Didn't Sam have a very small weight loss the week before (he was under the yellow line). Perhaps he had a yo-yo from that. I also think that he feels very secure with the current combination of people...I'm sure he knew that Stephanie would be voted out over him (although I don't think he orchestrated her leaving...he left that up to Koli).

I'm sure Victoria did fudge a little the week before...after all, she had immunity. But I think I'm going to go and buy Fiber One on my way home from work today!

I love Sunshine and O'Neal but I think that combination needs to be broken up (I feel the same way about Sam and Koli). I think they have an unfair advantage.

Drea has underperformed, in my opinion. It's not that I think she's slacking...but she seems to be building a lot of muscle and not losing a whole lot of weight. Does she not do as much cardio as some of the other contestants?

Funny how I'll only miss a week of BL. Though I may just watch to see Milissa voted out...heh

It's worth it just to watch her crowing over how much smarter she is than the rest of the contestants.

What did they say about Fiber One? I must have been in the kitchen foraging?

It's only 60 calories per half cup serving, has 14 grams of fiber and tastes great. :-)

I love Fibre One!! I eat a lot of salads and I missed the crunch of croutons so one day I tried it with Fibre One -- viola!! It's delicious!

Another thing I do is have some strawberries, blueberries, and a banana, mixed up with vanilla fat free yogurt -- and, of course, Fibre One in the mix too. Yummy!!

Sam only lost 2 lbs the prior week so it made sense that he would have had a big loss this week. What I don't like about this game is that you can do everything right and sometimes your body does not cooperate. We have all seen that. One week they lose 2 lbs and the next week 10 lbs. they can do the same thing, work out just as hard but at times, the body just needs to slow down or reset. I really wish this game had them all play to the end. Maybe play for prizes during their time there. It is just very tough to have consisten big numbers no matter how hard you try. I think Sam got lucky having a 2 lb week the week before because his body certainly responded for him when he needed it to. I am also so glad that they are more concerned with keeping those there that need to be there and have the right attitude and not focusing on only gameplay right now. So glad Melissa is gone for good.

I am looking forward to Koli leaving, I think he is a trouble maker and pot stirrer.

I agree, Boberg. He is such a gameplayer, but they haven't caught on yet. I loved it when they were in the group talking at the beginning of the show and Koli said something about things would be changing up and don't be surprised by people having to do certain things. They seem to be so clueless about him and Ashley was duped by him completely.

Who won the challenge this week...Sam. I don't think Stephanie would have been near the competition Sam is.

The fact that your body needs to slow down and rest was shown in the week they went home. You KNOW they didn't work out nearly as vigorously while at home as they did on the ranch (not saying they didn't work out a lot but they probably also spent time with family and friends) - and yet everybody seemed to have a great week. I think the change in schedule was good for all of them.

I think that Daris is probably going to be in danger soon. His weight loss is slowing down as he builds muscle and he doesn't seem to have that many strong alliances.

I think we suspect that they were actually home more than a "week".

That is the problem with "weeks" on the ranch too.. sometimes a week isn't a week so it is hard to compare.

I'm still on the high from seeing Melissa leave again.. so nothing can phase me.

Win or lose, I am impressed at how quickly Sunshine was the only one to figure out a good strategy for this quarters on the tray challenge.

Nothing against Sunshine and O'Neal but doesn't the group see their support system? Same with Koli and Sam. Have we ever had a pair last this many weeks?

I am over Sunshine and O'Neal. His "I'm doing this for my daughter" act is getting old (even though I'm sure he means it, but isn't the point is that you are supposed to be doing things to heal yourself?) and her tears during the weigh-in...just too much of a pity party.

I thought it was Drea's time to go and I'm glad she got to come home in style!

Gidget, I agree. That's why I thought it was so dumb of Ashley and Andrea to keep Sam over Stephanie. There is a strong alliance of Sunshine, O'Neal, Koli, Sam and Michael. Those people will be the final 5 with all supporting/voting to keep each other. Did these gals not see that?

I wonder if O'Neal leaves the competition next week due to his brother's death and his tumble off that challenge?

I think they are keeping Sam at this point (1) because he has been so supportive of each of them and (2) since he is now putting on massive amounts of muscle (did you see his arms?) he is less of a threat to have huge weeks from now on out...although he has had some surprisingly huge weeks this late in the game the larger in muscle mass he gets the less likely he is going to be to lose weight.

