Joelle is a sad example of the stereotypes of (us) larger women of color. She is a poor team-mate and worse friend. It’s too bad that Carla selected her as a partner. Best wishes on the weight loss. It is a battle that has to be fought alone.

Carla, you are such an awesome person! I feel bad for you to have had Joelle check out on you like that. I wish you could have stayed longer, but God moves mountains in all of our lives. Don’t give up! He will provide you the happiness you deserve no matter what. Just make sure you depend on Him for everything.

Hey Carla, I’m wishing you the best. I don’t know why Joelle was so depressed or whatever that she had to drag you down. But I’m hoping that you continue on, I think you’ve got a good chance to win the at-home prize.

I was completely impressed by Carla’s grace during the elimination. She’s all heart and I wish her well at home. I know she’ll have big surprises for all of us at finale!

Carla,

I would first like to say keep up the excellent work. Like you said, “There is no quick fix”! If at all possible could I email you to get more details about your workout and diet routine?

Carla, the episode the other night had me in tears — how could Joelle disrespect you, as well as, herself. That fact that you lost 20 pounds in 30 days on your own at home let’s me know that you are going to fine. I have struggled w/ my weight and here recently I stopped exercising and eating right, but watching you the other night has given me renewed sense of hope and determination and I am starting back on my quest to be ‘a better me’ TODAY. You go girl! and blessings to you Always!

Carla, Out of everyone you have my vote…Joelle is an absolute joke. I can see you winning. I saw how sad the other players were to be basically forced to eliminate you because of Joelle. PLEASE show everyone that you dont have to go on a show for four months to lose all that weight, you can do it at home! You have some Floridians behind you all the way!! Kim
