Allen is the only one left that I like. I don't mind Amanda and Danny, but cannot stand Liz and Rudy.

That's right - I do remember somewhere some press saying Daniel would bring his girlfriend to the finals!! I missed it was Rebeca - maybe that was supposed to be a shocker? or maybe they've moved on ????????

I never knew how to feel toward Rebecca. She seems like one of those people who thinks it's okay to do unto others, but they'd better not do unto her. She had it all planned last week how they would pick off the 'old' people and then she was outraged that those same old people voted her off. I felt she exploited the disagreement with Rudy, just to have a reason to cry and be angry.

I cannot believe she is dating Daniel. I just don't see a match there. Did she say she was 25? How old is Daniel?

I like Allen and Danny as well and would be happy with one of them winning.

Daniel is 20. And he looks young. I thought Rebecca was older than he but real love doesn't pay attention to age (and in 10 years that difference isn't much - if they last that long). Weight loss journey brought them together but will it be enough to keep them together? There have been two love connections from BL so maybe.

Funny, watching his interview on Leno (and the "behind the scenes" webstuff on Hulu.com) he never mentioned dating anyone. Did talk about doing a half-marathon where it was raining, he started 20 min behind (nervous stomach) and got lost on the course (2 extra miles) so he finished well over 3 1/2 hrs.

I recalled Rebecca talking/showing her own half-marathon but I don't recall if it was raining, I do remember her finish time was well under 3 hours.

Makeovers, speeches, families

Competitions

Canyon with lines and pulleys 700 feet (seems like a challenge from the past that favored upper body strength). Prize is trip to BL resort for whole famile.. Fitness Ridge.. two weeks. (giant product placement)

They are strapped onto plexiglass seats.. Liz is freaked out and the seats sure don't look at all comfortable or supportive.

Off they go.. Rudy early lead, Allen and Rebecca, Liz and Amanda having trouble. Liz has eyes shut.

Rudy still in lead with Amanda catching up.

GO Rudy! But he has more weight to pull..and the ropes go up at the end.

Yeah! Rudy wins. One by one they finish, Liz in last but finishing. All others encouraging her.

Time to kick off old selves.. they had been pulling toward gigantic bigger than life images of before and now they unroll after images.

(Rebecca is starting to look more like Pink Champ Ali.)

Bob and Jillian meet with them and point out two challenges in a row for Rudy. Jill points out time to work out for weigh ins after all the makeover time.

Last Chance Workout

Bob is confused about Allen, why hasn't he been winning. Allen admits he has been playing the game.. hears people say Allen is the one to beat.

Jill says all day long, a week of training fit into one day. Lots of grunting, groaning, sweating, jumping, grunting..

Jillian is stunned that Rudy revealed in his speech about his sister dying of cancer when he was 14 .. why didn't he ever mention it. She is goading him into working out harder, asking about the story while he works out. Jillian talks more with Rudy about his unresolved hurt, working for a breakthrough with him.

Weigh in..

No one is immune. Try to stay over that yellow line. Two lowest % will be vulnerable.

Danny is first. Goal to be one of final four.

Has lost double digits 5 weeks in a row.. He's done it again; lost 12 pounds, down to 304 from 316. 3.8% he will TAKE that and pledges to be below 300 pounds next week. He had lost 126 pounds, a whole Jillian Michaels.

Next up is Rudy. His goal is to be a finalist. From 324, he loses 16 pounds, down to 308. VERY happy. 4.94% and into first. (Not immune and not holding back).. he hopes to smoke by the 300 makr next week. Sets another record, more weight in 10 weeks on campus than any other in BL history.

Allen is up now. He has concern not having as much time in the gym as he wanted. From 243, he must lost more than 12 pounds to be safe from elimination. He's nervous. Rudy and Danny threw up big numbers. Wondering if we had foreshadowing when he admitted to Bob he had been playing the game with his numbers. And no one pound advantage this week. And, indeed, his loss is only 5 pounds, down to 238. 2.06% He grins sheepishly. Bob is glaring at him. Jillian says 5 is a great number after losing 10. Allen says it is still a competition. Jill says you are solid as a rock at 238. He doesn't want to lose and wants to stay. Bob tells us they need to keep Allen in a good head space (so.. guess Bob was worrying about Allen losing too much?)

Rudy is now safe from elimination.

Now, time to weigh in the women. Rebecca is first. She has that goal of 200, 9 pounds away. 209 previously, Must lose more than 7 pounds to be safe. She is own 3 pounds, 206. All look shocked. 1.44%. She is really upset, impossible. Bob shakes his head. Broke his heart.

Danny is safe now.

TWo more to weigh in so no one below that line, yet.

Liz is now up, says she consistently watched Rebecca worked out, girl is a machine. Liz is worried. She was 206 and needs to love more than 4 pounds to guarantee safety. She is not safe.. down to 203, and down 3 pounds. 1.46%.

