I wouldn't be too sad to see Pati go, to be honest. Marty? Bit sad. Will be devastated if it's Greg, though.

Damien winning would be awesome. He'll have to lose so much weight to do it so he'll be almost unrecognisable!

I don't want Greg, Patti or Marty to go.

I still want Damien to win the game. Dispite the fact that he's got the most to lose, he's also the nicest guy!

i don't see anything wrong with munnalita having two mars bars at once, so long as it's something like once a month, or once a week at the very very most. it's a vast improvement on her previous habit of probably the equivalent of five or ten mars bars, probably more than once a week.

i think she did pull her weight at the weigh in, and if anything it was all the sooking that was the problem much more so than the two mars bars.

also, i'm at the stage of the game where i like all the contestants, including marsbarlita (cute nick name!) and courtney, although they are my two least favourites compared to all the others.

Yes, it was 2 at one sitting. I agree, Munna is being disrespectful, but I think the one she is being most disrespectful to is herself.

Someone said earlier that they can tell who won the weigh-in because of the side interviews. It's called a "losers edit". The producers will edit the show to make it seem that one team won, when in reality the other team does. It's meant to keep us thinking one thing, and then shock us with the actual results (which is meant to keep the show interesting and us surprised). So whenever you watch the show, you can usually tell who won, with the edit. The person/team who won will be downplayed and the losers will be pushed forward as being stronger etc.

Personally I would love to see the Blues eliminate Courtney. He's starting to become a real competitor in the weigh-ins, so they could take him out with the strongest person mentality. Or because of the game playing, which the Blues know about. Also I think Munna would have to start playing properly without Courtney there. Courtney would survive without Munna without an issue, but it would be interesting to see how Munna copes without Courtney.

Not sure, I'm pretty sure Michelle's going to tear into her if she doesn't get eliminated, but I don't know if Jillian could be any more hard on her than Michelle has been.
If anyone tells Michelle about Munnalita's crack about the Mars bars there's probably going to be hell to pay!

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Louise — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 20:12:34 -0000

I was just thinking... If Jillian was still there, what would she be doing about Munnalita?

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Louise — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 20:11:47 -0000

If Munnalita does survive elimination I bet that she'll get all cocky and say to Michelle that even though she had 2 mars bars she still lost 3.6 (or whatever it is) I can just imagine Michelle's reaction... i'm sure it's time to seriously beat some sense into the woman!

Yeah, I think apart from his gameplaying, Courtney is really making some progress. Earlier on, he would've participated in the Temptation just because he was an idiot. Now he only participated because he wanted to get control of The Walk for his team. I'm not sure that he would've if they hadn't made that pact.

I think that deep down Munnalita might understand that two Mars bars isn't acceptable, because she does keep trying to justify herself... But I'm not sure, because she's been such a dope in so many other respects it's hard to tell.

Laura is definitely crying a lot less of late, it's been really good to see. She even grins from time to time and I don't recall if she ever even really cracked a smile during her first few days in the House? It's a huge improvement and I'm so glad she's going to get at least one more week!

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Mythor — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 19:50:42 -0000

YES! :-P
The pre-elimination voting doesn't get very high numbers anyway because most people don't check in between the poll going up and Monday night's elimination, so it's not a big deal, no. It's really there more for my own curiousity to judge the contestant popularity just within their own teams. ;)

I'm not sure a lobotomy would do much. Need to have been using the brain for it to matter if part goes missing?
Was it 2 at once? Or just two spaced over the whole week? Either way, yes, it's not so "bad" to do it, but you do need to at least acknowledge that it's not really that good for you. And really, you're not in an intensive program designed to help you lose weight, so if you slip a little here and there? Oh well!
Munnalita's just disrespecting the whole thing and especially disrespecting Michelle. Such a waste.

ooops yes!

Mythor — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 19:47:24 -0000

Yeah I can't wait to see Shannan's reaction tonight, especially when they tell him that Laura was last and therefore essentially "won" for the team. He is going to bounce off the walls!

They showed a little of what Marty's been doing during the whole back and forth last night. It looks like he's just been telling everyone what to set their bikes to during their exercise and pushing them hard and so on. I can see how that might be annoying but honestly? Tell him to shove it and ignore him. It's not that hard, I wouldn't've thought. I suspect the problem is really that they know they need to work harder and just don't want to, so they resent Marty telling them to do it...

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Louise — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 19:43:32 -0000

Well I certainly hope it's Munnalita who goes. Courtney has picked up his game a bit, and Munnalita has seriously lost the plot. If blue does get to choose i hope they don't choose Greg. I can't believe that Munnalita was still trying to justify her 2 mars bars! And Greg was so right when he said that in the environment they are in it's easier to work off the mars bars. I reckon he'll vote Munnalita.

If Pati votes Munnalita or Courtney and neither of them go she's gonna be in trouble cos they will then realise she's not playing the game they want her to play.

