Did any of you think it was funny when Mo was talking about how strange it was when Tracy went up to spin that wheel. He said the wind began to pick up and there was a strangeness in the air that the others had to have felt too. LOL, is Tracy a witch? Mo is so funny. I don't like Tracy. She bugs me the way she talks and the faces she makes and the things she says. I thought her husband was a bit strange too. My daughter was laughing at them crying because they were losing their partner. I know its a big change what they are going through but please don't show them crying so much.

One thing that hasn't been talked about: last week we mentioned that some thought Danny had water loaded to help his weight loss this week. He lost 11 pounds. Did he water load? What does everyone think?

I'm still torn on that Kar. I thought if he water loaded he would've lost more than 11 lbs this week.

I think he did, and Shay also. I mean Shay dropped 16 pounds! She never pulled a number like that. I wouldn't be surprised if she goes back to a 5-6 pound week again. Danny has been there before and even though he wasn't there that long, I'm sure he learned some things. It was just too much of a coincidence.

I think he water-loaded. And losing 11 was still good.. remember he came in much more fit than the rest of them.

I watched. Sadly, the blue team won. Tracy was as Tracy-like as ever, but we have to deal with her for another week at least. shudder. Thoug Daniel pulled a +1, the black team voted out Dina. For some reason I am oblivious to, Amanda received no votes. Dina went home. And now looks great. seriously, I would be enjoying this show so much more if Tracy wasn't there to pollute everything. I really need to not see her on my tv screen anymore.

Thank you for letting me know. As soon as Tracey leaves, I will start watching again. Maybe that is not kind of me, but she does irritate me with her whole attitude. It is all about her. Instead, I watched Mama Mia for the millionth time! lol

I think its hypocritical - Tracey is annoying, but I really believe she has had some producer help - I dont know why she picked the teams she did - but you'd think she would've wanted more men on her team if she was truly "playing" Danny or Daniel should've been on her team - why did she keep Shay and Daniel together - I highly suspect producer interference - - and why let go Dina? again, playing the game - I think Amanda should've gone before Dina - they sure didnt talk on camera the thought process... I'd enjoy the show if I knew more of what they DONT show!!

Who here feels Daniel should have gone home over Dina? I was devastated when they voted for her because she certainly wasn't getting any support from her husband or family in her weight loss. I was so happy to see how well she's done and hope she can continue. Her son and her together are adorable. NOTE to whomever does the chart. Tracy is on the Blue Team. (Hopefully, she'll be blacked out next week, so if it can be fixed, take your time. )

I think Daniel should have gone home.. he lost plenty in between seasons so this breakthrough, while I'm sure it exists, seems more of an excuse.

