This week Vicky was upset with Amy for voting to send her husband home.¬† She bad mouthed her the entire episode and referred to her as “bitch” way more than one time.¬† After their “sit down” requested by Bob you could see that Vicky clearly had an effect on Amy’s vote the next time a blue team member was eligible to go home.¬†
The really good part of this reality show is that these people stay together for months and learn about the other people as well as get emotionally involved with their lives.  They get so involved with their emotions that they forget that this is a game and the final prize of $250,000.  So the emotions overcome the players and they end up with more of a problem because of it. 
Last night Vicky and Colleen were below the yellow line when all the weigh-in’s were over.¬†¬†This means that one of them was going to go home.¬† Now the strategy of this game is to lose more weight than your opponent and keep above the yellow line so that you don’t have the possibility of going home.¬† The 4 people that remain after they leave the campus are the only ones with the ability to win the ¬º million.¬† If you go home, you only have a shot of a bonus of $100000 and that includes all the others that were sent home.
It looks like someone made a mistake and might have been bullied into the decision to toss Colleen from the show last night.  Vicky was only eligible for going home this one time.  She is by far the bigger threat and has the ability to lose more weight in larger amounts than Colleen does.  So by keeping her there, she has now made the others bigger targets.  If they sent her packing and stayed with a girl that has less to lose she would most likely be going home the following week. 
What’s your take on last night’s show?

Someone told me on Amy C.’s facebook she wrote that what you see on t.v. is only a small portion of what goes on – and we know how editors can portray someone in a million different ways.
But, maybe Amy thinks that Vicky will eventually get kicked off and got rid of Colleen. She looks great though!

BIZ,
You’re right about the how it all looks on TV stuff, but I think Amy may have missed a chance to boot Vicky. I think she is a much greater threat than Colleen ever would be. Just my thought, if you don’t kick her off now, you’ll just see her in the finals and that’s 1/4 the way to the cash.