Roxip, he's also a big threat in the comps and as I stated before, he has the votes to keep him in, so whomever he's up against below the yellow line might just go home.

Sam is a threat in some competitions but Drea had the weight to lose. Sam is 6'4" and he's looking pretty muscular and it is going to be harder for him to pull big numbers. But with that strong alliance, maybe the others knew Drea was leaving and wanted to stay good with the allied ones?

I finally got to watch this tonight.. Last night I was just beat and after watching American Idol and other stuff, just wasn't up to this long show and typing.. so now I'm caught up.

We look back 12 weeks as people arrived or competed to weigh in with their community.

Tonight they will learn to invest in their future, with Suze Orman and Danny a past winner.

Later they will battle elements and each other for the biggest prize ever..

We see Alli in the rain but she has a cute Burbury plaid umbrella.. and she announces that two people will drive away in new cars!

We see the "Losers" at breakfast and here comes a very cheery Alli. (for a minute with the cereal box I thought Jillian would be the first to do a promo, but no).

She has a little surprise for them at the gym.

They have to go through torrential rain and in the gym there are big circles, color coded to the person, fishbowls with coins in them, and Alli says a new week on campus. Success comes down to "change".

Challenge: Find out just how much change you can handle Each of them will balance a tray and add quarters to the tray, one at a time.. if even one falls off, you are out. Winner (who lasts longest) keeps the money. For every quarter you win, you get a ten dollar bill.. 1000 quarters equal ten thousand dollars.

Courtesy of Total Cereal.

They are stoked.

The trays are connected to their station and they can put the quarters on from their fishbowls. They seem to be at heights customized for each person. Koli wants to add fast.. anyway, off they go adding quarters..

Daris has horrible shoulders, he was shaking right away. The trays are flat, hinged on the side so they have to be held up but there is no balancing because one side is stationary. One hand only.

10 minutes.. they groan. Some keep adding, some standing.. some up to 1000 dollars. Sunshine has only 10 quarters; she wants to win.

Koli says he is hurting so now wants to not be first to drop.

Sunshine says she will be there all day.. she can always add to her 10 quarters. She plans to wait til others drop and then add to her stash.

Daris says he will bow out gracefully. Out

Sam out, Victoria out. Sunshine smiling. Koli is hurting.. questioning strategy now, very hard.

Ashley out.

Sun, O'Neal, Mike, Koli. Drea

Koli out.

Sunshine adds some quarters.

O'Neal suffering, shaking,, one quarter gone.. he is out.

Drea is cramping up. Sun and Mike still in.

Drea says getting really painful, Sun tilting, hand slippery. Mike looks good.

Drea is out.

Sun has $650, Mike $1000

Mike says he is dying, in pain. Sunshine is hurting, quivering

over 45 minutes. Sunshine is sweating. O'Neal and Victoria encourage her. She is having a horrible time but O'Neal is coaching her

Sunshine is out.

Michael won over $1000. Sunshine is weeping. She made it 55 minutes.

Mike hugs Sunshine and calls her beautiful (hmm is there another romance on the ranch.

Mike wins 2 grand and Sunshine does get $650.

Because they gave it their all.

And here is the segue to Suze Orman.. they are to go back to the house and there is Suze!!!

She wants to talk health and wealth.

She talks of how heavy the money was.. a little money can feel like a burden, debt even bigger burden. Need to take responsibility for debts they have created.

Suze looked at all finances and picked a winner.. last season she picked DANNY. He had the highest FICO score. And he won and here he IS.

BOB gives a trainer tip tells office workers to have a contest.

They are excited to meet Danny! Danny hugs Suze. Victoria is really happy.

Suze says she picked the winner last year.. Danny says he was $45,000 in credit card debt and did the same with his weight; didn't deal with it.

Suze went through all their finances, wants them to take responsibility and if they do they will win.

Debts in collection, you can settle .

Michael has more debt than he can count. He's upset. Suze says can't be as much burden as his weight. He thinks he can handle his weight now.

Suze asks Sunshine if she keeps track of calories, yes and so does Mike.

