DISQUS

PeterA · 1 year ago

Will tomorrow nights' show grant a tema member immunity? I think so,and I think a male of a team with 2 females will win it .And this team will lose the weigh in, thus forcing the vote for elimination to be a female.
This will open the way to ending the teams and have 4 couples each with a male and female member.
Mythor, this leads me to beleive that several weigh ins occur ever week , and the producers select the result of the one that suits the direction that the game must follow.

By the way, Mythor, i really do enjoy your report and posts at OS as well.
Good luck with your money raising for a new webhost and to those that read this site that haven't helped , think of it as buying a magazine in a book shop.Surely this is better value.

If they did several weigh ins a week and picked the one that suited them, Courtney or one of the others would have spilled the beans, if not someone like Jillian who has often expressed displeasure with the show's "games". I really, really doubt they're doing that. As I keep telling people, the reality of the results is intriguing enough! :)

I've actually already moved to a new webhost, but thanks for the good wishes. :)
Now if my new webhost would just stop breaking the server I'm on, it'd all be good!

I've thought for a long time that the weights each contestant is said to have lost is very suspect. It wouldn't be too hard to decrease or increase the weight loss for all members of a team by half a kg to change the results. Its become even more obvious this year that the weighins are a tissue of lies and specifically for 'drama'.

I expect that Black will lose weighin this week - after all, they haven't had to face an Elimination yet and I'm expecting this will be the last week of Teams. I also expect a female will be sent home to even up the male/female ratio for pairs. This will leave them with 8 players or 4 male/female pairs in the House for next week and the usual double elimination that happens in the first week of pairs.

This won't leave them enough players to finish off their elimination round and go to the Final Three or Final Four. They need another pair to enter or re-enter the House. I expect this will be a 'romantic and drama charged' team of Michael and Sheridan.

The reason I think Blacks will lose weigh in though, is that they need even male/female ratio and currently its 4 men and 5 women in the House, they can't afford to lose another man from the mixture. Its pretty obvious that Kirsten and Alison would vote out Sam first. It would also make the most sense for Reds to vote out Garry first as he is the biggest threat to win the competition. If any team is strategic enough to see where the dangers lie, it is Reds. The only team who wouldn't vote a male out would be Black team and I'm not sure which of the girls they would vote out, but I'm betting between Cariane and Michelle, it would be Michelle as the bigger threat, although Bryce does seem to have a 'special' relationship with Michelle.

I can't see Carrianne or Michelle voting for the other though. I suspect Bryce would be the one to go from Black. Carrianne would know that Bryce is the bigger threat and Michelle would rather have Carrianne's support through the rest of the game. Carrianne has said, over and over, that she's there to be the first female biggest loser. Bryce is in the way of that plan.
Bryce's only chance is to convince Michelle to vote for Carrianne. And I just don't see that happening.

In any event, as you just laid out, there's drama involved no matter which team goes to elimination, meaning that once again the legitimate results of the weigh in will be the most intriguing. Blue will have to decide whether to send Sam home before he's ready, or sacrifice Kirsten, who seems ready and able to do it at home now. Alison is unlikely, because neither Sam or Kirsten would be willing to send her home.
Red will have to choose between eliminating the less useful Nicola, eliminating the current frontrunner for the prize Cosi, or doing exactly what Nicole said would happen and eliminate Garry. That trio of options is by far the most intriguing.

I really don't get your obsession with this theory that they rig the results every week. And the claim that it's become more obvious they're rigging it this year is absurd. As I've told you before, if they were rigging it the results would be very close, week in and week out. For the first couple of weeks the results were total blowouts, twice killing any drama before the last person even got on the scales. And now that they're all becoming much more fit and have lost all the "easy" weight it makes sense that the results would be very close, week to week.
Your theory just doesn't hold up to scrutiny and it hasn't for weeks. It's time to let it go! :)
