I freely admit to being a bit of a pouter and at this point there is probably nothing Neil could do to put himself back in my good graces (like he cares LOLOL). Would be great to see Kae win, she has tried so hard to stay on the outside of all the drama and game-playing and is really taking this process seriously. I am still not convinced that Amy is any better than Neil although she did seem to really try in the challenge this week. The other three women: Holly, Isabeau and Julie haven't really made an impression on me one way or another. Julie seems to be having a REALLY hard time losing weight which makes me think that either 1) she isn't working that hard or cheating on eating.. neither of which they have shown us in the editting or 2) unlike some of the others she did not gorge another 10-20 pounds just before joining the show.

I echo the sentiment that this season is leaving me a bit colder then in the past. The in-your-face manipulating, the obvious product placements, etc. Still motivating though and I hope its around for many seasons to come.

I'm tired of Kim.

This product placement is outrageous this season. It makes me actually NOT want to buy anything on the show. (I'm being stubborn.)

Despite my complaining, I still find this show to be motivating. I hope it sticks around for a long time.

I'm hoping Kae wins. I'm not a Julie fan, but I'm glad she won the car. Constantly being on someone else's schedule is tough. She'll enjoy the freedom.

okay, liked the idea of recycling but to constantly bash us over the head with blurbs was irritating.

BIG prizes for that team. Good looking vehicles.

Ditto Sunshyne.

The thing that gets me about the car is that buying one is usually the cheap part. It's the gas and insurance and maintenance that kills ya.

Rissa - I read an article where Jillian was interviewed and she said flat out that Julie worked her tail off and did everything right. She's just the type of person/body that doesn't drop those huge numbers week after week.

ECHOING here what mostly has already been said.

The product placement is boring and done in obvious ways...boring!

Kim seems to be under the delusion that this is all about her. IMHO that is why she is such a failure at motivating her team along with the fact she does not have great people skills nor does she appear to empathize with the players. Hope she is not back next year.

Kae is such an inspiration...did you notice that instead of laying around and pouting after the new teams were picked....she went for a run! If I had picked the teams I would have put myself with Kae and then imulated every thing she did. She seems to really get it and I want it too!

Amy???? I think she is being very sneaky and decietful...I would bet that that is who Bill? is speaking of in the pro mo for next week when he tells someone (Kae?) that "she is lying to you". I just do not trust that girl. She also seems very insincere in her words and deeds to me. Just a strong feeling I have....she is the snake to watch out for.

STILL do not like the new host...bring Carolyn back!

One more thing....Hope they do the make over reward soon.....Nicole is in great need of a new more stylish and flattering hair do...everytime I see her with it down, I just want to pull it back away from her face a little, layer it and give her a little heighth on top. Beautiful girl but that hair do is not flattering her at all.

Thank goodness, Amy is going. I hope and hope that Kae wins this thing. She seems to be one who will keep the weight off.

Is it me, or does this season's "contestants" not dropping weight like season's past? I don't know if that is a good or bad thing though.

I fell asleep. Who won the 24 hours at home. Last thing I remember they were in the pool and Kae wasn't doing well.

Holly won the 24hrs @ home and immunity if she didn't gain weight while away. She was allowed to choose someone else to win the same prize and she chose Julie. They both didn't lose any weight, but didn't gain, so they kept their immunity.

Amy and Bryan fell below the yellow line and the black team coach tried her best to get all the black team members to keep Amy, although one of them balked and HAH HAH voted Amy out as did the rest of the house and Amy went home. I was furious Jillian? ..is she the black team coach for pushing the real black team soooo hard to keep Amy. I felt she was trying to get the other coach booted as I feel there is some jealousy there. I'm so glad Isabeau came to her senses.

Tonight's show once again showed how Amy will do anything for attention, but the work she needs to do to stay on the show. She took off her red shirt and tried to give it back to her old coach, who told her to keep it; it was like a slap in the face. She tried to tell her others in the house didn't respect her for what she did, but Amy told her she was wrong. She then goes to her new coach to get a hug 'cause the that bad ole mean coach upset her. In the middle of the show Amy again started whining how 2 got to go home and she didn't and it was brought up again how she's always saying she wants to go home. Well...they gave her what she wanted. Goodbye, Amy.

