The Biggest Loser


Jo's tears said it all for me today. It was terrible to watch them all conquer the bridge challenge. Putting Dave under that pressure and compulsion was irresponsible and dangerous in my book. His life was literally on the line because of his state of health and then the emotional pressure to perform as part of a team. Cruel. Cruel. Cruel. So when Jo's tears fell so freely my heart was crying too. No one should be put in the position of choosing the team's winning over their own health and well being and the truth is, he may be voted off for holding them up and yet he did something far greater than all of them and far greater than I sitting in my comfy chair. Cat,too, fought her own deep seated terror. I guess it was amazing to see them all, both teams galvanise as a group of human beings knowing just what had been risked for that challenge. Freaky stuff. It will be interesting to see how it plays out because the blue team made the human decision and supported the real price the red team had paid tonight for our entertainment and a team winning. They met their own challenge in the restaurant in a good way. They watched each other, enjoyed it, made some sane social and eating decisions and showed a pretty healthy approach to it all. In terms of humanity it was a great show and they are all fantastic people. The bottom line is how big you are on the inside , and on the inside they are all big people.
