1. "RE: May 18" |
I knew from the commercial who had gained the two pounds because of Tivo slo-mo.  I saw the opening sequence. I thought they all looked really good then. I saw them go home and weigh in. I went to sleep at that point. I watched this morning to cofirm it was Daris.

I thought Jillian was spot on to call him on his bullsh!t. If he lies to everyone, including himself, he's going to be one of those that goes back home and gains it back. I said, good for her for calling him out on his bs.

3. "The Marathon" |
I've never been a runner but....
Michael, Ashley & Daris all looked to have very good form while running - back straight, shoulders back, arms in rhythm.Koli looked like a rag puppet from the moment he took off. His arms were flapping, his shoulders were hunched & rolling from side to side. His running form was very bad! No wonder he seemed to be having so much breathing trouble. Editing made it appear that he was keeping up with Daris to a degree; that Michael & Ashley were way way behind Koli & Daris. They showed Mike & Ash walking now and then; but only showed Koli running (if you could call it that) & him constantly saying he wasn't gonna walk. But in the end - tho I couldn't see the timer clearly - it appeared that Koli finished at 6 hrs 6 minutes?
and Michael & Ashely finished at 6 hrs 26 minutes.

I think Daris showed two common problems of people who are overweight.1. Eating for comfort. He told us in his video diary at home that he was eating to ease the anxieties of the marathon and losing weight at home. 2. Night eating. He said he did well during the day but ate a lot at night. I have somewhat of the same problem. I do all right during the day but about 7 p.m. I want to eat again. Doesn't matter if I'm not hungry, I want to eat. I've got it down to indulging in pop corn or a piece of toast. (Low cal high fiber bread--no jam.) Jillian's method of calling him out on it may not have been good, but she was right about it. You don't prepare for a marathon and gain weight. You gain weight because you're eating too much of the wrong thing. Trying to say you couldn't work on losing weight because you were busy running doesn't even make sense. I'd like to see Daris in the final three and hope he's figured out what he has to do at home to finish this journey.

Las Vegas - Vegas isn't the place that I would go to lose weight, but he checked into a martial arts facility when he got there and appeared to be working hard.

18. "RE: May 18" |
I have no respect or regard for the Grey team or the Yellow team. The duplicitous way they played the game pretty much so ruined the season for me. How could Koli & Sam possibly put Mellissa down doing what they were doing? The whole time they got in the camera talking about how "gaming" is wrong". I don't think I've seen a season where people have done that. At least I can't remember. They even penalized people by putting them out the game if they even thought they were gameing. Now to only find out that that is how they controolled the game and held others hostage while they "gamed". By Daris, Ashley, & Michael's response I don't even think they knew what was happening before it was too late. I think they thought, "we are all in this together", but they weren't, and they found that out. IMO Koli is a true blue hypocrite and I could care less about him. I surely don't want to see his behavior rewarded. Sorry but that's the way I really feel.

I may have missed something, but what did Sam do that was so horrible?
Sam was always my favourite until he was voted off. I agree that Koli has lost much of his charm but I still love Sam. And it seemed to me that Sam was usually pretty honest and not a game-player, except for a couple times when he fell under Koli's influence (which happens to the best of us.)

LAST EDITED ON 05-20-10 AT 01:14 AM (EST)I am very happy that Michael and Ashley made it to the final three..and very upset at what happened to Daris. Koli, he is getting to intense and freaking me out. I think he has become too overly focussed on the money and that just isn't attractive... So, my hope is that Daris gets in... As for the finale, I think I am going to have to root for Michael as he has come so far and absolutely amazing in what he can do now. His attitude, his work ethic that he now has...he is just amazing..and looks totally hot to boot!! And Ashley, just looks gorgeous and also has done remarkably well. So, really I would be happy with either of them winning! Go Michael!! Go Ashley!!

15. "Seasonal rant against marathon" |
I said it before, I 'll say it again. I think the idea of making them do the marathon is stupid and dangerous. People can wreck their knees, get shin splints, etc.. by both training for and running the marathon. It's so punishing to a body and is quite dangerous for people of a heavier weight, such as Michael, due to the extra strain on his knees. I think it's just a bad idea. I can see it as being a great accomplishment for these people to say "I did a marathon" but I think there are just too many risks of injury and such to make it a good thing to do right at the end. The chronic cardio they push on the contestants is just so condusive to injury and wearing down the body...Okay ....rant over...