Aftermath of vote.. Black team sees that Tracey is still here and Mo is gone. Ominous music. They are told that Mo told them he should leave. Black team skeptical, they wanted Tracey to go. Tracey cries and says she was very close with Mo. And says she saw the look on their faces, they were surprised she was still here. Shay snarks about Tracey making it all about her. Tracy weeps and continues to make it all abot her. Black team members say they are just glad Tracey isn't on their team. In the gym, Jillian works the black team. They are working hard, Danny tells us. Bob works the Blue team. Rudy tells us they have to keep working hard. Then of course we must hear from Tracey who tells us she is "accomplished" "I am on a treadmill!" Bob tells them if you can't win a weigh in, try to win a challenge. And next we see a night scene on the beach.. big bonfire, tiki torches and mounts and poles or flags.. and, of course, Alli. She says this week starts differently, with a Challenge Each team has four keys buried in the sand. Your job is to find every one of those keys to open those boxes (oh there are boxes, treasure chesty boxes). First team to find all their keys and open their case wins the prize inside. Channeling Jeff Probst, Alli asks if they want to know what the prizes are? YES! they say. Alli then tells them they have to wait. Alli CAN tell them it will determine who stays on campus. And who goes home. Camera zooms in on Tracey. Then Daniel says he never remembers a challenge where you don't know what you are playing for. (heck, I do). Two sitting out.. Tracey and Abby. So Black team has to sit out another. Amanda jumps on that.. telling us she likes the beach but she hates sand. They get shovels. Dina wants to win. Alli says it is worth it. They all start digging, by hand or with shovels.. Each seems to have a mound of sand.. (Hard to see why Tracey has to sit out if she is on the treadmill now) 10 minutes in, Danny and Rudy the closest to the buried boxes.. They are using the shovels.. other on bellies, or backs, less effective. They say six feet deep! 20 minutes Alli tells them when one person gets key in lock, they can help team mates on theirs. Danny is first to get his case and open a lock.. He goes to help Daniel next. Allen is first for blue team. He goes to help Rudy. Rudy's case is out now.. second key for blue. Daniel's is more buried. 30 minutes. Black gets second case now, Daniel's. Danny goes to help shay and Daniel to help Dina Blue gets third case out. Stacey clenches teeth in her cheering. Blue now working on last key. Black team is frustrated. Shay says it was physically exhausting. Blue team still struggles with last case. 40 minutes. Blue team gets fourth case.. Tracey gives a strangled scream. Blue team wins.. and the prize is.. a commercial.. Inside the case they find that they get to go home.. each member has a ticket. Rudy and Allen get to see wife and kids. They wonder what is the catch? Alli says if you want them. It would mean no campus, no gym, no trainers.. but back to the weigh in. You have the choice, you can give the tickets to the black team. Daniel hopes Blue team goes home. He wants to stay. Of course it looks like they will make Black go home. Rudy wants to go home, so does Allen, but they decide to sent Black team home. Danny says it is a sweet pain.. see my wife, but no Jillian.. So..They are happy and worried. (and you know Jillian won't be happy). Daniel in NC.. parents are excited. So is Aunt Theresa. Abby in Texas. Big family, all happy to see her.. Parents.. Dina in Commerce, CA CUTE son!! Husband all dressed up. Son gives her a rose. Sweet family. Shay in Newport Beach, CA Husband and step children.. two cute boys.. Amanda in NJ -- big crowd including a very old golden retriever and her parents. Danny in Tulsa. hugs from wife, son and daughter.. he tells them it will be crazy and Amanda and Daniel and Shay telling families that they were sent home by other team hoping they will LOSE the weigh in.. Dina, all explain to families that they must work out. Shay is worried. (me too) Without Jillian to guide them, temptations surround the Black Team. For some, taking on old habits are difficult to overcome, others ok.. (Danny, Daniel and Abby seem to be working out, others chowing down) Shay shops for organic fruits and veggies.. Rudy shows his daughter his food log. Abby 'splains to her family she cannot eat that stuff they have at the barbeque. Dina runs while her son bikes. Amanda with friends says there are distractions. Daniel says tough week, and so on.. We see Shay buying Jennie-O low sodium turkey. Back at the ranch.. Bob works his blue team hard. Says take advantage. Bob wanted feeling of last chance workout. This is what you wanted and I'm only here to make you happy. At home, Danny works out at a gym.. his wife wants to work with him, but he sees that as distracting, but there they are. Abby goes swimming, still has the stress fracture. Pool and bike only. 30 min drive to gym with a pool. Daniel working out at a gym, says has to prove he can still do it. Bob is still working the blue team hard. Bob loved beating the crap out of them. We see Dina working out but says she had to take her son and he's bored. He is actually pretty impressed. Amanda in the gym.. cannot figure out the machines. She gets a call from