DISQUS

Tara · 2 years ago

Ugh, that's a pity. I thought she had a really good attitude :(

Mythor · 2 years ago

Yeah, she seemed to be one of the few who was quietly soldiering on all the time, instead of bitching and moaning about this or that.

Sarah Peak walked out because she found it too physically demanding.

heh, I don't even recall her trying that hard anyway. But another good person gone :(

Mythor · 2 years ago

Yeah I don't reckon she was around long enough to have really been pushed all that hard. She's just a quitter!

susanjaocbs · 2 years ago

That is a total shame. All that hard work and you are out because of a blood clot. That is a whole world of suck.

Sarah should have never been chosen. I can't believe she got into the program.

I know Alex in RL. So I am hoping that he wins!

damn, go alex, asian pride!

Yes, a lot of people have been wondering how in the heck Sarah managed to make it through the selection process. It does seem strange. I think I've said it before, but I'll repeat it now - I think what the producers were hoping was that a kick in the pants from the trainers was really all she needed to turn her around and they took the gamble.

Ooh, cool! I hope he doesn't get eliminated tomorrow then, as many people are suspecting might happen!

Yeah, there seems to be a slant of "anti-Alex" on the show. I am hoping that it is the editing. The producers *know* who is eliminated, don't they? So they could edit to make us think Alex is going and then SURPRISE, he pulls through. Just a thought...

I think it will come down to the numbers. IF Alex can pull up with good numbers, they are not going to be so quick to get rid of him.

Mythor · 2 years ago

Yes, the producers know now, but I don't know when they do the editing so I'm not sure they'd be that devious. Certainly a possibility though!

I'm sure Courtney and his cronies will just justify that by saying he's bigger so of course his numbers are bigger, I don't think they'll care how well Alex does.

The show should put applicants through a Physiological test, because that is what it is with Sarah (its in her mind). She has no self confidence and is very dependent (she always spoke of her *need* for her boyfriend). She is the only one who will change herself, like Jillian said in the first scene when Sarah told Michelle she didn't want to continue the journey "cant help sorry let her go!".
But, in making good TV she was a good one to through in the mix!

I hope Damien does really well and Courtney stops winging and starts exercising. Alex did do well to push himself around the Sydney Tower and needs to keep doing that to loose the oxygen tank.

I hope they all do well like the last contestants!

I just wandered over to the official webpage, and they are giving you hell, Myth. I did post, but I think I like it better over here. :)

Mythor · 2 years ago

You've probably not seen the half of it. Lots and lots of people being rude over there and nothing gets done about it. Total shambles. I'm trying to step away from it when I can now but eh...

Mythor · 2 years ago

See, the thing is they actually do go through a psych test beforehand, as well as, obviously, a bunch of other medical testing. A lot of people are assuming that that doesn't happen because of things like this, but previous contestants have confirmed that there is a psych doctor involved!

Damien seems to be going great guns so far. He's a huge man, but I think being a singer is helping him a lot as I suspect he has a much better lung capacity than you would normally expect from someone his size.

Apparently some of the previous contestants have put some of the weight back on, but it'd be great to see Damien get down to Adro's size... don't think it'll happen quite so quickly though!

and fourthly, it wasn't because it was "physically demanding" that sarah walked out. one thing that stood out for me was her reaction to the final feast. surely she must have seen last year's series and had some idea how hard it would be, but i don't think it clicked for her until the final feast how things are played up for the camera. she was disgusted with the implication that the reason she got fat was from stuffing her face.

i say good on her for sticking to her guns. bringing in cat to talk her out of it wasn't really relevant, because sarah and cat are very little alike, the only similarity really being their starting and ideal weights. sarah walked out because of the emotional demands, not the physical demands. i think she will do better in her secure home environment than on the show where she was extremely uncomfortable.
