Don't think they did it in season 1 – it annoys me because it takes away that big surprise at the finale.

Surely Nathan doesn't have a heart??? :)

Can't help but wonder if Cam if the biggest game player of the lot. If you believe the spoilers whatever he's doing is working for him!

I reckon Bob is the best contestant this show has ever had - is there anyone who doesn't love him??

If I recall correctly they've been doing it for some of them since at least Series 2. It's possible they did them in S1 too and I just forgot.
Jodi and Jeda are likely to be next week, yep! Hopefully their transformation will actually exist.
I thinky Ramses did look a little lighter, but Tania seemed just as pudgy as ever. Underwhelming is definitely the right word for it!

Slightly off topic, but can I ask what the purpose of showing footage of Tania and Ramses was? Especially as their amazing transformation was a bit underwhelming. Do they do this every year? Will I be seeing footage of Jodi and Jeda next week? (I could really do without that ;) )

I'm fine, mother dearest, and yourself?

The reason I like Nathan so much is because he and Cosi are so similar. Sure, Cosi never used to go on about how good he was, because it was evident. Nathan's acolades as being the strongest (and if the Fatty Olympics was anything to go by, the fastest as well - Sean's leg may have cramped up, but a loss is a loss) is often overshadowed by Bob's weight loss, so he has a right to let every one know he's that damn good. And I don't think I've heard the term 'alpha male' in a while, come to think of it. Again, tonight, what would have been a brilliant weight loss under normal circumstances is seen as 'not quite enough'. If the red's were smart they'd forsake the natural 'biggest threat' elimination in favour of eliminated a person with a low weight loss (I'm thinking Meaghan - she's looking more and more beautiful by the day, sure, but I'm detecting some serious manipulative vibes coming from her) so as to keep the Red team as strong as possible. Nathan is at 110 or so, Sharif still has large numbers to pull, as does Cam. Sam is down on the weight, but no where near Meaghan (mid 80's now, isn't it?).

From a purely strategic standpoint, if Sharif or anyone else wants to stay in this game to even get close to the finale, letting Nathan go would be suicide for their chances.

Ah Wehmer, how are you? Bob is ans always has been my favourite. His is phenomenal the way he just keeps losing the weight. Keep it up Bobby. Glad Nathan will be going. Never did and never will like him. Last year I loved Cosi even though so many hated him. The difference between them is that Cosi never had to bignote himself. He just went out and did it!!!!!

You can never trust those wiley previews, but I dunno, looks pretty certain. Haven't been over to the forums yet, but I assume people are putting a negative spin on what Nathan seems set to do. People will find any excuse if they dislike someone enough.

And wow, could Bob really be any more likeable? Really, there is nothing to dislike about the guy. I love guys like Nathan because they're hard workers, but I can still see their shortcomings. It's difficult to think of one for Bob.

Teresa could go home now, she looks great. And is it just me, or does Nathan have very little skin baggage compared to other people who have lost similar amounts of weight?
