Amy looked AMAZING! She worked hard and I hope that gives her a real shot at the hundred thousand.

HEY! In that video from home, it was just Shellay and her husband. Where was Amy's cute brother????????

just look for him on here, hes been on the board since she started the show...wink wink...

I was looking forward to seeing him as well on that video

I was looking too.. But maybe he doesn't live in their hometown or is away at college..

It was neat to see Pete from season 2 at her homecoming!

Does that mean Amy is going to be on tonight?

Here is a link to an interview she gave recently to Reality World.. She explains herself more fully.. and admits regrets.. but has a good attitude about it though.. She mentions she's lost a 100 lbs. at that point of the interview.. She is going to be a force to be reckoned with!

Holy cow!!! Too bad that she's gone because I truly believe that she could have been the winner (or loser lol)

I just looked through a bunch of clips at MSNBC and gleaned these.

Shellay and Amy both look great.. (separate clips)

Lol! You guys are too funny!

I live in Florida and my family lives in Michigan. I wanted to be home so bad, but there was no way I could get out of work

Fortunately, I am flying out to LA tomorrow to attend the Live Grand Finale!!!!

I am sooooo excited. You will all be shocked when you see my mom and sister. They're definitely working hard for that at home prize!

Well you make damn sure you get a little camera time

Tell your mom and sis good luck, we wish them well!!

I'll do my best, haha!

We all really appreciate everybodys support! It's been an amazing journey for them and they have new stories to tell me everyday. It's quite entertaining that they've become local celebrities! I'm so proud and happy for them!

^^a lot of members have seen photos of them and state they looked wonderful. As for me, I am waiting for the finale. Amy and your mom are just beautiful.

To darn bad Amy did not vote Vicky off when she had the chance, that way she would have been in the top 3. Well anyway, I am proud to hear she is doing great.

Ooh, tell her she sings beautifully.

Amy fully regrets not getting rid of Vicky. She made a split second decision that she was highly pressured into making from her team and BOB.

The photos you see don't do them justice...they look even better

I knowwww...she is an awesome singer right? Her dream really is to persue her singing career. Maybe she will get noticed by someone and could make her dream a reality?

I said early on that Bob needed to stay out of the voting process.....Jillian as well. A lot of members here thought she was pressured as well to keep Vicky in. I just wished she had listened to her mom and stop trying to be a people pleaser....she was not keeping her best interest in mind that day for sure.

As for Amy singing.....TBL should have given her more air time singing, like they did with Dan last year. Amy can sing......even better, she needs no instruments in the background to make her sound better.

I hope you stay around and keep us updated after the finale. I would love to know if she ever records....I know I would purchase her music.

Yeah it's really frustrating, but she's past it and focusing on being the biggest loser at home!

That would have been nice, but I think they had the fitness aspect in mind more for her "where are they now". (BTW, she informed me the other day that she can do a wall sit for 5 minutes at a time...with up to 300lbs of sandbags on her lap!) The wall sit is the same infamous excercise that she could barely do for a few seconds in the first episode and Jillian made her cry for it, lol.

My sister now puts her 6'3" 210lb brother to shame. *sigh* haha

I will definitely keep you guys updated after the finale. I'm sure I will be able to open up and say a lot more.

We were pulling for your sister and continue to pull for her to win the 100 grand challenge. She SHOULD have been one of the ones in the finale and up for the 250 grand. We knew once she did not vote off Vicky that it would be her last week. Amazing how karma bites everyone BUT Vicky. A definate woulda, coulda, shoulda moment - if only they gave out Mulligans...

We are going to hold you to it

The good guys never win! Well, actually, hopefully Michelle changes that and wins!

Amy is just using that as fuel to her fire to feed her desire to win that at home challenge!



I must consult the purple team before I say too much though! So don't get toooo excited! What momma says goes!

Oh yes! The wall sit! Remembering doing those in physical therapy! Talk about torture!

I am impress that she can do one for five minutes and with 300lbs of sandbags on her lap!

Good luck next week Amy and Shellay! Go kick Vicki's, Brady's and Heba's behinds!

As much as I would LOVE to know more dirt... It is time to be done with this and not carry it forward. Nothing you could or would post would surprise me and it is definately time for Vicky's 15 minutes to be over and DONE with. Who cares? This season is almost over and she will hopefully go back to obscurity.

I would MUCH rather hear positives from this point forward. Amy has an incredible voice and both her and Shellay appear to be a hoot and a half!!

I would much rather celebrate the successes of those who wanted to do this for what I perceive to be the right reasons. Yeah, sure some of it is money and some of it is just the point of being on a reality show - but it is also about losing the weight and getting to the reason of the why and what got someone to that point to begin with.

So tell us the positive and let's let the negative go - time to be done with it.

Good Luck Amy C!! Good Luck Shellay!! you both look amazing from the photos on your Myspace!!

Your parents raised you well........

