    Vicki sure does look good!! :love: Competion can make a person very ugly inside/out.:sick: Whatever she's done to change has certainly taken a shine on the outside of her. She does not look like the same person as she did on the show.:glasses:

    Go Danny!!! I liked him all along...and I just saw Rebecca on the Leno show WOW she is hot!! She's not just the girl with the pretty face anymore like she said...she's the whole package! Maybe she will win the at-home thing. It would be awesome if Shay won at-home though..she needs more confidence boost!

    It seems like the true character of these players is being revelaled the closer it gets to the *payday*.
    Rudy and Liz are not nice people. I loved the way Jillian called Rudy a liar and he STILL kept lying about why he voted off Rebecca.
    I lost all respect for Liz the week she badmouthed the crazy lady, then DIDN't vote her of and became her *best* friend. gag!
    Every week she gets less and less likable to me. I actually have to change the channel anytime Rudy or Liz are on anymore. If they are below the yellow line and America chooses the 3rd player like past seasons, I think they will be out of there!
    I am really rooting for Danny. He seems genuinely there for the right reasons.
    I would love to see Shay be the at home winner, but she would really have to drop some serious poundage to have a high enough percentage to beat the smaller contestants.

    Actually, you ARE right! I can't believe I forgot Abby!!!!

    I agree with everything you said... except I want Abby to be the at home winner :smile:

    Did anyone watch Where Are They Now? I really enjoyed it, although it made me realize how bad the past 2 seasons have been. The early seasons truly had some inspiring people in search of a way to change their lives.
    I was very moved by Matt Hoover and his honesty about continuing to struggle with weight in daily life. I cried when he missed the IronMan cut off by 3 minutes, but admired his perseverance and attitude about it.
    I appreciated Vicky's honesty and willingness to admit she was a truly unlikable person on the show!
    I did wonder where Helen's daughter was. I can't help but question whether she realized how selfish her mother was to vote her own daughter off, not once, but TWICE! Truly my most disliked contestant EVER! I understand needing to take care of yourself, but never at the cost of your own child's health!!!
    It was so sad to see how much weight Eric has regained. I hope he can make the emotional connections to become healthier soon!
    It seems to me that I also heard Ryan, Season 1 winner has gained it all back.
    In general I thought it was terrific to catch up on so many contestants. I didn't feel that anyone, even those who had regained large amounts of weights, were failures. Most, I think added a few needed pounds from final weigh-in. Many were at an extremely hard to maintain weight, IMO, but I still thought they all seemed so much healthier and happier.
    I do hope producers were paying attention and do a better job of casting in the future and get back to the business of changing lives, not bank accounts!

    JMHO! What did y'all think?

    I watched it too. I agree that the last two seasons haven't been as good as the previous ones. I have alot of respect for Matt Hoover for doing the IronMan. There are alot of extremely fit people that are too scared to even attempt it.

    I'm also not surprised most of the previous contestants have gained weight. Most of them go to the extreme for the final weigh-in which makes it impossible to maintain.


    For Tuesday night, I really wish Amanda would have voted for Liz. I have come to really dislike her attitude. I am also sick of Rudy's attitude. I was originally voting for Rebecca. I hope she is the at home winner. Now I am rooting for Amanda.

    I agree Becky, it was cool to see Matt and Suzy, I really loved them on that season, I COULDN'T STAND Helen - how COULD you do that to your own daughter, especially when Helen had been trim before, and her daughter hadn't really ever been there? I also thought that was extremely selfish of her. I remember how mad I was that Helen actually won, since I really wanted Tara to win. It's hard sometimes to watch people that have been models (Tara and Laura) go on there, for they have already felt "beautiful" in their life, and see someone like Helen's daughter voted off.. I liked Rebecca too - she is Gorgeous! YAY for her! I can't wait to see when we can vote for the final 3. I just don't care for how Rudy is playing the game now, and I really like Danny, he seems like such a sweet soul.

    I would have liked to see Kristen from last season, and some other girl...Oh I forget her name now. She was Bernie's partner the season before that, they were the 'strangers' couple. She ws sooo pretty, she was one of my favorites.

    I think her name was Brittney? So sweet and so pretty. I think she was Jillian's favorite too.

    I agree with pretty much what everyone is saying about this current season. I was really rooting for Allen to hang in there as long as he could. He is a very genuine person. I know the show has to have drama and ratings to keep things going for the show BUT I don't think they should vote anyone off on the show. I think whoever has the least % of weight loss would go home. That's it. No second chances, no ugly words, no hard feelings. That way everything is fair and everyone will work their hardest to stay above that. It seems that they are voting people off who are the biggest threats. Allen was more of a threat than Liz was and that's exactly why he got voted off. It's like you are punished for doing well and coming out on top.

    I hated Helen too and couldn't believe she won. I was rooting for either Tara or Mike. They looked to great in the finale.

    "Where are they now"
    One thing I noticed. Alot of these former BL contestants, all have some kind of fitness or personal training job.

    I kept thinking that these people lost their full time jobs after the show, and since they learned all that info from Bob and Jillian their spreading the word, getting money, and also help themselves keeping in shape.

    What better than to get paid to work out.

    Also noticed that Vicky has done great, but I was surprised they didn't show her husband and kids?

    Definately Kudo's to Matt.
    I saw that he had gained weight and thought no way he'll do an Ironman. - Well done, and I'm sure he was in so much pain after it was done.

    I voted for Manders. I think the boys will really push her to get it done. Now if she would stop being so gosh darn WHINEY. I like her, but it seems whenever times get tough, she gets whiney.

    I feel he looks older now that he has lost so much weight. Maybe its cuz the wrinkles aren't stretched out with all the chubbiness. Am I the only one who feels this way??

    I wanted to vote for Amanda, but didn't want to give all my personal information. I get enough spam as it is. :grumble:

    Liz has an evil streak. America voted for Amanda at the last finale and I am 100% sure they will vote her through to the final 3 of this finale. She looked great last night!!! Also, way to go Danny!!!! Those are my 2 picks for the winners. I was voting for Rudy in the beginning, but the past few weeks he's shown another side of himself and it's not very flattering.

    I am so with you. Rudy has back stabbed a few people and I just don't like him. I really want Amanda to win but seeing that there are two guys who obviously have a lot more to lose I see a guy winning...I just hope that it is Danny, if not Amanda.

    Can someone post a link to the voting? I can't seem to find it on NBC's website... or maybe I am too late already?

    Thanks!

    it seems to not be there right now - Just a little bit ago there was a link right from the NBC.com home page - maybe they have a glitch - guess we should check back later.

    oh - that was fast!!!

    If any of you haven't watched the bonus video of Danny at home talking to Jilian about the chair beside his bed you really need to watch it - it is on the nbc.com site - He is a good guy and deserves so much good.

    Danny has lot a LOT of weight, honestly it kind of scared me. Makes him look somewhat sick and it got me wondering if he's doing something he shouldn't be to get that weight off like that. It's not really fast, it's about a pound a day like he said but wow! His face looks kind of sickly. I'm rooting for either Danny or Amanda.

    Ditto - Rudy - yuck!

    I forgot to vote but for sure I am cheering Amanda and Danny on all the way.
