Lisa and Frado get an hour to talk to the others. Frado tells them that he never thought he'd be below the yellow line. He came to campus weighing 367 pounds and being sick with diabetes and myriad other ailments. This is one of the best things that happened to him, he says, and he wants to finish with the others, even though he loves Lisa. He pleads to stay, but says that if they vote him out he won't have hard feelings. Lisa has struggled in the past with wanting to stay in the competition, but now says that she does want to be there and finish. Regardless of what happens, however, she's glad that she's built friendships and gone on this journey with the others. She cries, and then she and Frado leave the others alone to deliberate.
Voting goes relatively quickly, and according to expectations. Brendan of course votes to oust Lisa, even though he commends the changes she's made, particularly in the past two weeks. Elizabeth notes that Frado has had her back since day one, and she needs to repay that loyalty. Thus, she's also voted for Lisa. Mark is next, and says that one of the people up for elimination is a threat to him, but he looks forward to the challenge. He votes for Lisa. With that, Lisa has been eliminated. She cries, and says this has been one of the hardest things, if not the hardest thing, that she's ever been through. She's leaving a different person, and though it's been a challenge she regrets nothing. She'll miss the people, and appreciates the experience. Frado is happy that Lisa stayed and realized that she's worth it, and that she's found much-needed peace. Lisa hugs everyone goodbye without bitter feelings.
When Lisa arrived at the ranch, she weighed 288 pounds and was digging her own grave. She assures us that won't happen anymore. It's been the hardest, most wonderful eye-opening experience, and she'll forever be grateful. Lisa says that her kids can look up to her now and be proud. She's heading home with a smile, because she's accomplished what she set out to do, and is excited for her friends and family to see her. She's living her life instead of suffering it.
