Erin Dayhaw - I want Ashley to win. I don't want Sam to win at ALL! I think Michael will win. And I think Daris will win the marathon! No one I know watches this show at all. Now I feel like I have someone to talk to about it with :]]

Tira J - I have watched this entire season so far. They are all so awesome, but my favorites are Michael and Ashley. I agree, Daris doesn't have much more weight to loose.

Candice - I L-O-V-E LOVE the Biggest Loser. It usually gives me my "good cry" every week :)

miranda reger - last week our Bible study had to meet on tuesday (we normally meet on another night), and we all agreed that we needed to start it early enough so we could make it home in time for lost. :) i too love modern family and the office.... but let's not forget about those cute kids (and coach) in texas - friday night lights!!

Jamie Yacksyzn - I am so excited for the finale of lost, but I am also pretty sad. It is pretty much my favorite show. Its always sad when a show you have watched forever finally ends. So, I really hope that finale is good.

Melissa Jill :) - Wow Matt, couldn't disagree with you more. An intrinsic part of the game is playing in a way where you get the most people's votes in the end. That means being social, forming relationships and in many instances, being the least offensive -- all of which Russell sucks at. He just flat out doesn't get part of the game and denies that it exists insisting that people should play his version. He's not the best survivor ever, he's the most delusional. I felt SO MUCH satisfaction watching the finale and the reunion show because all of this came out loud and clear. There's a reason Sandra has now won twice and it's the same reason Russell will never win.

Matt Bowker - The reason everyone hates Russel is because he actually is the best at survivor. The guy has the best read on people of anybody who's ever played, he's found and played more immunity idols than anyone, and I personally believe that he's more deserving of the win than anyone else left in the game. I was rooting for colby from the beginning. I loved him in Survivor Australia, and he's a real class act guy. He does what's right because it's right. I'm a little disappointed in how he seems to have given up on the game though. I would like for him to win, but I don't see him sitting there at the final 3 or final 2 because Russel is too smart of a player. Survivor has changed a lot over the years. The early seasons were won by people who were most deserving of the win, even if they weren't the most popular player. The later seasons have been won by popularity contests, or by votes against someone who was disliked, regardless of how well they played the game. Russel deserves to win because he's outplayed everyone. Second to that, Parvati. Jerri and Sandra have no business still being in the game.

Bri Anderson - Hi Melissa- a friend of mine follows your blog and passed it on to me- I think we may even know some of the same people...small world :-) Anyway- thought you might be excited to hear that I am actually going to the live finale taping of the Biggest Loser! I am related to O'Neal and SunShine Hampton (in a sort-of way... Uncle O'Neal is my husband's uncle, and SunShine is his cousin) so we have tickets to the finale! In fact, Uncle O'Neal was here in Scottsdale a few weeks ago, and we threw a party for him and watched an episode together :-) I have lots of inside scoop if you're ever interested.... ;-) On a side note- you are super talented!

Amanda - LOST. Best show on TV. I'm not ashamed to admit that I get really caught up in the theories and predictions ;) I am so excited for the finale, but so sad at the same time. Our Tuesday nights will never be the same.

TERRI - BTW... I hope you are all heading over to the CBS website to watch the Ponderosa clips from after each jury member is eliminated. It's almost as good as watching the show!

Melissa Jill :) - Peter - I LOVE Modern Family and the Office too. SO good. I guess I watch too much TV :). Terri & Sarah -- ya, they were taping this episode during the airing of the last one so Russell had a HUGE advantage in that no one saw him play. Stinkin' producers. I blame them for making me put up with him for this long. And Charrie -- any chance you can set me up with Daris? ;)

Charrie - Well since Daris is from my town he's definitely the one we're going for! As far as everyone being generally kind to one another...don't you remember Melissa, the mouthy one, who got in a shouting match with Jillian and Bob at a weigh-in?! Can't stand that woman!!!

Sarah Neal - Wait a second... what do you mean none of them got to watch Russell last season??? I didn't know that! This whole time I was thinking this was the most gullible bunch on the planet for not thinking he'd do the same thing twice! :) I was really hoping Rupert would make it through. And also... I didn't know Sandra had one a previous season. I would rather her see with than Parvati. She's so manipulative. She's Russell... with a social game.

TERRI - Survivor fan here... and I am with you all the way. It hadn't occurred to me that no one got to see Russell last season. Did they start taping before it aired? I totally agree about Sandra or Parvati... and funny, they are both playing exactly as they did their first times around. Didn't anyone go back and look at other seasons before going on location?

Christy - Well I don't watch all of these but I do watch the Biggest Loser and I love it!! I watched this weeks episode while I was on my elliptical, great motivation! I too was taken aback by Kolis attitude this week. But Michael is not a fav of mine I think it's amazing how far he has come however. Love Darius and Ashley. I too wish Darius could win but I agree he doesn't have enough weight to lose. I only know a handful of people who watch the show and I think it's because most people don't want to be reminded they NEED to get up off their butts! Great blog BTW.

Peter Davis - I've never watched Lost. I saw a few episodes of Survivor in the early years and I think I've seen an episode of Biggest Loser. I guess I'm more of an Office and Modern Family kind of guy! All I have to say is thank goodness for Hulu...we don't even keep a TV hooked up in the house any more!

Mike Olbinski - MJ, there is actually 3 1/2 hours of Lost left, they extended the finale to 2.5 hours :) Woooo!

Mandi - Dude, already suffering "Lost" withdrawals. Seriously. SERIOUSLY! Best show, evar. I have been playing the songs from the soundtrack on the piano. . . listening to them on my comp. Wow, I'm pretty sad, huh?

Jan - It's been a great season of Survivor, but I agree I'm getting very tired of Russell and hidden immunity idols! I don't think it was fair that none of them had seen him play. I'm sure they are all so embarrassed watching themselves trust him! And I think Parvati would have been gone first without him. Boston Rob was amazing and I hope he wins the fan favorite vote! Jeff Probst is clearly in awe of him - on the show and in his blog. If it weren't for Rob the Heroes would have dominated the game. Do you also watch the Amazing Race? It was a great season as well!

Katie D - OH MY GOSH!!! I have been watching LOST since the series premier oh so long ago... and I think I will probably have withdrawals after until I can buy the DVD's and watch it all from the start again!! I honestly can't even begin to imagine how it will all end, and in only THREE HOURS! If you lived up here in Denver I would invite to the LOST party I am having complete with polar bear cupcakes, dharma labeled drinks, dharma jumpsuits, and a strict silence rule during the show! :)

Danielle - I'm a HUGE Biggest Loser Fan! I'm not sure who will win but I think it would be amazing to see Michael or Daris as the top two! I agree this season has been one of the best all of the contestants have been really nice to each other. I have also been feeling annoyed with Koli's in the last week but I also thing he's still a good guy. I will be watching on Tuesday with you!!

julianne - I'm not sure anymore if the man in black is the bad guy. If Jacob is now the same as his mom, then I'm not too impressed with him.

ashley - Ok, out of all of your shows, I only watch the Biggest Loser. Love that show. I am routing for Daris and then Ashley. Never really been a fan of Mike and Koli lost me that last few episodes... I agree that Ashley will struggle at home but I would love for her to do great!

Sandra - Sadly I don't watch Lost, but I plan on getting the dvd's over the summer. I think you are right about Survivor. It is funny how Russel manipulates everyone and they let him, but equally amusing to watch Parvati control him with her girlish giggle. I love The Biggest Loser. It never really matters to me who wins. They are all amazing!
