Just thought it would be fun to see where everyone stands before the next episode. I know that we have no idea who is going to be in the bottom two, but it just will be interesting to see where everyone's vote is.

Well, we will be making a poll once we know who the bottom 2 are.

I figured that, I just thought it would be interesting to see where everyone stands considering so many people are saying that they are all for Tara or all for Mike.

Hmmm well you vote to send one home, not to keep one. If I could, I would send home in this order: Mike, Helen, Filipe, Ron

My reasoning...Ron doesn't care if HE goes home, and I think that I am done with the godfather's attitude...which as I said in another thread is a shame, but I'd send Mike home to send a message to the next season to let each player play his own game and not be obnoxious so we don't end up with another Ron or worse yet, Heba or she whose name shall not be spoken.

I know that you vote to send one home, but I can't really do that yet because we don't know who the bottom two are yet. We'll have that chance next week, if they let us vote. I just wanted to see where people's favorite stands after last week's episode. It's just interesting, that's all.

I agree with you about Ron, Heba, and I think it's hilarious calling the other one "she whose name shall not be spoken." lol

We may not even have the chance to vote. Next week's elimination gets rid of the 5th person left on the ranch, leaving us the final four. It has been said there is a one-week break before the May 12 finale. So unless there is a double elimination next week, it looks like it will be a "final four" like Seasons 3 and 4.

next week gets rid of the 5th person. and the 4 go home (nbc preview). then the next episode May 5th, they are coming back. So I guess the bottom two will be seen at the weigh-in then, and possibly we get to vote that night.

Crap I hope TARA doesn't get in a situation where we have to phone in to save her! I might go broke!!

ummmm, Tara - stay ahead of the pack....please!

Wow looks like Tara is overwhelmingly pulling in the numbers (well out of 21 thus far.... )

I was thinking the same thing; that if America DID vote, and it came down between Ron and Mike, would they vote for Mike, or would they vote to hurt Ron by sending Mike home. Last season, Ed pleaded for America to vote for Heba - and she lost by a mile. It's a scenario I've been thinking about these past few days. Personally, I doubt I'd do it. If it came down between Mike and Ron, I probably wouldn't even vote. I don't dislike Ron enough to 'get even' with him by eliminating his son, and Mike is still a kid. I want Tara to win more than I want anyone else to lose, if that makes any sense.

In seasons 5 and 6, they had online voting.

Hmmm, I'd vote to send Mike home - better for Tara - Ron isn't a threat.

Harsh, yet honest. I bet Ron throws the next weigh-in to keep that from happening...Of course it would depend on who he got below the yellow line with...

I'm caught! I will admit - I've only seen bits and pieces of each season until this season. I saw enough of last season to know that Ed's slow speech and odd voice got on my last nerve and that Heba was not a nice person as was the one you all refer to as "the one who's name shall not be mentioned"... I love that! I saw the finale and was glad Michelle won.

So do they get down to four and then they all compete against each other for the "biggest loser"??

It depends on the season. The first two seasons they went to a Final 3 at the ranch. The final 3 went home for a while and then competed against each other at the finale. Seasons 3 and 4 they went to a final four at the ranch, went home for a while, and competed against each other at the finale. Seasons 5 and 6 they went to a final 4 at the ranch, and then the final week at the ranch, when 2 contestants fell below the yellow line, instead of the other two voting one off, America voted. The one voted off by America was eligible to compete for the $100,000 along with the other at-home contestants (a la H). The remaining 3 vied for the $250,000.
We really don't know what format they will be using this season (but if there is only one week of programming left before the finale, it points to a final 4).

I actually made a whole thread about this issue. It is on page 2 of TBL threads.

^^^I just looked it up, p14, yours only listed Ron and Mike. Otherwise I would have merged them.

Wow, I am kind of amazed in this poll that so far NO ONE has voted for Helen or Ron.

I want Tara to be VICKtorIous. Not Ron - HE BAdly treated Kristin by playing too many hEaD games. One could say Mike was showing self-confidence, or one could argue that he was showing BRAggaDocio. I really hope that Tara goes on to VICKtorY!! (had to cheat on the spelling a little bit)

I think most people are disappointed that these parents have the wrong priorities. Ron should be home helping his son and Helen should have insisted that her daughter stayed on the ranch. Yeah, it was poor editing that made her look bad, but she still didn't put her daughter first. My "children", adult and teens, would come first in this situation.

