    I'm soooo excited for the new season premiere tonight!! I think it'll be interesting to see how it is with just 2 trainers this time (I'm assuming it'll just be 2). I've definitely missed seeing Bob every week ;)

    I will watch it! I am hooked and it gives me motivation to work out. I happened to catch a show on discovery health about Eric the winner who gained alot of his weight back.  It was really sad.

    My sister and my BIL are coming over and we're going to all watch it together. It always really inspires me too. I kind of adopt the trainers as mine too lol. I'm always in better shape after a season of BL ends! I will def be back to chat about it later or tomorrow :)

    This show is right up my alley (wish I could be on it!), but for some reason I've only watched a couple episodes here and there throughout the years.  But this season I'm going to definitely watch all of them and hopefully learn a lot to improve my own health. :)

    Love this show, and also really glad Anna is gone. I didn't like her as a trainer. I still miss Jillian though :(. 

    It's starting now! 

    ETA- I must be the worst BL viewer.. you all work out while it's on and I usually eat.. lol. I should learn a thing or two from you motivated ladies.

    I got into it last season and watched every episode so I am HOOKED! Strange the seasons are so close together though. PS... like the "singles" format better than the "pairs"

    Wow - really short break between seasons!  I didn't realize it was starting again already until I saw it recording last night for me.

    I already really like the pink team.  For some reason I tend to always be drawn to the ex-athletes who have let themselves go.  I feel like I relate to them alot since I used to be way more athletic and in-shape than I am now.

    If you had to pick between Bob and Dolvett, who would you want to be your trainer?  I'd pick Dolvett - I like his hard-core style but that he is also able to connect on such a personal level.

    I was so confused, I thought they moved it to Wednesday nights because we recorded fear factor and watched it last night and they were running commericals saying "Tomorrow night" so I'm excited it's started!

    Going to watch it on hulu right now!

    I would pick Bob. If Jillian were still on, I would pick her. She is my all time favorite trainer. I liked the pink team too. I think they are both going to look so beautiful, they already do, but it is fun to see the younger girls my age loose the way and dress all cute!

    I really can't believe that someone volunteered to go home the first week. He did seem to be doing pretty well at home though.

    It was sooooo good! I'm also on board with Team Pink...especially the blonde. She's so cute!! Love her hair :)

    I would pick Bob. My sister and I were talking about that last night actually. She would for sure pick Dolvett, she just loves his style and the way that he trains. I'm just a Bob girl at heart!

    I watched it, and baked and ate cookies while doing so. Bah! 

    @Running Elley: I really like the pink team too

     @PennyLainne: The guy that has 9 kids and one on the way asked to be voted off and so the group did. I never understand that. However, since his wife is pregnant I wonder if he came because he didn't want to disappoint his partner, assuming he applied before he knew she was pregnant, and when he realized there was a way to get out by himself, it probably just seemed like an open window to jump out of.

    I watched the first hour or so. I thought it was ridiculous that the trainers came in by helicopter and motorcycle. They are not Greek gods, people! Yeesh. Anyway, I would pick Dolvett. Bob just seems crazy.

    I liked the pink team too. But I'm not sure the point of teaming people up just to announce that there won't be any teams.

    @Over the Moon: They applied as doubles. So they are all partners and then to mix it up the pinned them against eachother. Oh reality TV. lol

    @Over the Moon: I didn't really like the pairing and then breaking up either. I think when you have teams the advantage is more when you go home that you have that support of someone who has gone through it too. I don't like splitting it just to up the drama factor.

    @PennyLainne: I'm confused, I thought the pink team were strangers until they met at the ranch?

    @PennyLainne: To add to mwitter's update on the guy who went home...they showed him where he's at now and he's lost 50 pounds while at home! He still has a ways to go but it seemed like he's been doing really well!

    @Over the Moon: The pink team were the only ones who were strangers until they met on the ranch...all of the other teams already knew each other.

    @Running Elley: That's what I thought re: the pink team. What I thought was goofy was how the show paired them up and talked about them working together as a team, getting to know each other, having their former athleticism in common... then maybe fifteen minutes later they announce there will be no teams!

    @Over the Moon: All of the teams applied as partners except for the pink team.  They were strangers put together when they arrived at the ranch.  This was (IMO) to make the other teams believe that that was this season's twist - a team of strangers vs. the teams of siblings, parents/children, married couples, etc.

    Then they surprise them with the actual twist of dividing the teams.

    I actually am intrigued by the twist.  They still get the emotional support of their partners (both on the ranch and at home) but they also have to learn to believe in and do things for themselves and stand on their own two feet (more so than they would have to if they got to work with their partner 100%).

    The seasons are always that close together. I am so glad Dolvett is back, I really like him and definitely would pick him if I could. Really though, there is no bad choice in that situation.

    I was kind of wow'd with all of the really low weight losses the first week. I know this group is a little smaller than usual, but still. Five pounds the first week??? I was going to root for Ben, but then he asked to go home. Kind of selfish if you ask me. So far Im rooting for the ex-pro wrestler. I can't remember her name or color. I think she's on Dolvett's team though. I loved his reaction at winning the weigh in. Super can't wait for next week, looks like its going to be a good twist.

    Is anybody still watching this? If so, what did you think of last night's episode? I thought it was very sneaky how the black team was sabotaging their own weigh in, so they could vote Daphne off.

    I haven't watched last night yet, but I love the show (I honestly can't quite say why as it is the same season after season, and I fast forward through a LOT of it).  and I miss Jillian....I am not sure how many more seasons I will watch without her on it.

    @Janna19:  I never watched the show when she was on it, but I heard she was a great trainer. I like her workout DVD's.
