Biggest Loser Final Four
Hi Everybody,
Biggest Loser begins with Mike and Ron talking (gloating?) about their positions on the ranch. Remember saying “Two against one..you lose”? Bob is bummed that Kristin is gone home.
The contestants take a trip down memory lane to their first days in the gym. Allison surprises the contestants and tells them that this is their last week on campus. After this week they will be going home. Everyone is a bit afraid.
How much the contestants have changed seems to be the theme of the night. The trainers have them do exercises that they did during their first week to compare their fitness. Helen, Tara and Mike fit into their “goal clothes”. They meet with the Doctor and he shows them how healthier they are now.
This weeks’ challenge is a tough one. Each contestant has to carry their weight through 16 hills (representing each week on campus) in a sand quarry. At each hill, they are able to drop the weight they lost during that week. The winner has the choice between $10,000 and a 1-pound advantage at the weigh-in. However, there’s a slight twist. Second place gets whatever prize first place does not take. This pretty much assures that the first place winner will take the 1 pound advantage because they won’t want to give an advantage to a competitor.
Mike and Filipe start out very strong. Tara is struggling along with Helen. Ron is last as usual. As Tara drops some of the weight she begins to catch up and soon passes Filipe (again?). Now she’s running through the quarry and once again she wins the challenge. Mike comes in second. It’s surprising to me that a boy that young can’t beat Tara in a competition. Mike goes back to help his dad. He’s such a great kid. Filipe sees them and also goes to help. Ron is one lucky dad.
At the weigh-in, Tara takes the 1-pound advantage. Mike gets $10,000. First to weigh-in this week is Ron. He lost 9 pounds this week. The amazing thing is Ron still weights 289 pounds after losing all that weight (141 pounds). Wow. Filipe lost 10 pounds this week. He’s lost 130 pounds since coming to Biggest Loser. Helen lost 7 pounds this week. She’s lost 103 pounds so far. Mike needs to lose more than 9 pounds to secure his place in the final four. He does it losing 11 pounds! Thank goodness because I love this kid. Tara lost 8 pounds this week, plus the 1 pound advantage keeps her above the yellow line. She’s lost 125 pounds so far. This puts Ron and Filipe below the yellow line.
At the eliminations, Mike, of course votes to eliminate Filipe. Helen is next and she votes to eliminate Filipe. She feels he is the bigger threat. I think she’s wrong because Ron has Mike’s back. He is eliminated and his speech is inspiring and brings tears to everyone.
Then Allison tells the remaining four that they will spend the next 30 days at home. They are on their own now!
So what happened to the segment where the contestants train their trainers? I have no idea! Probably didn’t make for good TV. Have a great week all! Stay tuned…Bloggergal1

They showed the training the trainer part (at least on the New York affiliate. The contestants really pushed them…Bob was being bleeped in almost every segment they showed; however, I was hoping they would put the trainers in fat suits first. I had made this suggestion to the Biggest Loser comment line but they said they could not accept show suggestions.
there was a segment on them training the trainer. It was funny because Bob kept saying Shut up Filipe