Koli doesn't. He admits that. Danny tells him if he wants to win, DO IT.

Danny is very encouraging. Koli wants to be a finalist, says he will follow Danny.

Suze will pick a winner.. says she thought he was going to win, until today.. but he isn't calorie counting.

The winner is going to be SUNSHINE!

(humph.. I picked Koli early.. that dude better count those calories.. but I like Sunshine a bunch too)

They go to the gym with Danny to work out. Bob and Jillian are happy to see Danny.

So, they work out. Daris likes this.. wants to work out with Danny.

Danny says he'd forgotten what a machine Bob is working them.

Bob pep talks Daris.

Then works Koli and Sunshine.. says they are most competitive in the house, they can encourage each other, working together..

LOL, Bob asks what Koli is concentrating on and he says "confetti". Sunshine quips: "I didn't know they did that for the At Home Winner".

Bob loves this.

Danny on stair steppers, talks to Drea and Daris. Drea says she realized she deserved to be the winner. Danny says he got to where he wanted to do it for himself.

Jillian had Danny and others walking backwards on treadmills.. then doing forward sprints.

They are all inspired.

Victoria is having trouble with the treadmill and Jillian is yelling for her not to hold the sides and open her eyes. She tells us Victoria is so far behind psychologically having been home for so long.

Mike, Bob and Jillian encourage her, Jillian trying to get through to her. She's failing in her head, not her lungs. Victoria thinks she can't go anymore. She starts running again.

Jillian says the others have all had their breakthroughs and this is week 13. Won't happen all at once. Victoria hopes she CAN figure out why she was so heavy, but not today.

Outside, the contestants will get revenge on Bob and Jillian for all the workouts.. in the mud..

It is raining like CRAZY outside (believe me this has to have been in the timeframe of our rains the week of January 18.. and they were really bad)

Victoria talks to Koli about her weight gain and why and she doesn't know why.. she is open to figuring it out, but it just hasn't manifested itself. Koli says he didn't know himself and Victoria needs to get the emotional and mental part that Jillian talks about, and without that part she won't keep the weight off. He gives her a pep talk. Do it for me.. she is getting it.

Now we see the rains and outside they meet with Alli with her adorable rain gear.. her burbury plaid umbrella, red coat, black hat and gloves..

Wind, rain, mud..

Alli says they are in for the ride of a lifetime.

|b{Two people will ride away in a brand new car} They all squeal.. 2010 Mazda 3.

On the hill, seven balloons.. one for each color left in the game.. each has 10 keys.. 140 keys.. find the key that works, keep the car.

YAY

They RUN for the hill!

Koli says 150 yards to the first balloon.

They pull down the keys..

Drea tries her first key and OMG.. we have a commercial, a bunch of them.. Sam also is back.

Drea.. nope. Sam, no, Daris, Koli, Ashley, Sunshine

Mike, Vicky, O'Neal and on and on..

They get a key, try it in both cars and then out again.

Wind getting harder, making it harder to pull down the balloon.

30 down 110 to go

90 left.. Sunshine thinks she has the key, but no

O'Neal wants to get a key for Sunshine.

Drea starts the silver blue car screams

Red car still awaiting new owner.

50 left, 40 35 30 25

OMG.. I was sitting here saying O'Neal, go O'Neal and he starts the red car.. Sunshine comes running as O'Neal says this is your car!!

He's so happy! Me too.

Time passes.. Jillian and Bob plot who to concentrate on for workout. They come into the gym.. Jillian will start over with Victoria.

Jillian urges that they must have their BodyBuggs on.

Victoria will run sprints with each other person. Pure torture she says. THIRTY sprints, really?

(Vicky needs a more supportive bra!)

Bob talks to Drea about how she knows she deserves it now. She never thought she could have a relationship, etc. Didn't touch people, want to be touched, hated being fat. Bob asking why she had to come here to know this. She knows she is loveable now. Bob hugs her. Tells her to fight, no more skating through life.

We see Matt and Suzy plug Food Lifeline and pound for pound.

Promo.. emotional weigh in for yellow team.. O'Neal may push Sunshine below yellow line :-(

Back to working out.. Victoria is doing all the sprints but ready to quit after 4. Bob and Jillian both working with her now.

