AMANDA & NEILL'S PARTING THOUGHTS

What were the advantages and disadvantages of being paired up with your partner?
Amanda: I think the people this season had advantages with having a partner. I couldn't have done this without my husband. It's great that when we go home, we have this commitment, already to change our eating habits and to exercise more.

Neill: I agree with Amanda. It's nice to know that we are still a team when we go home and we will be able to do this journey together.

How did it bring you two closer?
Amanda: It's such an extreme environment. Normal people don't work out for six hours a day. We always had each other to turn to during those grueling times. When I was hurting, Neill would cook or vice-versa. Now we know how to motivate each other to get to our goals. I think knowing that brought us closer.

What will you miss most about the campus?
Neill: The trainers! I got along with them and I learned a lot from them. I don't think I learned everything I could have, but I will miss them.

Amanda: The trainers were genuinely good people. They gave us a lot of knowledge and a lot of their time.

What tips did the trainers give you?
Neill: Jillian taught us how to be more cautious of our calorie intake. She helped me quit my soda addiction.

Amanda: The trainers also taught us how much we can be pushed. They challenged us and we realized we could be pushed harder than we ever thought we could before.
