I think she will give the bracelet to Sharif if she goes home. He did give it to her and they came in as friends

I think Nathan and Bob haven't lost weight as they are now in Cairns in the middle of summer and it is humid, humid and hot! They will be retaining fluid in the heat and humidity. They should start to show a weight loss again, though wait til they get home, they'll drop that extra fluid in a flash!
Love to see Cam go home tonight…though it would be a shame as he won't lose it on the outside, though he may now have a chance with Shannon training him

There is no way Amanda is a size 18. She's kidding herself. Anyway it will be bye bye to Theresa tonight and the gold bracelet will be going to Tiff. My thoughts anyway.

It isn't decided by straight kg, it's decided as % of the starting weight (both biggest loser of the week and the team weigh in), ie losing 3 kg at 80kg is much better than 3kg at 120kg. Cam would have only just beaten Sharif, 0.1 less, but Cam's starting weight was 5.5kg less.

It's all based on percentages, not the raw weight loss. It's done that way to allow the lighter contestants a fighting chance. Since Sharif weighs more than Cam he has to lose much more than Cam to get a higher percentage of overall weight loss – 100 grams is not enough of a difference. :)
