Contestants….WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?

And Michelle….YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT FAT WHINGING LUMP. He looks the same four months on..THE SAME and she looks amazing. No no no!

Yeah. I mean we all put on masks unconsciously unless we are with the people who know us well OR talking candidly to the camera in the confession room. I think as an audience we have seen a lot more of the real Margie with her judging comments to the camera than the contestants have seen face to face. Margie can be charming, and she can crack jokes… it relaxes people around her…. and relaxed people don't feel threatened.

I thought Graham did exceptionally well… 7.6 is basically 8 commando! Sheesh that man will be on your butt for 400 grams?

I had a feeling that Graham had been sucked into the red team vortex considering he chose Michelle over Lydia last time. But wow, I was surprised that Brenda is such an idiot and quite possibly Bek too. I was just like what the hell happened. Who would be a bigger threat in the super challenge etc., all the challenges and weigh-ins etc. What a bunch of morons!

What was Brenda, Graham and probably Bek thinking? Like Shannan says in the next episode, Margie is a much bigger threat than Michelle! Maybe they are afraid that Margie might return to the house in the night and slash their throats? That's the only logical reason I could think of. Maybe they will justify their choice in the next episode.

It's weird but Michelle's exit interview has not been posted on the TBL-AUS official website even after episode 57 has been aired.

Graham is frustrating though, I cannot blame Commando at all. Even though it was just nuts, who cares if other people were stealing them from your cupboards? Nuts are high in cals and fat so LET THEM!!! It is so hard at this point to see Graham still having to be pushed by everyone. He got to go home to Carcor, that wheelchair athlete (sorry, name is a blank right now) from his home urging him on and sharing his story. Everyone in the house pushing him because they KNOW he is not giving 100%. It is too frustrating at this point in the game people should have "Gotten it". Why hasn't he?

I guess that is what I find most frustrating about this season. Most seasons the whiners and slackers (not trying to be mean, I know it is hard to change your outlook) "get it" within the first few weeks. Then they realise how far they can push themselves and start getting some confidence.
This year, Graham, Hamish, Selina, and Ryan still haven't seen the light, still consistently making excuses. It is hard to watch.

I doubt it, He has had every opportunity and people pushing him. What better opportunity would a person have then being in Camp BL to build their confidence? Yet when he came back into the house and had to compete to stay, even for his one true love he didn't even put in the effort. With the "triathalon" competition on the the only the fattest guy in the history of the BL, Ryan came behind him. Out of Brenda, Bec, and Shane, Hamish was in the house longer then any of them. He should have had the strength and the mindset to come in first. At least beat Bec. But he grunted and groaned the whole way, Even after commando told him to run, he still trudged along.
I cannot give him the excuse anymore that he is young. Yes he is young but there have been many young contestants on the show before and never had his horrible attitude. The problem is not that he is young but extremely immature.

I am shocked! Did you notice the look on Margie's face when she realized the results? She looked completely shocked as well. I think Lydia was hoping everyone else would step up and eliminate Margie since she felt honor bound not to put her name down. Wow. What were they thinking?! This is the second time Margie dodged the elimination bullet. Once against Selena and now Michelle. Incredible. She probably should win, the others seem to keep handing it to her on a silver platter.

Well, it's true! Someone was stealing the nuts….someone called Graham D:!

BTW, figured yinz would find this interesting: "http://tvweek.ninemsn.com.au/Blog.aspx?mode&blogentryid=999250&showcomments=true"

What idiots!

Pfffffffff, Lisa didn't take part in water loading? So she just gained 3 kg on the outside through pigging out? Doubtful. Lisa was a game player just like the rest, hanging on to her alliances for support.

I have no doubt whatsoever that Margie gave Michelle that trip home knowing it would be the end of Michelle.

The show this season has been like an ELEVATOR. It has been going dooooooooown and then dooooooown some more. And just when you have reached the ground floor and think it can't go any lower… you discover that there are sevel levels BELOW the ground!

Seriously, just when I think it can't get any worse… it DOES.

As to the question: "WTH happened?"

Simple.

ALLIANCES. That's what happened.

Graham who thinks he has a "heart of gold" is really only a 3-year-old in an adult's body, somone who is afraid of any form of confrontation (notice how he sqeezes his eyes shut every time he is confronted by the Commando, as if that will make him go away). The reason he has a crush on Lydia is simple: She is demanding and tells him what to do and where to go. To Graham that's a form of security: It's easier than finding his own way and making his own decisions. So Graham? Savely wrapped around Lydia's finger. Beks? Still pissed at White for "stabbing her in the back", vindictive to the 9th degree. She will vote out any White without blinking twice. Alex? VERY easy to manipulate as was apparent when Margie told him that he needed to play for immunity. Brenda? Pffff, few remaining brain cells lost by too much champagne and too much mascara. Hell knows what she was thinking. Or Beks talked her into it. Who knows.

Anyway: Margie is not going anywhere. She has them all firmly in her alliance pocket and still has heaps of weight to loose. She could fall under every week now (which I am sure is not going to happen again) – they still wouldn't vote her out. And is anyone doubting that she or Lydia will win the traditional super challenge at the end of their Switzerland week? Of course she will.

Btw, I crack up every time Margie talks about how "fit and strong" she is. Margie dearest, you are 1,75 m and still around 110 kg. You need to loose almost 35 kg (!) to even be in a normal BMI range.

This is about as UNexcited as I have ever been about a group of contestants going on the "face your fears" week. I just don't want to hear them blabber about how they are "a new person" (no, they are not), how they will "never go back to the way they were" (yes, you will) and how they can "take on everything now" (yeah, right). I also don't care if they throw Margie of the Matterhorn, send Graham bungee jumping or Alex river rafting.

And just one more thing: I now hope that by some miracle Margie and Lydia DO make the finals – AND BOTH LOSE. That way they would NOT win the title, would NOT win the money and would NOT win the at-home price.

I have already written off this season and am putting my hopes in the next.

Are you sure you're not Miss Sherlock? That looks like her icon….

It's funny how the contestants voted out Lydia when they had the chance, but passed up Margie twice. That is beyond belief.

They need a "face your brain cells" week
