The couple that went home was Neill and Amanda. It wasn't a shocker by any means. Neill just wasn't putting his heart into it and it was shown by his small number of loss compared to most of the other guys. He was still in denial about it when they booted him, and weeks later when they visited him at home. Amanda looked amazing. Her weight loss was really noticeable. Neill's not so much with only 48 overall, while Amanda was at around the same... I just wish Neill would have realised that he wasn't trying his hardest. Him and Amanda probably would have stayed and Maggie and Jenn would have went had he just realised that, or even made a concession to the other teams (It could have been a complete lie, but if they had bought it, they might have stayed.)

His speech at the table said it all -- he said he had NOT asked to stay because his wife was better with the "people" end of things and, "she could turn on the tears, too." I got the distinct feeling the other teams REALLY liked Amanda and REALLY disliked Neil. (didn't we all?)

What Teach said.. I think that clinched it.. his attitude. And of course the purple team really has the hardest work, being both female and I think perhaps the smallest team going in. And they were both working hard. I have to say I am not liking the way the show is being run this time. They are opening pushing the teams to be more political, to play the game more and giving out double votes and not sure what the twist will bring.. if they vote on who they want out next but then that just hangs there.. will cause even more animosity. The Orange team just rubs me the wrong way, or I guess the woman more than the son. I was quite pleased that they didn't win for a third week in a row. Of course they still had the two votes, but that wasn't a factor since it seemed that most everyone was going to vote out the white team anyway. Loving the pink team.. Anyway, they have clearly been borrowing survivor like competitions.. instead of REAL tests of their own progress or determination, this "pig pile on your biggest threat" type of game is pure game. Too bad. It is almost like the weight loss occurs despite the game playing. I don't think Bob and Jillian are huge fans of the game part.. well Bob, at least.

Oh and the yellow team, who was below the line last week and allowed to stay... they were the biggest losers this week!

just flipping forward in posts to say that I've seen marilyn's weight and measurements from that time period. she was approx 140lbs during 'Some like it hot' I have a feeling that the writer of that article maybe is confused between Children's size 10-12 and a adult size 10-12 I say that as I wore children's size ten when I was thin. Some Adult size 10-12 hung on me in those days Pants sizes were different than tops. I wore a size 7 pant with a hip measurement of 34'. OH I just did a search out of interest. not sure how accurate it is but here goes....Measurements( studio's claim): 37-23-36 (inches) 93.9 - 58.4 - 91.4 (centimeters) Measurements (dressmaker's claim): 35-22-35 (inches) 88.9 - 55.8 - 88.9 (centimeters) Hair: Natural Brown, dyed Blonde Eyes: Blue Height: 5 feet, 5½ inches 166.62 (centimeters) Weight: 118 pounds 53.5 kilograms Dress size: 12 Pant Size: 8

REALLY disliked Neil. (didn't we all?) I posted a while back that I disliked how they were picking on him. I watched closely and you will see many of the others holding onto the sides of the various exercise machines...WHY keep harping at Neill? For petes sake, he had higher weightloss then some of the other guys. We saw him really take some bad falls on that Treadmill. I didnt like the bullying. I noticed Neill had one of those faces which Barely change expression and his voice had that nonconcerned 'who cares' tone to it. Yes, I thought they were Gone...as soon as he made that flippant comment about how his wife could 'turn on the tears' he looked relieved. wonder who is going to be targetted picked on next? a pack mentality seems to be emerging since there are solid teams PRIOR to being thrown together. it is much more serious Gameplay this season I feel

Orange definitely has targetted Black and they are likely goners if they ever drop to bottom two without immunity. And the previews made it sound like "six teams against one" but not sure who the one was. I'm guessing it is whoever they say they would vote out right now if they could. I hate that idea because it just solidifies alliances rather than really watching for teams to possibly redeem themselves over a week.. look at the yellow team.. they stayed and they made the most of that week. Of course now they may be seen as a threat.

I thought the twist at the end was going to be that they would start voting out individuals and not teams. Doesn't seem like it from the wording but they must be going to that fairly soon. They are going to run out of people otherwise. LOL If they send the final 3 TEAMS home then we are looking at 3 shows left then the finale. I think the increased game play is inevitable with a team format. In the past the contestants have been strangers and had only the weight-loss process in common. This time they have a built-in trusted team-mate to discuss all the other aspects of their stay. Although with any reality show it's hard to tell if the game play is that much more intense or if it is just the editing. I don't feel that sorry for Neill. He is losing weight but you know that is because of Amanda pushing him. She is a tiny little female beside his much taller male and she still lost more weight. To me that shows clearly that she is still doing twice the work. At the end of the day though.... what matters is that the weight is still going down so kudos to both of them.

I wasn't watching as closely as you were I'm sure, but whenever I saw other teams touching the bars, it was during their 30 seconds of "rest" period, since they were doing 2 on, 30 off.

Amanda said that "When they came back in April" so they have at least another 2 1/2 months to go, so I'm assuming they will be separating teams within the next 2 weeks or so.

I am with you Sea, the orange mom has rubbed me the wrong way as well. She is a bit over the top in your face.

Sun, I also noticed that other people were holding on to the machines as well. I think it bothered the others that they couldn't bully Neill into being what they wanted. It was obvious he didn't want to be there, but I have to give him credit for the weight he's lost. I wouldn't do well with the trainers screaming at me all the time.

I hope they wear those shirts at the finale and everybody tells them they're lazy. Neill didn't impress me in the update.

I noticed Neill had one of those faces which Barely change expression and his voice had that nonconcerned 'who cares' tone to it. I noticed this,too. It kind of bugged me too, I mean the man cannot help how he is but I think the other teams probably would have liked to see some sort of fire in his eyes. I felt bad for Amanda-she did look great though at the end! I was happy for the blue team-go B&B!!! What did everyone think of how the teams reacted to the black team after the comp?

I want the black team gone! I don't know if I like this season yet I feel like it's all about game and not about actually loosing weight.

At this point: Everyone's favorite? Least favorite? I like the gray team, the ex football players the very best I dislike the mom on the orange team and the purple team at this point, yellow team would be close to that group too

I am with Dovez. Maybe it's starting off as strangers but I am rooting for the blue team as well.

I like the pinkies! I kinda like the orange team, but I'm liking them less as time goes on. I didn't like the black team, but I thought everyone was off the wall when they went after them. What do you care about a fight between the two of them? It's between the two of them! Yeesh. I'm still liking the yellow team least, but they are getting better.

Pinks, Blues and Purples (and I liked the Brown team) And since Orange and friends targetted them, I want to see the blacks stay longer out of spite, but not to win.
