I really like Danny and Rudy. They are great guys and seem to be putting everything they have in this.
I will sort of miss Tracy if they ever get rid of her. Her craziness is entertaining in a way. I love how she just doesn't understand, ever, why someone would be mad at her. That kind of completel oblivion is impressive in its own way.
Karen
I don't think it is oblivion as much as she feel entitled to do whatever she wants and is amazed that anyone would question her.

I found it less than supporting those that went home and their families ate like before in front to them while they were struggling to keep on the plan. Dina and Shay's family especially. Its like an alcoholic getting out or rehab and going to dinner with friends who order drinks. The pressure of trying to stay on the program around others who are less than supportive is quite tough. So thrilled that she has stuck with it and done so well. I hope her family has since learned to be more supportive.
I don't see Shay having an easy time when she goes home. Her husband ate TWO dinner entrees, her step-son had pizza and a huge plate of fries and yet she's stressing over any oil with her grilled chicken and vegetables. What if she gets to the point where she sees what everyone else is eating and falls into temptation? Her family wasn't supporting and encouraging to her at all. For this one week they could have said, "hey, you show us how to eat so we can help you reach your goal." To me, it was quite selfish.
Danny's family was hugely supportive and jumped on the plan with him. If they maintain that he'll do incredibly well when he gets home and they will all benefit.

Allison I think Danny will succeed no matter where he is but I agree his family is VERY supportive.

It is rude for family to behave like that but I am not sure if they realize they have a problem. I always thought that most people knew how to eat healthy and stay fit but chose not to do it. I was surprised to find out how uneducated many people are in this respect. I think it is possible that those families that eat terrible in front of the contestants do not realize that they have a problem as well.
I just think Danny is great. I am so happy he will be bringing healthier habits back to his family. It breaks my heart to see overweight verging on obese children. They are facing so many more challenges than their healthier peers and it is because of choices their parents made. How many people struggle with their weight through their adult lives because they were never taught healthy habits as children.
Karen.

Maybe....
It amazes me Tracy's attitude toward the others. There seems to be a lack of empathy for the other contestants especially since she can relate. Her competitive nature seems almost cruel at times. I realize its a contest but considering the teams and working together you'd would have hoped that they would be happy for each other's successes. She went on how she hoped that the team who went home last week would blow it big time. Just seems heartless. I hope she goes too.

Spoiler alert! Kind of... Lol.
I wonder if Daniel might have other bodily issues. I know he said before that he would try to lose and not be able to; has a doctor checked out these people's glands and hormone levels? It seems like, IF he's doing all he should be, that he should lose a LOT more. I don't advocate how they do things on the show, but with what they do, he should be losing more.

I was thinking either that or he's sneaking food somehow. Can they sneak food??? He didn't look all that surprised to me, and he did have a guilty look. But then...I'm a mom and I know that guilty look on my kids. LOL

Ok is it just me or has Liz turned into TRACY JR?????? Wow, the comments she made last night at times made Tracy seem lame!!!!! And poor Abby, what a precious woman and she has been through so much! I'm thrilled to see her still losing and she is looking good!!!
As for Daniel, something is up and they do have doctors that monitor them but they really need to do some more tests unless he is slipping and eating. But last year (I think it was) there were folks with the problem they weren't eating enough for the exercise they were doing and didn't lose, I wonder if that could be it.
I have to agree with Danny though, I would have voted for Daniel too.

I think with Abby, she was fighting for what she truly believed was best for her. She had 'cracked through the wall' and wanted to be with family and friends as well as continue her weight loss!

I was very disappointed that Abby left. Why fall on the sword for Daniel, anyhow? This is his second go around on this show and did well at home. He can do well at home again. He obviously is not following the plan there on campus.

I understand what Abby did. She never really had a problem with weight or a poor relationship with food. She was imbolized with an unthinkable amount of grief. She finally broke through that obstacle. She finally believed she was going to be okay. I see her going home as a symbol of loving others. Until she came there, she had shut herself off from loving. It was too hard. But now she could love again, she gave this gift to those people out of love. I don't see it so much as falling on her sword but just knowing her journey was elsewhere. She is very different than any of the other contestants.

Very well put, I just cried as I listened to her talk about what happened to her family. Because I've only be watching off and on this season, I didn't know anything about them until Tuesday night and it was heartbreaking!

Daniel should have gone home. He's had two seasons plus I believe they continue with personal trainers at home as well. Either way, whatever the deal is with Daniel he should start packing.
I too, have been disappointed in Liz. Her loyalties have switched and it seems that Tracey has been a poor mentor.
Several of you have described Abby's journey as one of grief and maybe even a bit of survivor guilt. I agree. Abby is slowly discovering her passion for life once again. I was thrilled to see her looking so incredibe since leaving. She's a beautiful lady. I hope she finds love once again.
So, who's next to head home?

I agree. And I thought it was really weird that her "after" segment was running that mile. Everyone else was at home and showing off their new bodies and stuff.

Yes. SHE is gone.
Ruth, I don't much care for Daniel at this point either.
Right now, Rudy and Amanda are my favorites, I think.

I like Rudy, but isn't Amanda "America's Choice"? I don't much care for her. I like Danny and Allen. Actually, I'm rooting for all the boys except Daniel.

There seemed to be a bit of warming towards Tracey from her blue team but it wasn't enough to save her. Between the two I figured she'd go home. Seems Liz really warmed up to her while being on the blue team after all her talk of revenge. Must admit that I've lost it for Liz and Daniel. Ready to see them head home. Daniel has had quite a long while to get down the program. Glad to see him successful this week but he's had time and needs to head on home to finish his journey. Really seeing major changes in some of them. Amanda is looking wonderful as is Rebecca. The guys are doing such an incredible job! Rudy, Danny and Allen are working it!
Who do you predict goes home next week?

See, I'm not a big fan of Amanda.....she melted down and quit on Jillian. When her buddy Bob asked her to do the same thing, suddenly it was not so hard. What's gonna happen to her when the show is over or she gets sent home and Bob is no longer there? Her motivation needs to come from her, not from her trainer!
Daniel also needs to go home, as does Liz. Beyond the three of them, I like everyone else at this point and would be fine with any of them winning. Of course, as we get more game play towards the end, that opinion may change.
