Am I the only one who thinks that paying a celebrity $200,000 to do Fit Club is wholly irresponsible on so many levels? First, that's a lot of money to point out that someone paid to be good looking lost hold of themselves. Second, they get additional promotional items from the show's sponsors, including trips. This really feels like a reward for being overweight! Finally, $200,000 to work out and be on camera a max 3 days a week for tapings is outrageous in this economy! Give me $200,000, I'll let you tape me all year, good and bad! I can do much better with that money, especially since I am graduating college next year and walking from my ceremony to a bankruptcy filing since I cannot afford to repay my student loans! /rant

I do feel somewhat bad for Tiffany and Maria for trying and not being able to do either detour, but I'm not sorry they got eliminated. They didn't complete a challenge in the first episode and got saved by a non-elimination leg, so getting saved twice doesn't seem fair to me. Both of those detours could have been done with finesse and not brute strength, I'm 5' 1" and 100 pounds and I can hit those bell ringers with a few tries, it's all in your swing. Picking it up and dropping the mallet less than a foot over the pin wasn't going to come close, but that's what Maria kept doing.

To Amy: If your loans are through Sallie Mae, you can apply for a 3 year economic hardship deferment of your loans if you don't get a job or if you make less than a certain dollar amount per year. Other lenders have similar programs... Check into that before you panic!

Thank you Jen! I will look into that. I may have to.
