Correct, but as people didn't want single person teams I put myself to the bottom to solve any issues.

There were no issues from my perspective.
I simply opened the topic of combining teams up for discussion while the challenge was still running because I could not remember when a team had gone down to a single member and not been combined into another team - especially considering that there was another team with a shortfall...
The topic was discussed and Korrie ruled that the original teams stood. It is her challenge - she makes the rules... Those are the rules. I have no argument with the rules being applied.
I do think that it is a shame that so many people abandoned the challenge.
I was trying to understand why so many people were dropping out and was becoming concerned in case people were doing the calculation and thinking that their team would be better off without them... It doesnt take brain of Britain to work out the numbers on both options...
You got an excellent score - a score that fully deserved to be part of a winning team. By the rules - you won.
I am very focused myself - so I know how focused you have been to have got your total of points.
In so many ways I think that all three teams won this challenge.
PLATINUM won because the calculation demonstrates that Steve's excellent score - once scaled - produced the largest total of points according to the rules. He is undeniably the winner of this challenge under these rules
VICTORY as a team produced the only person who lost more than 1% per week (Mands) - losing 10.91% over 10 weeks and the only person who lost more than their personal goal for weight loss (Tasha). These are both major achievements and ones that we all envy.
GOLD produced an excellent score and were the only team that truly did it as a team effort and ensured that every person worked hard throughout. We lost an amazing total of real pounds between us - I think 110 pounds - and each team set out to lose real pounds and not virtual "scaled" pounds... We know that every person who joined the GOLD team lost weight over those 10 weeks. No-one fell by the wayside.
Frankly - I am of the opinion that anyone that stuck with the challenge should feel like a winner for doing so.
