Purple Kelly and NaOnka up and quit the show. If you read Jeff Probst blog post here you will get a better explanation or at least his take on their decision and behind the scenes I bet he gave them more than an earful. I can only imagine some of the things he might have said to them. Jeff appears to be a Simon Cowell of sorts but does tone it down in front of a live audience so to speak.
Have you ever quit anything and totally regretted it every since? I have quit the football team in high school one year, I didn't like the crazy eye coach as we called him. He had one eye that seemed to look in several different directions at any given time while the other remained stationary like a normal eye. Ole crazy eye we called him amongst a few other choice words. I did regret it but for only a short time. You see life gives us this ability to make choices. Granted some of the ones we make aren't always that healthy for us and some are downright inappropriate but we still have that ability to decide. It gives us or for me I say "I give myself permission" to change my mind.
I have quit different jobs I liked to take on ones I thought I'd not only like but the pay was better. I've also walked away from a six figure a year job to take on a different challenge that I thought would not only be rewarding but would make me happier than what material things and financial gain I was getting from the six figures. And I was but I realized the money was nice too but I've given more money away than I have ever saved for myself. But would I walk away from an opportunity to win $1,000,000.00. That's one million dollars folks. It's the opportunity to make some life changing decisions, to help someone around you, to invest or blow, whatever you choose to do with it if you won. NaOnka and Purple Kelly did just that.

What's your take on it? How do you think it affected the show and is it fair that they were allowed to walk away knowing that two potential contestants who tried out during the casting calls could have been in their place and possibly even been one of the winners. Or is it OK for them to make these kind of decisions in their own life knowing that they have to live with it, not you and I. They are the ones who have to look at there family and friends each day and still smile or frown depending on how they themselves are dealing with it.
And who do you think has the best chance at winning now? The remaining contestants are
- Chase
- Fabio
- Jane
- Sash
- Benry
- Dan
- Holly
