^^^Thanks! smile.gif

Here is a photo from the first episode:

It shows the Green team (Lynn and Jenni) and the Purple team (Maggie and Jenn) on the far left. Every other team is voting, with the silver tray in front of them. I think Purple and Green were below the yellow line the first week, and Green was eliminated.

Am I mistaken? I don't really remember, that's why I hunted for the photo.

You're not mistaken. There was a yellow line for the couples from week one until they started the black and blue teams. My fave Roger moment was somewhere in the first few weeks when purple fell below the yellow line again and the gray team voted for them to go because 'two below, gotta go'.
Besides, if they didn't have a yellow line in the first few weeks people would have voted off Orange, Black and Gray as soon as they could.

I've moderated a board. It is unrewarding. Thanks for the effort.

But can anyone say anything remotely critical of the show or contestants? I've had multiple posts & threads removed, and I truly don't know why. This is a nationally broadcasted show. Does the show & it's contestants not expect criticism? I understand the difference between mean, critical, honest, and trolling.

Every thread is:
1. I like person A.
2. I like person A also.
3. I like person A + I like person B too.
4. I like person A & B too.
etc etc etc

Not much of a discussion board.

I hardly see "I think Ali looks good, but Brittany looks great," as mean-spirited, hostile criticism. It's a discussion. Maybe there are others who think Ali looks better, and maybe there are some that don't care. At least it's a discussion.
On the contrary, I find it very rewarding.

I think you need to look around a bit more, you'll find quite a bit fo differing opinions and discussion. It is acceptable to discuss the person's behavior on the show, but not to make judgements about them. For instance, you can say you didn't like it when Jilly Bob screamed at Bobby Jill. But you can't say Jilly Bob is a jerk. Please read the FAQ and Forum Rules for clarification and instructions on how to locate any missing posts. NBC's board, NBC's rules.

rolling.gif rolling.gif How did I forget that? Yeah, that's a pretty good quote. It's kind of amazing Purple stayed in the game as long as they did, except that they were constanly not the biggest threats.

I am so excited about making spreadsheets for next season!!!!

They said she had a herniated disc. I love my chiro - I hope she has one.

Not very nice of you to hope your chiropractor has a herniated disk.

I was surprised there wasn't much said about them. They gave the names and had them stand up but no details like how much they lost or anything. I would have liked to see a weigh off of the top 3 finalists and some before pictures at least. Seems like they lost an oportunity to sell some more commercials.

She meant that she hopes the person with a bad back has a chiropractor, not that the chiropractor has a herniated disk. She would never wish that on someone.

Was his weight added to the eliminated contestants portion of the finale? Or was he disqualified like the woman who got pregnant a few seasons ago?
vbarkley
No mention was made of Paul's weight on the finale - just the quick blurb saying he was too ill to attend.

Does anyone know what the song was that they played in the beginning of the show? It was inspirational but I didn't think to look at the credits.


I know this is late, but I just figured out one of the songs that was played at the beginning of the show. Besides "Proud" and "Taking Chances" there was also "Whatever It Takes" by Lifehouse. smile.gif
