‘Biggest Loser’s’ Amy: I blew it

We’ve tried, and failed, to figure out what Amy was thinking when she gave the ax to sweet Coleen instead of -- bleck! -- the manipulative and conniving Vicky.
So it was nice of Amy to answer questions via e-mail and through NBC. We basically asked her: What were you thinking??? You had this one in the bag. You were flying under the radar, ready to bag that $250,000 prize, and then you inexplicably kept the bigger threat on board, only to have her stab you in the back the following week. Again: What were you thinking????
Here’s what Amy had to say:
You know, I was being pulled in different directions, and when you are isolated from the world and the people you REALLY trust (ie: your MOTHER!), it’s hard to figure out who to trust. At the time, I thought this was the best decision, so I just ran with it ....and yes, Vicky WAS a bigger threat than Coleen...if I played the game differently, I would have been $250k richer :)
We also asked: What did you learn from all of this? In retrospect, would you do things differently? And Amy said:
I have learned to trust my OWN instincts and not be influenced by other people; and ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER!!! :)
Thanks again to Amy for not sugar-coating it. So. Who do you think will get the boot tonight?
