I'm not sure how I feel about the eliminations...well...I mean, I understand both, but I guess I just wasn't a huge fan of Ivelisse going. I thought she showed a lot of grit, fighting through the injury, but I understand her leaving. If she's hurt and can't give her full 100% because of it, it made sense to let her go.
As for Eric...I understand that one completely. He's shown some flashes, like Austin said, but he just didn't have it yet, and he wasn't in shape, and I was shocked he lasted as long as he did.
