"No excuses", episode 5

If Conda rolls her eyes at the current person that she "hates so much" one more time, I'm gonna...well, I dunno. Not much, I guess. But it's still supremely annoying. Conda honey, maybe your life would be so much better if you didn't actively try to be so negative about people all the freakin' time. I mean, seriously, Adrian has a fabulous first workout with Dolvett and everyone else is pretty darn impressed, and all Conda can say is, 'yeah, that wasn't really a hard workout so it doesn't count'. Bite me, lady.

However, I agree that Adrian suffers from not knowing when to shut up and listen. He has no idea of the dynamics of the house he's just been thrown into, but he keeps shooting off his mouth, and thus simultaneously planting his foot in it. I agree wholeheartedly with him that it is demeaning for him, a grown man, to be told to shut up and listen, but I also have to admit that the people giving him this advice - as much as they should have put it differently - were right.

And I have to admit that I was thinking along the same lines as Mark in terms of, did Adrian and Daphne throw the weigh-in so they could kick ass next week? I think it's a distinct possibility. However, it's also possible that their different (on-ranch) diet was responsible. Who knows. Based on how they were acting, though, I'm leaning towards thinking it was actually game play.
