Never watched the show, but I’m curious-how did they sabotage a weigh-in?

Throwing the weigh-in is nothing new, at least on the individual level. Plenty of contestants have water-loaded before getting on the scale if they were confident they coudn’t go home and wanted to boost their numbers for the following week.

I forgot the thing that really got me to stop watching this show - the two hour episodes. Pardon the pun, but there was so much fat they could have trimmed from each show and fit it into an hour. They did this occasionally for scheduling events; they should do it each week.
