Woo hoo! My electricity was restored tonight! So after dinner I went right to NBC to watch TBL.

I also like the way they chose new trainers. I was a little put-off by all the whining about losing their trainers. Joe, in particular, was such a whiner. I mean, really, STFU, but I was glad to see him apologize to Anna later on.

I thought it was interesting that just before they did the challenge, Jess said "I love you, Ramon" and he said, “I know.” Jeez, how romantic, buddy.

Dolvett treated John and Bonnie almost like children. But he was so supportive with both of them. I’ve been waiting for John’s emotional breakthrough and I think it’s cool that Dolvett also recognizes that John needs to open up. I thought it was funny when he was so mean to Bonnie but she sucked it up, but when Anna pushed her she whined that Anna hated her.

I liked the slip & slide challenge. I felt bad watching the blue team trying to figure out who had immunity because I knew the statistics before I started watching the episode. I knew they didn't need it. I also felt bad for the black team because they came so close to winning the challenge, but they didn't need it either.

I think it's interesting how much bigger the numbers were this week compared to last week. What happened last week? What happened this week?

Vinny and Bonnie are still at the bottom of the pack. I really wish they would step it up some more. John is still in first place overall. I wonder why he feels it's so important to carry his team and lose so much weight. Fortunately for him, his desire to do well saved him. The top four people are all from Bob's original team. That should make him feel better since his new black team didn't win the weigh-in.

A note about my statistics: Sunny gained 5 pounds last week. TBL starts with the previous week's weight so that the contestant doesn't have an advantage from the gain. However, as far as I'm concerned, if the person had a gain, they have to lose it and I calculate it in my statistics.

This week:

Sunny 6.03% (3.88% if you remove the gain)
Becky 5.42%
Ramone 5.30%
Joe 5.24%
John 4.36%
Antone 4.34%
Jessica 3.83%
Vinny 3.27%
Bonnie 3.07%

To date:

John 26.07%
Joe 22.13%
Sunny 21.30%
Antone 21.03%
Jessica 20.87%
Ramone 19.44%
Becky 19.33%
Vinny 16.67%
Bonnie 12.99%
