...I'd have chosen Amy too - if it had been the red team I'd have wanted Ken from Washington to go (that's his name, right?) While his teammate Heather irritates me - could do without her - I was pretty disappointed that he just quit during the challenge.
Maybe they didn't show us enough of what went on; how/why he quit when he did... I thought his team was pretty classy - surprise for the red team - in finishing the challenge without him for the right reasons.
Amy was a good strategic choice and I was disappointed in her reaction - no need to call the guys bastards - it's a team event right now but it's for the whole tamale after!
What do you guys think?

I would not have chosen Amy. Her arguments were correct, she has shown what she's made of. She has brought in good percentages every week. It would make more sense to vote off Erick, as he is struggling, or Marty, as he is consistently a big threat.
Amy was one of the people I was rooting for to make it to the end. She had a strong determination, always put up good numbers every week and always put forth a strong effort in her workouts. I was mad they picked her off.
She looks stunning though

I think the 'bastard' comment was more in jest. I do believe she was genuinely upset and taken aback by what the guys did. I think she handled it well. She questioned them and her facts were spot on, so I understand her reaction completely. She said 'bastards' with a smile, so she was able to get in a little dig, without seeming like a total bitch, as opposed to the red teams' last elimination.
They say the best revenge is looking great -- and she sure does!

I'll give ya that all day long - in fact her success after she went home is great motivation! I just think that strategically, unless Eric doesn't kick in (but I think Bob has pushed him to do so) the men have a better chance at putting up bigger percentages. We'll see if I'm wrong, but that's where I'm at today.
