I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned Matt should have been eliminated this week. He is taking this incredible, amazing experience and treating it like it is nothing! How dare he GAIN! 12 pounds. I look forward to his elimination from this game, hopefully sooner than later.

YEAH!!!! How dare Matt have a goal in life other than simply not being fat. How dare he actually play the game he's invovled in. He has an exercise bike for crying out loud, that's more than enough to pay off his morgage and put his kids through college. What a jerk thinking about more than just himself.
oh my heck, stupid sarcasm lock button

No one is eliminated for doing what some (and obviuosly you) think is stupid. Matt is playing a game and I think was a good thought. I think gaining 12 pounds was a little out of hand and not what he expected but if he really watches what he eats and works out this coming week he could easily lose the most weight and guarantee another week of help from the personal trainers.

Holyoak, I couldn't agree with you more. I think Matt had a lot of nerve gaining 12 pounds (aka stuffing this face for a week) because he had immunity and knew he could not be eliminated. Then he lost 26 pounds the following week, which I thought was an insane amount for one week. I still say this show is not being played on an even playing field, i.e. having the guys against the gals. It's common knowledge men lose faster and with larger numbers than women do, which makes the game wholly unfair. If a woman wins (could only be Andrea) would be because of all her manipulation of the men.
Matt has always struck me as a volcano waiting to erupt. He always comes off as looking so angry and ready to bite off someone's head. He seems to have lots of issues. I couldn't believe how juvenile he acted the night that the scale didn't reflect a loss for him, and he walked out of the room in a huff. Oh puleeeezzzz.....grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Matt applied a technique for long term dieters called "refeed". It's an interesting concept that works for some people. People who are trying to lose a large amount of weight often plateau. In order to break this plateau, they eat far more calories than they have been. They usually do this for a few days then go back to their eating plans. It often gives a dramatic weight loss and breaks the plateau. However the risk in this, is the chance you take that you will re-trigger your old eating habits and not be able to stop and go back to weight loss.
This said, I don't think Matt knew about this technique and just wanted to stuff his face. I think he was surprised at the amount of weight he gained. It should show him that if he ever goes back to his old eating habits the weight will fly back on and more too.
