The only way this seems fair to the human beings playing the game is that the ones who are going home get placed with trainers. It bites that they won't all get the benefit of having Bob, Jillian, and the help with the diets.

If these people could have done it at home, they would have. It's sending them back in the situation that had them gain weight in the first place. They aren't ready after one week.

Maybe they are bringing Amy back. Was that her name?

They're losing sight of what's important for sensationalized ratings. That is not a good thing.

Yeah this is bull, TBL is finding a new way to ruin itself. NBC is ruining another show I like.

So Ali can't possibly make it all the way through the tapings. What are they doing for a sub host? It'd be pretty cool if they had TBL's TBL Ali fill in.

The real problem here is that they needed to give a couple of weeks at least so people could have couples to root for. This fast, I don't care about any of them, except that poor 19 year old boy. That is simply because he's a baby and it kills me to see someone so young in such disrepair.

I think a lot of the show was taped before the last finale, so I think we will see Ali all the way through.

Colleen, I think we will have the opposite issue--unless we see these people at home, will we care about them when they come back?

You all have valid points. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I hope we get to see these people when they are home. I just don't think this is in the spirit of what the viewers have come to expect. We want to see people succeed. I want to watch their progress and I want them to have every chance to make it happen.

I get why Carla is pushing her friend, but I think putting their friendship on the line is dangerous. So much of this isn't about how well they do. We've seen that.

This is also going to strain relationships if they don't make it back. I knew Jerry would stay but I think it will be hard on him without Stella.

I can't wait to see Bob go off. It must be his silver lady.

I found the tone of the show a downer with so many going home. There was no chance to really celebrate their weight loss, which, as I have repeatedly said over the last two seasons, is the reason people watch the show. They want to feel good.

We spent half the show with the contestants knowing 9 of them were going home.

I think this is a mistake, TBL is going to get a lot of flack for this.

I think it could be ok if the show is going to keep us involved with what the home people are doing and all, but I am afraid that might be logistically impossible and as I said, we won't be as invested in these people.

Okay, I've been watching it for the past couple of hours. I already knew about the at home work (I read it somewhere recently), so it wasn't a shock.

Personally, I like this. The couple thing that they've done in the past few seasons drives me nuts because it excludes the people who might not necessarily have someone that they can do the show with, plus I have my own issues with people who act like being separated from someone for a few weeks is the end of the world. ;)

Anyhow, there doesn't seem to be the vile divas that we had last season, so it's already a better show.
