Ron is wracked with guilt -- he knows that HE is the reason his son is fat. Growing up around a 500 pound lumbering beast sure doesn't give a kid much hope for his own future. I suppose at least young Mikey never had to worry about not having enough food in the house: that fridge was clearly well-stocked, but perhaps it was a race to see if he could get some food before Dad ate it all. Evidently, Mikey won a few of those races to the Amana...

There comes a time in a young man's life when Daddy needs to step back and let the kid take on a challenge that will usher him into manhood.

Oh, I don't know... maybe a nationally televised weight-loss show with a quarter million dollar prize might be the ticket?

While I cannot remove all culpability from Mikey himself, it is plainly obvious that Ron ruined that kid and that his eating disorder is just one of many other disorders he's got going on. Ron smothers Mikey and not just with all six of his breasts.

A real man would step down, admit his limitations, and take on the task of rebuilding his life by seeking out help and support at home. OTHER contestants have hired trainers when they leave the ranch. OTHER contestants have taken what they've learned and applied it successfully.

When you are a burden to your team, when you are going to drag them down week after week, when you know you cannot ever hope to compete at a higher level -- it is time to sacrifice yourself, be NOBLE and admit your own weaknesses.

Maybe Mikey would learn something from this: maybe he'd learn that there is "selfishness" which can help you and there is also selflessness which can do the same.

It's indeed a rare instance for me to WANT a contestant to quit ANY reality show. But when someone is utterly worthless and greedy to the point of detriment to their team AND their flesh and blood, it's time to go. I'm not suggesting that Ron quit TRYING at home (even though he will), but this man needs a lesson in charity.

GREED and GLUTTONY ooze from his every pore. Anyone who can EAT THEMSELVES into such a state of sorry disrepair is indeed disturbed. The best way for Ron to learn about loving himself would be to step away from the ranch and give his team a fighting chance. In giving, we grow and we EARN.

Ron's a classic whiner who doesn't take responsibility for what he has become. Hey, I can understand why he hates himself; he's got a lot to despise, both in the mirror and in his own tortured soul.

I can't stand looking at him anymore, even when he's wearing a shirt.

And these Blue Team imbeciles deserve to go, go, go. You do not vote off a record-breaker when you are still in TEAM PLAY. (You do that later, first chance you get.)

Oh, and Mikey... I've never heard of a kid having an umbilical cord attached to his FATHER. That's just gross. Time for you to grow up and take responsibility. Sure, Daddy's example helped make you fat but YOU still shoved all that food into your own mouth. And at 19 you can no longer place blame on anyone BUT yourself. You are adult enough to realize what you've done and that Daddy's presence is only holding you back. If YOU were a real man you'd let Daddy leave. Maybe you can do that now that big, bad Dane is gone?

Hey, I've got Steamers in the freezer right now, too! I'm not sure which brand, though.

I didn't eat any of those last night, however. I baked a chocolate cake instead now that the cookies are gone.
