While I understand not everyone would have gone through every page of the contract, I find it difficult to believe that NO ONE had. I realize that bringing everyone back happened later in the season than everyone was expecting, but when people started making a fuss, someone should have said, "Yeah, and...? It was written in the contract, we all knew it was coming."

I guess after having had to split up week 1 and the continuous turns, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. But two (one?) weeks before the end of the ranch time it seems like you could have sucked it up for a little bit longer. But I think once they had all talked about quitting, Mark and Buddy probably felt like backing down would make them look weak, so they just decided to go home.

I wonder how Jeremy feels about all of the times he helped Conda out, and now she beats him at the end? And how did they all have double digit weight loss in week 16???

Like another poster said, I laughed when Conda said her morals were "what makes me feel good." Well, actually, I wanted to cry. But it does explain some stuff.
