Biggest Loser Couples Become Biggest Loser Teams
Hi Everyone! Did you catch President Obama speaking to the Congress tonight? It didn’t affect our Biggest Loser show on the West Coast. Not sure if it affected you in the East.
Allison tells everyone that they will be playing the rest of the season as TWO teams–Black, Jillian’s team and Blue, Bob’s team. The challenge will decide where everyone ends up. First challenge of the night is a football drill. Each of the couples must pick who will compete. Each contestant must lay down flat in the mud, then lift themselves to a standing position, hit a button hanging from a string and then do it all over again. The first one to get to 100 wins. The competition quickly becomes a contest between the Blue Team’s Sione against the Green Team’s Tara. They are flip-flopping back and forth to the very last touch and Tara touches first. What this means is that the two members of the Green Team get to remain together on Jillian’s team. The team that finishes last would be separated one on Bob’s team and one on Jillian’s. Finishing in last place is Helen and because she is alone on the ranch, she is automatically switched to Jillian’s team. The rest of the contestants will have to choose which trainer by the toss of a coin.
The Blue Team with Bob as the trainer includes Ron, Mandi, Aubrey, Cathy, Kristen and Dane. The Black Team with Jillian as the trainer includes Mike, Sione, Filipe, Helen, Tara and Laura. Everyone needs to come to terms with the new teams and get to work. I don’t know why they are all so surprised by the change. They always do something like this halfway through Biggest Loser to shake things up. Bob was crying like a baby. They did a montage of memories with Bob and his team members. It was a bit “soap opera-ish”.
The first challenge of the two teams is the longest challenge in Biggest Loser history. Each team has one bike. For the next 24 hours, each team must continue to pedal on their bike. The team that puts the most miles on their bike wins. The winning team will get a three pound advantage at this week’s weigh in as well as each teammate getting their very own bike. The Black Team had a strategy of each member biking for 30 minutes and then resting for 2 1/2 hours. Each member of the Blue Team pedaled until they couldn’t pedal anymore. The Black Team seems to have a better strategy to me. When there is about 9 hours remaining, Mandi and the Blue Team ask everyone to stop riding. She says that everyone needs to rest so that they are ready for their last chance workout. Sione from the Black Team tells her he won’t quit. Good for him. Aubrey agrees with Sione and so they keep going and going and going. Blue team rode 264 miles and the Black Team rode 301.9 miles. The Black Team has a 3 pound advantage at the weigh-in. Tara from the Black Team rode the farthest…over 50 miles.
This week’s Biggest Loser is in two parts. Tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. is the conclusion. See you then!
Good Night! Bloggergal1