16. "RE: Seasonal rant against marathon" |
I just finally watched this show and I agree with most of everything already said. I did notice that Ali was the only past contestant who still looks as thin as she did when she won!! Helen looked good earlier in the season. Just making a generalization, but perhaps the men get so caught up in the competition of the show (like Koli is now) that it is hard to maintain the weight loss after the show is over. I thought Sione really had put it back on.

17. "RE: Seasonal rant against marathon" |
I have alot of mixed feelings with this episode as others seem to have. First of all, I 100% agree with the dangers of running marathons, especially with folks that are carrying alot of extra weight. They are very, very hard on joints, especially knees and hips. I loved how Michael and Ashley stuck together. I was also surprised at how some of the former contestants looked. But, what we all have to realize is that this show is unrealistic, and they lose SO much weight very quickly and abnormally. How many grown people can focus on training and conditioning at least 8 hours a day or more, and have all of their meals monitered. It is a dramatization, and I don't think that's the intent of the producers, it's more to motivate overweight folks that with hard work, commitment, and perserverence, you, too, can lose the weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle. And, I might add, that I think it does a phenomenal job - it motivates me every single week, and I am not even overweight. So, it's a show that is inspirational for us all. And look at the transformation it provides for these people....the increase in their self esteem, their increase in feelings of productivity and of accomplishment. It shows America that you can set goals, and if you commit to them, you can do it. They can do the show because they have teams of trainers and physicians that moniter them throughout the show. I thought that most of the guys were much heavier that returned, especially Sione. I was sorry to see that. But, look at Matt, one of the season's winners. He's larger, but he is still so focused and healthy with his workouts. He continues to workout and train and even does iron man competitions. He's a beast and a real inspiration. But, for Daris, I have alot of skeptism now. I know he failed, and he sees it too. I hope he takes this wake up call and gets the help he needs to rectify his problems with his eating. I fear that the show has not taught him or honed in enough on the eating part of the equation, perhaps. I think Jillian, in calling him out, was out to challenge him. I think he needed it. While I have loved Daris, I don't believe he should get the chance to compete in the final three. As for Koli. Sometimes I think folks can mistake his dedication and commitment for arrogance. I think Koli made a mistake when he went to Las Vegas and that perhaps he should have stayed on at home and committed with Sam. Most likely he could have done better. But, he didn't cheat, as Daris did, he erred non-the-less, but he never waivered on his commitment and devotion. Think about it, if I were in the competition I, too, would be dead set concentrated on the finale as well, I would want to win! They have made it to this point, they have to be focused on the win. Look how Tara was on her season, she was very, very committed. So was Helen. I don't fault them for their commitment to win it, or for their competitiveness. Therefore, I believe that Koli should be the third part to the final three. I also think that if Daris makes the final three he will not win it. He's pretty small at this point. I think it would be a better final three with Michael, Ashley, and Koli because it could really be close, and a great finish. Any of the three could win it. Just my 2 cents!

I think FP was referring to Daris "cheating" on his diet.
Meaning he was eating things or eating more than he should have been.
It's a common term (for me) when one gets off their diet - of falls off the wagon
That's the way I read it.

22. "RE: Seasonal rant against marathon" |
Yes, thanks, Jbug! I meant that he "cheated" on his diet. He admitted that Jillian was right. He confessed that he ate alot at night. He was good during the day, but ate at night. That's what I meant. He went off his diet, against his better judgement and what the show had taught him. He didn't really cheat anyone but himself. I thank God this happened now though, as it pointed something very important out to him. That, if he wants to stay healthy, he can't waiver, and go against his better judgement. The judgement is what the show has tried to teach him the entire time. But, to reiterate the point. Daris had a shot at the final 3, but because he cheated, he went against commitment to get to the final three, whereas Koli did not, I think Koli deserves the chance in that final three moreso than Daris. Just my 2 cents!
