscles) LOL!

And considering Baby Jane,... I mean, Amy has at least 10 pounds of makeup on.

Again, back to my points in the "Why aren't there any FAT girls..." thread, we as a society are obsessed with the way women's bodies look. We are often very harsh in our judgments -- me, included. I fall into the trap sometimes, too. (I am also referring to the "Julie Chen looked great tonight..." thread as well here).

[Please feel free to ignore me ... I couldn't help myself. I'm a little sensitive about this topic.]

I agree, Yankee. And if you'll notice, that Chen thread seems to have been modded out of existence, probably because of that very point. (My last post into it was like, "No one talks about Peter Jennings' figure or clothes, and no one talks about Bernard Shaw as if he's just come over from Ghana, so why apply critiques like that to an all-American girl like Julie?")

Granted, I acknowledge there is a fine line... Tonya ALWAYS discusses her body and her surgery. I don't think discussions of her breasts are necessarily unfair, since she openly and explicitly invites it (in fact, bodies and fitness and sex are pretty much ALL she ever talks about!). It's not a big leap.

Julie, on the other hand, is just a professional doing her job. It all comes down to showing a person the same respect they show themselves, I suppose... or does it?
