‘Biggest Loser’: Amy is singing the blues

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Amy found that out the hard way -- although it seemed pretty obvious to everyone else -- that Vicky was hell-bent on payback. Last week, Amy saved Vicky from elimination. This week, Vicky returned the favor by kicking Amy out, repayment for a strategic maneuver that came earlier in the season when Amy effectively eliminated Vicky’s husband, Brady, from the game.

I still have no clue what Amy was thinking when she kept Vicky around. Amy was sitting pretty! She was a dark horse to win the game -- she leaves the Biggest Loser ranch as the person who has lost the most weight on campus so far this season. Why she decided to save Vicky’s hide last week is beyond me. Could she really be that naive? Maybe. She seemed pretty sincere when she looked into the camera during the football challenge and said: ‘There aren’t any alliances on blue team that I know of ... ‘

Um, well, what about the Vicky-led alliance trying to eliminate you?

The game is about to get real interesting, real fast, with mother-and-daughter Renee and Michelle on one side, and Heba, her husband Ed, and Vicky on the other.

Who do you think will be the last one standing, and why? Who do you think will win the at-home version of the game?
