Can this Better Boy and Beefmaster be saved?

Assuming the first two pics are one plant, and the last three are the other:

First plant: The leaves look like they've received some back splash, assuming only the bottom leaves look like this. If so, I'd recommend pruning those bottom leaves off. The blossoms should dry! They'll have visible fruit shortly.

Second plant: Looks like Early Blight... as far as recommendations I hesitate to give any for this, but you can do a search and decide what to do about that plant.

If i am right Blight will be on the trunk first,so cut this leaves off and 1 or 2 stems out, moving the plants around also.

Thanks everybody.

I was trying to get by "treatment free", in a new area bucket garden.

I suppose I'll treat for blight.

If so, should I treat all my plants, or only the affected ones?

Definitely looks like a fungal infection. Early blight or Septoria Leaf Spot maybe if the affected area is just the leaves.
Like FILMNET asked....is there any sign on the trunk? Or just the leaves?
I've had good results in treating Septoria with Soap-Shield copper based fungicide from Gardens Alive!
Regardless, definitely remove all visibly infected branches and dispose of them in a garbage bag before treating, they are producing new spores that will spread to upper branches or other plants if left in the garden. And treat all the tomato plants, if you can't see any visible signs of infection doesn't mean that they don't already have spores on the leaves.

Looks like just the leaves.
I removed most if the "infected" ones.
