I agree with you all the way around Crystal. How can a lady win physical challenges against guys? And you took the words right outta my mouth about Alison's comment. My hat's off to Ali for doing so great losing weight, but of course she's gonna drop tons of weight coming back, because it's such a change in her routine.

This is my first season watching, but I've been told a girl has never won the show is that right? That should tell the producers something right there.

I'm so happy to learn there was no elimanation. I thought maybe alzheimers was setting in because I couldn't remember who got elimanated last night. I didn't have my mind on it 100% but I thought I should've remembered that!

LOL. I was about to have a stroke because I thought my DVR cut off early!

And those guys are so smug.. UGGG, it bugs me. I like Dan, but he can be a smart allick too sometimes and act like "of course we won, we are better" attitude. I wanna say, "no, of course you won, because you're a bunch of men"..

It is odd that BL hasn't adjusted this problem at all and this is what season?? Most shows will adjust for these types of issues.

I'd like to see them base it on the percentage of their Excess Weight Lost instead of just weight lost. That would go a long ways in evening the playing field. Ofcourse it also opens up the whole can of worms of how exactly do you determine what their excess weight is.

I was just saying the other day that they need to have either all women or all men, or AT LEAST start picking smaller men. It's not fair to have a guy with 250 lbs to lose against a woman with 80 lbs to lose. I mean, seriously.

Even if they went by the charts, it would still be fairer to do % of excess weight vs. absolute pounds lost.

Okay we got to see 2 players eliminated last night -- Maggie right up front and then at the end we saw Brittany get the boot. Everyone looked great with the makeover that Macy's and the runway guru Tim Gunn did with them. Jay and Mark sure are emotional at getting to see their wives. Mark was just home so how homesick can he be and they've had a few different things now where contestants got to go and do fun outings and see family. Dan looked great with his punky haircut.

Having watched Jillian's face last night during the weigh off at the end again, she was so bummed to see Brittany fall below the line with one of the Blue team guys because she was pretty sure they'd vote for Brittany and that's how it went down.

It does feel like they are extending the show or stretching things, they show the same clip, go to a commercial, then come back and show that same clip again before moving ahead. Really trying to fill the air time I guess.

I think I have said this before, but there is something so odd about Mark and Jay and all of their boohoo'n. Gimme a break Mark, you were just home!

I am sad to see Brittany go. She works her tail off and lately the scale sure has not been her friend. how dissapointing!! I know we most likely will not see one of the women win, but I get bummed when they get booted off anyway! How come Alli voted for Brittany?

Dan sure has become full of himself... kind of annoying. But he does look better with out the long hair I think.

Why am I so addicted to this silly show?!?!?!

Maybe Mark needs to be on medication. SHEESH! Was he gone a week from home? Bet when he sees these shows he just cringes.

I think Ali voted for Brittany because of everyone voting her and her mom off before. Though, I can't remember which members voted the pink team off....?

I love Ali, I love Brittany, too. Those are my two favorites. I hope Ali takes it (even though I think it's going to be a guy) and Brittany wins the 2nd prize.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
