Biggest Loser’s Lose the Gym
Hi Everyone,
It’s Wednesday morning and I’m watching my DVR’d Biggest Loser show. I watched American Idol last night. Check out our American Idol blog.
The show starts with Allison telling the teams that they have a challenge. The two teams who win the challenge will have access to the gym but the other teams will have to work out all week outside. Each team has to run up a huge hill, pick a key from a board, bring it back down, try it in a lock. If it opens, you are one of the teams that get to use the gym. If not…try again and again and again.
Ron with his bad knees slowly makes his way up and down the hill (mountain?). All the other teams were willing to slow down to help him. It was very uplifting to watch. The contestants on this year’s show are so opposite those from last season, aren’t they?
Tara pushes to the point where she’s vomiting everywhere. Eww! Shannon on her sixth trip opens the lock giving her and her mom access to the gym for the week. Only one more key left! Mike gets it on his seventh trip. I’m so happy for him and his dad–they are a very special team.
When Jillian meets up with her team, she’s shocked that Blaine was eliminated. Bob told his team to vote Dane off. When he finds out that they did the opposite, he’s not at all happy.
Bob starts his workout outside. He uses benches as steps. Jillian clears out the living room and starts exercises in there. Bob has them press outside furniture as if they were weights. Jillian is doing exercise after exercise. Bob does tug-of-war exercises. Jillian and Tara face off. Tara is scared that she’s going to go home this week.
Next challenge involves rowing machines. If you row fast enough, your light turns green. If you fall behind and the light turns red, you are out. If one of the team is out–both are out. The team who wins gets immunity. The light goes from green to yellow when you are in trouble. Ron can’t do it and the brown team is the first to be eliminated. Aubrey’s light turns red and the yellow team is eliminated. The pink team is eliminated next followed by the purple team. Remaining are the blue team, the green team and the lone member of the black team. Blue team is eliminated. Its Laura and Tara against Dane. Laura goes into the red and this gives Dane immunity. See how quick the vote can turn against you? Laura can’t stop crying. She feels she let Tara down.
Bob takes his team to the beach for his last chance workout. Running on the sand, crab walking, and carrying huge logs are part of the torture. Jillian does whatever she can think of including boxing, running, old-fashioned leg lifts and hopping. Yes, I said hopping.
Weigh in time! First up is Dane with immunity. He lost 4 pounds this week. Looks like immunity is going to come in handy. Purple team is next up Cathy only loses 1 pound but her daughter Kristin lost 12 pounds. The blue team lost 16 pounds this week. Next up is the green team. This is a biggie because Tara didn’t have a good week. But they pull it off with a weight loss of 15 pounds! The yellow team lost 12 pounds. This keeps them safe. The pink team lost 9 pounds putting them in danger of being eliminated. The brown team must lose more than 13 pounds to remain safe. They lose a total of 17 pounds. Mike lost 10 and Ron lost 7. Thank goodness! They are such an inspiration! This means one of the pink team will be eliminated this week.
Helen and Shannon spoke to the group. Helen asks that Shannon go home and she stay. The group doesn’t agree. They think Shannon should stay. Shannon is sacrificing herself for her mom Helen. The green group honors the decision of the pink team and votes Shannon off. The blue team does the same. The brown team votes to send Shannon home. The purple team votes Shannon off and this eliminates her.
See you next week! Bloggergal1
