She sure does make the show unpleasant, though this season I am finding the show is not the best viewing with the choice of contestants. Yes that woman is a royal pain. I think she has a mean spiteful personality. Her teaming up with the "former athlete" (and I use that term loosely) Kim, has made an alliance that will not bode well for Antoine. I think if he doesn't pull the biggest numbers, they will do their best to have him tossed as soon as possible. The entire group has forgot the name of the season "Second Chances"

So I finally watched Tuesday's episode last night. OMG Are you kidding me Conda!!
I did not like the fact that they alienated Antoine right away, yeah I'm sure he was stretching the truth, but come on to treat him the way they treated him is totally wrong. And this new alliance, Conda and Kim. uuuhhmmm Yeah. I sure hope his body adjusts quickly and he loses a ton of weight next week, otherwise he will be out of there if they lose.

And his sister, what was up with her walking out of the gym during their "homework, workout". If they claim to have worked out 14 hours a day... how come she left?

I thought Chism and Jeremy were totally disrespectful.

I had a feeling that Antoine would be gone this week if he wasn't the biggest loser and sure enough the Red Team didn't let me down !!!Well Conda and Kim had their way, I wonder who will be their next victim. I think Antoine didn't stand a chance right from the start. He is not entirely blameless, there were times where he should have listened more but the way his joining the house was received, his defensive attitude was understandable. I applaud Roy the only red team mate that gave him a chance. I thought dropping 9 pounds without the trainer was great but for some reason it wasn't enough for Mark, go figure. I think no matter how well this man did his days were numbered. Perhaps it's not a good idea to bring contestants back after a month as alliances have been formed and it just makes for a stressful time for the new arrival and that affects the weight loss progress. I was surprised that they just briefly passed over Dovett's list of "Conda complaints". I would have liked to see Dovett have a better discussion with the team to try and help Antoine fit into the group and put both Kim and Conda in their place with the back stabbing that was going on in regards to Antoine. At least the black team seems to be more accepting of Daphne esp since Bob had the talk with them. I hope she hangs around a lot longer. The red team sure has a lot of peeps that are becoming harder to like.

I agree. Adrien did seem to not listen to others, and that can be frustrating. I work with someone exactly like that, no matter what you say they come back with the same thing over and over, never registering what you tell them. However, I do believe they all - except Santa - gave him a raw deal in welcoming him back, and I think that was spearheaded by Kim and Conda. I do not like either of those women....both are catty and cold and I think they need to change some things before their weight loss is going to stick.

9 lbs wasn't enough for Mark? His other teammate is over 100 lbs heavier than him too, and Adrien lost more. So that excuse of his for voting him out doesn't hold any weight with me. I'm no longer a Mark fan, either.

I'm not a huge fan of this season. Too many "bad apples". It is supposed to be a time of transformation, not just of their bodies, but of their minds also. That is just not happening with many of them. I think the drama detracts from everything. I watch this show because it has always been so positive and heartwarming. I can watch other shows when I want drama.

I totally agree with your comments. Both witches will regain their weight unless they make a clean sweep of all the crap they are carrying around mentally. This year Red Team seems to have all the mean spirited people. I have always loved this show for the positive vibe and seeing people attain their goals, but like you the drama is spoiling it for me. Antoine = Adrien I am so bad with names

I was cheering for Daphne all through the program, I was so glad she dropped more weight than Conda and once again the black team won the weight in. It was good to know that Bob had noticed that there was a problem with the red team and Adrien, I just wish Dovett had been more proactive and maybe there wouldn't have been any problems. It must have been really liberating for Daphne to keep mentioning her brother and then when she did so well say it was for her brother. Once again a 9 pound loss was not enough for Mark, what is with that man ? Santa was sent home instead of Kimmie who only lost 4 pounds and will probably not pull big numbers as she is one of the smaller peeps. Was it really because they think he can't keep up, talk about being narrow-minded when it comes to an older person ( I thought he was doing a pretty good job with exercise and weight loss) or was it because he went against them and didn't vote off Adrien. Red Team is all screwed up in my opinion.

I hated last night's show.

I dislike the idea of those food challenges. It goes against everything the show is about. Why bother? Why create more drama? As a result of that challenge, none of them lost any weight really, and a good contestant who really needed to be there went home.

I think the show needs to get back to it's original format and reasoning. I heard the trainers aren't liking it either. I heard that is why Jillian left...she didn't like the direction the show was taking in regards to turning it into a game instead of a journey of self discovery and change.

Didn't see the show last night as we are in Playa but who went home ? I don't want to wait until I am home to find out lol ? I agree with you, the food challenges are ridiculous and do defeat the reason for the program. Why place big temptations in their paths as right now most of them treat it as a game and think that they can get away with it just this once.....and I'll win a prize. I hope it was one of the reds who went home, one of the biatches lol.

Daphne went home. Conda is now on the black team; I can't stand her.

As a whole, they are one large group of hard to like people.

I hope Daphne does well at home, it was unfortunate that she and her brother had to win their way back on and then it wasn't the longest stay at the ranch. i wish they would not make peeps compete to get to the ranch. If you are lucky enough to be chosen for the show, then you should not have to run a race or do a contest to be one of the lucky teams to be able to stay. Conda is now on the black team, hmmm here's hoping that they make her feel as welcome as she and her team mates made Adrien feel. Here's hoping she suffers the same fate as he did. Totally agree that it is one group of hard to like people, worst season ever in my opinion.

Wow I finally watched this weeks episode, so much freaking drama with Conda and Daphne!!

I can't believe that the black team was manipulated by Conda and threw the weigh in (all except for Santa's wife). I'm sad that Daphne went home, but I think it was better for her to be out of all that drama. Her and her brother did fine at home and hopefully they will be one of the at home winners.

I also agree that if they get picked to be on the show, they should not have to "race" in the beginning to be able to stay on the ranch. And these temptation challenges are ridiculous!!

I saw on next week's episode trailer, that something happens to Santa's wife.
