You're gone Red.

I finished the Biggest Loser episode last night.  For the most part I thought it was a little boring...I mean, cool enough that they got to go to the Olympic training center in Colorado, but I got tired of watching all the nutrition stuff.  And you could almost see the contestants salivating at that huge pasta dinner for the guy that was trying to gain weight.  I felt bad for them...what was the point of that?!

The biggest news was that Melissa on the red team was eliminated.

WOOT.

But...she got that way because she gained a pound.

A POUND.

She lived at the biggest loser ranch and GAINS a pound?  I don't understand it, but here's what I really think happened.  I can't quite remember last weeks episode, but I think I remember that her husband had a bad weigh in - he lost like four lbs or something.  So, I think that she threw her weigh in.  I don't think she was willing to risk Lance going home when he needs to be there - I mean, his job depends on it right?

Anyways, here's how I see it playing out...there's a red line, someone has to go home without a vote.  Melissa knows that Lance had a bad weigh in and she NEEDS him to come home a healthy weight so he can pass the physical at his job.  She also misses her kids...so she intends to only lose 1-2 pounds, but blows it and gains a pound...enough to be PO'd about...I'd cuss too.  And she goes home...but her final plea is that Lance stay and not come home before 250.  I have to hand it to her...she's not thinking of herself, she truly wants/needs her husband to come home lighter and fit for his job.  So, in that case, bravo Melissa, well played.

Oh and the elimination challenge?  Ugh!  Torture!  In one way it's great - it's an elimination challenge to do the eliminating, I don't know HOW the contestants would pick when they both appear to be genuine nice people.   The only reason it sucks is that we have to wait until next week to see the results!  Looks like next week is blue vs black...so I suppose I'll actually have to pick individuals for my top 3 next week.

My top 3:  Michael - white team, Orange team, Pink team.
