LOL Ann!!!

The one thing I noticed about this season that's different about previous seasons, is that on previous seasons, they always managed to "evict" the biggest threat in the game. This season, they always seem to go by "who needs to be here more" and keep them....or volunteer to go home because "someone else needs to be here more than me". I find this season's group to be much more caring and loving towards one another than in previous seasons which always seemed to be more cut-throat. I really felt bad for Nicole, I think she did a great job, but it goes back to the "who needs to be here more?" theory.

ugh - last season was ALL about the game. it drove me insane to watch. the 2 final husband & wife teams made me mad on a weekly basis. im SO glad michelle won last year instead of either of the other teams.

Do not read this if you have not seen the 4/7 episode!


OMG! I can't believe Ron. The man is delusional. He thinks he's the Godfather. If you're not going to follow the rules . . . What rules? It's a competition. People who are cornered in a competition will lie (or, in this case, misdirect is probably a better word) to save their own necks.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the episode has to offer.

Yes, the person who gets the ticket gets the only vote, but if you aren't below the yellow line you don't have to worry about it. Frankly, I'm so glad that Ron or Mike didn't get it. Ron would have used it as a vendetta. And Mike is too much under Ron's influence.But, duh, Laura's idea of Tara intentionally falling below the line is just insane. Thank goodness Tara didn't go for it. Tara's right. This is all about losing weight.

Bob's trainer tip was about getting the abs you want. I have a phenomenal set of abs. They are sheltered by a nice, thick, protective layer of fat. LOL!


Warning! Disturbing overshare alert!
Actually, at this point it's mostly icky extra skin.

Holy Toledo! I could never do that challenge. I'd trip, fall, and hurt myself badly. The only good thing about that challenge is it was a good way to work off what they ate in the temptation.And, again, Ron is a horse's . . . um . . . . patootie.

Well, I'm sorry to see Sione go, but he took it like a man. I really didn't like the look on Ron's face. I hope he's watching this at home and seeing how mean and small his attitude makes him.
 
Ron really ticks me off.

:grumpy::grumpy::grumpy:
 
What bothered me the most of everything that happened today is when Ron turned and told the three of them that had voted against him that he wishes they were struck down and died. I mean are you kidding me? That kind of behavior is so unacceptable and I don't the like the tone this game has taken of being so negative. I always thought the show was to show positive changes and positive attitudes and this just irked me so much. I think Laura was wrong in sending Sione home. Helen can not help get Ron out, Sione had it in him to knock him down. By voting out Helen it would have made Ron still feel vindicated as he said to Bob that Helen convinced the Blue team to vote against him. This would have made things better for a while and they could have worked more closely together to get him out. Now, there is not much hope of getting him out :(

I think some people were shocked by Ron's blatant wish for revenge. It might be easier to get rid of Ron at this point than we think. Of course, from a strictly game-playing point of view Helen would have been a better choice to send home. As Laura said, since Helen's smaller an even number of pounds equals a higher percentage of weight loss. I'm looking forward to seeing the makeovers next week.
 
Darn! I had a show and missed it! Sounds like it was a good one.

If you can watch it online, do. Pay close attention to Ron's facial expressions.
 
It won't be up for 8 days, at least officially. By then I'll have forgotten about it.The advantage to a lot of these reality shows is that the finale is shot/aired long after most of the episodes, after the participants have a chance to watch the other episodes when they air. You KNOW someone will say something to Ron at a reunion show.
 
I missed the part where Ron said that...I too am tired of him.

I also think Laura made a mistake in keeping Helen there.....Helen is a bigger threat to Laura than Sione is at this point. I wonder how Mike reacts when he sees what his dad is saying and doing?? I'd be embarrassed if I were him.
 
I was impressed with Sione last night...I think he really "understands" what they are trying to do here: make a lifelong change for them and their families. I hope he comes back at the finale and looks amazing and healthy!

Ron needs to go. Nuff said there.

I was really proud of Kristin for not participating in that temptation...She is another who who TRUELY understands what they are here for. (As in, not just for the game.)
 
