So, last night I'm watching "The Biggest Loser" as blue team member Vicky - the one everyone has come to hate - has a moment of vulnerability. During a water challenge she has a freak out about jumping the 15 feet into the pool below her. Of course, I wasn't there, but it really didn't seem like that far of a plunge. I also need to point out that she wasn't afraid of heights or swimming in any other challenges.

So, what was her problem? Possibly just another cog in her game play plan to put all the attention on her? Either way it looks like her goose could be sunk now that America gets to decide who will take the third spot in the finale. It's down to Michelle, Ed, Heba and Vicky. If Vicky falls below the yellow line it's, "So long evil one!" No one other than maybe her family will vote her through.

But is she really all that bad? Are the producers just portraying Vicky to be so nasty through creative editing? That was the question I posed to eliminated contestant Renee this morning. I think her answers about Vicky tell us everything we need to know.

Everyone is talking about Vicky right now. It was the front page of Yahoo yesterday - "Evil Vicky." Is she getting a bad rap are we editing little portions of all the mean things she has done?

She is just hardcore. There is no doubt; I guess I will put it that way. I don't think anybody twisted her to say the things she has actually said about people. I was shocked by some of the things she said because we don't see the interviews until we see the TV show ourselves. 

It was interesting that she was so vulnerable last night because that's the first time in all of the show that they showed her like that. Was that a one-time thing?

It was. It was a one-time deal. That was the only time in 93 days that we had been there that she had done that.

How badly do you want Michelle [your daughter] to win this whole thing?

I think Michelle is going to win. There is just kind of like no doubt in my mind. I think she has just got it. I think that she has just proved herself. She has shown that she has not only just worked hard to be where she is at, but, you know, she is a great person - period. And I think she deserves to win. I am just so excited for her. She looks amazing. She feels better than she has ever felt and she is just strong and confident right now.

Michelle won the challenge last night and two weeks at Fitness Ridge Resort and Spa. Will you talk her into taking you with her.

Of course! Actually we were debating it last night. I was giving her all the good reasons why it should be me and her going there. She said it might be a great Christmas present.

I have been to Fitness Ridge in St. George, Utah. It's a fantastic place and it's a great way to kick start your way to being your own Biggest Loser. Check out my blog about it here!

So much for coming to "The Biggest Loser" ranch to shed pounds and change your life. This season several contestants have turned the show into a "Survivor" like game which has had trainer Bob Harper calling the underhandedness, "almost Shakespearean."
 
When last night's eliminated contestant, Philip, was asked if he thought this season's dirty dealings had gone further than in any other season he emphatically replied,
 
"Yes. That is the short answer."
 
The long answer involves his contention that blue team members Heba, Brady and Vicky were "vicious and mean" against both he and his wife Amy (who was eliminated last week). Philip believes that Brady and Vicky last week conspired to get rid of Amy by purposely not losing enough weight. 
 
"Oh absolutely. When Vicky said last night to Bob that Brady was not eating every four hours... total fabrication. He had no difference in the way he was eating since the time he hit the ranch. They are game playing. They have been doing it since they got there."
 
The tension between the teams has been building since the black and blue teams were established several weeks ago. Blue team member Heba accused Phil last night of talking about her behind her back, which led to a heated argument in the dining room.

It took five seasons for a female to win "The Biggest Loser" and it may take five more for a guy to gain back the title. Season six is on track to have yet another female winner as all but two of the men on the ranch have been sent packing. So far Adam, Tom Sr., LT, Jerry and Ed have been eliminated leaving just Brady and Phillip behind with the seven remaining ladies.

This week though, the two remaining men were spared and it was 51-year-old stay at home mom Shellay who was sent home, after the newly formed black team failed to win the weigh in. Her daughter, Amy, remains in the competition. Shellay started the show at 220 pounds and is now down in the 150's and wearing a size eight. She plans to be a size six for the December finale and to win the $100,000 at home prize.
