Biggest Loser Heads Toward the Finish Line

December 10, 2008 · Filed Under Episode Recaps 

Hi Everybody!

Last night’s Biggest Loser started by showing Michelle missing her mom.  I miss her too!  In the meanwhile, the Blue team were jumping up and down on the bed like a bunch of babies.  Does production stage these silly scenes? 

Next up are the team meetings with their trainers.  Jillian consoles and encourages Michelle.  Bob is concerned that Vicky is too concentrated on the game and not learning anything about staying healthy and in shape.  That’s understandable–her attitude is terrible.

Bob meets with his team in the kitchen to give some more healthy eating tips.  Vicky admits that her children eat NO vegetables and that she feeds them mostly “take out” food.  She doesn’t even know if her children know what broccoli is.  Hmm.

Allison brings the final four a mystery box.  When they open it, it’s filled with their clothes from the beginning of the season.  The contestants try on some of the items showing how much weight they’ve lost and then decide to burn them.  As they watch the clothes burn, they make a vow to never gain back the weight. 

Next up is the final four’s challenge.  It takes place on a race car track.  Each contestant must put on weight bands that equal the amount of weight they lost on each week’s show.  After making it around the track for a lap, they are able to remove the amount of weight they lost each week.  So, in other words, if Heba lost 10 pounds the first week, she is able to remove a weight band that weights 10 pounds.  The prize is Biggest Loser planned meals until the finale and also $10,000.  Ed takes an early lead and Michelle is right behind him.  However, she never catches him and he wins pretty easily.  Not a very exciting challenge.

Since we are down to the final four, each one gets to reminisce about their journey on the Biggest Loser Families.  It is amazing to see how much they’ve changed both physically and emotionally.  Of course there are lots and lots of tears.

The last chance workouts are so different now than they were at the beginning, aren’t they?  Everyone works their butts off because they see the changes in themselves and they know how important it is not to fall below that yellow line.

Weigh-ins:  Vicky lost 6 pounds.  Heba lost 7 pounds.  Ed GAINS 2 pounds.  Wow, how the heck did that happen?  Michelle lost 9 pounds.  I was so happy for her!  This puts Heba and Ed below the yellow line.  As we all knew, Allison tells the contestants that America will decide who is eliminated.  Heba and Ed tape messages saying why they should be in the final three.  Now its up to us to decide.

After another 15 minutes of memories, the final four pack up and head for home.  This way too long show comes to a close.  Next week’s finale will be live.  Stay tuned…Bloggergal1

    My only regret is that I will not get the chance to vote Vicky out of the finals. While Vicky is truly America’s most hated biggest loser contestant ever (and with good reason), I hope everyone remembers Heba’s fiaso with trashing Philip for being a player of the “game.” How hypocritical of her. She and her crew of Ed, Brady and Vicky had only one motivation to lose weight and it was to stay above the yellow line to send other people home for personal reasons. For a check of their character, just look at what Vicky did to Amy, right after Amy saved her from elimination. I hate to be this way, but I will take great comfort watching those four gain their weight back. I hope TBL chooses contestants more like Erik, Allie and other past quality players next go around. I lost some of my appreciation and “feel good feelings” about the show as I watched hateful people destroy what the show is supposed to be about this year. The bumer sticker “mean people suck” really applies to thoe four. Not to worry, life irons out wrinkles like those people. Go Michelle…