As she was leaving she again tried to stir up trouble by telling the black team the Isabeau would stab them in the back. Sheesh!

Amy actually did better at home than on the ranch. Glad she's gone and I don't know what Jillian was thinking. I was really getting tired of the Us vs Them mentality and Jillian did her best to proliferate it.

I mean...I don't like Kim either...but getting rid of Amy was the right thing to do. Finally.

But still...nobody will ever surpass Kai, from season 3, as the worst contestant evuh!

I agree that this season the contestants don't seem to be having the dramatic weight loss as in previous seasons.

It was Isabeau who balked and voted Amy out. I started out thinking that was crazy but I think it was probably right and anyway she sure did keep it up at home.. she looked amazing!

I'm 100% on TEAM KAE!!! And I thought if they were really going to have a triathalon, instead of just two elimination contests with a swim to win, then Kae should have started on the treadmill IMMEDIATELY after she got off the bike to be followed by the next bike finisher, etc., and when she finished on the treadmill.. right into the water. Sure the former swim coach might STILL have won but it would have been fairer. Still probably best for Kae that she stayed on campus. But for such a powerful win, it seemed flawed to me, design-wise. Not to mention that it gave immunity not just to the "winner" but to an ally and so the two who lost the least were protected.

Look forward to the makeovers next week!

I'm not wild about Jillian's behavior, I didn't care for Bob's temper tantrum tonight regarding the last vote and I also find Kim's lashing out at Amy to be childish.. In other words, I wasn't real proud of any of the trainers this week. I'd have liked to have seen Kae being congratulated heartily for NOT eating the donuts. It was a bigger risk for her and she held off on the temptation. Then she ROCKED on the biking and the running as well.

Wow, I guess I'll be the whiner and pouter now.

I am so over this show. I missed last week's episode because I was out of town so I tried to catch up tonight...ugh! The "donut challenge" was disgusting. I was repulsed. Gross! Every time Neil's face was on the screen I wanted to throw my slipper (or a donut, if I had one..lol) at the TV. This show has jumped the shark...too bad so sad. Nothing interesting or inspiring about it. Even Jillian has turned out to be a bit of a crazy.

I also was hoping to see someone mention Kae not eating the donuts! Actually I was kinda hoping there was a secret prize for the person that did resist! Isabeau took a stand and voted for who she wanted. And IMOP that is the way it should be. The trainers should stay out of the vote part.

I'm glad that Amy is gone. She was so negative. I'm happy to see how well she's done at home.

I don't think Kae gets enough encouragement for sticking with her program. I hope if she doesn't win, something special is done for her by the producers (like a mini vacay).

The donut challenge was disgusting. I had to look away from the screen. I would have been humilitated to see myself on screen digging through stacks of donuts.

Just want to ditto everyone this morning. LOL Was hoping the trainers would go ape-*$&% on those who ate the donuts and Kae would get credit for being the lone stand-out. Was hoping the triathalon was run in a fair manner (add the times for the bike, run and swim). The way they did it, you could save yourself on the bike as long as you came in 6th so you were fresher for the run and same for the run to swim.

I was a little disapointed in Jillian too, for the same reason that people here were upset with Kim weeks ago. She should have stayed out of the discussion and not encouraged who the team should vote for. Be the trainer!!! Stay out of the game. Was hoping Bill would vote for Amy too so Isabeau wouldn't be out there on her own. He had a good reason... Amy was actually losing MORE weight % then B. Will be interesting next week to hear what Jillian has to say to Isabeau.

The two contestants being at home then flat-lining on the scale is such a great example of why people get frustrated and fail on diets. Work your tail of all week, have one less then ideal day and the week is a wash.

Marej, basically that one person had played with integrity since day 1, hasn't complained, hasn't slacked off, etc and that is why she was voting for the OTHER person.

I just deleted it (seriously) two minutes ago. A bit sooner and I could have transcribed it word for word. LOL Good timing on my part {slaps forehead}

I agree with the previous post that it seems like Amy lost alot more being at home w/her family. Her husband seems like great support, so while I didn't care for her on the show, I'm glad to see her doing so well.

And very glad B got to stay!!
