Biggest Loser Cliffhanger
Hello Everyone,
Sorry my update is so late. I was carrying my laptop this morning, tripped and
dropped it. It’s out of commission
Dividing the teams into Black and Blue has started the players making alliances.
Of course those players who were together from the beginning are sticking close
together, for instance Ron, Kristen and Cathy. This worries some of the others.
Chef Rocco is back this week. He shows the contestants how fattening fast food is.
To emphasize how much fat he’s talking about he shows the actual fat (Crisco?)
amounts. I have to admit its frightening.
Next the contestants have a cooking challenge. Both teams have to make healthy
versions of typical fast foods: a healthy burger, a healthy burrito/Mexican entree
and a healthy pizza. They will be judged on taste and calorie content. They only
have 30 minutes to complete this. The winning team wins a dinner cooked by Chef
Rocco. Also, someone on the winning team will be chosen at random to receive an
extra vote in this week’s elimination. Chef Rocco is the judge and all the
contestants were really nervous to have him judge. The Blue Team’s pizza was
better than the Black Team’s. The burrito challenge is won by the Black Team. The
burger challenge also goes to the Black Team. The Black Team wins the challenge
and Laura wins the extra vote. Chef Rocco cooks and teaches the Black Team how to
make a great meal.
Bob takes his team off campus to a 24 Hour Fitness to try out a new exercise class
based on shadow boxing. Guest star Sugar Ray Leonard surprises the team. He tells
them how important the mind is when it comes to training and health.
Dr. H. stops by to see some of the contestants while they are working in the gym.
He congratulates Mike and Tara. Mike has lost 134 pounds of fat in three months!
Tara has had a 29 percent weight loss. That’s never been done on the Biggest
Loser. He talks to Mandi and tells her that she is off the charts on her fitness
test. Ron is finally lowering his blood sugar levels and getting healthier.
The next challenge involves the Los Angeles food bank. The teams have to take the
donated food, assemble it into a kit and then take those kits across the warehouse
and load them on to the trucks. Each team has to make 100 kits and load those kits
plus an extra 50 kits. The winning team gets a year supply of groceries,they will
be featured in a Cheerio advertising campaign and also receive letters from home.
The Black Team sits Laura out to even out the teams. The Black Team wins. It’s
all Black Team this show! Highlighting volunteerism was a great addition to this
challenge. The contestants have loaded enough food to feed over 1,000 people for one day.
The Blue Team takes their loss hard and they feel like the Black Team is showing
off with their wins. The letters from home section of the show was typical–lots
of crying and happiness. Then, Mike does an amazing thing. He gives Aubrey the year’s
supply of groceries because she has five kids. It made me feel so good to see a
college-age boy do something so selfless. I hope my sons are growing up the same
way.
Fast forward through the last chance workouts. Sorry but time is getting away from
me today.
Allison announces there is a chance for everyone to get immunity. If they all lose
a combined total of over 77 pounds no one goes home. That’s seven pounds per
contestant. But if they don’t, one person from each team will be going home. Plus
for every pound each contestant loses, Biggest Loser will donate 100 pounds of food
to Feed America.
First up tonight is Helen with a loss of 5 pounds. Mandi lost 8 pounds. Sione
lost 3 pounds. Aubrey lost 8 pounds. Laura lost 7 pounds. Ron lost 6 pounds.
Tara lost 11 pounds. She has amazing weight loss numbers every week. Kristen lost
9 pounds. With three people left to weigh in they must lose 30 pounds between
them. Next up is Filipe. He lost 8 pounds. Cathy lost 3 pounds. Mike has to
lose 10 pounds or more for everyone to have immunity. Lots of stress on such a
young guy. He walks up to the scale and my DVR stops. What? How can that be?
What happened at the end? So I did what any Google-loving gal would do–I searched
for my answer. Evidently, what happened is that NBC didn’t say. They left the
show with a cliffhanger and we have to wait until NEXT week to find out. Since my
DVR stopped I was kind of relieved I didn’t miss the end but what’s up with that?
Isn’t it bad enough that we sit and watch through two looonnnngggg hours every week
without them making us wait a week?
So I guess that’s it for today…stay tuned (no choice huh?) Bloggergal1
