The first hour was kind of slow. It picks up slightly

I totally missed the first hour. Can't say that I'm disappointed by that.

The half marathon thing was good, the rest was the typical return home and go to a restaurant when you shouldn't then worry about it.

LOL, that's funny, because I just attended a lecture on nutrition and how to handle eating out.

The product placement things are irritating to me too. Ok, I get it Extra gum sponsors TBL. Doesn't mean chewing it will help you loose weight. And then all of the powder drinks and the book, menu and meal ads. ugh!

Although I do think it's fine for Jillian to write her books or do her DVD (or whatever she's done) and go on talk shows to promote it but I don't like the ads on the show. people will think that they can loose 10 pounds a week because they are drinking a shake or following a meal plan.

Oh, and I was surprised that Aubrey stayed. I wonder what would have happened if ROn wouldn't have and ammunity. I'm ready for him to go home. I think the blue team made a mistake to send Dane home and they are paying for it now. It's probably time for a little shuffle in the teams again with it being 3 vs 6.

Tuxes must be for Ejole's wedding.


I have this to say on trainers and it begins way back with Kim. A trainer is there to train and advise on weight loss. A trainer's only input into gameplay is getting their team to work their hardest and eat properly. Once a trainer makes comments on who needs to go home and who should stay, they have crosses a line.
Kim did it when she threw what's her name under the bus (Amy?) in the first season Ali was on. I can see why Amy switched to Jillian and then Kim was wondering why it happened. Could be that when trainers gameplay, they lose the confidence of the other players.
Bob has been increasingly gameplayie over the past couple of season and this year he's really stepped over the line, not only with advising who should and shouldn't go home, but with all the crying jags and not maintaining a professional relationship with his team. When the shake up came, he should have encouraged his former team members to give Jillian a chance and not acted like they had all just been given a death sentence. How has it served his team well? The cousins can't train with Jiillian and they aren't losing weight with him. As much as I used to love Bob, he needs some time away from the show to get his integrity and professionalism back.

I have to run but I'll be back to discuss Jillian

Ok, so now on to Jillian.

I find her less into gamesmanship but she has crossed the line on a few ocassions. She does have her favorites but to give her some credit, she trains them all.

I've always wondered if Kim was not brought back because of what happened with Amy. I really hope the trainers go back to training and stop being Sevengalis

I totally agree with you, Erica. I'm am almost convinced that if Jillian were training Ron he would either be doing better or would have been voted off already. Bob encourages an atmosphere of gameplay and complacency and an attitude of "it's not my fault."

This is one show I hate the gameplay on. It should be on the merit of the person's weight loss, not who is going to let others be winners. If you can't win this by losing the most weight, you shouldn't be the winner.

Although last year, Heba lost more weight than Michelle. However it was her game play that kicked her in the bootie.

Reminder, the show will be on an hour later this Tuesday as my president is giving an address to the nation at 8. We need to talk to him about doing those on a slow tv night. ;)

It's on two hours

And don't you just LOVE a president that starts and finishes on time. I can't remember the last time that happened.

What's going on is that the blue team sucks so bad, you are back to individuals again

And I'm sure Jillian will be relieved that you are officially with Bob.

Oh happy day! Does this mean we don't have to listen to people whine about who is training them?

I'd die laughing if they all picked Jillian but alas, it won't happen and we will have Bob boo hooing all over the place.
