I wasn't a fan of last night's episode. I hate that they had to rate each player based on whether they "deserved" to be there. Not surprisingly, there was obvious game playing going on. "John's in the lead? He doesn't deserve to be here."

And speaking of John, I think he's still got some skeletons in his closet. Dolvett opened up to him with a lot of personal stuff and John seemed unmoved. Although, I thought the whole thing was obviously set up and seemed a little forced.

Either they didn't use Apolo Ohno to their best advantage or the editing just didn't show his full impact. But I have to admit he inspired me and I bumped up my treadmill speed a little more when Apolo was running with Vinnie.

Ramon is really getting on my last nerve. He's so cocky and annoying.

I wasn't surprised that Bonnie fell on her sword and asked to be voted out. She finished her mile in almost 30 minutes. That's a rate of a little over 2 mph, which is incredibly slow. Without Dolvett or any other trainers pushing her, she really has a hard time pushing herself. I was surprised that she lost an additional 22 pounds at home, going down to 186. I thought the caption on the screen said that she hopes to be down to 180 at the finale. I don't understand that (unless I read it wrong).

As usual, the statistics show a different story than the editing. They made it seem like Antone and Ramon had a good week and that John struggled, yet John had a better weight loss than both of them. Ramon and Vinny are now at the bottom of the pack and John has a pretty significant lead. I expect that they will vote John out soon as part of their game play.
