Balance of Food

Here is the latest weight chart update. I missed the first few minutes thanks to my day job, but I saw Suzy drinking 48 little milkshakes. The "prize" was to get home-cooked meals while everyone else ate out. Given that Suzy lost 4 and Ryan lost 5 (Ryan was picked by Suzy), that plan worked. Eating out is tough, especially doing it so early (Week 3). I know from my own efforts that eating out creates pressures; alone or with people you like, but especially with people you like. Even if they are trying to lose weight, too, the herd mentality has an effect. Matt somehow ordered a dessert that Jillian poured salt on it. That was good TV. Jen must not have done well. She was the only one not to lose any weight at all. The other stunt, uh, I mean, challenge, involved carrying balls through train cars. Somehow, Pete and Ryan ended up in the hospital: Pete for shortness of breath, Ryan for asthma. That's just depressing. This show would be more informative if we saw what they do and not do, then stupid challenges. But they make for "good TV." Still, we have no feeling about any of these people. Nick got eliminated but that was obvious. As for who is next, I truly have no idea.
