    Those guys are so emotional...too emotional for me. Well, I love big cry babies but still they make me cry just watching them.

    I haven't picked a favourite to be honest but I would think 'if' one of the brother's won they'd probably split the cash anyways.

    I didn't like Kelli to begin with because I thought she was too much of a crybaby, but after watching the blue team......she's an adroid in comparison. :huh:

    Good show though, I'm totally hooked! :drinker:

    I would have to agree that Kelli would be last on my list but I just watch this show as inspiration that 15 weeks later these people have lost so much weight and the comparisons are just shocking. Whomever wins deserves it. And of course todays show showed how big of a team they are.
  • Im a fan of the show... I was rooting for Brittany, then after she was voted off i started rooting for Dan and now im to Kelli... i dont really like aly that much...

    Mark needs to GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...Ali MIGHT then have a chance. I would love to see her win. she looks FABULOUS!!! I'm so motivated when I see what she did in 105 days!!!

    I'm anxious to see Ali's mom also.

    This has been a really good year..but those guys.. OH KLEENEX take me away!!! good lord..what cry babies!!!

    I wish they would bring back the PREVIOUS winners. I would like to see how they managed their programs in the long run.

    No doubt. :laugh: My hubby has called the blue team "the ladies" since their first mental breakdown about 4 weeks ago. (lol)

    Number wise, I don't see how either Ali or Kelli can win it, but I'm hoping! :smile:

    I think of Mark and Jay as the "Boo Hoo Brothers" - my goodness I haven't seen that much emotional display in ages.

    I haven't decided who I want to win but I'm really inspired by Aly's transformation. They have all worked hard.

    it's funny, my wife thinks it's ceritonin causing Mark to cry so much. I don't know, but I do know this, every time I see them come home to Massachusetts I am just a tiny bit embarassed. Trust me, all MASS-holes aren't like that. It just seems like they take the worst case scenario from an area and use em. I mean, the only thing I have in common with those guys is that I like to think I work hard too.

    I know both those guys and it's funny, I DO think it's exhaustion and all the life-changing stuff that's going on that's makin' 'em crybabies. It's also great TV so you KNOW that no man-crying ever will be edited out !!!

    It's been an interesting season. But, I will tell you that the last 2 seasons have helped keep me going!! I would watch it every week, see the weigh-ins....and be motivated to do well and have dropped 71 lbs in 7 months. Man, if I did that on my own, I would ROCK on the biggest loser!! LOL!!

    It was fun to watch them in Australia last night. What a beautiful place to compete. Also- the only product they could plug was Travelocity! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    I was glad to see another guy go, but I liked Jay better than Mark. Oh well. Should be interesting next week when they are on their own without Jillian and Bob. Then they'll be like the rest of us! :happy:
    I'm totally addicted to the show and I make my kids go to bed early so I can watch without any interruptions :blushing: (shame on me!)

    Every time they showed the brothers my hubby and I would say, "Are they crying AGAIN??" lol

    But then the kicker was when Mark called home and his wife even said, "Are you crying AGAIN??"LOL

    I am also a huge fan of the show--they are all SO inspiring! I haven't watched this weeks yet--I'll watch that when I am on my treadmil, eliptical or bike--it really motivates me to exercise when I am watching them! I don't really have a favorite--I hate to see any of them get voted off! Does anyone have any of the workouts? I LOVE the sculpting one and I also just ordered the 'Success stories' book. They did it, WE CAN TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!:drinker:

    This is my fav. show I never miss it. I am glad the two guys have been split up so because it gives the girls a better chance of winning, but all are doing such a great job.

    I'm sure it was edited to look like they weren't working out as hard, but while the girls were having a kick-butt "last chance workout" the guys were sitting on mats & stretching??? :huh:

    I know Yoga is good exercise, but I wonder if running them around Sydney wouldn't have been better for the boys?

    I am so all for Ali!!

    I really hope she wins. She kicks serious *kitten*!!

    I want her to prove to all the women out there that a woman can win this show!! I can tell that she wants to prove it too.

    I was kind of hoping that Mark would go home instead of Jay. That way, she wouldn't have had so much competition. Mark is her biggest threat.
  • i'm a fan of the show. i was glad to see that ali and kelly stayed. i'd love to see a woman win it, but am disappointed that they're going to leave it up to the fans to decide who the biggest loser is. they've thrown so much at this years contestants, it's bordering on the ridiculous. kelly is my favorite, but ali has grown on me. especially now that she looks a lot healthier. when she came back she was gaunt and didn't look very healthy, like she was a victim of exercise bulimia.

    and yes, the guys are a bunch of crybabies. hubby says i'm mean for saying they all need to drop a pair. :bigsmile: i'm all for guys sharing and showing their emotions, but good bob man get em in check *L*

    Oh yeah! Those boys are running scared back to their yoga mats! Alli or Kelly have my vote. Love the show, but most of all I love the tips and the shameless extra gum advertising.

    i tried the fish and sauteed scallions,parsley,tomatoes and lemon juice. i used orange roughy and steamed it in the steamer bag instead of baking it. it was, as my daughter kaylin would say, "super yummy delicious"! you know it's good when you can get your entire family to eat it and ask for seconds :laugh:

    hahaha

    i have to admit that i loved how Roger nailed it on the head last night about Jay having grown out of the shadow of Mark. He really has and I think Mark has treated him with much more respect as a result.

    I was watching last night and LOL....I felt for them all....it must be really emotional seperated from your family and all...I know as much as I said man I'd love to do that....I know I'd be missing my family especially my son....so every time I watch I get emotional too LOL...AND I am from Massachusetts soooo...who knows...KIDDING...as Banks said we're not all like that...and as someone else said I'm sure its a lot of editing too....but you know they transform in such a small amount of time it must be amazing and totally emotional too....still I think the tissues will be less now that the families and teams are all separated....we shall see LOL

    I think they all look amazing!!! I'm a fan of them all...anyone who like us wants a better quality of life and does something about it is okay by me! lol

    I personally like Ali....hmmm I wonder why LOL....I think she looks great...they all do really! I'm happy when I see them at home and w/ their family and seeing how far they have come...totally motivates me!
    big hugs to my own biggest losers! lol
    Ali...the other Ali :wink:
  • Go Ali Go...
    And the other Ali too... lol

    Hey - Great for you!! Your success is just as motivating. I have downloaded the song "Proud" from iTunes and listen to it at the beginning of a workout, if I need the motivation or at the end of a workout to celebrate myself a bit. I love the show too - hoping for Ali - would have stuck with Brittany if she was still on. :-(

    I cried with them last night :sad:. I don't know what the "brotherly" relationship was like before this but I gather it has been strengthened tremendously through this journey. Being overweight is not only a burden on your body, but on you mind/spirit as well. I hate that other people feel the way that I have felt over excess weight, but on the other hand it is so good to know that other people, even men, have felt and may still feel the way I did.

    While I don't really approve of the drastic measures and quick weight loss, the show is one of my favorites. I wish all of them well. I am pulling for Allie.
