Paul and Kelly's decision to give up the letters was sincere, I think. It should have been a win/win situation for them, because I really don't think they wanted the letters for exactly the reasons they stated. I do think it could do more harm than good if you let yourself get distracted and homesick. And it was also nice to give so many the opportunity rather than just the 2 of them. But it could backfire if too many think of it as a bribe, or sucking up, rather than a generous act.
I am so happy the show is throwing in twists that might make people think twice about scale manipulation. I understand why they do it, and I understand that this was a great opportunity to get rid of the black team, but I just can't respect it.
Am I the only one who thinks those 2 football guys are being ignored? I understand that people must really like them and they are good to have around, but if you really want to play the game, they are the team to be sent home, if you couldn't send home Black. 2 men with massive amounts of weight to lose.....
But we'll see what happens next week.
I was also pleased that there seemed to be less products being pushed this week.
I do really wish they would show more of the methods of how they lose this weight. I love to see them working hard -- it makes me want to work that hard too. A little less 'game', and 'drama' and more of the basics, please.
