Thanks once again for your reviews Mythor. I missed the finale live as I was away but logged onto this Blog to find out what happened. And as usual , once I saw the replay , your accurate,concise report with a touch of humour and satire was not only inforamtive but also entertaining.
I wish you Good health and Best Wishes for the coming months so that next season you once again can write this Blog which in my opinion is the best around and for those of us that travel abroad during the show can log in and feel as though we have watched what has happened.

Firstly, huge thanks to Mythor for his accurate and humorous recaps, which I have been reading for the last three seasons.

It was absolutely wonderful to see Bob win. While my sentimental favourite was Sharif, I realised he could not compete with Bishop Bob. What an amazing and inspirational man Bob is! Gentle, insightful, wise, quietly determined and so unlike most policemen/ex-policemen that you have to wonder how all the police corruption (that we read about in the press and see first or second hand far too often) managed to flow over him and still allow him to relate to his peers. Such a lovely man he is – his family must be so proud and grateful to be able to claim him as one of their own and be able to learn from him.

I will look forward to Mythor's recaps next year and have to say that when 7pm comes around now, I am experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms – I don't quite know what to do with myself, as there is nothing else worthwhile to watch. I am not interested in Masterchef and wish that BL could happen twice per year instead of only once. Unrealistic I know…

the bit where he was trying to push in front of someone then was shaking his head and having words? Looked like pent up old man pussy anger to me =D

I was SO hoping it would be Bob or Tiffany, so I was stoked when Bob won it! He reminds me of my Dad, who was morbidly obese. Now I'm looking to do a Tiffany-esque transformation before next season rolls around!

that's funny pauline! my son and i looked at each other and i was saying DON't SING and then promptly turned it over ! amanda did look like she'd lost a good amount of weight though. stewart looked scared.

i was actually a bit disappointed at some of them - did they have six weeks after they left the house? i thought sammy looked good, but much the same as when they left. holly was so far up herself i thought she'd disappear. at least she doesn't have that awful stud anymore, unlike jodi - although she had lost a lot of weight.

very happy to see ben looking so good, and stoked that not only did good ole sean win, but he finally got a new tooth! shame about the pit stains. the wardrobe was bloody awful. i'm so sorry for the contestants, they deserved better.

and woo hoo to sharif - what a spunk he is now! and what can you say about bob - never a better winner - absolutely delighted to see him up there, such a sweet man.

i thought michelle looked lovely (emazon, oh dear) and shannan should just jump right into my pocket and stay there, gorgeous! my son and i laughed it up with the commando, he is so cute and funny.

i really enjoyed this season - thanks tbl and the biggest losery thanks go to the fabulous MYTHOR for the awesome recaps - see you next year!

Just rewatched and I couldn't see any argy bargy, only bit I noticed was Cam having a word with Andrew and/or Nathan? Didn't seem heated to me.

Hey did anyone else notice when AJ said it was time for Amanda to sing, some baby in the audience let out a squeal? My son and I were killing ourselves laughing. You're right Mythor, she wasnt too bad but she didnt hit the notes and dropped off the last note badly. Pavarotti would have been squirming in the ground for sure!!!!

Yes, 18.5kg lost is good, so long as she continues to lose weight. But in 6 months and, presumably, with some support from the show after leaving, it's pretty disappointing to see her only lose that much. I can't recall anyone else doing that poorly at Finale, though many have then fallen off the wagon right afterwards!

You've got at least a couple of months to work on them. Or you could use those months to start eating right and exercising so you don't need the show anyway? :)

I believe they have dresses supplied to them but I'm not 100% sure. One would hope they at least get a couple to choose from.

I like the photoshoots at the time they're shown but you're right, it'd be a very cool surprise to have them just turn up for the eliminated contestants challenge looking awesome.

I hope the bracelets don't return, but I'd rather they return than Emazon return. She was in 3 episodes! Gawd.

I watched the first episode of Masterchef and will probably keep watching, at least for a while. I want to see the vegetarian chick freak out about meat. >:D
But the smug fat food critic guy is already giving me the shits so I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stand it.
Not recapping though, if that's what you were asking. TBL is definitely enough for me. :)

They both seemed to have lost a couple of inches of roundness… But I mean literally, a couple of inches. Not a few, not many, just a couple. Kinda sad they obviously didn't even do as well as the couples who did it on the outside as “second chance” people.

Me and my recaps will still be here, patiently waiting for next year! :D

I wasn't sold on the idea at first but it did grow on me. I wouldn't mind seeing couples again either, though I hope they don't keep futzing with the teams so much next time!
