I really can't stand the guys on the blue team! I don't think I've ever disliked one whole team in any of the previous seasons. All of Jay's crying and carrying on at the beginning of the show was enough to make my stomach turn. I know he misses his brother but come on! Mark just went home. He didn't die! Glad to see Bob help prop Jay up though (NOT!) by volunteering to be a "brother" along with Dan and Roger for him. Ugh, they all just annoy me to no end this season.

I liked the temptation challenge a lot! If you missed it, Alison Sweeney came in and told them all that it was snack time. They then went to a vending machine that was filled with fatty snacks (chocolate candies, peanut butter cups, potato chips, etc.), sugar-free gum with cash awards on the back, or a 1-lb pound pass for the next weigh-in. If they received junk food when they made their selection, they had to eat it before quitting or trying again. If they got the gum, they won the money for it and could quit the challenge or continue on. If they got the 1-lb pound pass, their turn was over.

Every single one of them wound up getting the 1-lb pound pass except for Dan and Kelly. It wasn't for lack of trying though. Dan wound up eating potato chips, chocolate candies, cheese and crackers, Kit Kats, and then got gum. He got gum and gum and more gum for a total of $9,500. He chose to stop after getting his last pack of gum and forget about the 1-lb pound pass. Kelly got a Twinkie, then peanut butter cups, then Oreos, and finally Kit Kats. She decided not to go on because she felt she wouldn't be able to keep all that junk down. Jay and Maggie were the luckiest in that they didn't have to eat anything at all. They both got their 1-lb pound pass on their first try. It sucked for me because I was hoping Jay would have to eat like Dan did.

Because Bernie was the Biggest Loser last week, he had the ability to choose from one of the three envelopes on the hill. He chose the gameplay envelope which had in it the ability for him to give immunity to any player (besides himself) on any team for the week. As soon as I saw that, I knew instantly who he'd give it to and you probably did too. Brittany of course!

After getting checkups and results on their weight loss to date at the hospital, it was time for a challenge. There was this huge ravine they had to zipline across while gathering flags. Each person had five minutes to gather 14 flags and at the end of the competition, the team with the most flags would get the chance to become fighter pilots for a day. Now that is a prize I'd love to win! Bernie did a great job for his blue team and got all 14 of his flags but unfortunately his fellow team members weren't able to do the same. The black team lost yet again.

At the weigh-in, Alison dropped the bomb on them before they all weighed in. No more teams -- they're competing as individuals for the duration of the show starting right then. Most of them were really happy about being singles now, especially Kelly and Jay. Brittany, the first to hop on the scales because she'd been given immunity by Bernie for the week, lost 5 pounds for a total of 47 pounds. After the others weighed (Roger has lost 100+ now), it was Bernie and Kelly below the yellow line.

Brittany was understandably upset. She and Bernie were the last "couple" remaining in the house and now he might go home after giving her immunity. By the way, if he hadn't given Brittany immunity it would have been her and Kelly below the yellow line. The former members of the black team voted for Kelly to go home at the elimination ceremony but the blue team stuck together and voted out their biggest threat -- Bernie.

I was so sad to see Bernie go home! I wish weepy washy Kelly would have gone home this week. She probably wasn't even smart enough to see through the bullpoop that Roger/Jay/Dan were feeding her before the ceremony. She's a bigger threat than Bernie? Puh-lease! It was good to see that Bernie has gone on and continued to lose weight. He'd lost a total of 88 pounds on campus and now has lost 108. He's not looking bad at all if I do say so myself!

So what did you think of this week's episode? Next week's sounds really good! I didn't see the preview (was there one?) but some snooping around online led me to this, "It's down to the six final contestants, but not for long. In a shocking twist, all fourteen of the players eliminated so far return to the ranch and surprise the six. At the weigh-in, the scale reveals how the eliminated contestants have done on their own at home, and the man and woman who have lost the most weight get to the return to the game." Very interesting!