Jillian.. Jill tells her she does know what to do, watch calories, no alcohol. Shay at gym with skinny Newport Beach folks, feels uncomfortably.. and tire. She cries, no one is pushing me, I have to learn it on my own. Taping her feet. Bob pushes circuit training. Bob has product placement with Liz and Tracey and drinks.. milk.. Daniel gets his call from Jillian as he works in the kitchen... she checks on what he is eating.. she warns about travel weight gain, get to gym.. We see Shay and family at a burger place I don' t recognize (and I live within 7 miles of her).. no idea of calories. Amanda at a restaurant not sure what to order. Abby explains she will be annoying with her orders. Dina says she cannot eat this.. and there are lots of appetizers even before she orders. Shay is disappointed that her husband orders his usual but she gets grilled fish..others ordering well too. Danny eating in, says he can control how it is prepared.. he makes kabobs with veggies and such.. His daughter calls raw green peppers great. Shay sees the kids eating giant amounts of food with ranch dressing. Shay finds it hard to trust what she got, oil? may send it back. Danny tells his daughter he must go to the gym. She wants time.. He explains that every minute he is away at the gym will give him years with them. Dina sees the giant burritos and Mexican food ordered by her family. Her husband chowed down. She nags him to stop, get a doggie bag. She was disgusted and sad. We get a recap, of course.. Shay at Subway in Newport Beach.. takes friends there.. her friend are proud of her.. Shay talks of being biggest ever and how she had to learn to change for herself. Jillian would love hearing it. Danny works on his food diary.. wife brings in photos of their honeymoon.. gives him a goal. LOL.. he was much smaller with long hair in a ponytail.. Goodbyes for the families as black team heads back to the ranch.. Jillian tells us to skip condiments on sandwiches.. use avocado, not mayo ( ed.. I did that on my most successful diet ever) Blue team goes with Bob to help at the food bank that we saw last year. Black team returns and Blues hope they are fatter. Last Chance workout Jillian working her team especially hard and Shay is happy to be there.. Bob working his team and says it will be pathetic if Blue team doesn't win this weigh in. Danny says he is loving this.. This is Tracey's first last chance workout Jillian tells Daniel she wants GREAT, not just good enough.. he is lighter and fitter and not pulling his weight in weigh ins, not seeing intensity in him. What isn't he telling her? Daniel starts crying, says he is sorry. He says his mom tried to stop him from overeating for years but he took it as her not loving him enough.. He regrets that. Jillian says your mother is alive and you love her. He says I never showed her. Jillian says show her now. Gives him a big hug. Weigh in Black Team has no idea what will happen.. Bob says this Blue Team better have pulled it together.. Team with lowest % goes for elimination. Highest % on losing team is also safe. Blue team up first. Allen says no reason we shouldn't win this. Allen drops 8 pounds from 278 to 270. 2.88%. Next is Rebecca. She wants to see the advantage reflected in her loss, but her loss is only 5 pounds and she scratches her head.. down to 232 from 237. 2.11% Tracey is worried.. loses 4 pounds 206 to 202 1.94% She sounds a bit panicked saying she wanted to lose more than that. Wants to be under 200. Bob says Blue Team was expecting big numbers like last week. Liz is confident that she will lose 8-10 pounds, but loses 4, down to 228. 1.72%. NOT happy. VERY upset. Daniel is encouraged, so far. Rudy is up. He missed seeing his family and wants it to count! He loses 14 pounds, down to 355 from 369. 3.79% Bob smirks and Tracey bugs her eyes. Blue team is stoked.. Rudy has lost 87 pounds.. 13 pounds from 100 and if he does it next week, will have lost 100 pounds faster than anyone in BL history. He feels renewed. Blue team total is 35 pounds, 2.65% In order to be safe, Black Team must lose more than 45 pounds. Daniel winces. Amanda up first, says she did the best she could; scared to let her team down. Tracey makes snarky remarks about Black Team being home and eating cake, drinking soda. Hope you did. (ick) Amanda loses 6 pounds, from 224 to 218. 6 pounds. 2.68% Jillian looks pleased. Amanda is really happy, after the challenging week at home. Now Shay up to weigh in, says please let me lose 5 or greater, she gave it 110% every single day. Shay drops from 416 to 411, down 5 pounds. 1.20% She says it is good for being at home, loving 5, not disappointed. close to 400 mark. 65 pounds in six weeks. Abby is up and says this is the most nerve wracking week. Abby loses 4 pounds and of course things aren't looking as good as last week, since they have to average over 7 pounds per person and Shay didn't have the same huge drop. Abby drops from 208 to 204 1.92% and seems happy. She is really excited. She is aware she tells us that 4 pounds isn't 7, however. Daniel looks stressed. Black team needs to lose more than 30 more pounds with Dina and the two guys left to weigh in. Shay says it is a great number for Abby but it sets up back. Dina thinks of what she did do this week and what she didn't. Hopes it is enough. She loses 5 pounds, down from 223 to 218. 