.... Chris should be sent home and out of the game on medical grounds. I am now totally convinced something has switched in his brain and he is anorexic.

I agree catienana, my partner & I were just speculating last night on whether someone like chris, could switch to becoming anorexic out of a show like this.

It'll be interesting to see - I hope for his sake it's just a bug, but he needs to be careful and eat properly

yeah we were thinking the same thing too. Shannon had made the comment the other day that Chris wasn't eating properly, and now he is stuck in bed.

I didn't miss him on that hike though. I don't think anyone else did either. With any luck he will be below the yellow line this week and they can vote his arrogant a** off the show.

They should all be so proud of themselves making that hike. Kimberly especially after adding that extra weight on at the top.

has anyone got ideas who might win this year?

To be honest, this year I don't really mind who wins as long as it's not Chris. I'd like to see Pati win though.

Last night's show only reinforced my impressions of Chris. He gets to go to NZ and there he is stuck in bed due to his own stupidity IMHO! Surely Shannon realises that Chris is ill because he is starving himself.

Um Shannon is the one that puts people on 1200 or less calories a day so I doubt he realises it. He is.. not very bright...

[EDIT} well I don't mean that to sound obnoxious, like I like him I guess.. but in Gerards interview he was saying shannon doesn't let them eat enough, and Bob put them on like 1800 but shanon lowered it to 1200 etc.  :S

Noooooooo die!

I hope pati comes last!

OMG how fun does that look!  I wanna go fly by wire-ing!
I wanna go rockclimbing!
courtneys was so scary but i want to do that as well!

[EDIT] do you think chris has OCD?

I think I am hoping that out of those left, damien or kimberlie wins. They seem to be the only two that haven't been bitchy in some way (IMO anyway) and that seem to be there more to lose weight than for money.  

Yeah, I agree  with you I really like Kim, I think she has got her priorities right and she has proved that she has the skill and the ability to do it outside of that environment.  So yes,  I too would like either Damo(have  had a soft spot for him since day one)   or Kim to win.  Totally not Chris under any circumstance....he was really odd last night again, as I keep saying  something with him is so  very very wrong.

I personally think Chris show signs of having a mild form of Austism called Asperger's Syndrome. He is socially inept, says inappropriate things at very inappropriate times, is a loner and has a very fixed view of things. I missed last night accidently recording SBS   instead of TBL
I think Shannon is not letting them eat enough calories. I like Shannon, but he is NOT Bob. What Shannon told Damien regarding rice was spot on the money though at the beginning of the week and that had to of bolstered Damien's confidence knowing that rice is starch and swells even more when you eat it and just sits. Maybe a nice compromise with the calories would be 1500 per day. So Chris joined them last night? What happened with him (saw the promo)? I too would like to see Damien and Kymberly in the final two at least.

Firstly,  Suzi don't you just hate when you tape the wrong channel, annoying !!! Well  Courtney jumped from a massive height  harnessed to this huge swing thingy, pretty impressive I must say. Kimberley had to climb up a 90 degree rock face, she lost her rag twice, it was hilarious and scary all at the same time but she made it!!! . AND Chris was placed  lying face down in this weird contraption that had some sort of motor and a funny steering apparatus and he had to negotiate up hills. Anyhoooo he got super dizzy and almost lost consciousness and had to be taken down....he was a lighter shade of pale when they pulled him in let me tell you!! Shannan gave him another lecture re: eating more etc etc and not to blow it by being so driven.

I think the only 'problem' that Chris has is that he doesn't do anything in halfs and if he does anything it has to be full on or nothing...it's a pitty this means that it drives him into the ground and he ends up in hospital

Thanks for the recap catienana and yes I do hate it when I record the wrong show!

kimberly climbed a tiny wall it looked not even scary and she went crazy

heres something to ponder...

why are most asian people usually skinny if in almost every meal they have rice?
