Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Yeah.. Well they've moved on to new drama as you probably already know. I think the candy had 150 calories though..and I thought it was chocolate.. It was just confusing...

If you saw this weeks episode.. you know that the cruise really bought out the worst in Heather... I couldn't believe she ran through the ship screaming "I need a signature" trying to find the person she was looking for. She was really being nasty and I am sure it was just pressure and stress. She was ready to knock anybody over to get what she needed.. I hope she was thouroughly embarrassed after that aired.. I have a feeling she'll be voted out soon..

The women on the red team tried to knock off one of the guys.. in a concerted effort.. The guys apparently tried to do the same...but the venomous comments from the women made their intentions clear.. The guys all voted for one women and because of the tie... the blue team was able to decide... They didn't vote for either but chose the most productive member of the entire team to knock out.. Good strategy on Blue's part ... Plus it reeked havoc with the red teams moral and the alliances backfired a bit. I think we'll see some carryover next week... Wylie is going to be mad at the women...and Pam mad at the guys.. I have a feeling they won't be able to compete well together on the next challenge or 2... They've disrupted their working relationship with the hostility and having their best person 'picked off' didn't help! Now it might even be harder for them to win the weigh ins.

It will be interesting next week! I'm glad to know more than just Debby and I have been watching the show!

to be able to lose 20 - 30 lbs in 2 or 3 weeks is amazing. they must have them working out 10 hours a day! i have to say if i was the coach of the red team (that's the lady coach??) i would be mad at them too. if they want to complain and refuse to do the excersizes they should kick them off. they have an opportunity that others would trade for in a second. and yes when you have a bad attitude about hard work and are lazy and want to be negative and complaining that does contribute to their weight problems.?

i read something about the girl from last year that almost won. she says she gets up at 4:30am to go to the gym to work out for 2 hours everyday. and she also barely eats anything. it seems unhealthy to me and very extreme. can't there be a balance?

I think the red team was making fun of the yoga exercises and their heart really wasn't into that type of exercise... Or were they doing tai chi...? I don't blame her for getting mad but the comment thrown out there was a bit rude.

As for suzy? I think she looks great! If she can incorporate 2 hours of reasonable exercise a day and at least enjoy the bulk of it then it isn't excessive. It could be divided throughout the day. I don't think she looks underweight at all... But considering where her trouble spots were (she was bottom and leg heavy before) that she probably has to work triply hard to maintain.

I saw a segment right before the season started with her and Matt. (BTW, they married about 2 weeks ago)... If this season was begun last spring or in the summer and that piece was filmed then, Matt looked like he had gained some weight back. Maybe 10-20 lbs... but noticable in his face.. I heard there are picts int he recent People magazine of their wedding...I'll have to check them out. Hopefully after all that hard work both of them will be able to be on top of their weight issues in the future.

It sounds like Suzy has a horrific routine, but, I honestly believe I will have to do that as well to stay thin. It has been the only way I can lose weight, regardless of what I eat. If I work out very heavy like that, I can eat almost like a normal person.

I think they should let the audience vote off the the loser each week. This would prevent people banning together and voting off people who are doing a good job, just because they are your biggest competition.<br><br>Post edited by: Debby, at: 2006/10/09 12:11

I don't think voting off the losers at the end of each show will work. As the show is filmed months in advance before we actually see it in the fall. Besides there are already too many &quot;call in&quot; shows and the audience can be just as bad as the contestants in voting off the wrong people. Case in point Vivica on Dancing with the Stars... the girl was FIERCE but she still got the boot.

I think I agree with that last comment... I hadn't even thought about the fact that the show had been taped and edited some time ago. But there does seem to be something wrong with the way people who can be voted off... Nelson was doing marvelously.... In my book, if they can knock off a considerable amount of weight.. they are winners none the less! While I like the show... I don't like see it becoming a cut throat competition... Some of the girls on the red team clearly have that mentality.

RE: Dancing with the Stars.. Only watched it a few weeks...but was surprised that Springer is still on... I think some of the call in voting can be skewed too... People are voted as a matter of popularity rather than real talent.. Springer should have been gone early on... I think Mario and Joey will battle it out... (popularity wise)... Although Emmet, is quite impressive and considering he's not an entertainer by trade.. might just win the home audience's heart.. But if the younger audience is watching or those whose heart throbbed for Mario and Joey in their hayday..... They probably have the advantage of popularity.

I will be appalled if Springer wins... (sorry, to OT!)
