****2/08/11 Discussion Thread Spoilers***

[PWS]

There doesn't seem to be a thread for tonight, so thought I'd start one.
Please only discuss TBL here until after 1 am EST.

I understand why Arthur did what he did, but not why he talked about it.... Crazy. Did he really think everyone would support him? If he'd kept quiet his team would have thought the other team did it. Not "honorable", but definitely smarter.

i thought I had seen the dumbest people ever on a reality show watching the last season of Survivor. But Arthur now can be crowned the Dumb and Dumber Champion. I too can see his logic of swapping team members but to tell people about it was the kiss of death.

Side note: after watching both Q and Arthur gobble that chocolate during the temptation challenge I have a bad feeling that neither will be able to keep the weight off after the show is over, their addictions are bone deep.

[MrsClaus]

Kids distracted me. Can anyone give me a quick version of Arthur's reasons for switching the players?

I missed Q eating but Arthur sure mowed through that chocolate. Not a good sign for being able to keep the weight off.

is it just me or does the previous yellow team (aka olympic dude and partner)think they are the king's of this show. I just really don't like them...Sorry...

Ha oh and I love the "look of worry" on the new girl trainer's face with Jillian walking around and talking..Nobody messes w ME
I love you Jillian

Arthur's thinking was that he wanted to protect himself by getting another "weak" team on his team, who would be more below the yellow line than him. That might have worked if no one knew what he was doing, but.... Basically he figured his team would vote off the weakest persons, so he and his dad would be safe for at least 2 weeks, even if they lost 2 weeks in a row.
Jenn and her dad, Jay, are the newbies on red, and she's safe, so her dad is vulnerable.

[PWS]

Wow, Q looks very vulnerable now... They should have had his wife stay... He's gone.

[PWS]

Q started at 437, now 345, lost 92 so far. He's hoping to lose 100+ more by the end.

Episodes like tonight's remind me why I love this show.
