OMG!!!  I have gotten to where I just hate black versus blue because Jillian and I work so well together now and I don't think that it should ever be about a competition between us.  It should be about getting all of these people as healthy and happy as we can during their stay with us.  It was so painful to see how upset everyone was getting during this transition and as a viewer all I could say was, how is this getting them closer to there ultimate goals?  When I saw how upset Liz was it killed me, and Danny being so upset… it was painful.  And don't even get me started on that little cherub Amanda.  I was so sad to see her that upset.  All I could say to her at that moment was that Jillian would take good care of you, which she did.  I just feel like we are so past that since our show is more than a reality show, it is honestly changing people’s lives and that is what I like to focus on.  I always talk to people about finding their purpose and my purpose is to try and awaken that spark of hope that is in all of us, no matter how dark the journey might be at any given time.  Anyway, enough about that.  

That challenge looked SO HARD, don't you think?  I felt sorry for the black team watching it because they couldn't compete with those big guys, but they ended up winning the weigh in which was AMAZING!!!  One other thing about Tracy picking the teams… let's not forget that everyone except Abby wanted that power and for whatever reason Tracy got it, so she shouldn't be vilified because whoever would have gotten it, the other players would still be upset.  It was sad to see Coach Mo leave but I was so happy that he went back home and “paid it forward”.  That is what it is all about.  Help someone today after you read this blog that could be struggling on their journey or has yet to start.  You will not only be helping them but you will be helping yourself stay focused.  If we all join together, can you imagine how many people we could help.  I encourage you to get as many people as you can to follow me on Twitter @mytrainerbob as I continue to send out words of encouragement and also try to make you laugh sometimes too.  LET'S CHANGE THE WORLD!!!!

Okay let's talk about the Red Team and how they fell on the sword for Shay in the last episode.  I have so many feelings when it comes to that because at first they did such a noble thing for her because of her lack of support at home and the obvious reasons why Shay needs to be on campus.  I was just so sad for Antoine and Sean because they really did need to be there too.  Let's not forget that Sean weighed in at 444lbs.  The bottom line is that both of those teams needed to stay with Jillian and I and it was just a lose lose situation but didn't the Red Team look great at the end.  I was happy to see Antoine and Alexandra being together and Sean losing all that weight on his own.  Granted, Sean still has more weight to lose but what an excellent start.  

Now let's talk about Tracey.  To give her the benefit of the doubt, in the beginning she was behind the eight ball since she had to be off campus while everyone else was there bonding with one another and Tracey felt like an outsider when she came in, so she felt compelled to play the game to get an advantage.  With that said, you saw what I said about game players and I meant it.  When people come in just wanting to play the game to further themselves it is a dangerous route to take when it comes to your overall weight loss because when the game is over, what is your motivation??  Tracey was very much a game player in this week and Jillian and I were not having it AT ALL!!
