1. "Balance" |
It really is all about balance. Loved those spots with Jillian, Tara and Helen. I loved this "you can have that glass of wine, just don't eat 1200 calories worth of lasagna and garlic bread with it!".I voted for Mike to go to the finals. I'm sure everyone else in America did too. They definitely did a nice soft edit on Ron for this. I even had tears in my eyes for him when he crossed the finish line. But I just hope he didn't do more damage to his knee that can't be undone, by being so stubborn. But I do applaud his will to continue. Max needs professional help. He said it himself, when Dad and Mike talk all I hear is "blah blah blah". But he listened to Bob. My Personal 3Day Page

2. "RE: 5/5/09 Episode" |
I actually watched more than I thought I would. Kudos to Helen and Tara for finishing. That was awesome. And to Mike and Ron as well. I was so proud of Ron. And it was nice having ex cast members there. When Mike hurt his hip, I was so afraid he might have suffered a stress fracture. Glad he didn't. While I was so proud of them, I thought the idea of the marathon was probably the worst idea they've had. Especially in light of what happened to Laura. I knew Mike was going to fall below because I saw that shot of his confessional in the previews last week. I am absolutely voting for Mike, and I hope he wins. I don't think Helen needs to be any smaller. I don't know if Tara's head can survive her being any smaller. Speaking of heads, there were some odd camera shots last night. Tara's head would look normal in one shot and then really big in another. And Helen. When she was sitting at the ranch in her pink clothes, her shoulders and body looked to be about 5 feet wide, while her head looked really, really tiny on top. It was just strange. I think I like Ron better with the beard. He should grow the beard back. Samboobree, brought to life by Arkie

My DVR turned off just as Mike was crossing the finish line. How long did it take? What happened next? Was it a 2 or 3 hour episode? There was a weigh-in?Thanks for any help.

2-hour show.Mike finished in about 8 hours. Ron in 13. There was a weigh-in. I can't remember the weights. Tara needed to lose 7, but lost 10, I think. Helen lost 7. Mike and Ron both lost 10 I think. Ron and Mike fell below. Samboobree, brought to life by Arkie

Long winded episodes require long winded comments.Helen: looks so much older after the weight loss. Terrible to say it, but her round face was prettier than her skinny one. In the pics with her daughter at the beginning they could pass for sisters easily. Something about Helen's voice annoys me. When they go back to the clips they made of her before the ranch, she doesn't sound like that; it's just after she got to the ranch; the tone of her voice sounds so phony. And, she whines a lot. Tara: I'm glad she's proud of herself; apparently she's not used to accomplishments in a long time. I really liked the way she had her hair when she went out with her friends. But I didn't like that she seemed to be blaming them for not telling her she was fat before. Tara deserves to be in the finale; never once below the line (but why do I think I remember her gaining a lb one week?). I think it would be fun to see Tara on ANTM . Ron: Must be hard to take the blame for his sons weight, but he does. Now if he can just stick to the diet & exercise and support Max too. It's obvious he wanted him & Mike to lose weight, but Ron was definitely there for the money too - at least for Mike to win the money. Mike: Hit him hard when he got the injury. Had a sore attitude about not being able to run; but then, he is still young, so attitudes like that are nothing unusual. In a way I'd like to see him win. He could use the money for college and to hire a trainer for Max. Production: The marathon was not a good idea. Even if it was planned long before they knew Ron would be in that group, they should have had a back up plan. Can't believe Jillian & Bob did not know the marathon was in the plans. Can't believe the contestants did not know Jillian & Bob were coming to see them. There were cameras at the gym with Mike, at the restaurant with Helen and at their homes before Jillian and Bob walked in. What? Did camera crews follow them every day for 30 days while they were home? Well, maybe it's possible the cameras showed up now and then just to keep them comfortable with the cameras around. (Tara's mother was so funny when they were cooking & eating; it was like she was playing out a script, but Tara had not read the script - looked like Tara though her mom was acting strange ) Seeing the contestants talk to their "future" selves was neat.

Helen: I think she looks better, but there are moments when she does look old. I think like True has been saying, she needs to cut her hair. Shanon didn't really look different, and I think it's because she really didn't have the drive to do it in the first place.Tara: She did only lose a pound one week, but she wasn't below because there are two below her. I can't even remember when now. Maybe it was the team weigh-in, and Bob's team was below, so Tara got saved by that. I would really like some info on her from her modeling days. I suspect that is the biggest problem that led her to where she was before starting the show. Mike: I didn't think his attitude was that bad, as I have been right there in his shoes twice. When I fell down the stairs in December, I was more upset and depressed about not being able to work out with my trainer than I was about the pain. And when I broke my ankle in 07 from the stress fracture, I was super pissed about not being able to do the 10k, especially since I had gone from nothing to actually running 4 miles in a month. I was surprised that he walked it. Ron: I wonder what it is he does for a living. Samboobree, brought to life by Arkie

9. "RE: 5/5/09 Episode" |
I enjoyed the episode but I'm antsy for the finale so I didn't enjoy it as much as I normally would have.I was so glad to hear Jillian talk about balance in living their every day lives. Helen was so stressed about everything. That actually could end up back-firing on her if she doesn't get it in hand. I really do hope Max gets the help he needs. I hope that having Ron and Mike home pushes him to do it and doesn't have a negative effect on him. I was so glad to see both Bob and Jillian (but especially Bob, at least on camera) work with Max and encourage him. I suspect that Mike will be in the final three. But I think it's almost mean to make them go through this whole time without knowing who it is. (there was snow on the ground so probably at least 3 months) It was neat to see former contestants encouraging the final four as they did the marathon. Sigs by Cyg

Did you see Tara's room? she is messed up!Helen is odd and so is her family. Mike & Ron and family I am conflicted about. I am not rooting for anyone except Kristen to be the at home winner.

19. "RE: Vote for Mike" |
Has there ever been a contestant who has been on this show for 2 season? It seems that they are setting up Max to be on it next time and you know that Ron will gain some back. He is still pretty heavy, so they could have him come back with Max. I don't think that Max is quite as personable as Mike is though and America is kind of over Ron.
