I don't understand, do the trainers not know about this behavior that is going on or are they told to just stay out of it? I told DH that Amy needs to put her black shirt back on I am so proud of her, not just because I wanted the blue team knocked down a peg, but because she did what she needed to do for herself. Did Vicki just expect Amy to let the four blues go to the finals without a fight?

Wow.. so happy it went this way, though I'd have liked to have seen Vicky or Heba go home too.. and hate that Ed is back. Good for Amy!! She certainly knew she was bottom of the heap in that group.

week 8 Phillip's team talks about him wanting to be with Amy and how he was voted out. They know he'll keep working at home. Blue team sees remaining Black team and Heba asks how they are doing. They say harder than you'd think. Brady, Vicky and Heba roll eyes as black team talks about how much Phil loves his wife and how he was a great team mate. Vicky giggles, says it is a win win win win. Heba joins in. Coleen is really put off by their attitude. Vicky tells us how happy she was. "It has taken me 7 weeks to get rid of that sleazebucket". Michelle says the blue team being tacky is no surprise. Vicky and Heba joke and mock about smiling, etc., in front of the Black team. Michelle would like to see the entire blue team go home next (me too, at least three of them). Bob comes to see "my team", happy.. they smile. He says I don't need to ask, Phillip went home. Vicky says Phillip would be a horrible role model for America. Vicky plans to get rid of black team, one by one and be the final four. Bob tells us that Vicky is the biggest game-player ever in the house, methodical, maniacal and she is sitting there with her little puppets on a string. We see Jillian working black team. She says they have to focus on getting back to work. Have to stay above the line even if they are outnumbered. We see a tease about the eliminated contestants returning (looks like grey, red, green and one orange, one purple) and the scale will determine who gets to stay on the ranch. We see Bob in gym with blue team. He wants to do a challenge.. run farthest for three minutes and win a banana fudge sundae. The team isn't impressed by the prize. Amy C.. decides to win and does.. It is some diet pudding stuff Jello sugar free 60 cal and cool whip. So just a product placement. Meeting with Allison Teams are uneasy.. Very important, Allison says.. as of today you are no longer teams. Singles, each person for self. Vicky tells us that of course blue will still pick off black team one by one. Allison talks of how they have been measured in may ways and thinks they should go to the scale right now. In the gym.. only person who can keep you in this game is yourself. Everything changes. Toughest competition walking through the door. Heba says I might see Ed. Phillip walks in.. (in red) Heba isn't happy. Vicky isn't happy. Then Amy in red Shellay in purple, Ed in Orange. Heba's happy. Amy hugs her mom. Says she looks perfect. The grey team guys come in. (LT and Tom) Amd the Green Team (!!) (Adam and Stacey) Coleen.. so sorry your dad isn't here today. He had to work... Coleen had worried that he wasn't well. She'd love to see him. All will weigh in NOW. Critical info.. 1. Only one person will come back. 2. The person who will re-join will earn the right to do so at the challenge tomorrow Heba's so excited, Ed is really good at challenges. Weigh-in We do see Coleen's dad on video..
Person/Color | Starting Wt | Current Wt | Loss | Jerry/Yellow | 380 | 339 | -41 | Shellay/Purple | 216 | 177 | -39 | Tom/Grey | 314 | 266 | -48 | LT/Grey | 357 | 300 | -57 | Adam/Green | 340 | 305 | -35 | Stacey/Green | 221 | 190 | -31 | Ed/Orange | 335 | 277 | -56 | Amy P/Red | 229 | 182 | -47 | Phil/Red | 331 | 263 | -68 | Allison points out that if weight was the criterion, Phil would be coming back, but person has to win tomorrow night's challenge. Brady assures Vicky and Heba that Phil will be gone. Vicky tells us that everyone BUT Phil deserves to come back. Allison asks Brady about his reaction. He says he would love for everybody to be back. Vicky says anybody but the number one on that board would be great. Ed pokes her and says stop and she gets a really smug look on her face. Others in the returnee group seem shocked, Phil, Stacey.. Stacey says she heard what she said. Phil tells us he thought it was uncalled-for and mean-spirited. He says Brady and Vicky should keep comments to themselves.. such little people. Vicky displays a rubber smile akin to that on a troll doll. Allison says that was a major throw down to Phil. Phil says he has lost 68 pounds, he was pre-diabetic and that is what he is concentrating on. Vicky continues to smirk. Phil can't focus on that.. Brady also joining the smirk-fest. Allison says right.. it all comes down to the challenge, you'll need your strength for that. Tom tells us they will all go 100%. Amy P talks about what Vicky said.. says How am I not to be offended by that. Phil tells Amy not to go cry in her room, those guys are eating chicken. She goes to room. He goes into \strike}chicken} kitchen. He tells Vicky she is SO mean, his wife is crying. Vicky snarks back. Brady wants to defend his wife, not get violent, wags finger in Phil's face. Heba starts bellowing at Phil to stop playing the victim. Vicky shouts that she doesn't feel like dealing with it. Phil tells us about how Vicky and Brady and Heba are making things so evil and mean. Vicky "apologizes" to to the returnees (Phil has left the room). Heba says maybe talk to Amy but Vicky doesn't see why she should. Stacey doesn't know what brought it to this point. She's crying, says she was looking forward to coming back for so long and now stuck in the middle. Heba blames it all on Phil, says it is sad that it "had to happen". Stacey tells us they are all causing it. She leaves the kitchen and goes outside. (our palates are treated to a cleansing Barbie commercial.. oddly the commercials are quite the relief from the show at this point) Subway..Shellay and Amy go to lunch.. nice talk over sandwiches.. Shellay warns Amy not to be naive about what people are saying. Bob and Jillian enter the kitchen. Vicky grins and seal-claps (a la Paula) and tells Bob that they are "singles". Bob is shocked. Bob says singles is a really good thing for lots of people. Then LT comes in and gets a hug from Jillian and they hear about others who are back and go visit them. Stacy is so happy to see Bob.. Competition Night falls and we are outside with lights and towers and stations for the competition. (Look like "step" platform things for each one of the returnees. Allison says back for 24 hours; some threats. Asks Brady if that crossed his mind. He says he welcomes it. He says everyone deserves to be here and deserves a fair shot at it, but