From NBCUVM.com:

A WEEK OF SURPRISES - INCLUDING THE RETURN OF ALL THE ELIMINATED CONTESTANTS - SHAKES THINGS UP FOR “THE BIGGEST LOSERS” --It’s a week of surprises for “The Biggest Losers,” and the first is the news from host Alison Sweeney that they’ll start competing as individuals now instead of as teams. Then comes the surprise return of all the eliminated contestants, and the revelation that only one gets to return to the game - and that decision won’t be determined by weight loss. Then the contestants get a surprise visit from last season’s “Biggest Loser” - Alison Vincent! Later, two contestants clash in a big way before the challenge, in which contestants have to stay one step ahead of the competition - literally. And after the weigh-in, the players get their last surprise - a twist in how this week’s elimination will go down. Trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels star.

I believe there are convicted murders in prison that aren't as vile as Vicki. She is the worst human being I have ever seen. I feel sorry for her kids. If they grow up to be like her, they'll have no friends. She is so ugly that no makeover is going to help her, can't polish a turd.
Heba is right behind her. During the challenge I kept yelling at Heba to shut her cow hole. God, I would've smacked her.

I don't even care that Brady is gone. Amy must've realized that she is left to hung. If she would've been below the line with Michelle, no doubt the blue team would've kicked her to the curb. They never once talked about her, it was all about the 4 of them. There was no 5 on that team, it was 4.
I'm just so glad Coleen is still on. Each week I get a little more hopeful that she'll keep it up and stay till the end.

So Vicki has no problem trashing everyone else's spouse, but burn her and she'll kill you. Seriously, this chick is scary evil. I'd definelty be more afraid to be alone with her then a murder..

As if Vicki, Heba and Brady together weren't bad enough... now let's add Ed back into the mix! Poor Stacey. Poor me. I really wanted her to win that challenge if only to shut Heba up for five seconds.

Thank you Amy. Uh-oh...big, bad Vicki wants revenge next week. Crush her Amy. Crush her hard.

EEK! I saw Brady and Michelle go to the bottom two, and I turned it off to not watch the "coalition of evil" gloat. I turn it back for the last 2 minutes, only to see BRADY voted off? How in the heck did that happen?

Hoo. Boy. Did I MISS something? Did I miss the show where Phillip was acting like a total douche and that's why the entire blue team (minus Amy C). hates him? Why the heck did the entire team hates him? I get the Heba hate (however sense that doesn't make). But everyone else?

Also - Bob looks so sad. It was obvious when Bob found out that Amy (Phillip's wife) was there and he FELL ON TOP OF HER (so incredibly jealous. Utterly. Completely. ) and he was just so happy at that moment, and I wanted her to stay for Bob. So he'd have someone to cheer for . And win.

I have nothing else to say except Stacey rocks.
I refuse to type how I feel about Vicky. I REALLY do.
What were the previews for next week please? For the life of me I don't know why Canada doesn't show them.

ETA: 24 Addict: The Turd Team voted for Michelle, Blacks+Amy voted for Brady. It equalled a tie, and Brady had the lowest number (2.22 to 3.12?? I think it was). But why do I have a feeling this was only done to ensure soemthing like this would have happened. (I'm SO prone to change my mind). ALL WEEK. Team Turd is all like "Blue all the way, Blue all the Way, it's gonna be all blue in the finale...." and then for the first (and I bet you ONLY time) they do voting without an hour to campaign?

And I had to giggle about Jillian's "I'm ALWAYS the UNDERDOG." Yes Jill, you are - but then you always win.

I am so glad Amy decided to think for herself. Not having that hour to have the others brainwash her really made the difference I think. It made the most sense for her to get rid of Brady since as soon as the black team was gone that turd four was going to turn on her. Way to go Amy. But watch your back Vicky is a nasty evil bitch and she will hurt you physically if she can.

Stacey was so close. I was really pulling for her. Though she seemed a bit dramatic with all the crying. Even still, it would have been great to have her back.

So glad Brady is gone. He was almost as bad as his wife, with all the eye rolling. Bad as his wife is, at least she's open about her hate. He tries to pretend that he's not that bad. They are the most vile two people ever to be on this show. I'm not a huge fan of Phil, but his speach about how this weight loss journey is supposed to be positive thing really hit the mark.

