Anyone kno how people throw the weigh-ins? I've heard it's from consuming massive amounts of water but seriously? 9 lbs of water?! Wouldn't your bladder burst!? And wouldn't it be even more than 9 lbs you'd have to consume since being on the ranch you have to be losing weight?!

    Yeah it comes from water logging. Its strange, but it can be done.

    A gallon of water is 8 lbs. It's really not that difficult to drink the entire thing. I have heard drinking a gallon of water is how a lot of food eating contestants stretch their stomach the night before a contest. Yes, you'd have to pee a lot, but it would take your body time to pass it all to your bladder.

    I think to blow the weigh in the drink a lot of water as well as eat ALOT of sodium. Sodium can make you retain sooo mcuh water. Its happened to me before. I know wsome contestants dehydrate before the weigh in to weigh less so i guess some of them could just not dehydrate and stay the same or gain.
