Hmmm, someone on my other board said the same thing, so maybe. Although I'm still 3 pounds above where I was a few weeks ago, so I don't know. I sure don't SEE any change since then, not that I'd expect to.
And it's true, we do all check other food. The person eating Lean Cuisine next to me was totally eyeing my food. And the one with the pizza today was the same one who was on the doctor-supervised shake program here. (And OK, I'm the one who counted how many slices she took. But she's a friend and I'm a little worried. She lost all that weight and still has no idea how to eat, and here she was with four big slices of pizza.)
And I'm sure the producers pick people for a variety of reasons, including how much drama someone will bring or whether they have a compelling story. Which is how Vicky got there. And Michelle/Renee (plus because those two are gorgeous and will look amazing at the finale. It does seem like most of 'em look better than average once they've lost the weight (except Ali, who I thought looked horrible at the finale but looks much better now; I think she lost more weight at first, maybe to win the prize, and either gained a little back or it just redistributed so her face filled out a little).
