Mara
I can't wait til next week.
Aug 3 2009

This week’s dance was swing. I did well but I made some minor mistakes. My partner was awesome. I did not really enjoy this week’s dance. I can’t wait until next week. I love my song! The biggest challenge was remembering and executing all of the movements. My biggest competition is Ruben.

My weight loss process has been considerably slower than the other contestants because of my age and the fact that I am a Type 2 Diabetic.

I've inspired so many people around me and they, in turn, inspire me to continue this wonderful lifestyle.

I won't say it was always fun but the pain, sweat, tears and joy made ever minute worthwhile.
shayla
Staying healthy really has become apart of my life and I love it!

I lost more weight there than I had in years of trying! What was there to be sad about?

This was an emotional time for everyone, even the producers and camera men.

I've loved every minute of this, and now I have something back that I thought I had lost.

Are you serious.. What is with all these comments accusing the judges of being racist.. Or that due to Mara's skin color her fate had already been prejudged.. I believe theres a little confusion.. Its 2009.. Seriously I agree that Trice did an amazing job.. Yet Mara was the one that got to stay.. just because the person you want to win gets kicked off doesnt mean to you get to cry racism...

Mara, you are truly an inspiration. All the people on here with the negative feedback can go to he&& because not one of them would have the balls to go on national tv and do what any of you did. You people should get a freakin life instead of coming on these blogs leaving negative comments about the contestants....didn't your mom teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all!!!!! I do agree that tonight was not your night to go Alicia's dancing was horrible and should have gotten 7's at best. Keep on with the weight loss and you already look amazing regardless of what anyone says, these people don't know you so they can't judge you. LOVE YA!!!!!!

Mara you was awesome. That fat white girl should have left. She was horrible and was never on beat. Can I get a black judge on the show the next time.

So sorry to see you go. Continue to live a healthier life for you. I was disappointed in your exit interview. My 10 yr old daughter loves you and I had a hard time explaining the language you used. we both understood your frustration but wish you hadn't let it reduce you so low. Be safe and be healthy.

Sorry Mara but I would almost think you are doing special favors for the judges, your performances are ok, but Shayla and Ruben are the real dancers on this show. You just seem to have the judges in your pocket

I have to disagree with Austin, because I see real dancing going on. Benefitting from good choreography with lots of content. You're looking wonderful, and congrats again on controlling the diabetes.

I think you did ok this week, I think last week was way better! I feel you should try harder on your technique and especially the weight loss. I'm a big girl too and believe me, it takes so much dedication to lose weight. You have done well so far, keep up the good work. It's good to see you persevere as you have said. Just imagine what you could do if you win the money! You could pay off debts, buy your mom a house as well as yourself, etc. I'm rooting for you to improve! I have to support my black sistas!

No offense but Trice out danced you . For the life of me I dont' know what the judges love affair is with you. I guess I can't let go of the negativity with your dance partner and still they keep you on. Your biggest competition is Shayla, Ruben and Pinky - if Pink loses weight along with her dancing you'll be gone.
