LAST EDITED ON 11-24-11 AT 10:05 AM (EST)

I’m not a fan of the temptation challenges. I can’t believe that Becky pushed Sunny into eating. And Sunny ended up not winning anything. Based on the statistics, Vinny needed immunity the most because he’s still in last place. Good thing he got it. I liked the Cybex prize the best. Yeah, the 3# advantage is helpful for the week you’re in, but the Cybex gym is a prize that lasts a lot longer.

I’m trying to figure out if I’m being manipulated by the editing, but I still feel like I’m pulling for John. I’m not sure I believe the reason John gave for not celebrating his weight loss. I like his reason – “I’m working hard because I took someone else’s spot in this competition.” – but I’m not sure that’s the only thing making him move. Something else is still going on. Will we ever find out?

John’s edit was a little negative with both Bob and Dolvett talking about how John will probably end up gaining all his weight back and then with everyone talking about John’s gameplay. I tend to get more annoyed with gameplay when it’s used to keep slackers and get rid of strong players, so I wasn’t too upset that John used that 1# disadvantage to his own advantage. It kept him above the yellow line the one week he had a bad week. To me, this is supposed to be a weight loss show, not a show about winning $250,000. And it's not like Antone and Vinny are innocent when it comes to gameplay, either. So it was kind of annoying that Antone was such a hypocrite at the elimination.

I still have to watch the second hour and I can't wait to see how Ramon looks, but here are the statistics:

ETA: I just watched the 2nd hour and I never thought I'd be saying this: Ramon looked hot! Wowza!

Vinny 3.28% (4.18% with 3# adv.)
Becky 2.75%
Sunny 2.42% (1.93% with 1# disadv.)
Antone 2.36%
Ramon 1.83%
John 1.61% (1.94% with 1# adv.)

Sunny 27.08%
Antone 25.95%