2.24% Dina is happy with the loss, but still worried. Danny and Daniel now must lose more than 25 pounds Stacey thinks they (Blue) have it in the bag.. they can't pull those numbers. Danny says they girls are leaving him and Daniel.. there is no way.. he loses 15, and is amazed.. down to 357! 4.03% Jillian's mouth hangs open and she smiles. Daniel says you did that at home!! LOL. he says he looks to see if he lost an arm! Went from impossible to possible. Now it is down to Daniel, who has to lose more than 10 pounds to keep Black Team intact. Daniel says he did what he is supposed to do at home. Jillian looking for big numbers, should see one. hmm And we get a cliffhanger for a commercial break and Daniel GAINS A POUND! up to 277. +0.40%. Bob's mouth falls open. Jillian's arms are crossed. Danny's head is bowed. Daniel looks confused. Dina is surprised, shocked. Daniel says he went to the gym and ate right.. says he relearned what support he has at home. He says I didn't slack off. They sound understanding. He doesn't get it. He is embarrassed, puts a target on his back. (uh, yeah) Black team loses 34 pounds and 1.98% Blue team is safe. Danny is safe since he had the highest % loss on his team (and on both teams, by far.) Deliberation Danny says this is just terrible, all need to be here. Dina wants to know what they are thinking. Amanda says they all want to be here. Dina is so scared to go home, so hard at home. She seems to feel they will send her home. Begging for a second chance. Shay says do I deserve to be here more than anyone? No, but I have a long journey. Doesn't want to go home. Daniel knows he gained this week, afraid they will send him home. Says to us he just got into his emotions at last chance workout, does not want to go home, needs this place. this said in confessional (ed.. I would probably tell him he's had two chances, hire a shrink, but that would be cold I suppose) He talks of burying the problems deep. Dina says Daniel should go home, had two chances, this said to us. Shay says need to think it out, tells us some people help you on the journey, wants to keep people she trusts and will help her. Dina says she was thrilled to be back, out of the question, doesn't want to go home. I guess Dina is vulnerable because Tracey put her on a different team than Rudy, her old partner, but Abby is in the same situation.. perhaps she is seen as less of a threat since she is smaller and injured? Voting Alli talks first elimination of Black Team.. Four votes to go. Daniel whimpers that he has SO much respect for this person and believes that they have something inside to succeed at home, with a heavy heart he votes for the woman with a child at home, DINA Dina says this person I've learned a lot from and has had two chances, with a heavy heart.. DANIEL Abby, says people she could not write down, have become family, encouraged her. Appreciates this person and so much good in this person and hope that they have an amazing journey and hates to write this name down DINA Danny is next to vote. He believes this person can do great things in life, with utmost respect, voted for DANIEL Daniel understands. Amanda. Had to make the decision that is best for herself and keep people who will help her get farther. DINA It is up to Shay. Shay says this person says how strong other people are, wish she'd put a mirror up to herself.. Dina knows for sure now. She is beautiful, strong and has so much to give, proved it this week.. DINA. (ed. have to wish they would cut out the BS speeches, but.. there you go) Dina leaves gracefully. Dina lost 35 pounds in six weeks. Dina now weighs 188 pounds.. we see her working out with her son.. such a cutie he is.. He likes to support her. We see her husband also working with her and he looks thinner too, I think. Or it is a trainer. Dina goes for a makeover. and looks really super!! She recently completed a half marathon.

They probably kept Danny because with a 1lb gain, there's a good chance that he will lose a big number next week.

Not sure what's up exactly with Dan, but I wondered if maybe since he's been at this so much longer than the others, if hit gets harder for the body to continue to lose such big numbers as quickly? Dina looked great on the reveal. I'm really proud of her - she seemed so worried about being able to do it at home. I actually thought she looked smaller than the 180's.

Daniel had a one pound gain. Danny is a different person and he lost 15 pounds, despite also having gone home. I'm very pround of Dina, too.

I initially thought Daniel should go home, or Amanda - she really hasn't lost that much has she? I was ticked that they sent Dina home, until they showed the segments of her not being able to jump on that little platform thingy. That was really lame, so I'm okay with her being gone. Shay should be pulling big numbers like last week almost every week. At her weight, I don't think 5 pounds is good enough for her on any given week, even if it is a week at home. I don't want to see her just float to the end because everyone feels she needs to be there. Plus, she ticked me off by being so proud of her 5 pounds, while criticizing one that came after her for losing either 4 or 5. Current favorites are Rudy, Allen, Danny and Abby. Kind of like Liz too, and can't wait until she exacts her revenge on Tracy.
