I don’t know what I used to do when I had to sit through commercials. I didn’t wait long enough to start watching, so I can either sit and watch commercials, or I can come write down my thoughts so far.

Tracey, Tracey, Tracey. I seriously can’t believe that woman. She has to be the most naive and impulsive person. What was she thinking, trading 2 measly pounds for no trainers all week?! If there is ANYONE on the show that needs a trainer, it’s her! She is already at a major disadvantage, having been on campus an entire week less than everyone else. There is no way she can possibly know enough after 1 week to be able to do it on her own. Besides, had someone else won those pounds, so what? She only needs to stay above 1 team. AND, then she went and ate 4 cupcakes. What will that possibly gain her? How will she know who to pick for the weigh-in? And even then, it’s always a gamble! So, she gave up her trainers for a week, took the trainers from her teammate, ate 400 more calories than everyone else, and put a big fat target on her crazy back. I know she may need it, but if she keeps it up, I think she deserves to go.

Well, I’ve now finished the episode, and I’m greatly disappointed. The last 2 weeks have been enjoyable to watch, because they have promoted teamwork, and everyone has been so supportive of each other. And while gameplay was eventually going to be a factor, it didn’t yet play a part. Then Tracey came back. And sadly, it seems her gameplay is completely irrational, unpredictable, and senseless. She didn’t need those 2 pounds, she didn’t need control of the game, and now no one is happy for her success, because it was at the expense of everyone else!

I have never in my life seen a woman lose 11 pounds on week 3, and experience silence. Not a soul clapped for her. Duh! And the people she chose to weigh in for their team weren’t always the person I expected. And when she could have been kind and honored people’s requests, she stabbed them in the backs. And she tried to make it out to be “noble,” like if they had worked hard, they should honored to be the one weighing in! Yeah right.

I so badly wish she had lost 1 pound… or had chosen Mo to weigh in. Honestly, when I looked at the 2 teams in the bottom, those were the ONLY ones I didn’t want to go up against each other. Shay has to be there. I love Dan. And my absolute favorite person on campus was Sean. I wasn’t so attached to Antoine, but I would have kept him over the black team, the blue team, the brown team, and possibly the pink team. I am really happy Allen won immunity, because I thought Abby still deserved a chance to stay, being injured.

However, with that said, I thought it was one of the best ways to go out. Two awesome guys sacrificed themselves, because they knew they could do it at home better than the others. What class. I am really happy how great both of them look. And did anyone guess that it was Antoine who Alexandra had a thing for? Funny… but cute!

I spent so much time talking about Tracey, I didn’t share my thoughts on the challenge. What would you have chosen? Many trips with 10 pounds, or fewer trips with 25?
