Biggest Loser Eliminates Two

November 11, 2009 · Filed Under Episode Recaps 

Allison starts the show by telling the contestants that two of them will go home this week. The person with the lowest percentage of weight loss this week will be below the RED line and will be automatically eliminated. Then a second person will be eliminated by contestant vote.

The first challenge will give a one pound advantage. Everyone is very anxious to win. All they have to do is take tennis balls off a board and fill a container that’s across the way. There are fifty tennis balls all together. The person with the most stamina will win this thing. Liz and Amanda can’t play due to medical reasons. It quickly becomes a competition between Rebecca and Allen with Rudy pretty close behind. Allen wins by only a second or two.

Jillian and Bob are very concerned that Shay will end up below the red line this week and be automatically eliminated. They are going to try to do everything in their power to make sure that doesn’t happen. Jillian especially doesn’t think that Shay will succeed if she leaves the ranch. Jillian works her hard and Shay is totally determined.

The challenge for immunity involves jumping through your opponents hoop. After 100 times, that player is out. Shay and Rudy end up having a fight. Rudy seemed to make an agreement with Shay at the beginning of the challenge, but in the end Rudy stuck with Danny and eliminated Shay. Rudy wins the competition and won’t be eliminated this week.

The alliances have come down to old against young. Liz, Allen, Danny and Rudy are team members against Shay, Daniel, Rebecca and Amanda. The young ones sneak gym equipment up to Shay’s room so that they can workout during the evening and trick the older contestants. Sneak the gym equipment into Shay’s room? Now how in the world did they do that?

Bob takes the contestants to a trapeze workout. At first, I thought it didn’t look like it would provide much of a workout but I was wrong. After Bob’s last chance workout, Jillian takes a shot at the contestants. As usual, she uses her gentle, training methods! LOL

Weigh-in time. Everyone is worried about that red line. Someone is out of there in a few minutes! Rudy, with immunity lost 8 pounds this week. Shay is up next. The record for a female to lose 100 pounds on Biggest Loser is 12 weeks. If Shay loses 17 pounds this week, she will beat that record by losing 100 pounds in only 9 weeks. She doesn’t think she can do it, but she loses exactly 17 pounds! Good for her. Amanda lost 5 pounds this week. She’s worried if it’s good enough to keep her above the red and the yellow lines. Rebecca lost 10 pounds. Danny is next. He lost 17 pounds! I love Danny. He has such a good personality and he’s such a good family man. He is definitely safe this week. Allen lost 10 pounds this week. It’s not enough to keep him safe yet, but Rebecca is now safe and Amanda is below the yellow line. Liz needs a big number to remain on the ranch. She lost 12 pounds. I didn’t think she could have done that! I was shocked. This keeps her safe, but puts Shay below the yellow line. That really stinks. She did so well this week, this game could be so unfair. Daniel is last. It comes down to either him or Amanda falling below the red line. If he loses more than 6 pounds, Amanda goes home immediately. He only lost five pounds and this puts him below the red line. Daniel is a great kid. My tears are flowing. I like Amanda but I would have rather seen her leave than Daniel.

So Daniel going home leaves Amanda and Shay below the yellow line. To me, this is a no-brainer. Amanda has to be voted off. But I guess we’ll see in the next few minutes. Rebecca voted to eliminate Shay because Amanda was her partner throughout this game. Allen votes to eliminate Shay. Danny votes to eliminate Amanda. Liz votes to eliminate Amanda. This makes it two votes for Shay and two votes for Amanda. It’s up to Rudy. He votes to eliminate Shay. I didn’t agree with this vote at all. Of course, I’m looking at it from a weight loss perspective and not a game perspective. I sure hope she can continue to lose weight after the show.

This was a very sad week for me to watch. I love both Daniel and Shay. I thought they deserved to be on the show. Oh well… Have a great week everyone…stay tuned…Bloggergal1

    I really don’t think people should be eliminated they are there to lose weight,and make their lives better. Its counter productive to send them home. The winner in the end gets the money anyway.
