LOL Gayle!! What made you cry?
I started balling when Tara crossed the finish line. I actually had to go into the bathroom so DH and DD didn't see me!!
Commercials over, I gotta go. Can't miss the weigh-in...

Melissa, I'm sitting in my living room with my laptop AND my TV in front of me so I can do both the boards AND watch! LOL
I was just crying from them going HOME! That was, what, the first 5 minutes of the show? LOL Such a sap! ANd then I cried again when they all finished their run.
Let's see which team wins the weigh in!

Now that's multi-tasking Gayle. Great idea! I run back to the office on every commercial!!!
I missed the first 5 minutes so I was confused when they were running with all those people. I didn't realize they went home!! Of course, I did tear up when they had to leave home and go back to the ranch.
I hope Kristen losses the 3 lbs she needs to be the first woman to lose 100 lbs on campus....GO KRISTEN!!!!

I bawled like a baby tonight esp. when David cried . I am liking Ron and his son more and more each episode, wish his other son could join too. I am happy Ron finally hit double digits. Felt bad for Tara, Kristen. Kristen's Mom looks great though . Happy Sione and Felipe aren't doing so great after the way they treated Jillian. And finally, way to go Laura. She did awesome!

When you really look at what you said here, with typo intact, this is really really funny!

Ditto! I think even DH sniffled a bit, though he puts on like he's not watching.
Hopefully Mikey can inspire him (the brother, not DH ) I would be so OK with Mikey winning, he seems like a good egg. I like Tara too but if she is really over-training and freaking out she's gonna sink herself fast.WTH was up with Helen and the cookie?? What was the point of THAT?

Ripley, like you, I'm really starting to like Ron. You have to give this man some credit....he's in sad and bad shape and is VERY limited with what he can physically do, but he's LOSING! And his son......Ron and his DW did something VERY RIGHT with raising thing boy....you can see it in his EYES that he's "a good egg"!

Didn't watch it but know who got kicked off
I'll watch it in its entirety this weekend, but I know who got voted off. WHAT'S UP WITH BOB'S TEAM?????? He doesn't have a very good record at producing winners, and the current season seems dismal for him, too. However, Cathy's daughter may do OK in the end. I sure hope Ron grows on me this episode, because I wanted him to be gone up to this point.

Ron grew on me because he is such a good father! The love between him and his son is so wonderful to watch. Plus, he has battled weight for so LONG and he is trying. Like his DS said he only has one knee and one shoulder to work with.
Laura is growing on me too (must be the name lol). She is so cute and happy. I was so happy she lost that much weight at home. Tara is losing it! Hope she can find a happy place :0
I am addicted to this show. Love the fact that I record it so I can get through all the commercials though!

I was home alone watching last night's episode so I could cry freely. And I did. In fact by the end of the episode I had a headache from crying so much. I love BL because it is mostly really good people who are working very hard to improve their lives. I loved the last two weeks when it comes to elimination people are so considerate of each other. The world would be a great place if everyone were so considerate of everyone else.

OMG seriously with that, Tara is a better person than me, I would have been super peeved. I mean come on, Helen is doing great, but did she really think she would come close enough to the top scores for it to matter anyway, so she just took away $10,000 from Tara for absolutely nothing. Could Helen have just said nothing?? I'm not sure. But I hate that kind of stuff, Tara took that race fair and square, it would have made more sense to me if the second place person only had the option to use it, but seriously, what was the point of that??
I like Helen but that was real expensive cookie. Nevertheless, I think the experience was priceless for Tara. It gave her self confident that she can tackle the world if she puts her mind to it. Her mother said she is hero to her. Man, I will do anything to be called that by my mom. I just hope Tara stays strong.

Yeah, peeved is putting it mildly. This is why I couldn't do a show like this, I have a low tolerance for general stupidity and would have made some catty unkind remark about her hair or something and then everyone would hate me and I'd get voted off the island, er, ranch.
Yes, I am a grown-up.

I'm starting to think Helen is a snake! She should have gone home, but she managed to get her daughter sent home instead. When the mom left last night it showed what a "real mom" would do for her daughter. Helen seems to really ham it up for the camera too. I doubt she really believed she would get the best time in the half-marathon, so why did she sabotage Tara (one of her own team members)? I think she just wanted an excuse to eat the cookie, just like last week when she instigated their binge night.
Sorry for the rant!

Babybird - Re: your mom
I don't know how old you are or if you have kids, but I can tell you from experience with my own kids and their traumatic childhood with an abusive alcoholic father - you can create for your own kids the childhood that you missed by vowing to be the mom to them that you wished you had. How ironic that this was in Dear Abby today:
SUCCESS
You can use most any measure
When you're speaking of success.
You can measure it in fancy home,
Expensive car or dress.
But the measure of your real success
Is the one you cannot spend.
It's the way your kids describe you
When they're talking to a friend.
