Shouldn't the #1 part of any strategy be to ensure that *you* are there for the final four? From that POV, their strategy seems to be about as good as one can get.

I can give you a list of people who made the Final 4 on tons of these shows who either ended up losing because they were surrounded by contestants with tighter bonds or because their strategies were nonexistent. I know winning the Biggest Loser is "up to the finalist", but it helps to not be surrounded by big threats, especially ones who started off looking like every other Biggest Loser winner in history.
The product placement is hilarious.

what a great episode! I just wish the girls would've said something rude when Dan came in to their room. Wish Kelly would've said something to Roger like HAHA or something more childish after the way he treated her last week when she said she wouldn't vote for Brittany. I wonder what the difference was this week with Jillian compared to Brittany's routine last week seeing as how Ali lost 6 and Kelly 7 lbs this week.
Looks like a good one next week, and I surely hope Mark's head in his hands means Jay is going bye bye.
The ad placement for the popcorn seemed to fit the "story line" but the one with Bob was like huh? out of nowhere - which is probably why I don't remember what he was talking about, either. Maybe that's just because I don't like him this season.

Guess Dan should have rethought his voting strategy last week... Too late now. And now, all I care about is that Roger doesnt win. Give me a break. Of course you keep getting numbers, you're the fattest one there idiot.

my wife and I are hooked on this show also.
but i will say. those ziplock steamer bags really do work. LOL.
not a product placement but i'd rather use those to steam up veggies than break out our veggie steamer and wait 30 min.
i'd like to see whats her name from the pink team win.

Dan reminded me of Patrick Dempsey's character in Can't Buy Me Love: he was a loner without any friends, but when he becomes part of the cool crowd, he becomes a complete dick.
I really liked him earlier this season, when he was with his mom, but it was hard to watch him as he fell in tight with the Pride on Three gang. I think he really forgot this was a game, and most importantly, he forgot how quickly this crowd initially threw his mother under the bus and he was the outsider from the get-go. But then they had a huge winning streak and he got swept up in the testerone and suddenly thought he had formed some sort of brotherhood with these guys.
He really should have woken up and started to think for himself. If he would have thought about it, he should have realized he would be the first to go out of the 4, especially since Jay and Mark are going to vote as one.
Last week, if he had formed an alliance with Brittany, Kelly, and Ali they could have voted out Jay and had the numbers to take out Mark next.

I don't get why Ali was bitching about the guys ganging up on them in the challenge. Hello, they are in a clique, what do you expect?
I really hope Kelly wins it. I don't like Ali or any of the other remaining members.

Okay, can someone remind me... is the final winner determined by total amount of weight lost since they first came to the ranch, or is it based on the amount they lose at home after their last ranch weigh-in?