Rebecca is now under the yellow line. Allen is safe.

Lots of head shaking and ominous music. Amanda is last to weigh in. No idea what she will do. Had to lose more than 2 pounds to be safe and get out of the 200s. Whoa.. she loses 9 pounds, down to 193. She's safe: Liz is not.. wonder if this will cause a tie between old and young voters? 4.46% puts her into second place. She's celebrating. Feels good. Bob's mouth hangs open.

Liz and Rebecca are up for elimination now. There are hugs and tears as Bob and Jillian leave.

Deliberation

Liz says she isn't good at fighting for herself. Tells they they have to decide who will push them. Rebecca wants to talk to Rudy and Allen alone. Allen tells Liz she needs to show some fight if she wants to stay. Danny tells her she needs to show some passion. Show Rudy and Allen! Liz looks hang dog.

Rebecca tells them she has never had the chances Liz has had, never been below the yellow line, she cries and begs to stay. Allen says both are determined and good competitiors. Rebecca says I'd like my second chance, please, she got her second and third chance.

The guys leave. Danny tells Liz to go find them and plead her case. Liz heads upstairs and joins the two guys. Says I'm here to fight. Allen wants to knkow how bad Liz wants to stay. She says she deserves to be here. Rudy says why? Liz says she is 49 years old and she's 25, has a lot of years left to get her act together, I need to stay to finish this journey.

Rebecca wants to be the next BL, not becaus she is pink or female but because she is Rebecca.

Voting

Rebecca says going into elimination blind. Liz says cannot be complacent.

Four people voting. In event of a tie, the person with the smallest % of loss goes home; that would be Rebecca.

Amanda: Rebecca has been her best friend and without her Amanda would have gone home last week. Votes for Liz.

Danny. Cannot write down Liz. Votes for Rebecca.

Alli reminds Rebecca that one more vote sends her home.

Rudy says when they were black vs blue one person played both sides of the fence and he lost respect for and trust in that person. He votes for Rebecca.

Rebecca is eliminated

Rudy says Rebecca always sat in on black team discussions. Rebecca snarks back at him, this sucks, not going home, but fighting with YOU. If you had a trust issue with me, should have discussed it with me five weeks ago. He says you should have been honest with me five weeks ago. She yells that she hasn't been dishonest. They yell about playing the game. She is hurt, he is one of her closest friends here. He's sorry.

Not going gracefully, it seems. Alli reminds her she isn't the Biggest Loser.

She tells Amanda to push to finals, beat the big boys.

We see Amanda going home, hugging mom and crying. Mom Shirley says not much to hold. She greets a crows outside. Going through her old cloting, all too big. She's wearing a cute purple dress.

She says it took her 16 minutes to finish a mile the first day. She is running a half marathon, 13.5 miles. She is 107 pounds down and looking GOOD.. growing her hair out some. Seems to be doing really well.. talks about being the girl she wanted to be. Thanks the Biggest Loser.

She plans to open a gym for overweight children.

I'm happy for Rebecca's outcome, but I never warmed up to her on the show and it would be strange to have a third dark haired female pink team winner anyway.

Hmm Amanda would be a better match age wise for Daniel but of course those things are hard to predict.

So now there are two couples that have hooked up so far this season? Didn't Antoine and Alexandra get together also?

I can foresee in the future a Biggest Loser Singles edition. The title: Single and Ready to Mingle. Kinda like a light reality dating show with the weight loss program as the focus.

The contestants would be chosen due to compatability, and challenges would include components of bonding and getting to know you exercises. Prizes would be things like a date night, etc.

Does this seem possible, or you think that it would lessen the impact of the journey these people are on, since they wouldn't necessarily be focusing on themselves but also have love in the air. But to that, I might say that Rebecca, Daniel, Antoine and Alexandra seem to have done well for themselves...

I would not think that would be a good idea, no one needs double pressure like that.. and it would sort of be saying.. shed the pounds and then you will be worthy of dating :-(

You're right, sea, that would be a wrong message. I didn't intend that, just a crazy thought I had to mix and match reality show genres.

Tc99, I think an all singles (various ages and circumstances - ie, young & never married, divorced, widowed, or just always fat and single for whatever reason) would be a fun season for us viewers. Don't really change anything about the concept of the show and if more than just weight loss happens so be it. After all, this is a life changing environment!

If Amanda goes below the yellow line it will be her,because they have been saying they want to get rid of the young uns.. but I would love to see Rudy go as I really don't like his attitude at all.

Amanda will probably go if she is below the yellow line which doesn't bother me. I just never really grew to like her that much. Liz might go if she is up against Allen or Rudy, it would depend on who lost the most % since it would prolly be a tie.

Just as long as Danny doesn't go, I will be happy.
