It does NOT seem safe. ...My thoughts exactly, Amy! <br />It does NOT seem safe. And what about the medical reviews that we saw last season? Have they just not gotten to it, yet? Shouldn't that be one of the FIRST things they do, say, before biking 26.2 miles!!! I was yelling at my tv. Felt so sorry for the contestants.<br /><br />Something about the pink team annoyed me. <br />The red team seemed odd, too, like they'd be able to do this on their own.<br /><br />I was so glad the white team did well, and the orange team. Something about the guy from the orange team really has me hoping he makes it to the end. Aside from his adorable hair. ;)<br /><br />Amy, good work exercising during the commercials. I meant to try what they demonstrated, but accidentally deleted it. :(Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828182765416909622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-89194617357519109842010-01-06T21:16:53.791-05:002010-01-06T21:16:53.791-05:00Hey, I got dejavu too with the pink team.

But it was interesting that they were on bikes for the first challenge, I think there was a lot of flack about the mile run last season. <br />No favorites here for me yet.<br />Great review of the show.Jenny McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260376064122225845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-15745907953692112942010-01-06T20:49:40.021-05:002010-01-06T20:49:40.021-05:00Hi, I'm new to this blog, but I love what you ...Hi, I'm new to this blog, but I love what you wrote, thanks. I'm a huge BL fan, my daughters and I watch it together and love it. <br /><br />I have to say that I almost lost my love for the show when they were sending to teams home so soon. I felt so bad for those families and everything they had been through to get there: try out, joy of going, presenting their 'whole' selves in front of so many other people....just to have to turn around and leave! That's too humiliating and just sad. There was some relief that they get to come back in 30 days, but I felt like our emotions were being jerked around.<br /><br />We definitely think romance is to be found this season! We also think that Lance (red team) might get on our nerves after a couple of weeks, we'll see. Just thought the "She's Hot!" comment about Allie was inappropriate since his overweight wife was standing right next to him. <br /><br />Looking forward to this season and your blog, thanks!wendy fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-68344272670938225482010-01-06T17:34:01.978-05:002010-01-06T17:34:01.978-05:00Shelley, they've never done the public weigh i...Shelley, they've never done the public weigh in before. I didn't like it either. Some of the tactics -- like Jillian screaming at people in the gym -- do seem a little cruel. But I guess in my mind I think that sometimes we need to be shaken to see what's really in front of us. I've found that there is also a lot of compassion and true concern on the show as well.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12547679169487196540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-33307266299855032302010-01-06T09:24:24.429-05:002010-01-06T09:24:24.429-05:00This was the first season that I haven't picke...This was the first season that I haven't picked out someone who just really got on my nerves or that I knew was going to be trouble!

Watching everyone get weighed in front of their entire towns was a big, big turnoff for me. Why humiliate people who are already in a bad, bad place? You don't achieve such levels of overweight with there being ISSUES involved and it was just cruel, IMO, to pile on to what these people are already suffering.<br /><br /> I really hated that and we turned it off. I stay tuned here to see if things get better, though. We still have the DVR set to tape the whole series.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585609641158766024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-63329254536913310162010-01-06T06:25:17.667-05:002010-01-06T06:25:17.667-05:00We tuned in and watched.

I used to think biking was easy- until I started using the stationary bike at the gym and tried riding my own bike around the neighborhood.<br /><br />I thought that bike thing was SO unfair. These people were coming in at different levels of total unfitness. Even with their "2nd chance," it was still unfair, IMO. It hurt the mission of the whole project.<br /><br />I loved Jillian and Cheryl's gym moments. I think Cheryl came in touch with some powerful emotions in there!!Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-70340082503224249142010-01-06T00:06:02.726-05:002010-01-06T00:06:02.726-05:00By this point in my fandom, I'm a little leery...By this point in my fandom, I'm a little leery of so many family teams. There's a lot of baggage that comes along with it, you know? I liked Season 6 Michelle (hey, with a name like that...) but got really tired of her abandonment issues. I hope this doesn't turn out like that. And the Tongans? While I like them, it's too much like Filipe and Sione. They won't have their own story, they'll have F & S all over again.<br /><br />But generally, I like this group.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649345249204364758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933205011038630788.post-69838211882399763432010-01-05T23:18:11.856-05:002010-01-05T23:18:11.856-05:00Hey!

I'm first!!!<br /><br />I got home from my road trip, taking Dani back to college, just in time for the beginning of the show.<br /><br />Those are some big contestants! Was there only one married couple? Funny... I was wondering who was going to be the "bad guys" this season? It usually takes a few weeks for the gloves to come off.<br /><br />It'll also take a few weeks for a favorite to emerge for me. I've been historically not in favor of pink teams in the past. These ladies look scarily like Helen and her daughter from season 7. Some similarities from past seasons ... a set of Tongans, Helen /daughter look alikes.<br /><br /> My kids, fortunately, favor their dad with slim figures and high metabolism. I am all alone in my roundness in my family.<br /><br />The bike ride was ROUGH!!! I"m surprised only one person needed medial assistance.<br /><br />Cheryl cracked me up! She might be a favorite for me. That quiet little mouse became a lioness in the gym! Go Cheryl!!!!<br /><br />I was really happy to see how well James is doing at home. I think he might be the fellow to beat at home!<br /><br />Can't wait to see what the coming weeks bring!Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.com
