I don't respect cheaters on TBL any more than I do cheaters in pro sports.

I like Tara, so I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt for now, but if she is h20 loading she should be disqualified. I am sure she was holding back on the workouts even though she was giving her all in the challenges. It doesn't make sense how she is able to fly through all of these challenges and not have that same momentum for her workouts.

Damn pete still in good shape. Keep it up. I live in the UK so I don't get to see the ep's till someone uploads them online. Thanks for the updates.

What's your take on those who have immunity loading up on water before they weigh in? My husband and I disagree on this one. He says it's all in the game. I say it's cheating, plain and simple. I think it's playing dirty.

[tedpenlee]

It is cheating and it is part of the game. It is hard to prove since their are no cameras in the bathroom.

How is it cheating? They aren't taking drugs or anything. There are particular rules they are told to follow, and how much you eat or drink is up to you. If you get immunity, then your smartest move would be to eat or drink right before weighing in so that you would be in good position the following week. It's not like they tampered with someone's equipment or something. They are all putting food and drink in their mouths. The amount is up to them.

[gardenwife]

It's just false, not honest. I'd be ashamed to send someone else home knowing I'd loaded up on water and that's the only reason I showed a big number the next week. To me, that lacks integrity.

Pete I am so glad you do this. I couldn't believe I missed yesterday; I totally forgot because of a play I'm writing for church. But I just wanted to let you know that YOU are the reason I am a fan of this show! I started watching in season 2 and was so disappointed when they voted you off but when I saw how skinny you got, I cried like a baby!! Thanks for being an inspiration and for not being ashamed to rep Christ (Mr. Hallelujah $100,000 winner! Lol!)

Thanks for doing these recaps. I watch the show but it's good for people o point out stuff I missed because I usualy miss stuff because my house gets noisy.
