Well, at this stage in the game they all start to get that "haunted" look - so, yeah, I guess Danny has that. He weighs less than me now! Yikes. Time to get a move on.

Tara did gain back some weight, but I read somewhere that she is happier at this weight and where she was at the finale was too low. I still think she looks great!

They all did great at the marathon - pretty amazing. Amanda had to really try hard to hold it together at the 3/4 mark.

They all look a bit gaunt, but, 1. we're not used to seeing them this way, 2. it takes a while, for some, for the skin to bounce back...

I thought Danny was extremely handsome! Rudy, I have some fears that he won't be able to do as well at home, he'll do ok though, but just ok...

I now think that Danny will win : yes: ... what do you all think?

I'm totally rooting for Danny or Rudy. Danny is a good looking guy! As for Tara, she looked normal and I'm glad to see that Helen didn't look so skeleton like, that was her at the finish line right?

I think Danny looks great! Like a new person. It confused me at first - because it looked like he still had a big belly, but his face and arms are so lean. But I think his belly is mainly loose skin.

I hope he wins. He's lost an astounding amount of weight, he seems like a really nice guy, and I think he "gets" it. My money is also on him keeping it off

I can relate a lot to Amanda, and I really like Danny. I'd be fine if either of them won. Rudy lost me a few weeks ago, and I've never really liked Liz a ton...

I'm routing for Danny and I hope Liz gets voted off. Can't stand her.

I was watching last night episode with my hubby and when he saw how much Danny lost in two months he turned to me and was like, "isn't it unhealthy to lose that much weight that fast?" and I was like yeah I think

but I think Danny looks AMAZING! So handsome. and I hope Amanda makes it to the finals. I really can relate to her! Nut she looks SO tiny and beautiful!

Ok here is my take I really would like to see Amanda win but yes I am tired of hearing that America picked her.....she was picked over another girl not millions of people...get over it!

Next, I am sick of hearing about how Danny wants to be like he was at 17. Who doesnt? I just hope he doesnt fall into that category of older man losing weight trying to be young again. I hope he will just be a happier, thinner husband and father and doesnt try to be a 17 year old rockstar!

I know lots here dont like Liz but I think she is just a regular country woman who speaks her mind. I love that about her. She is so honest and doesnt hold back. I think this show has really changed her life.

Seeing Rudy with his family and how he ran the whole marathon really changes my mind on him...if Amanda doesnt win I hope he does

I'll be surprised if Danny doesn't win. And I'm with the rest of you that if I hear "America's Choice" one more freaking time, i will scream! So annoying. And Liz with her "I'm the oldest person in the top 4 blah blah blah" I don't hate Liz, but I don't love her either.

I can't wait to see everyone at the finally.

I hope Liz gets voted off. I would like to see either Danny or Rudy win. I like Amanda but she can be annoying too. Thought they all did a great job on the marathon. I have a brother who is well into the 400's (probably closer to 500) so I just can't imagine in 4 months time him being able to do that. The prospect of it all is just astounding.

I thought they all looked great. Tara did look a bit chubbier but that could have been her clothes. Her face still looks thin.Danny will prob need a tummy tuck to get rid of all the excess skin. Once you hit a certain age that skin isn't going back. kwim?

Can't wait for the finale next week.

I dont think either one of the women have a chance to win at this point, and I am hoping for either Rudy or Danny...maybe moreso Rudy because it seems like he could work a lil less, stress a lil less if he did? I dunno!

I totally related to Liz last night. Her confessionals really touched home for me. I've always like her.

Sick to death of Amanda...good **** with this girl.

Really great show last night I thought. The marathon was so motivating AGAIN! When I saw Ron do it last year I knew I could do it too, and I will be doing it on July 11th!
