The family visits seemed nice. They didn’t touch on any drama with any of the contestants. I was so happy there was no Conda drama on-screen this week. I almost thought the editors were trying to get us to love all of the contestants. I hated that they had Buddy, Emily, and Jeremy forced to face food the way they did just to show they weren’t tempted. And that “commercial” that Cassandra did for peanut butter Cheerios was just so fake.

Bob and Dolvett were hysterical at the last chance workout. I was so glad that Chris was okay and that it wasn’t nearly as bad as the editing made it seem. I wasn’t surprised that Chris came in last for the 10,000 meter row, but part of me hoped she would win it. She could really use the money. I was surprised, though, that Cassandra came in 9th place and that Conda beat her by 3 minutes. I was also surprised that Chism won the challenge but only had a loss of 3.75% over 18 days. His dad, Mark, also failed to gain immunity. I wonder what was going on while they were at home. I loved that Mark made a reasoned but impassioned plea to go home instead of Chism. Mark was right, he’s in great shape now but Chism still needed to be there.

When I do my weight loss calculations, I don’t take into consideration any weight gain. In my mind, Conda lost 15 pounds from the previous week. But TBL doesn’t allow her to count that and they go back to her previous weight. If Conda hadn’t had a weight gain the previous week, her 15 pound weight loss would have won the weigh-in for Black. Then Red would have had to choose between Mark and Kim, another stunner because they’ve been at the top of the pack for the last 3 weeks or so.