She is down to one more person to sprint with.. they give her props.. Jillian wants her head up.. says go put on boxing gloves.

Bob taking others outside. Jillian inside says Victoria was feeling like a victim instead of celebrating today's successful sprints.. acting like it is a punishment, being a victim, what do you want. Jillian says she wants nothing from Victoria, Victoria has to want it herself.

Vicky feels unworthy in general. Not a good daughter, not beautiful.

Jillian tells her she is a beautiful as anyone in the room and her potential is limitless. They hug.

Bob works them in the mud and now they all dump each other and laugh and drag Bob through the mud. He tells Jillian she is next. She runs inside and out the other door.. all after Jillian and they carry her off to the mud. Splash.. lots of cackles.

She pledges revenge in Last Chance Workout.

Bob says one will go home and five of them not in the final four.

Jillian says today it is personal.

Lots of talk etc.

Michael runs a mile.. first time.. Bob says another.. Michael gets to 5 K (3.1 miles) and Bob says go for 5 miles and he does.

Weigh In

All look determined.

Alli says if you survive tonight 1 in 8 chance of BL.

Sunshine is up first.

She weighed 195 and now is 192, down 3. She grimaces. 1.54%

Bob and Jill look concerned. Bob says that number should be 6, not 3, you've been working really hard. O'Neal worried. Sunshine crying.

Next up is Koli. Koli says he was meticulous with his calorie count.. got that from Suze. He was 276, now he weighs 270, down 6 pounds, 2.17%

He'll be happy if he stays.

Daris is up now.. he says he stressed out last week; just above the line. Wants to be here to the end. He was 233 and now weighs 226, down 7 pounds, 3.00%

Sunshine is scared, looking sad with each weigh in.

Daris is happy. And he is definitely safe. Sunshine looks freaked out.

Michael is up.. he has his hair greased back into a little knot in back.. (Bob did talk about his big ol afro earlier). He is excited to see what he weighs now.

He was 372 last week and needs more than 8 to be safe now. He weighs 363, down 9 and he's safe. 2.42%

Bob looks relieved and Michael says he notices the change in him.. Talks about Bob pushing him to run 5 miles, did it every day since.. getting back life. Jilllian grinning, Bob too.

Five left to weigh in.. Sunshine and Koli waiting to see.

Ashley worries .. she knows Sunshine worked out harder this week.

She was 264, must lose more than 5 to be safe. She winces.. weighs 258, down 6 and safe. 2.27%

She's happy and relieved. She says she wanted 10 and is disappointed (uh but she knows she didn't work as hard?

Sunshine is crying and quivering.

Vicky is up now. She was 272, needs to lose more than 5 pounds to be safe now. She weighs 267, down five pounds and not safe for now. 1.84%. Koli is safe now, but Sunshine is even closer to the line. She is worried.. she is worried, has few relationships there.

Alli comments on the look on Sunny's face. O'Neal tells her to be confident. but he looks worried.

Alli looks sad, but says O'Neal is up now. He wants a lower number than Sunshine's to keep her safe. He needs to lose more than 5 pounds to be safe now. He was 283 and now is 278, down 5 pounds and not safe. With 1.77% he's also ahead of Sunshine. Vicky is now safe.

O'Neal looks sick..he wasn't happy pushing Sunshine down.. wants train to him and not her.. Concerned for both of them.

Two more to weigh in now..

Drea is up now.. she says she worked as hard as them, worries about low number. She was 225.. needs only 4 or more pounds to be safe.. and now weighs 222, down 3 and not safe at 1.33%. O'Neal is safe, Sunny on the bubble and Drea below the yellow line and internally practicing her "I deserve to stay" speech again. She is gobsmacked.. says she worked way harder than 3 pounds this week.. she is pissed at the scale.. worked her ass off this week. Bob nods yes, Jillian shakes no. But below the yellow line she is.

Sam is up now..

He must lose more than 3 pounds to be safe. Sunshine says that is nothing to a guy like him.. I'm going home. O'Neal is sure Sam will be ok.

He weighed 252, now weighs 252! He lost NADA, nothing, zip, zilch! He did look worried ahead of time, oddly enough. 0.00% loss and he's below the yellow line with Drea..