CindyA49 some people here actually believed Vicky's rants were due to editing...it's nice to hear from someone WHO ACTUALLY is not ashamed to announce if they are friends or related to a contestant and let us know what actually happened.

Chazee - I get that - but do you honestly think that those who believe the editing claim will have their minds changed? Vicky could stand up at the finale on Tuesday and say I said and did EVERYTHING attributed to me - I rolled my eyes, made the faces, called Amy C a b*tch, called Phil a weasel, got Ed and Brady to waterload, manipulated Heba - you name it I did it and guess what, I would do it again given the opportunity. Even if she said all of that - someone would post somewhere that it was edited yet again.

I have no issue with Amy's brother coming on and posting what he posted - I knew it was true before he posted it as probably did you. But I really don't care after Tuesday - Vicky is really not worth the mental effort is she? Why give her any more attention past Tuesday than she deserves. I personally don't believe a word out of her mouth or one thing she has posted on her blog - I think she is gameplaying even now. I promise you she will be strutting out on Tuesday night in high heels - "broken" foot and all...

As I have said before - her vickyness will continue to shine through - even at the finale. The joys of Tivo - LOVE the fast forward button...

Again Good luck Amy C and Shellay!! Hope one of you win the at home!!

we love the drama

All kidding aside....I think that Amy's brother coming in here explaining a little of what happened is nothing less than him defending his sister's honor to those WHO criticized her....he only confirmed what 99% of what all forums are saying about this subject matter.

There is a lesson to be learned here for future contestants...DO NOT BEHAVE LIKE VICKY........ be a game player....but keep your mouth shut and display a little class.

Well now you are just going and making sense.

I'd also like to add that Shellay is a Rock.Star. and I'd like to be adopted.

Oh, ummmm, hi!

Wow, lucky you for being able to go the the finale. Make sure you wave at the camera for us. Good luck to your mom and Amy!

Oh, and if Dan from Season 5 can get a record deal, anyone can. Your sister is a shoo-in!


Exactly what we suspected.

Vicky is in the final 3. She didn't get there by dumb luck. She has played the game to the max.
Where's Amy C.? She's at home because she didn't play the game very well. Too bad so sad.

I don't think it's sad at all. Amy C has the opportunity to turn this into something bigger for herself, something that could really take her places. Vicky? Unless she wants to be a villain the rest of her life her only option is to fade back into the swamps of Louisiana once the finale is over.

And besides, Amy C has a Rock.Star. for a Mom. Who could ask for more then that? And her Dad, the way he cried when he saw her....What a wonderful family to have. The only thing we have seen of Vicky's parents is her Dad saying she will win because she is "a hard person".

That's really not so good, even if you win $250,000. If I had to take the place of one of them, I'd swap with Amy. She has already won.

I disagree....there could have been more offers coming to Vicky after the season is over. Books, magazines, workout videos.....she may win TBL, or she may not.....but one thing for sure, the general population would not purchase anything she promotes......so....she gains nothing after her season.

Most winners of reality shows tend to fade back into their normal lives. Either that or the fame goes to their heads and they end up in rehab or jail.

^^^Do you have reliable statistics handy on that, or is that your opinion?

I just saw Allie on a 24 hour fitness commercial. Dr. Jeff does speaking engagements all across the country. Matt wrote a book that sold fairly well. Kai opened a gym I think.

Yeah, they might not be famous, but many, many others do speaking engagements and inspire people to change their lives, to get healthy. I wouldn't call that fading back into their normal lives, I would call that downright successful. Maybe some think of being a "star" is the definition of successful, but those that are paying forward to others, even if they just became a personal trainer, are the biggest winners.

I could totally see Amy getting that singing career. Her voice is awsome and she's beautiful. And Shellay, omg if she became a motivational speaker how awsome would that be? I'd be like going to a stand up routine with a healthy dose of inspiration. I don't even need to mention Renee. I'd pay big bucks to see her speak, she's just incredible.

Vicky? I wouldn't go see her if it was free. She's not inspiring, and what would she talk about? How to game play to win a reality show? That would be about all she has going for her.

Let's not forget Pete Thomas... Who does speaking engagements regularly.. (and didn't you catch him at Amy C.'s homecoming ?) I believe Bill Germanakos was going to represent a medical testing supply company.. and I think he and his brother had formed a company. Then there is season 3's Marty and Amy who also formed a fitness focused business. So I think many of them were trying to use their success to motivate others.

Amy....wanting to wish you the best of luck to win that cash with all the crap you had to endure, you deserve to take home the winnings!!

And if you win, could you turn to the competitors that gave you a hard time and go

Congratulations to Amy and Shellay!! I think you guys look awesome. When Amy's brother said they changed, he wasn't kidding. When Shellay came out I was floored. You guys are definitely inspiring.

I thought you guys did such a great job on the show, not just with weight loss but also carrying yourself in a respectable way!

You both looked soooooooooooo good at the finale. Congrats to you with all your hard work!!!
