Wow.  What an episode.  I was so moved by Migdalia’s struggle to deal with her emotions.  I have a similar struggle but not to that extent.  I couldn’t believe how angry she got and how she just wouldn’t talk.  She could have said anything but she couldn’t handle how it made her feel so she completely shut down.  When she was thinking of quitting because of this my heart just broke for her.

I was so proud of her mom though for telling her she needs to open up and work with Jillian.  That must have been a hard thing to do but she did it.  She was so encouraging when they were sitting at the table.  What a great mom.

I was mad at Bob though because he told Jillian to be mean and tough and then went in and totally ignored everything Jillian was fighting for and just told her to come back.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m really glad she’s staying but I felt like he could have at least encouraged her in a gentle way to express her feeling and not bottle them up.

And what about Michael.  He was totally messing around.  I’m so mad at him for having so little motivation to change his life.  He thought he had a pass this week but that came back to bite him in the butt.  Ridiculous.

What happened at the end?  Holy crap.  Melissa only loses one pound.  And then both Bob and Jillian jump all over her.  I thought it was awesome but how is next week going to be in the gym?  I thought she got caught in a lie two weeks in a row but she was too proud to admit it.  It’s been done in the past.  We’ve seen it before.  Everyone knows what’s going on.  Just fess up.

What do you think?  Did Melissa throw the weigh in?

Did you see how thin that balance beam was they had to walk across?  I’m amazed any of them even finished the challenge.  It would have been ridiculously hard for me to do and I’m not carrying around 100 extra pounds.

When Maria fell down my initial reaction was that it couldn’t have been that bad but wow, she really got hurt.  I was shocked at how much blood was coming out of her.  Knowing that she was injured I was amazed at how much weight she lost.  Incredible.

And I guess Maria was a main focus of the show this week but if she was really that scared of water, which it sure seemed like she was, doggy paddling across the pool is crazy.  I don’t know how much time they were actually in the pool before she did that but it was less than a day at least.  That’s a huge thing to do.

It came to the end and I didn’t really care again who went home.  It sure seems like Patti really took care of everyone though.  And I saw that her goal was to be off her meds by the finale and have no diabetes.  That would be awesome.  I like that she’s looking at it from a health point of view.

Any favorites yet?

I’m glad this show is having so much success but I’m a little thrown off by the back to back seasons.  That being said I still enjoy watching the show so it’s not that big a deal.

The show started off with hometown weigh ins which I would imagine would be horrifying.  I didn’t think so at first because their initial weigh ins even at the ranch will be televised and millions of people will watch but I talked to my husband about it and he convinced me that a live audience of your peers would be super intimidating.  At least at the ranch you only see twenty or so people who are all in the same situation that you are.

The first two couples voted off and then given a second chance in a month was no surprise.  Of course they’re not just going to ship off two couples the first day.  It’s hard though when people go home and then come back because I have no attachment to them and therefore don’t really care if they stay or not.

So the half ton twins got split up.  Well, unfortunately that’s all I have to say about that because I’m not attached to anyone yet.  I think it will be a great season and we’ll see some incredible weight loss.

Did you pick any favorites last night?
