I've been wondering about this, too, but, then I thought back to when I went to Thailand from the East Coast. 27 hours in the air, and you end up feeling like a blimp with all the water you retain after just sitting for that long. So, that would be why everyone had such low numbers. I also surmise that Mark and Jay may have done some water loading, as they didn't realize they would be retaining fluids.

Now, I think they also cheated a bit on how much water they consumed the last day at the ranch so they all came in a little dehydrated. If they really sweated their asses off that day, it could make a huge difference.

I also find it interesting that no one has ever posted noting that in the case of women who are in a group together tend to have their menstrual cycles synchronise. So, you will see times at the Biggest Loser when all the women on a team are posting low numbers and all are posting high numbers, simply because of how their bodies may or may not be retaining water because of that time of the month. I think the last week at the ranch hit at just the right time for them, when they were mid-cycle and not retaining water. Now, if it were 2 weeks later, it would have been those two below the yellow line. Just something to consider, eh?
