Biggest Loser Returns to Couples
Hi!
Today’s show brings the “at home” people back to the ranch. Each of the six contestants who worked out alone at home get weighed. First up is Shannon (Pink Team). She lost 15 pounds in a month. Shannon didn’t think that was very much but the trainers explained to her that losing that much from home was great. Laura (Green Team) lost 7 pounds. Of course she was all upset too. Cathy (Purple Team) lost 8 pounds. Cathy was the first to be happy with how much she lost. Aubrey (Yellow Team) lost 2 pounds. Evidently, Aubrey was eating at home huh? Next up is Carla (Silver Team). She lost 20 pounds at home! Sione (Blue Team) lost 25 pounds giving them immunity.
After their first combined workout in over a month, we move on to the challenge. The challenge has each of the teams tied to a rope. The rope is wrapped around a pipe. The challenge is to unwrap enough rope to move forward and across the finish line. To do that you have to jump over the pipe, go under and repeat. The team who wins has a choice between $5,000 or a 2 pound advantage at the weigh-in. Joelle, as usual, is excited over the money. Carla can’t believe Joelle would consider the money over the pounds. This is neither here nor there because the Yellow Team wins. They choose the 2 pound advantage at the weigh-in.
Bob’s workout gets interesting when Bob has Sione jump on Shannon’s back and she carries him across the gym. Wow!
Next is the weigh-ins. Blue Team lost 11 pounds. They have immunity so they will be remaining on the ranch. The Yellow Team lost 16 pounds combined, plus the extra two pounds. Next up is the Silver Team. Carla lost 9 pounds and Joelle lost 0. Joelle is just not giving enough to this competition. I feel so sorry for Carla. The Black Team lost 20 pounds. As a team they have lost a total of 140 pounds so far! The Green Team lost a total of 25 pounds this week. Good for them! The Brown Team lost 13 pounds. They were very disappointed with themselves. The Pink Team lost a total of 18 pounds–9 each. This puts the Silver Team below the yellow line. Last team to be weighed is the Purple Team. Together they lost 16 pounds. This puts the Brown Team below the yellow line.
Before the vote, the contestants confront Joelle. They ask her if she wants to be there. As usual, she shuts herself off. She keeps saying that she works out hard, etc., but who is she fooling but herself? As one of the contestant’s states “Joelle opens her mouth and it’s like she’s not even on this planet. The light switch is off and it’s the same old song and dance every week. People get sick of it.” So sad for Carla.
Even as the teams vote against Joelle, she still is insisting that she’s worked hard (sigh). Every team says that the vote is against Joelle and not against Carla. After the first four votes, the Silver Team is eliminated. It really is a shame that Carla was eliminated when she needs to lose the weight and she works so hard. Hopefully, she learned enough to continue at home.
Joelle and Carla didn’t speak for months after being eliminated. They show the two meeting up for the first time. Joelle still hasn’t changed. Everything is about Joelle. The friendship is over. We’ll see what happens to them at the finale.
Next week, Biggest Loser celebrates its 100th episode. Stay tuned…Bloggergal1
