Does anyone else think the blue team just shot themselves in the foot?

I understand the loyalty the contestants have for the teammates they have been with from the beginning. I also understand having sympathy for Ron as he really needs the help. But Ron can't put up the percentages in weight loss each week that Dane could. He's really gonna hurt the team as a whole and I think only Mandi really understood that. Aubrey decission is really gonna hurt her and her sister too, because now the old blue team outnumber the new members and if they do end up under the line it's easy to pick off one of them.
So anyone else see a big flaw in their strategy? How big of a happy dance is Jillian going to do?

I agree. I think the Blue team made a mistake. If they wanted to keep Ron around because he needs to be there the most for his health fine, but they should have gotten rid of someone besides Dane. It's ashamed that each year the strongest contenders always get sent home because of one bad week. Poor Dane didn't even have a chance to work on building an alliance with his new blue team before getting the boot. I'm sure Jillian will be sad that Dane is gone personally because she trained him and helped him acheive great success. But of course now that he is on Bob's team she will be happy the biggest threat is gone. Ron has continually been on the bottom and it was up to his son to keep him around in previous weeks. Now that they are seperated I really don't think he will last too much longer. He wants to be there but because of his injuries he has little chance of competing with everyone else that can do the full workouts.

It will be interesting to see Bob's reaction to Ron still being there. I know he has an attatchment to Ron because he was with him from the beginning, but Bob also has to see the big picture that Ron's low weight loses is going to hurt his team on the whole.
