georgiapeach:
Is it actually on? ???
I'm all caught up in the Inauguration, and thought the coverage would preempt the show....
Just checked, looks like it is on! May have to be a TiVo job for me though, but thanks for the reminder!

Yes it is on tonight you could always record it and watch it later :kuss:
I did post earlier the episode details but here it is again:
This week kicks off with a temptation that host Alison Sweeney tells the contestants will allow one player to reunite with their teammate at home and bring their trainer with them. But the reunion doesn't go exactly as planned when fireworks erupt between the two teammates after one player accuses the other of not doing all she can to stay on the ranch. Meanwhile the contestants check in with Dr. Huizenga to see how far they've come and how many medications they no longer need from the first three weeks of weight loss. Then a wild jump rope-like challenge results in immunity at this week's weigh in for the winner, followed by a surprising elimination that sends another contestant packing.
georgiapeach:
Heh, let me guess? Joelle takes the temptation, and I hope her teammate gives her hell heck.
Sounds like another good one! :yess:

An interview with Jerry:
“This body isn’t as old as I thought it was”
What was the biggest surprise about being on the ranch?
I thought it was going to be a gradual work up, not six to eight hours, boom, right off the bat, okay. And you had to cook for yourself; you did everything for yourself. Those were all kind of shockers. But after you’re there for awhile, you better learn how to cook for yourself.
The big scene this week was Bob’s blowup at Joelle. Did anything else happen that led to that?
No. You saw it. Sometimes she just wouldn’t do the workout. When we were in the gym, there was homework where they wouldn’t be there, and we’d go off and we’d have to do our own program at three or four hours. They’d tell us what to do, and we’d do it. And she wouldn’t always follow that. She was doing her own thing at times. So it just led up to that. I couldn’t believe it. He just got frustrated. I guess he never does - that was a unique situation.
Are you keeping up with your work outs?
Yes. Right now I’ve lost 96 pounds since I started on the ranch. I work out three and a half hours a day, six days a week. I’m not kidding you. I started out as a couch potato. Four months ago, I didn’t get off the sofa.
What benefits are you seeing?
We’re more active. We used to take our grandchildren places but we’d sit down on the bench and let them do it. Now we’re doing it with them. My grandson now calls me less fluffy. I’m not a diabetic anymore. It’s just gone. It’s gone. My blood pressure’s well under control and my cholesterol is - I think I’m lower than an 18-year-old, so - unbelievable.
What other changes have you made?
We used to go out to eat a lot. We don’t do that anymore. When our grandson spends the night with us, we get him stuff to eat, but we’re pretty good as far as food. We’re not tempted too much. And it’s probably because we’re doing it together.
What was the hardest part of the whole experience for you?
To get my mind around it that I could do it, to tell you the truth. I thought my body couldn’t do it. But my body was in much better shape for this thing than I thought it was. I’m very careful with my joints and everything. So this 63-year-old body isn’t as old as I thought it was. I think it’s not so much my age as the fact that I was on a couch for 25 years not doing anything.
Who are you in touch with?
Daniel and I are friends. We talk all the time. Joelle just called me. We’re starting to talk. I’m starting to talk to Shannon – emails right now. And, well, that’s about it. We do talk from time to time, all of us together.
What do you talk about?
It’s emotional. It’s more, you know, “How you doing?” You know, live strong, that kind of stuff. We don’t talk about weight loss so much, it’s more support.
What’s your advice for other grandparents who are maybe discouraged about starting a fitness program?
I think you need help. I got a trainer. You have to start slow, but just keep trying and trying and you’ll get faster, you’ll get stronger. And you need support, whether it’s your spouse or a friend or — at the health center that we go to there’s a community of seniors that feed off of each other. And you’ve just got to believe. There’s a sign in the gym that says, “Believe in yourself, trust in the process and change forever.” I keep quoting that to myself whenever I’m doubting it. And it’s working.
Is your current trainer anything like Jillian?
She’s strong. She pushes me. Doesn’t quite as yell as much but pokes at me.
Are you in touch with Jillian?
Me and Jillian email once a week if not more. She’s cool. You could fire an email to her any night or day and within an hour you’ve got an answer back. You don’t see it in the gym, but she text messages constantly when she’s yelling and screaming at you. She’s great, great woman.
