Ha, yeah. I don't really dig all the commercials put inside the show, but someone has to pay for it I suppose.

Ugh, this episode is SO nauseating........ I will have to alternate the 2nd hour with watching the Real Housewives of Atlanta slapdown tonite! lol

It's so bad I'm hoping Amy goes home tonite so that she can think long and hard about how stupid she was last week. She totally wasted that extra point that Michelle gave to Icky. UGH UGH UGH

And Heba means gift in Arabic.

I thought she was probably of middle eastern descent until I saw her mom on the video who sounds like a southern belle from NC. Maybe her dad is arabic, but I wanted to look up the name. It's pretty in meaning but doesn't translate well - I think I would have picked Joy instead.

@ sportmom!! I watched it tonight for the first time in weeks. I quite enjoyed it I watched the first hour and then got on my bike and finished the second hour...

I found great big changes in everyone except Heba, probably because she's not under the 200 mark yet. I didn't find it nauseating at all, just the usual crying when soneone leaves. Last season's brothers, I can't remember their names, now, they, were nauseating :lo:

LOL Ilene, no nauseating not bc of sappiness but bc what happened when you missed it the last 3 weeks. Nauseating bc Vicky should not even be there any more and Amy blew her chance to make that happen. In the end tonite, the girl who shouldn't be there anymore, cast the final vote for Amy and sent her home. THAT was nauseating to have to watch. Blech. 3 of the 5 remaining are people that most viewers wanted to go home and really felt passionate dislike for.

I was just glad to see 2 blue people below the yellow line.

I hope Michelle's huge weight loss doesn't put her at a disadvantage next week. 10lbs in one week at this stage of the show awesome.

And what about Vicky just sitting there as Amy was leaving. She totally ignored Amy, just a nasty person.

Why, why, why, why, why didn't they send Vicky home last week? SO annoying! Gah! That was a stupid move, Amy....just IMO....and now you are gone to think long and hard about it.

Ugh.

I'll be really disappointed if one of the remaining blue team members wins this season.

Once Michelle is gone I probably won't watch anymore.

Two episodes left till the finale, so you might as well hold up for three more weeks. I really hope Michelle makes it to the final three.

Icky...Icky...ICKY!!!! Everything she does gets on my LAST NERVE...she really thinks she's quite adorable.

I hate to say it because I really think Amy is just naive...but she brought this on herself.

And me some Rocco!!!

After last nite, I have to agree with the person who said she did it for BOB

Did you see that never-ending hug? IT was almost uncomfortable, and that's after the EDITING that probably cut 30secs-1min off of it. She was clinging on as if to a lover - I know it's emotional but she knew it was on tv. Totally smitten. Have to agree with someone's dh who said, 'doesn't she know........?' lol

I missed it last night!!! I see what happened though. I have to say- I agree it is Amy's own fault. Colleen was such a freaking sweetheart and Amy sent her home instead of that witch Vicky?!

I'm sure she does. He's become a real friend to her though, I think the trainers and contestants get close on the ranch. Also, I think he was talking to her when they were hugging, probably telling her it will be okay and that she can do it on her own too. Bob is such a sweetie.