I was so stoked for Laura! And did u notice she mentioned her dad in the aside without crying? she's certainly getting tougher! The red team were so cocky it was good to see them fall from the pedistal they put themselves on. Munnalita looked like she could have bitch slapped the blue team.

susanjacobs — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 19:30:20 -0000

So, I am being arbitrary and voting for people who I don't think will get voted off just to mess with the numbers. Is that wrong?

Munna really, really needs a smack in the head. I had 2 Snickers this week. Why? Because I wanted them. I enjoyed them. However, I also know that it wasn't good for me, and I probably shouldn't have had 2. If I get that without all the help she has, what is it going to take for her? I hear lobotomies are good sometimes.

Slim Jim — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 18:26:24 -0000

Loved Munna's shocked face. Wish she could be that speechless all the time.

I can't wait to see Shannan's reaction when he sees them all there, and hears Laura's weight loss! Project Laura worked! He is going to go nuts!

I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t understand MunnalitaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s comments about Marty. Is he really that annoying? Even Patti agreed. I havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t seen that side of him. Could the producers be manipulating what they broadcast, so we will favour certain contestants? In my view, if he wants to talk out loud during the workouts and push everyone, how can that be annoying? Other than because Munna wants to be the centre of attention, and doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t want anyone to pay attention to Marty.

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Slim Jim — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 18:20:45 -0000

I agree!! Same with the challenges. They always give it away with the asides, like 'I knew we could beat them' as opposed to 'I thought we could beat them' - as these asides are filmed after the event. so you can tell the result. So annoying!!

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Mythor — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 18:16:02 -0000

Yeah I try and work it out from there as well but then I usually forget who it is I think is going to win anyway! :)

Well Blue has always voted with their heart, not their head, so it's possible they'll vote out either Courtney or Munnalita, most likely Munnalita since they have the pact to not vote Courtney out.
But it could really be anyone on Red. I think that Pati is probably the only one that will be safe if it's a tie!

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Mythor — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 18:14:08 -0000

If it's tied it's believed that Blue will get to choose who is eliminated instead, but Ajay's not said so on the show so far so we don't know for sure!

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Donna — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 17:58:41 -0000

I think Cortney and Marsbarlita vote Marty, Greg and Pati vote Courtney (Pati doesn't want a girl to go and Greg is phobic :P ) and Marty votes Munnalita.....does Marty then get the deciding vote?

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Amy — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 17:53:49 -0000

You can always tell who won/lost the weigh-in by the side interviews! I've never been wrong! There's just something in the way they're "narrating", I dunno what, exactly. Maybe the losers always sound disappointed while the winners are saying "I didn't think we were going to be able to do it" while grinning or something. It annoys me though! I'm never surprised!

It'll be very interesting if it's a hung vote - would blue eliminate the strongest on the red team (i.e. Greg), or would they consider that they'll probably be paired up with them pretty soon and get rid of one of the weaklings? It'd be pretty funny if they chose Courtney though, considering he thinks he's completely safe from both sides :D

Oh yeah i forgot about The Pam-Wylie tie which got Nelson eliminated.

Someone on the BL forums pointed out that if Courtney goes that would make history,
An immunity winner getting eliminated.

Mythor — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 08:18:04 -0000

I think you mean so nice to see Red in the elimination room. ;)

But yes, it was a great result, made extra great by being so totally unexpected. Blue kicked ass this week!

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Mythor — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 08:16:59 -0000

Yes, that's why I guessed that it might be one each all round, because they've had tied votes on the US version. But Ajay may have been just referring to there not having been a tied vote on the Aussie one, not sure.

I expect the pairs, if they happen this week, will be decided on Thursday, with the decision being made by whoever it is that goes on The Walk, or whoever that person chooses, etc.

Re: Recap #31 - Sunday 11th March - Week 5 Weigh-in Results

Mythor — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 08:15:24 -0000

Yeah, I'm finding it a bitch to decide as well. The only firm decision I can make is that I don't want Greg to go. He's the only Red I don't have any problem with.
It would've been easy a week ago - Courtney all the way. But he's been putting in the hard yards lately... And Munnalita has gone absolutely batshit.

Sort of glad the public doesn't get to vote, sort of wish we could. ;)

What a great episode! I was getting so sick of blue losing the weigh-in.
I agree, Courtney did very well. It seems he has been training much better. I think Michelle generally whipped them all after temptation.
Munna's 3.6 was not that good compared to everyone else, who all did fab. it was just her usual really.
Her face when they lost!!!! Indescribable.
My prediction for tomorrow:
Courts and Munns vote Marty. Greg and Marty vote Munns. Pati??votes Courts. then blue votes???(I noticed Damien rubbing his hands together) -Greg or Marty as they lose the most.
So nice to see blues in the elimination room!
One thing I will say for Courtney, he seems to be enjoying himself.
I am so hanging out for tomorrow night now!!!!