Looking like the breakup of a pair, especially with Sunny, O'Neal and Vicky as a triad.. but that is mere speculation of course. Sam's arms look very muscles.. perhaps he's just lost most of what he needs to lose? After all he is 6'4". Will the others want to split him up from Koli, or think he has less potential for losing than does Drea? Will Drea convince them she MUST stay once again?

Sam is crestfallen. bob and Jill, too. He says he is more than that zero, happy with himself, proud of his progress.

He says America will say I haven't worked hard this week, hell NO!

Sunshine is finally smiling and safe.

Drea shakes her head no.

O'Neal hugs his daughter.

Jill hugs Drea, O'Neal hugs Bob. Bob hugs Drea.

Deliberation

Drea and Sam walk off with arms around each other.

Mike says the decision sucks. One deserves to be here because of his effort and one needs to be here.

Drea says she picked it up this week. Don't wanna Go. Not done, big week, blah blah blah.. figuring it out. Nothing bad or negative about Sam.

Sam says here I am again having to tell you guys why I want to be here. I have to prove myself here. My work ethic is strong. I want to be here, journey not done. I want to be here. Nothing bad to say about Drea, refuse to go that route.

They leave and the others...

Voting

Alli points out that at 13 weeks they are all close, ending dream for one.

Sunshine: Hard to see, especially these two. Really get along with one, other sees the game the way I do. What will help me.. Drea

Ashley: Difficult .. one pushes me physically, one mentally. I have to be both things on my own. I prayed about it and Sam

She says to him he looks good, is strong. Thinks Drea needs to stay.

Victoria is crying Drea

Koli. No drama with my vote. I love you Drea Drea

Michael.. came down to being selfish, putting me first got me this far. Sam and Koli like idols, motivate me, Drea needs to be here more, but at the end all go home Drea (he sees that Sam doesn't have much to lose and she does)

She is crying says came here a young adult and leaves a woman.

We don't see O'Neal's vote but surely it would have been the same as Sun's.

Drea hugs them and off she goes.

We see her return home to Michigan, all snowy and wintry.. her dad can't wait to see her and hug her. She was driving a black car, her new one?

Her family cheers for her.. they can see she has lost 76 pounds. Darrell is pleased and so is her mom. She says big emotional changes the last weeks.

She will finish this race. Tells them she won the car and shows them the keys. She got a dark color.

How cool that she got the car to drive to her home.

We see her running with her dog.. a cute white Pit with a black eye!

She gets a video from Bob with footage from her first day. Message to herself.

We see her and Darrell much bigger.

We see her running with a trainer and working out in the gym..Darrell too.

Andrea is now a spin instructor!! Dad in the class.

She plans to be a certified trainer working with kids.

Next week: temptation: room of food.. person who eats most gets only vote.

We see Michael say "oh no".

And then O'Neal says he got a call that his brother passed and shows him getting frustrated in the gym.

When the women have low weight loss weeks, I always wonder if they have their periods. My Dr. said it is normal to gain a few just for that week or so. It is true for me.

Re: O'Neal and Sunshine...I would probably be just like O'Neal "doing it for my daughter" and all the tears they both have at times seem totally real and honest emotions to me. As a parent, I think we always want better for our kids than for ourselves. If it comes down to me or my kids, I'd rather have the kids benefit. I'm sure O'Neal is doing this for himself too. I didn't see Sunshine's tears as having a pity party for herself at the weigh in ... just genuine disappointment and fear she would have to go home.

I really like Sam and Drea. I'm so sorry one of them had to go. I really like their energies. I'm so happy for Drea that she is a spin instructor and loves it!

I really like all of the remaining competitors at this point...but I just thought Sunshine's tears were a bit excessive. All of them want to stay...I guess I'm not a big crier so maybe that's just me. And I agree...I would want this more for my child than for me, but O'Neal just does it a bit too much for me. If I was Sunshine I would be wanting my dad to stay more than myself...he is dangerously big and has what looks like multiple physical issues (and probaby health issues too). She is a young woman in her prime and with the tools she has been given should be able to continue losing weight. But I think if it came down to a vote she would let O'Neal sacrifice himself for her.

Oh no doubt O'Neal would beg to be sent home in place of Sunshine, but I agree, he needs to stay far more than she does. Unless the rest view her more as a threat, they would send him home.