I hope Bob's talk with Amy really pushes her to do well at home. I want her to get the 100,000. Was it a bit strange how Bob tackled her on the bed? They weren't that quick at getting up either. Just me? Ok.

I laughed SO hard when Bob kept snapping at Heba in the gym! He didn't liked how they tricked him into thinking Phil was back. He looked sooo excited at the thought that Phil would be back.

Thank GOD Amy thought for herself. I hope she aligns wiht the black team after this.

Amy realized that Brady is a bigger threat to her than Michelle and voted for him. This created a tie and therefore, Brady went home as he had the lowest % of weight loss for the week.

Brady's ouster couldn't even put a grin on my face after the crap that spewed out of his wife's mouth. What a hypocritical bitch. I'd love to just go slap her across the face. The problem with people like that is they never figure it out. The problem is always with the other people and they can do no wrong.

Not clapping when everyone was during the first weigh in is just poor sportsmanship.

I promised myself that I wouldn't go there, but I am - their little girl still looks fat and I don't see her growing up to be a healthy woman - $350k won't last long but unwanted weight is forever.

I really, really cannot wait to see how Vicki tries to put the spin on her most VILE behavior!!!! Over and over she keeps posting on her myspace page that we aren't seeing things as they are - but seriously? Just when I think she could not get any bitchier, she always does!!!

She makes me sick. The way she treated Phillip was completely uncalled for.

I am always boggled by these shows. It becomes clear, sooner or later, that someone is going to have to break an alliance in order to preserve him/herself. Then the very same people who were about to take this person out instead crucify him/her for playing the very "game" the alliance was formed to play.

*bang head* It's unbelievable. It's like a coalition of the stupid.

Vicki is a foul person. Do people not realize that the viewing public is... viewing? I'm totally flabbergasted. Amy is about to be punished for using her mind. Shocker, right?

Congrats to the program on creating one of the biggest villains in reality TV history. Vicky makes all the rest seem normal. She's not just mean, she's craaaazy mean. What is with the "anyone but Phil is deserving" rhetoric? I've been watching all season, and I've yet to see what he did that was so awful.Vicky was in full smug-on tonight.

Brining Ed back was just more fuel for her delusional fire. So glad Brady was kicked to the curb. Apparently Amy C's Mom talked some sense into here at the Subway - she finally had the chutzpah to go against the big bad blue team (even though they are supposed to be playing as singles). If there is a redemption arc playing out, I hope they show Vicky getting her comeuppance in a big way - you will have many TBL fans cheering at the show.

OH. MY. GOD. I have never been so excited about a damn reality show in my life. There were so many emotions tonight. At first I was literally screaming the C-word at my TV every time Vicky was up there smirking. And when she said that about Phil, I could not believe that there was actually someone that vile on this earth. For her to actually say that Phil is a bad example for America and then smirk her fugly face. I was SCREAMING at my TV. Phil is a wonderful example of a man, a husband and a father. This bullshit spewing from this woman's mouth who admitted that losing weight was "noble too" but that winning money was more important. The bitch (bitch is not even a bad enough word to call her) who didn't think a message from her CHILDREN who she made fat by stuffing their faces with junk and fast food was important enough to even muster an ounce of effort in a challenge. THAT woman doesn't think Phil is a good example for America? Thank God because I don't want her kind of example.

And I was cheering SO hard for anyone but Ed to win that challenge. But I could see tha while Stacy was giving it every bit she could that she just didn't have enough in her.

So all it could come down to was sweet Amy. I think her momma had a good talking to with her and basically told her that she had NO chance whatsoever if she stuck with the Axis of Evil. Amy's not a dumb girl but I know she knows that what she did makes her very vulnerable. Vicky will claw her eyes out. But she has protection in numbers if she sticks with the girls but you know that her former "teammates" will not hesitate to slit her throat the second she falls against probably even another black team member. Good thing she pulls good numbers every week - just nice, middle of the road ones that can keep her safe.

I love how Shellay took Amy aside and without mentioning names, set her straight about looking out for herself while swimming with those sharks.

BuhBye, Brady! I loved seeing his Bitch Face wife taken down a notch.

Does Ed have brain damage? I know that Brady is none to bright, but Ed looks like he's missing a few bulbs.