I'm not.



Thanks for the info Stacyz!!!!!!!!! I am now properly in "the Know"!

*sigh* Elebinty and five!

I voted for Felipe. I can't really stand the other 4. I liked Tara at the start for being a workhorse, but listening to her whining turned me. I like that she wins challenges, but wow, she's won like 11. I won't be part of the Tara bandwagon, I like underdogs.

Felipe??? Really? If you don't like whining, why would you root for Felipe? Felipe is "mister I don't like Jillian for one day, so I am going to run crying to Bob"...I think that was the epitome of whining. Maybe some people missed that episode. At least Tara acknowledges that Jillian is there to help her and doesn't go crying to another trainer when Jillian yells at her.

Oh, and then he blamed Jillian for not losing weight...that was a class act right there. Too bad he still hasn't done that well under Bob, or maybe I could believe him.

Now...
wheres that guy who said "no one likes tara"

Well, it's my opinion and you get to deal with it. Had I cared about you or your opinion, my feelings may be hurt.

Here's to your bandwagon being derailed.

The bandwagon will not be derailed. Win, lose, or draw many of us who admire Tara will still admire her. Yes, I would like to see her win the money, but that would be gravy, IMO. She is already a winner and will remain so. If you don't like my opinion, fine. Go deal with it

Yay, someone voted for Helen!!!!

If we could vote twice, I'd vote for Helen - she's my number 2!

hmm...I'm not sure where I ever said that I wanted to hurt your feelings...could you show me? I'll apologize if I ever said that.

I think that my point was that if you only dislike Tara because she "whines" then you might want to rethink your supporting Felipe. I loved Felipe at first until he acted extremely childish with Jillian. I don't hate him, and I think that he has done well, and if he wins, fine, I really don't care. But, my point was you are supporting a whiner when you said that you don't like Tara because she whines. Just interesting to me, that's all.

In a meeting....

where's the love for Ron? surely there is somebody out there who could throw him a vote!!

Hmmmmm..... I feel a rhyme coming on...


One more weigh-in until the final show
who will be stickin' around and who will go?
You know the one we're all pulling for
Mighty Tara - Whose battle cry we roar!
Some are thinking the bandwagon might derail
Perhaps when a snowball learns to survive in hell!!
Our support shall not waiver, for loyalty is our creed
we've followed every challenge, we've witnessed every deed
The reason should be apparent and come as no surprise
You see...Tara has already won in all of our eyes!!



Moonwind....would have liked to have used your gravy line, but I couldn't make it fit...

Your rhyme is gravy enough for me! Bravo!!

[ignore]Ron[/ignore]

Is that David Beckham in your avatar? I love him - I'm a soccer fanatic - and he is just too good to be true and too good for a spice girl if you ask me!!

How's this?

I liked this very much. Tara is awesome. And she is sooo not a self centered person like so many on here believe she is.



WAR TARA!!!

hahahaha
that really made me laugh out loud.
fo sho!

yes it is...

LOL - I don't agree with you about Mike and Ron, but you are dead on about Heba and the other one... lol --- I think those two from last season makes everyone on this season look like angels. I also have to say that the only one i really disliked on the show was philipe, such a sore loser IMO he always acted like he was owed something. and that whole thing with him and sione not wanting jillian as a trainer - come on you are grown men grow up....

I agree with you 100% - Philipe was this biggest whinner of them all. The way him and sione acted i couldn't believe it - they are 2 grown men crying because a little women yelled at them -- and what happened after they went running to bob - nothing they lost less weight with him...

i think Tara is an awesome competitor and i love how she kicked butt in every competition... but for who i would want to win the whole thing -- that is MIKE.....

After Helen sent her daughter home so she could stay, she lost my respect. I'm rooting for Tara. If you can win all those challenges, you deserve to win the whole thing. Can't stand Ron or that big baby Filipe.

Helen didn't send her daughter home, Shanon wanted to go home. Please read this:

I like Ron. He was my favorite ever since he gave that speech so that no one would vote off Dan. He is a great guy who raised a great kid. I'm so proud of them for being the only team in the final four.
