I'm still watching. I have this episode on the dvr now, we were watching election returns last night and I didn't get to see it.

I like this new version better where the contestant with lowest weightloss on the losing team is eliminated. Much more fair than before where it was more of a popularity or strategy contest.

I think Bob Harper is doing a great job as host.

I’m still watching too but haven’t seen this episode yet; but, I agree, I think this one is more fair than the other way they used to do it.

I don't watch the show but read the article. I have to say I'm proud of her for forging ahead to keep her team from being eliminated. A broken ankle is tough to modify around.

She decided to stay in and the trainer had her working out sitting in a chair. She did great and ended up losing a pretty good amount for the week. (I can’t remember exactly how much though).

No surprise! The workouts and Iron Man, Mud Runner type contests are so unsafe, especially for formerly sedentary people.

I watched the episode last night. I cringed when I saw her jump into the mud pit! The other contestant ran into it. It was like jumping onto cement from a high point.

She did really well with just doing the cardio she could seated. I think she lost 6 lbs. which was one of the higher losses. I think "diet" is the key, if she can control that she still has a chance.

I'm so happy they went from teams to individuals. Now they all have a better chance.

Kathy - I cringed too when I saw her jump in that mud pit!