Well - It doesn't help when people like Allie are going, "Well the MOST IMPORTANT thing here is the Jello grand prize of 250,000 dollars". Um I thought that the most important thing was to be healthy. So to disguting vile people like Brady/VIcky they don't care about their children (Remember they didn't even want their letters from home". I am just glad their kids are 4 and 7 so they won't remember this at all.

Oh wow, maybe I should have tuned in for the last ten minutes after all. I just can't stomach Vicki and Heba. I guess I really owe an apology to villains of the past on other reality shows because apparently they weren't that bad and I did enjoy watching them even if I was rooting against them.

Goodbye Brady! If only Vicki could have gone with you.

Did any of y'all notice that NBC kind of gave away who was eliminated beforehand earlier in the show? Remember after the Prevention magazine segment with the free groceries? The magazine cover showed two people - that was Renee and Michelle! I know that the Prevention magazine cover thing is part of the makeover epi they do every season. Since both mother and daughter were on the cover - that gave away that both of them will go as far as the makeover epi.

I used the spoiler bars just in case for those who might not have caught this. Don't want to spoil for those who are spoiler free!

Oh. My. God.

Amy C., I take back my dislike of you from last week. As someone who knows what it's like to want to be liked by everyone, I know how hard it is to speak up and think for yourself. And I also know how hard it is when they turn on you.

I'm thinking that Shellay is a wise, wise woman and saw the Axis of Evil for what they are. I also think their talk at Subway went a lot deeper than what we were shown.

The final twist: If the twist after the weigh in hadn't happened, Heba/Ed and Vicky/Brady would have pressured Amy until she cracked. I think the producers realized that they couldn't let the Axis of Evil continue to rule the game and pick off the black team one by one. There was too much manipulation, and the tptb don't like to be out-manipulated.

Was I the only one hoping that when Heba jumped into Ed's arms, she knocked him over and broke his arm or something? I hate him as much as his wife. ("Dig in, Ed!" WTF?)

Next week's previews: That revenge note scared the shit out of me. Vicky and Heba have now crossed the line from competitive to fucking crazy.

Vicky is ugly. She is below 200, but her ugly face will never change.

you absolutely CANNOT edit haggard old bitch. Vickie is VILE. They cannot make someone roll their eyes and snicker and just act like a general douche.
Blue needs to burn in the hell that is no money. It's the only thing they are after anyhow.
I also agree, as much as I am not a fan of Phil, atleast he is grateful for the opportunity and is a genuine person.
BURN IN HELL BLUE!!!!

This is the first time I've commented here on this season but seeing Vicky getting just a teensy weensy bit of comeuppance was too. effin'. SWEET!

I just don't get why Sock Monkey-face has to be so hateful. Her comment at the first weigh-in was so damn uncalled for. I agree with those here who call her evil. I'm just wondering what else she has to be smug about - like is she cheating somehow to lose so much weight? I so want to see her fall on her face.

I'm so glad Amy thought for herself. I hope she aligns herself with the black team next week.

I missed the first hour, so I thought about not tuning in and catching it online later this week. Boy, am I glad I didn't!

Seeing Brady walk out the door was so sweet, especially considering how arrogantly his wifey-poo was about him not needing to pull a big number, cause they could keep him safe.

And go Colleen and Amy! You both deserve to walk away with this years prize.

So happy with tonight's events!! Yay, Amy, you have been one of my favorites since the start but until tonight I didn't really have a good reason. And the Brady vote was SO awesome! The only thing that would have been sweeter is if his bitch of a wife had been in his place. Or Heba, for that matter. Or Ed. But Brady will do, so great that a 'blue shirt' went home!! I really doubted that Amy had either the guts or the smarts to do the right thing, but she did. I hope she wins this whole thing, just because of what she did tonight. She'll have a tough road next week, dealing with Vickie's (ugh!) revenge. Vickie is such an ugly person even when she is trying to be half-way nice, I can only imagine how hateful she'll be when she's trying. Michelle, Renee and Colleen (who is now my 2nd-favorite) will have Amy's back, for what that's worth. Hope they can take out another blue next week (Amys an honorary black now). Hope its Vickie. Or Heba. Or Ed. Especially Vickie! And don't worry about it Phil, the whole world has seen that you are not the evil ugly one that Vickie tried to make you out to be, she even seems to have Bob convinced! You have been vindicated, and next week I think we'll see even more evidence ot that !!


Oh, and _ bye bye Brady, Enjoy the rest of your life, and considering your life partner, learn to sleep with one eye open.
