You gasped when they were voted out, cried when they left and missed them when they were gone. You had a strange sense of loss, even though you had only just met them. You were linked by a strong common bond… that of the crazy world of reality TV and a desperate cry for help that you all had made. But now, you’d do anything to make them all disappear again!
Nothing can prepare you for the way you feel when the eliminated contestants come back. You’ve gotten used to a quiet house… and a clean one. Then, all of a sudden, they're all back again – eating all the food, not filling the fridge with water, and clogging up the gym.
It’s so hard to hear their stories of home, their families, and their break from the pressure of Camp Biggest Loser. Plus, they’ve been able to go shopping for clothes!
And now they can just walk in, do a little run (well a 42km run) and slip straight back in!
I suppose if I was eliminated I would think I deserved a second chance. But I wasn’t eliminated and so I don’t like it one bit! And this is my blog, and it’s nearing the end, so today I’m going to say what I really think: send them all home! LOL.
As I mentioned yesterday, this was the one point in the game where I thought I was going to lose it. Not when pulling a bus, or moving a ton of bricks, or jumping from a 34-foot cliff into the sea – those things were easy. It was the mental torture of the eliminated returning that was all too much.
Come to think of it, and looking over what I have just written, I think I’m still troubled by it!
Sensational
Putting that aside I really do want to acknowledge the eliminated contestants. They look sensational! They should be very proud of what they’ve achieved. To be honest, based on that alone, they’ve earned the right to be standing next to the final four.
I’m really looking forward to the race. There are some tough and competitive eliminated contestants who really do have a point to prove.
As for who I think will win… Hmm… It’s between the boys Rick and Wayne, however I do think Wayne may just get him. As for the girls… that’s a hard one… I’ll say Daina or Phoebe, and Jarna also has a good chance.
Really it could go any way at the end of the day. As Michelle said, she has seen the best fail with only 1km to go. This one is going to be big!
Believe in yourself,

To quote the voice over guy at the beginning of the show: “They’re back. The eliminated contestants return. And they mean business.”
