I noticed how ripped he was during last week's challenge. When did "criteria" become singular?

I'm surprised to learn that he's from Essex. It sounds like a Midlands sort of accent to me, maybe Leicester? Perhaps he grew up in the Midlands and moved to Essex. Until this season, there has never been a group where I have liked everyone. It's so sad to see any of them leave!

This is actually the sort of thing that would fascinated me normally, but I watched the first show of this series, and it was excruciatingly slow. I didn't even make it to the operation, it was so dull and full of unnecessary details.

If watching these two doesn't make you want to avoid drugs for the rest of your life, nothing will.

This episode makes no damned sense. WTF.

A&E is starting a series on April 22 at 9 pm called "Quarter Ton Teen". It is produced by Younan Nowzaradan. Maybe they are closing out this show and focusing on this new one instead.

He's going fishing, but he can't get his ass to the clinic to be weighed?

Dr. Paradise is probably taller than him, too

I think they both have their issues. Instead of working well together and being supportive, they are coming apart at the seams. It is unpleasant to watch. I hope they either turn it around or make a quick exit

On his Instagram, David Murphy said "I wasn't allowed to participate, beyond that I can't say anything else...NDAs" He is doublefastdave

Husband says that she "has been working on this for a long time". No, she has only been working on this for three months. The other seven months she did nothing.

Well, I am glad I was wrong, but what a weird episode. All of a sudden she is walking on her own and looks way smaller in the hips. Good for her!

This episode has really gone off the rails. I don't see any hope here.

I was not a huge fan of this season, and judging from the few posts so far, I think people felt pretty "meh" about it, too. It's a shame, because I like everyone very much, with one exception - Dani. I would have liked less about Dani, and more the others. Journey was lovely, but I agree that she should have had more age-appropriate dates. The background music seemed louder and more intrusive this time around. It reminded me of children's shows, where background music or sound effects get louder to help express the emotions the show wants to convey. Considering that this show has been criticized for being condescending, I don't think the louder background music is a good choice.
