Phil kicked butt at winning the weigh-in…were it not for the gameplay by Brady, Vicky, and Heba, I really think that Phil and Amy P would be making it to the finals.

I don’t know why Vicky has such a vendetta against Phil. It seemed to start out as a way to manipulate Heba, but it turned into something more than that. Phil is such a nice guy and doesn’t deserve the negative energy…he worked extremely hard and deserves the weight loss he has. It was in extremely poor taste that Vicky calls out Phil in the weigh-in! ARGH, she really has such a bad attitude!

I really liked Stacy’s fight for the challenge; she kicked a lot of butt and I am very impressed by her determination. I wish she had won, but she did a great job and I have a lot of respect for her.

So Ed wins the challenge and is back in the game…congrats to Ed! I’m glad to see him back because without Ed there, Heba has been getting conned into Vicky’s little mind game…little does Heba seem to know that Vicky will sell her out the second whenever it is in Vicky’s best interest. I hope that with Ed back he can undo some of the damage done to Heba by Vicky and I can once again cheer Heba on.

Amy C is really my pick for winning the $250k. She has always had the best attitude and has worked the hardest without nary a complaint. The worst they can pull up for her in the whole season was an early brutal workout from Jillian where she collapsed in like the first or second week. Amy C is my heroine and I am very inspired by her. She has had her mom eliminated, she has endured switching trainers and teams, she has had to put up with the gameplay and politics, and she did so without losing any focus on her true purpose at the ranch. I’m so glad that Amy chose the elmination the way she did; Bob will be upset, Amy has gone from being on Vicky’s good side to now voting off her husband, but she is and always has been in the game for the right reasons and voted for the right reasons. I also really liked seeing Shellay again; I’ve always had a lot of respect for her and am glad Amy and Shellay had an opportunity to reconnect.

Michelle deserves to be there more than Brady; Brady cheated at a weigh-in and has been supportive of his wife’s sociopathic behavior. Vicky’s poor judgement in being so antagonistic towards Phil has caught up to her…Amy is no longer loyal to blue.

In spite of him getting sent home, I really do appreciate Brady’s effort in the game (other than the cheating); he did a great job, and I am thrilled to see 100 lbs weight loss at the time of the “after” video. Overall I like Brady, I just don’t understand why he married Vicky, but I am happy for his weight loss and happy to see him return to his family.

My favorites for the finals are Amy C, Coleen, and Michelle. I really like all of them and believe they deserve to get to the end. I want to see the “Charlies Angels” be the final three and will be thrilled if any of them win the $250k.
