ughhh you'll laugh now… so did all you said for firefox, had to reboot computer, came back onto this page, and now I can see a "putlocker" video, which always works fine on Chrome, so I did all that for nothing…. good for future reference thought, so thanks

@ Chifleta: You + Tenerife + paella= me booking a flight. XD Not too far from Düsseldorf, so be warned, lol!

Is it just me or is the Australian TBL version once again miles better than the US Version this season? I mean, yes Adrian didn't know when to keep his mouth shut and he was as aggravating as nails on a chalkboard, but he also had a point. He never WAS given a chance.

I just cannot warm up to the contestants this year. You knew from day one that they would push Chism straight into the finale and he has Bob's almost undivided attention. So I find it hard to root for someone who already has the winner's edit. Dito Cassandra.

And I am disgusted by people like Conda and Kim and a good number of other people in both teams. I am also increasingly annoyed by Bob who nowadays just want to win. If you don't deliver the numbers (Gayle!), you are deadwood that screws up his team's weigh-in results.

I thoroughly enjoy the Australian edition. On the other hand if I wasn't able to watch the US version anymore, I don't think I would be bothered all that much. And it has been like that for a couple of seasons now.

Having said that: Goodbye Adrian, goodbye Adrian's red velvet dinner jacket… and goodbye Adrian's silk cravat. HILARIOUS! XD

This season is better than last. That said, it's still downhill from what it used to be. I used to practically fall in love with a few of the contestants but no more. It's like they're going out of their way to show everyone's bad side and yes, that includes Bob. Can't believe he changed that much in a few months though. I suspect he and Dolvett were told to play up the competition between them to make things more interesting. Get a little meaner to make up for the lack of Jillian. But we fans were happy with nice caring Bob.

I like Adrien and his sister. They sort of remind me of me (so far from what I've seen). While I'm more like Daphne… i.e. I know to keep my mouth shut, I'm also a bit like Adrien in the sense that if someone disrespects me or knocks me down I will not stand for it! I just have too much respect for myself to be disrespected like he is by the red team but really primarily by Conda.

I also see the glaring difference between this and the Aussie versions. I love Shannan and Commando… and I like the 2 girl trainers! I find I care about the contestants' journey and I do cheer them on. This last episode where Lydia named her demons I had hope for her that she'd beat them! Even if she's not one of my faves I hope she can become a better person I do miss this show when it's over too!

On the American version there's nothing and noone to like. The host is good but not as warm as Hayley. The contestants for the most part are bland OR nasty manipulators (*cough* Conda *cough*). I know they cast these people for drama… hoping to draw in viewers. But I know I'd much rather watch a group of nice, kind people make progress in the struggle to lose weight then hear Conda's toxicity. Her non-stop snides at Adrien were so unprofessional and childlish. I cannot believe this girl is a MOTHER! It gets to a person tho… to always overhear your name being disrespected. I'm glad Adrien stood up to them, I'm glad he even exited a different way and I liked his cravat because he was an individual and not a sheep I hope his charity suceeds.

As to what Dolvet said…yes Adrien has listening problems but Dolvet may be biased. He only worked his guy out for a week, while the rest for 5 weeks… he's more attached to them and their words have more value to him.

What kind of name is Chism? It sounds like some kind of painful spotty rash.
Oh good grief I just googled it……wish I hadn't – see the Urban dictionary! :X

Ugh…*shudder*…moving right along.

These people are, generally speaking, SO unlikeable with all their whooping, bitching, eye- rolling, threatening to leave, neck waggling….
You have to wonder what kind of criteria, apart from their weight issues, they have to meet to get a place on the show.

Having said that there are a few I quite like. Best of an unpleasant bunch though.

Adrian didn't listen…exactly as everyone said. It looked to me like any time anyone spoke to him he was busy formulating what he was going to say next. Hope he does well at home though. He has a lovely family

Good point. Feeling like Dolvett got his glory may very well have ramped up the competition. That said, I do wonder how much we see of the real people and how much is the character they play. I believed Bob was kind and caring and Jillian was mean. LOL But perhaps not.

@ Annie & Chifleta: LMAO! You guys have me in stitches! XD Thanks for the chuckle.

Chifleta, I can just picture your hubby and his liberal interpretation of a "drop". XD

Oh, and Annie? I did of course go to the Urban Dictionary looking up Chism – and learned a new phrase (I am not a native speaker): PENIS BUTTER. XD

At first I thought that poor Chism's parents had just gotten the spelling wrong: Because it is actually spelled SCHISM and refers to the devide between religous group or churches. Isn't Chism's dad a minister? You would think he knows how to spell it, lol!

But then I noticed on the Wiki page that the boy's real name is ISAAC and "Chism" is just his nickname!

So I guess we can take bets if he got his nickname from the Urban Dictionary definition for Chism or from Schism, the religious devide. A teenage boy his age? I know what MY money is on, lol! They come with their own built-in entertainment kit. XD

Well I will agree with yinz that Conda is a spoiled, bratty, whiny lil bitch. The way she smirks and rolls her eyes is so immature and annoying. Dolvette should toss her out of the gym a second time

But I can't agree about Adrian not being given a chance. Everytime anyone was talking or anything was happening, he wanted to make it all about himself. He even used last week's elimination as a stage to whine about himself and blah blah blah He just didn't *get it*. Anybody who comes in later has to realize they are outsiders and won't be welcomed as saviors. Adrian wouldn't take a hint. He should have recognized the hostile situation and acted accordingly, instead of getting all ghetto and confrontational and "I'm gonna check you" bullshit. He guaranteed that he wouldn't get welcomed. And out he went!

Hello – I don't normally post comments but I just wanted to point out that this is in the wrong category. Australian version? Oh, how it wishes it were!

TVFan – I'll take this chance to also say a big big thank you!! Your hard work is certainly appreciated. I've been watching the Putlocker videos and haven't had any problems so far (touch wood!). In fact, it's been working better than it did before – the video is a decent size and there's no silly "you've watched too much, get lost" messages after half an hour.

I'm glad Adrian's gone and I just hope Conda's next.