then he tells us he wants ED to win because he's "blue", he's voting with US. Vicky tells us she wants anybody but Phil. Allison says each took a big step coming on the show and now will taka an amazing step. The winner of this week's challenge will have immunity at this week's weigh-in. To win, do one simple thing. Stay one step ahead of the competition. They have to take steps up and down.. 1,000 steps to win. Tom says he cannot finish this. Stacey says I do step aerobics at home!! The seven left in game of course do not compete. Heba says she told Ed to listen to her voice and hammer out the thousand. They start.. Heba coaching Ed already. Ed off to early start. Phil behind Ed. Vicky wants to vomit because Phil is on Ed's tail. Coleen says Ed coming back is worst case scenario. ACK. Phil catapults over the step onto his knees. Vicky and Brady grin. Ed sprinting, staying ahead. Stacey starts sprinting.. Tied with Phil for second. Stacey passes Phil. Ed still in first. Shellay stopped to watch the numbers. Stacy gaining on Ed. Stacey sprints again. Ed feeling the strain. Halfway there, Ed still ahead. Stacey sprints again. Heba freaking out. Ed stumbles a bit. Heba unhappy. Allison helpfully (not) points out how hard this is and how they don't want to go home. Ed over 900, Heba encouraging. Stacey gaining. LT encouraging/coaching Stacey. Ed is drooling. Heba is yelling. Heba is Shrieking. Stacey still behind Ed.. (keep remembering seeing Stacey fall on preview) Ed wins Heba runs to Ed. Stacey falls. Michelle says her heart sank, many encouraging Stacey. Stacey feels good at the reception from others, even Ed. Ed back in game. Others to go home, still competing for $100,000. Ed also has immunity this week. Michelle says doesn't take a rocket scientist to see there are five blue shirts now. Heba tells Ed he's blue now.. he agrees. next day in gym Bob sees his four blue members acting upset. Heba tells him Phillip is back. Then Ed sneaks up and surprises him. Heba crows FIVE BLUE. Vicky is excited. She sees them back to Ed/Heba Brady/Vicky as final four. Bob is happy. Vicky says as long as two blue don't drop below the yellow line they are fine this week. In kitchen we see the happy blues, not so happy blacks and here comes last year's winner, Ali, for a visit. She brings a dietician from Prevention Magazine. Cynthia Sass.. she meets with blues, talking about beer drinking.. pushes lite beer. Talks to Vicky and Brady about kids and their eating habits. Blindfolded taste test. Meets with Michelle about sweets.. pre-portioning. Back with blues.. $5,000 worth of groceries. We also see black team hearing this. Jillian visits remaining black team.. and hears who won the challenge.. Ed. Jillian says two huge guys against you, 5 to 3. If any of you fall below the line, Bob's rule will be don't vote off a blue shirt. Jillian tells us, season four two teams against hers, season five, all the boys against her team and now two huge boys and 5-3. How the h.. does that happen? Mean part of me comes out in bad position.. beat the crap out of them. Last Chance Workout Jillian working her three girls hard. Trust me, doing no favors being nice. Renee agrees. Bob working Blues in gym. He pulls Ed out.. wants him to really work out, no matter that he's immune. == Renee gives Michelle a card. She's so happy to be back in Michelle's life. (Card is for one year anniversary of being back in each other's lives). Michelle is also happy about this. Weigh in Black team is concerned about the situation.. Brady wants to boot the blacks one at a time. Allison says the journey becomes solitary.. Says two people with lowest % will fall below yellow line (except Ed) and they will vote to see who goes home.
Person | Previous Wt | Current Wt | Loss | Total Loss | % | Ed | 277 | 273 | -4 | -62 | | Heba | 247 | 238 | -9 | -56 | 3.64 | Coleen | 177 | 170 | -7 | -48 | 3.95 | Amy | 187 | 181 | -6 | -58 | 3.21 | Michelle | 200 | 194 | -6 | 48 | 3.00 | Renee | 222 | 215 | -7 | -52 | 3.15 | Vicky | 201 | 193 | -8 | -53 | 3.98 | Brady | 270 | 264 | -6 | -77 | 2.22 |
Rank | Name | % | 1 | Vicky | 3.98 | 2 | Coleen | 3.95 | 3 | Heba | 3.64 | 4 | Amy C | 3.21 | 5 | Renee | 3.15 | = | ======== | ==== | 6 | Michelle | 3.00 | 7 | Brady | 2.22 | Michelle and Brady up for elimination. Of course it looks like Michelle's a goner... One more thing to tell you. Tonight, for the first time in BL history, we're doing things a little different. We're not going to give you any time to deliberate. You have to talk about it right now in the elimination room. Elimination Vicky says all she could think of, all week they just said if one black would fall below, blue was safe. Renee tells us that it is one year since she and Michelle re-connected and she doesn't want the book to close here. Amy C says we all said we'd vote black, but maybe I want to change my mind. Allison asks what they are thinking. Renee talks about the one year anniverary. Vicky says there is strength in numbers, five blue strong, will get us to end of game. Camera looks at Amy. Allison says sounds like someone has her strategy in order. Brady? He says he's a huge competitor but has a huge heart, if they send him packing his head will be held high. Michelle happy to have met all of them. Don't be sad. It isn't Biggest Loser and then Death, but BL and Rest of Life. Whoever receives four votes.. but if tie, lowest % goes home. Vicky tells us this is a game, strength in numbers. Renee says Vicky looks so confident. Coleen says it totally sucks, blue team's plan to pick off black team. Ed says we have five blue team members; we've got this thing in the bag. Heba votes, says this is how we're voting, as a team. I feel like everyone's on board and there should be no problem. Amy C up to vote. No comment. Vicky.. Michelle Renee.. Brady Coleen.. Brady Ed.. Michelle Heba.. Michelle Amy.. by far hardest decision, been on both teams, admire them, love them both, but.. time for me to think about myself, which I never did. Very hard to do this. Brady!! Buh Bye Brady! (I got accidentally spoiled earlier, but this is still pretty cool!!) Brady leaves gracefully. Speaks of how this is for the kids and how grateful he is for this experience. At Home We see Brady at home seeing family. They are impressed. He finally gets to see his kids. Chance says "Dad looks REALLY GOOD!" Today he's in size 34, down from a size 48. Looks great! He's been biking to the market for fruits and veggies with the kids. Down 100 pounds. Preview: If you thought tonight's elimination was shocking, wait til you see next the aftermath. Ed says "Vicky's crazy; she'll claw your eyes out.." we see "Revenge" on a list, by Vicky.. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I will not rest until that lying B... is out of this house. Then, the most dramatic weigh-in yet.

