A Day Late and a Loser Short

Ok, Biggest Loser recap. I know this is a day late...

This week, the trainers were included in the temptation as well as the challenge. Each trainer was shown a table full of cupcakes, with 1 being a healthy cupcake. If they chose to eat the right cupcake they would have won more time to complete the challenge. All the trainers chose the high road and did not give in to the temptaion. Hindsight is 20/20, and the way Bob was eyeing up those cupcakes, I think he wishes he would have given it a go...

So the challenge was that each team had to negotiate a time in which they thought they could run down a mountain, pick up their team's flag, and get it back up the mountain. With this wager going on, each team could keep lowering the time with which they thought they could complete the challenge - until another team dared them to do so. The black team had a time of 5min 30sec to complete the challenge. Hollie took a dive on the way down, and with seconds left to make it up, they just missed their time. Since the red team challenged them, they had to beat that time. Well clearly they beat the time, leaving the blue team wondering why the hell they didn't at least try to compete in the first place.

Pretty Allison Sweeney wouldn't tell the red team what they won until the weigh-in.

Ok, weigh-in time. Red team learns they won immunity, which is good since the entire team lost like no weight. I think it was a total of like 9 pounds over 4 people, with a few only losing 1 pound. On the flip side, the black team lost a ton of weight, so crazy Jillian must be doing something right. Now its down to the blue... They put up decent numbers but can't lose enough weight to beat the black team. So back to elimination they go.

Funny little twist though.... Kae the smallest of the blue team, but lost the most weight, 6 pounds, and is down to 191. Since she was the biggest loser for her team, she can't be eliminated. I bet the blue team is kicking themselves for getting rid of Gerry last week. See the whole point is to lose a lot of weight each week. If you don't have a lot to lose, then you aren't going to win the weigh in, and you'll have to keep eliminating people. They should have dropped Kae last week since she has the least to lose, and then maybe this week they wouldn't be facing elimination. But whatever. They got rid of Patty, which I guess is fine. It would have been her or Nicole. Unfortunately it's harder for the ladies to lose the same volume of weight as the men, and they are easier to pick off from the beginning.

Early predictions - The brothers on the black team seem like they'll hang around. If Black goes to elimination, I think Hollie will be the first to go. She is too emotional and can't handle the pressure. I like David and Amy on the Red team, and Neil and Ryan on the Blue team.

Until next week....

.... hmm, getting kinda hungry.
