<p>So apparently if they choose one of the mystery trainers they get 4 weeks of immunity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd go for it.</p>

So they're going for the game play right off the bat?</p>

<p>40 lbs in one week? I can't imagine.</p>

 

[willrun4chocolate]

<p>I wonder what was up with the guy that lost 7.  That is pretty much unheard of for a man the first week of the show.  At least he won't have to worry about the week 2 curse. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am not understanding the immunity thing.  So basically in 4 weeks, bob and jillian will be down to two teams?  I bet they have some kind of challenge where the prize if bob and jillian win is no voting off.  I know they have a plan, but it just doesn't make sense. </p>

 

[willrun4chocolate]

<p>Ok, they'll only be without 4 people not 4 teams.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I actually think that both Aqua Courtney and Blue dude that is 507 will be at a disadvantage when people take the "he has proven he can do it at home" as both of them have both lost 100 lbs on their own. </p>

<p>D'Kid and I watched it ... Two interesting questions from her:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Do you HAVE to be gay to be a professional trainer?"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"We watch this to see who's gonna turn out to be the hot chick don't you?" [Green Team Jen, perhaps?]</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOTD - Week One</strong>: "Asking Jillian not to yell is like asking the grass not to grow, the fish not to swim, or the lion not to roar"</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Runner-Ups</strong>:</p>
<p>"How far is a 5K? That's like 13 miles, right?"</p>
<p>"Somebody lost a kindergartner!" "More than a kindergartner--a kindergartner plus a bull dog!"  </p>

<p>Who plays the BL drinking game?  If I heard "in Biggest Loser History" one more time last night it ws gonna drive ME to drink. gawd.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got this in an email today, because I've run a Ragnar Relay before I'm on their list. Anyone want to try and win a spot on the Biggest Losers Ragnar Relay So Cal Teams?  4 spots are open!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ragnarrelay.com/biggestloser" target="_blank">http://www.ragnarrelay.com/biggestloser</a></p>
<p> </p>

 

[BigGahoona]

<p>AND, I did NOT eat ice cream while watching BL last night.  That might be a first.</p>

 

[Tech Tee]

<p>OK, I watched it off an on.  Actually fell asleep at the end, so I don't know who got voted off.  Don't spill, I'll watch it tonight online.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My question, though.  Did we ever actually SEE the other trainers?  Do we know what their names are?  I heard them tooting their own horns, and saw them quickly from the side when they were training the other group.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, did they actually show the weigh in of the other group?  All I saw was black-and-white clips during the Bob and Jillian weigh in.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[BigGahoona]

<p>Nope, never saw them. We still don't know who they are.  But I bet you could google up womens 2x Golden Gloves champ and find out, couldn't you?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They showed the "Unknowns" team that lost the most weight and the individual that lost the most weight but that was it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did I hear this correctly? Next week, if the Bob and Jillian team beats the other team in the weigh in then NOBODY from the Bob and Jillian team goes home?  I think that is what I heard.</p>

</div>
<br><br><p> So what's that all about?  I can understand still not seeing the trainers.  But why don't we see the weigh in?  That's dumb.  But, then again, no one ever accused the producers of being smart.</p>

Poking around on the innernetts it's <em>rumored</em> that they are Cara Castronova, a Golden Glove champion, and Brett Hoebel, a celebrity trainer and creator of Rev Abs</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I can neither confirm nor deny that at this time, Senator</p>

<p>Wonder if Castronova (if that's who it is) will take over for Michaels when she leaves.<br>

<p>"I need somethin' for my leg, man."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Yeah, I'm gonna give you something for your leg, it's called the treadmill.  Enjoy."</p>
<p> </p>

 

[Tech Tee]

<p>Did anyone think "Aqua Team Hunger Force" when Ali said, "Aqua Team, it's time for your weigh in"</p>

 

[willrun4chocolate]

<p>I saw the preview that said if Bob and Jillian's team beats the unknowns next week no one goes home, but it looked to me like they told them that the day of the weigh in next week.  I wonder if they started the week knowing that or ended their week learning that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also wonder what kind of game play is going on with 4 weeks of immunity.  Ya gotta know that week 4 they will water load so that they have huge numbers the next week. </p>

 

[jebba]

<p>Just watched it today.  It seemed like the production values were a little lower this time.  Not complaining, but it seemed more slapped together than usual.  I really like the yellow guy- the friend of the olympian.  I just a kick out him.</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>It was interesting to say the least. It always takes me a few weeks to get into a season. i do not think it is game playing to take 4 weeks immunity, i think it is smart.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>randmart, thanks for the commentary </p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p>Arthur dancing was my favorite part. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Granted, I only got to see about 15 minutes of it this week. But still.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and I really like Ali's hair at the weigh in.</p>
