I have never missed a season! I love this show! Last season I worked out during every commercial break. It was really motivational! I was so sad when I seen people that weigh less than me and couldn't finish the mile without falling out!

I fell asleep after LA. I didn't mean to; I was just exhausted. I DVRd it though and I'm going to watch it today (working from home). I love the fall -- TV to record and watch when I'm working out!!!

I love the show too! I know it is not the healthiest approach to weightloss and working out 8 hours a day is not realistic long term, but their transformations never cease to inspire me.

There were two definite Lap Banders on the show and I noticed another couple with what looked to me like Lap Band scars (but of course, could have been something else). It makes me sad that the Band couldn't help them the way it has helped many of us.

I don't know who my faves are yet, but there were a lot of people I liked. I did literally start crying when the guy fell down so close to the finish. I want him to do well in the side competition!!

I watched the show too but didn't care for the fact they made the contestants do a challenge that hard in order to make it to the ranch. I thought it was too soon for that which was evident by the people passing out.

I don't know about the lapband but one of the girls on the show said she'd had gastric bypass and it didn't work for her. So sad as she was very young.

Yes I too noticed that the contestant wanna be's were very young and so big. I too thought that the challenges were too streneous for the first trial to get to the ranch. And the humiliation for the ONLY one who did not make it was HUGE! I felt sorry for the girl who could not breathe and passed out, and the man, I thought he had broken his arm when he landed on it like that. Lord Ya'll I DON"T think I could live through that pace of exercise and on that small amount of food they get, I think it would kill me.