I think Bob totally has Vicky's number and it's not one he likes. However, his job is to get these people fit and healthy no matter how nasty they might be to each other. If you remember when it looked like Phil's Amy would probably go right when Heba got to reconstruct the teams, Bob took a lot of extra time with her. On tonight's show, he took time with the other Amy who would have been gone if she's been below the yellow line with another Blue. Both Amys are there for what I think most people (including Bob) will agree are the "right reasons". The same goes for Michelle, Renee and Colleen. They are so motivated to get healthy and don't seem to spend their leisure time talking ugly about others. I would go as far as to say that Jillian wouldn't be all that happy either if she knew all that was going on behind the scenes. Yes, she is determined to keep her team together and yes, she's fortunate this season not to have the people playing "games". Honestly, at this point I'm rooting for little Colleen. I don't think the girl has a prayer at this point but she's put her whole heart into this endeavor. Who knew Blue Amy had such guts?? Yep, her team is going to make her life miserable, but she absolutely did the right thing. Not just the right move strategically for herself, but she came right out and made a statement just by putting Brady's name on that card. I cheered!

I'd like to see Coleen, Amy, Renee or Michelle win now. Irony indeed that Vicky was the big ringleader but always had HER husband there and now that Ed is back and Brady is gone, Ed and Heba may just turn on Vicky.. so while they may have been a bit upset with Amy, they really owe her one for doing their dirty work.

