    Wow! So happy for Jacky and Stephen are still losing so much and stay on the show! It will be great the things they learn they will bring back to their family!

    Love Colby! And wow...Erin and Felicia not the greatest weight loss, but glad they are looking at the positive.

    Love this challenge with the weight!!

    Great first episode! I'm going to watch the second one another night. I can't believe we are almost at the end! Not gonna lie this may have been one of my favorite episodes. Roberto has not been my favorite but his speech to everyone out there to get active was awesome.

    Agreed! I thought his speech was straight forward and full of truth!

    Can't believe they finished on a cliffhanger.
    Erin looked so good! Can't wait to see her in the finale!

    Completed commercial challenge

    I was so frustrated when the second episode ended like it did! I like Jacky but I'm pulling for Colby to be in the finale. He's been one of my favorites throughout the entire season.

    Agreed that Erin looked amazing!

    Yeah, been really torn between Jacky and Colby too. He's been my favorite all season alongside Erin; but I kinda wanted to see at least one woman in the last 3 ... By the way, I can't be the only one that think that they didn't lose enough right? I mean at this point, there shouldn't be any 'big guys'; usually the week before the finale there isn't anyone who isn't in onederland!

    I really wish that either Erin or Felicia was in the finale. I agree that the entire season I've wanted a woman to make the finale. But I just don't find myself rooting for Jacky as much as I root for Colby.

    I also thought the losses seemed low this season. Perhaps it is a result of a new filing schedule? I've read that prior seasons are filmed over a longer period of time than is really depicted. Like some "weeks" are actually closer to two weeks, which of course inflates the appearance of how much weight the contestants have lost over the course of the season. Can't say how true or not true that is though.

    So they just tell them to say it's a week? That make way more sense since even tho each episode this season is 'two weeks', they often say 'next week' in the first part of the episode, referring to the next episode (which is supposed to be the week after the next). It was annoying me xD

    Was rooting for Erine & Felicia too. I wanted either of those with Steven and Colby in the finale :3

    I wasn't a fan of the rope challenge that Erin won. I also didn't like that she had to give a 1 lb disadvantage to someone. I think it ended up backfiring on her. Neither it nor her 1 lb advantage helped her stay in the game. So sad.

    I agree!! Hate the way they ended. Didn't make sense to end that way.
