Goodbye, Shay and Daniel.
I don’t know what’s worse: being the only contestant to appear on TBL for two seasons, only to get knocked off because you couldn’t lose any weight, or being an orphan who’s weighed more than 300 lbs for the better (sort of?) half of your life, only to be kicked off of the program that touted saving your life. OK, so I know which one’s worse. (Shay.) It’s actually tragic if you think about it. Jillian’s constant barking at Shay urging her to recall her mother’s pathetic existence (tricks in front of her daughter, a heroin overdose that took her life) was only stopped short by her fellow contestants basically giving her back to society, now viewed as dead weight to the escalating contest that pits old against young. Shay lost a whopping 17lbs this week, and was still cut loose like fat from short ribs. Brutal. The week before this, the team showed another cold hand, by letting Abby go. You remember Abby. The woman who lost her whole family in a car accident? Yeah. Also seen as dead weight.