I just watched it tonight. I'm so proud of Kristin, she was the only one who "got it" during that temptation. I loved how Bob spoke about her (his little video thing during the weigh-in) and was proud of her.I can't stand Ron. I thought they were dumb all those other weeks keeping him on. He is actually losing some weight lately, but now he is just plain annoying. He was so 2 faced this week. Saying how he thought they had each others backs until last weeks vote. Hellooo?!! What was the whole thing with him trying to get ride of Filipe the other week. Just irks me so much. Sad thing is that I was really liking Mike, and now his dad's attitude and vengeance is rubbing off on him. It's really sad to see that.

I think Mike's so concerned about his dad's health that he's blinded to Ron's arrogant, vindictive behavior.

I think you're right......who really wants to believe their parents could be that way?
 
um helloooo? why is helen still there??
if i had the power to vote someone off & it came down to sione & helen, i would get rid of the person who tried convincing me to turn on my own partner. i cant stand the game-playing! helen has got to go.

Amen!! I thought for sure that Helen would be going home when she tried talking Laura into getting rid of Tara. UGH!

I have NO respect for anyone who would throw their own child under the bus to save themselves......her daughter needed to stay worse than Helen did.

LOL!:D


I think though, that Helen and Ron are cut from the same cloth. I'd like to see them both go. I sincerely hope neither of them wins!

ive been saying that since the beginning. ive disliked helen from day one when her daughter went home for the 30 days, instead of her.

Do not read this if you have not seen the 4/14 episode!The makeovers were good. They toned Helen's blond down. I wonder how much she balked at the idea of cutting it, since it seems that they simply trimmed it up. I have to think there's a more flattering cut for her.Ron looks better without that scraggly beard. I like beards, as evidenced by The Furry Guy. But, you should be able to grow a decent, full beard in order to keep one. The others got good makeovers. I have to say, though, that Mike clearly doesn't understand what a woman's hair can mean to her. When he was talking with his dad about Laura freaking out a bit, I chuckled. The boy just doesn't get it.

Agree about Helen. I think she must have a special attachment to her hair.

Laura's was the most changed. I didn't recognize her, and it took me a minute to realize it was Laura.

Do not read this if you have not seen the 4/14 episode!I feel so sorry for Laura. Poor thing. She finally got her attitude straightened out and this happens.BTW, love her red hair. Of course, I'm a redhead by choice, so I may be a bit prejudiced.

Do not read this if you have not seen the 4/14 episode!I yell and yell at the tv for Ron to shut up, but he doesn't listen. It's not that I don't think it's a good idea to send Laura home. (She needs to convalesce and do therapy with a trained therapist.) It's just that the man seems so doggone insincere--especially since he's the one who's had such difficult health issues all along.

Do not read this if you have not seen the 4/14 episode!I'm so glad Laura's getting some help. She looks great. I'm proud of her.It looks like next week will be a really interesting show. I'm looking forward to hearing what Mike has to say to Ron and what his response will be.
 
I was not sorry Laura went home. I really think with her injury, she would be helped better at home. When they talked in a preview about the "devastating injury", I figured it was Tara since she pushes so hard! I would love to see Kristen or Mike win it all since both of them have broke records this time around! Did you see the front cover of "OK Magazine". They "photoshopped" Tara's and Helen's face a little! LOL! I think it was cool how they went back and showed them some of the things that were said at the beginning so they could see how far they had come.Okay...something I would love to see next Season...Mike's little brother/Ron's son to be brought to the Ranch to lose weight. He just breaks my heart! I was in tears seeing him tonight. Max has been raised in a family that has fought weight their whole lives...except the Mom and she is gorgeous!

I totally agree about both these things. Laura would have hurt herself if she had stayed there.....you can't be there and see how hard everyone else is working and not do anything yourself. I just don't think it would be possible.

As for Max..............every time I see how helpless he looks I just want to cry. It is so hard to see that. I know he wasn't able to be on the show because of his age but I feel it should have been he and Mike instead of Ron. Ron has had so many chances already - and this is coming from me who has always been heavy and has had the gastric bypass and still need to lose over 100lbs. - and I just don't appreciate his attitude toward the others most of the time.