Its funny because we dislike Vicky, but at the same time it's been an interesting season in terms of drama. Its like watching a train wreck. Like you just can't believe someone actually ACTS this way and you wonder how they can have so much animosity towards poor Phillip! I think that the trainers kind of back off from the game play and they are there to get the best from everyone. Its like your positive friend at the end of the day who only wants to push you for the best that you can do.

lol I loved reading all of your comments this morning! I am so glad Brady is gone and let's face it, he was probably the biggest threat to the girls. I fell asleep before it ended(I know I do that a lot) but I confess I had to change channels and I started watching "the Mentalist" because I couldn't handle seeing these people on my tv. Good for Amy, there is NO WAY the rest of the blues gave a rat's patootey about her. OMG I hope Vicky/Heba go below the line next week.

I told myself before the show came on that I would stop watching if Vicky, Heba, or Brady didn't go home this week. Needless to say I'll be watching the show!!!! Bye Brady!!! I'm proud that Amy did the right thing and went against her "team". I'm sure she knew that she would be the next to go. The look on Vicky's face was priceless!!

Hope I'm wrong but I think two black team members will be under the yellow line. Otherwise why would Jillian choke up? Then again it could be another head fake.

I saw that last night too Ketchup, and I thought it was more of an emotional, happy choke up than a sad one. Not sure though. I hope it was. The looks on Bob's and Heba's face were more intense as in worried and shocked.

I was happy that Bob worked Ed hard so he couldn't tank this week while he had immunity and then maybe have a dramatic loss next week a la Brady. That was the last chance for that unless they have more immunity opportunities.. because no one will want to chance being in the bottom two from now on. Heba and Vicky had fairly big losses this week, so hopefully, next week will be not so good for them. And of course I think Vicky could be vulnerable even from her allies since Ed and Heba are in it for each other, not for her.

I was thinking (hoping) that Heba and Vicky water-logged themselves last week for a big loss this week to explain their weight loss. Vicky could not leave fast enough for me! Lord I hope that Zgoodgirl's right!

It is sad that a couple of people have made the 'gameplay' is so harsh this season. You don't have to put other people down as much as Brady, Vicki and Heba have. Maybe it makes them feel better about themselves, I don't know. I liked Phil's attitude about losing weight when he was on the scale, yet the Vicki rolled her eyes at whatever he said. So childish and immature.

I thought for sure he was going to waterload. Looks like he turns on Vicky next week. Can Heba be far behind?? I so hope Vicky goes. Then Heba can go right after. I'm so glad Amy made the choice she did. She would be the first to go on her team. They were just using her for the numbers. Vicky certainly made that clear enough. Bob just can't hide how much he dislikes Vicky. Lol, when he used the word 'maniacal' to describe her, I loved it. He has her number bigtime. His adoration for Amy is soo very sweet to see. She loves him right back.

The whole "game play" is so making this show disgusting - dh and I were watching Chef Jeff project and dh was disgusted when he realized it was another "reality" show - but when I pointed out the differences between BL and Chef Jeff project - well, it made me realize, BL could be so much better!! I HATE game play water loading, who are they kidding - its in our FACE! disgusting!

I thought the first negative message Vicky gave to her kids was when she mocked others for working hard to win a phone call (that ended up being live video connection) to their families/children. What a message from Mom..

OMG I detest these people so much! I have never before seen this icky energy totally pervade this show. Vicky must GO! Then Heba. I will be heartbroken if they end up in the finals. I comfort myself that they must know by now that America hates them. I have said some very very evil things myself while watching lol!

I am extremely disappointed in the direction this show has taken. It used to be focused on losing weight, healthy living and a since of family. Now we get blatant product endorsement and "win at all cost" attitude. I thought they were going to do something about water loading (cheating) but obviously I was wrong. One way to nip this cheating in the bud is to deduct any weight gain from the previous weigh-in from the next week's loss. In other words if you gain 2 pounds this week and lose 6 pounds next week, you would only get credit for a 4 pound weight loss, whether a legitimate weight gain or not. I know it would "punish" those who have a legitimate weight gain, but it would stop the water loading. I'm totally disgusted with Vicky and hate the fact that we share the same name (even the spelling of Vicky). The only satisfaction I get is knowing that any weight she loses she will most likely gain back within the first year. I know that sounds terrible, but I can't help myself. LOL

to deduct any weight gain from the previous weigh-in from the next week's loss. That is what they are doing Bombay... Some of the weight losses reflect water-loading but they are making sure they keep it low but not into the negatives. The rule was changed last year after the water-loading got out of control. Not sure what else they could do... I am sure if they started regulating every drop of water then SOMEONE would show up for a weigh-in with wet shorts (eww, that just brought up an image of Vicky that I would just as soon forget asap ) LOLOL

I had stopped watching because of those people; I loved when it was Amy's turn to vote and then said, "But..." and H & V's heads swiveled around.
