Following the latest episode of The Biggest Loser, one would think that a 5 pound advantage won by the black team would assure a victory at The Biggest Loser weigh in. It wasn't so, as Sherry saw her time on The Biggest Loser ranch come to an end.

Co-writers and co-directors, John Musker and Ron Clements, embarked upon a Disney journey that took the two into the bayous of Louisiana and the world of Voodoo before finding their way into classic jazz, former Disney classics, the new animation of Pixar, and the music of Randy Newman. Ahead of the DVD and Blu-ray release of The Princess and the Frog, we ventured into the online bayou for a virtual roundtable chat with John Musker and Ron Clements to learn more about bringing The Princess and the Frog to life and how they blended story and music with the magic of Disney animation.

Although Tom and Colby managed to sway J.T. a week earlier, J.T. became the swing vote once again but couldn't break away from his original Heroes alliance for his own sake even though James became a potential Survivor liability with a leg injury.

The day after Tom was voted out of Survivor and the Heroes tribe, we got the chance to pick Tom's brain about why the Heroes kept James in the tribe, why Tom and Colby couldn't get J.T. onside for a second time, and what surprised him most about the Villains.

The next day we caught up with Joe and Heidi to learn more about their time on The Amazing Race, how they endured the battlefield, and what Joe and Heidi thought of being handed a U-Turn.
