  Yes, I was kind of disappointed as well, even though I was expecting it once I saw how damn skinny he looked! But he put in the hard work and I guess he'll serve as a great example of what you can do if you put in the hard yards. Should be a great inspiration to the next batch of Fatties!

  Me too! I can't believe Chris won! He looks so lanky. At least the others had muscles... well Chris had muscles too but the strange thing is, he had flabs on his muscles. ;) I wanted either Marty or Pati to win. So disappointed. I was disappointed that Munnalita didn't win the minor prize either.
  
  I have to say something about Mel's arms. Woah! They were huge even in comparison to the trainers! Jillian and Bob looked like they had just woken up too on a bad hair day... especially Jillian. I loved the finale with the absolutely fantastic song of Damien's.
  
  Can't wait for season 3.

  I think Chris just looked sick and really gaunt. Like he starved himself y'know? I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the cover of a magazine in a few months with a header like: "TBL ruined my life, now i'm anorexic!"
  They all look awesome. Especially Damien :o)

  He did look very thin but he looked much better than when he left.
  There's already rumours doing the rounds that people have fallen off the wagon anyway!

  Thanks for doing these Mythor! Will you be doing TBL3??
  I really didn't care who won out of the final 3, Chris is OK (and his BMI is within normal limits, he weighs more than my hubby who is also very tall so I am used to guys looking like that! )He could have lost 7kg less and still won!! But I realise a lot of people don't like him, he didn't bother me though.
  (We knew he would win when he was weighed last)
  I prefer watching all the evicted ones anyway!
  That dress was a bad choice for Kelly, shiny waves of fabric coming to an apex on her stomach!! Munna's was much more flattering, how about Munna's Fifi Box smile!! (from another board).
  Sam is such a glamour puss and Greg such a spunk. Michael did really well as he was kicked out so early.
  
  I think they all did really well (Sarah sitting at home in front of the telly, eating Tim Tams, steam coming out of her ears........)

  You're welcome, Lesley! :-)
  I will probably be doing it again next year, but that's a long way off as of yet. :-)
  
  Damien did sing pretty well, didn't he? Thought it was a pretty crap song, myself, but Damien performed it well.

  You're welcome, barbara. :-)
  As I said above just after you posted this, I will probably be doing TBL3, yes. I forgot to add above that if the American season airs here in a timely fashion, I might do the US one in the interim, but I can't make any promises there. The US season is much closer than TBL3, but all I can say for now is that I'd like to keep going, it just depends on various bits and bobs... Like if I can still afford to run a website next year. :-)
  
  Even though Chris is within a healthy range, I think he'll start looking a lot better once he can stop the really hardcore weightloss and work more on just being healthy. To get as far as he's done should make that transition a lot easier than some of the other contestants.
  
  I was kind of sad not to see Sarah during the show. I wanted to see if she really did make it on the outside... And if she didn't, I really wanted to laugh my damn arse off! :-)

  Michael was unrecognizable. He looked so dam hot! That was the most dramatic transformation for me.
  
  RE Chris - I am glad he won. He put in twice the effort of everyone else because he knew if he didn't, he was going home. He had it sorted in his head. It also shows that you can do it at home. I bet Commando Steve must have been beaming! As for starving himself, I'd do it for $200K. You can use the money to fix your health problems up later. Whether that is right or wrong………. But he did look a lot healthier than when he left the house.
  
  Thank you, Mythor, for the recaps. You have done a fantastic job. I look forward to reading them next season.

  Thanks for the recaps, much appreciated. I missed the show most weeknight due to work. I wonder if Chris had been a contestant from day one, and eliminated early, could Marty have still got back in when Jules left, perhaps Chris would have come back, if the returning contestant was selected due to weight loss percentage.

  -> Stupid Chris! I wanted Marty to win! The Comeback King! Could you imagine? Kicked out twice, then WINS it! Bastards.
  
  -> Mel's guns freaked me out. She's MASSIVE! I suppose with a foot injury she put a lot more work in on her upper body...
  
  -> Whoa at Kimberlie! Massive effort! She didn't seem to put in as much effort as the others while in the house, so I was super impressed.
  
  -> Munnalita!!! wtf! I would have NEVER thought she could ever be described as anything even slightly resembling hot, but she looked pretty damn good! Crazy.
  
  -> Michael has the biggest mouth I've ever seen in my life. I reckon it's bigger than my whole head. It seemed more in proportion when he was a fatty I guess.
  
  -> I noticed they didn't even mention Sarah's name at ALL, not even to say that a contestant couldn't handle it and left in the first week during the replays. Weird.
  
  Thanks for the recaps Mythor! Man. What am I going to read during my morning coffee breaks now? News? Pffffft. See you next year (I hope)!

  You can do irreparable harm to yourself via starvation, it's not necessarily something you can fix with money... But I don't think Chris was on that little calories anyway, just not as many as the bare minimum he should have been having.
  
  You're welcome, Nat!

  It's hard to say. Marty did really well early on and obviously did well after leaving each time as well. Chris didn't do so well at the start when he was training with Steve, he did much better once he got to the house. If he'd gone straight to the house from the start he would've got that kick in the bum much earlier.
  Interesting theory. :)

  I think Mel might've gotten back into some rowing training and that could be how she got the huge muscles.
  
  Michael has the biggest mouth? No way, Kimberlie's takes up half her face! Marty has a pretty big grin on him as well, but Kimberlie's definitely got them all beat!
  
  Yes, I checked the intro stuff and was waiting all night for them to talk about Sarah but there was nary a peep. I wonder if they decided not to because she's a failure and they don't really want to admit to their failures?
  
  I'm at a loss as to what to do every night now that I don't have TBL to watch! :)
  You're welcome, Amy.

  Show-me-the-money-lita looked better than she used to, but you know the personality is still lurking underneath all the finery... *shudder*

  I haven't set up a mailing list in so long! I'll see about getting one up and running before I write the next update thing. (Still have one more planned post-show.)

  Wonder if we'll be seeing Dammo on Australian Idol soon?? He'd definately win the popularity votes! : )

  Sadly he's too old - the cutoff age last year was 30. :(
  It would've been cool if he could enter though. But he really needs to finish losing weight more than he needs to go on Idol, it'd take too much out of his day methinks. :(
