Biggest Loser Visits Washington DC
Hi Everybody,
This week’s Biggest Loser starts with Allison telling the contestants that they will take a trip to Washington DC to promote health, fitness and weight loss. At the arrival in Washington, Allison breaks the news that everyone is now playing individually. The first challenge is to get as many people as they can to come to a fitness challenge. Each contestant has to walk around the streets of Washington and convince people to show up that evening for a workout. In the beginning, it looks like the popularity of Daniel and Amanda will help them, but then Allen uses his “ace in the hole” and goes to the fire station and recruits his fellow firemen. Unexpectedly, in the end, Liz manages to come up with one extra person that Allen and wins the challenge.
Next the contestants go to the Capital to talk to a couple of senators about ways to help America get healthier. It just so happens that one of the senators, Senator Casey was from my home state of Pennsylvania. The other senator was from New York. They listen, but I’m wondering what two senators can do to change what has become a sad way of life in our country.
The immunity challenge is divided up into four parts. The first part is jogging/running/walking one mile. The first six to complete this move on to the second part. Since Liz won the fitness challenge, she has a “pass card” that she can use. She decides to hold it for a later part of the competition. Finishing in the top six are Amanda, Daniel, Liz, Rudy, Allen and Rebecca. The second part of the challenge is walking up and down steps, scooping up pennies and placing them in a cylinder. The first four to finish will go on to part three. Liz decides to use her pass card on this one. This automatically gives her a place in the third part of the competition. The top three finishers are Rebecca, Daniel, and Rudy. The third part of the competition is balancing on a small bar while holding a pilates ball over their heads. Daniel drops out first. Second to lose her balance is Liz. Rebecca and Rudy move on to the final competition. This is a pretty straight forward challenge. In front of them is a stair-step and the first one to take 206 steps wins. The number 206 is how many contestants have been on Biggest Loser so far. Rebecca, not surprisingly, beats Rudy soundly. This gives Rebecca immunity for the week.
Next the contestants meet with the White House chefs to prepare a salad from the fresh ingredients that are grown in the White House garden. Is it me, or is that the prettiest, healthiest vegetable garden you ever saw? My veggies are always…well never mind
I skipped over the last chance workout–sorry, I have so much going on I just don’t have enough time!
First to weigh-in, with immunity is Rebecca. She lost a respectable 4 pounds this week. Shay lost 9 pounds. This puts her under 400 pounds. Tracey lost 3 pounds. Uh-oh. Daniel lost 11 pounds. He’s close to losing over 200 pounds, can you imagine? Allen lost 9 pounds. Wow, that’s another huge weight loss. Danny lost 12 pounds this week. It’s looking like the contestants managed to stay in the zone even though they were traveling. Rudy lost 9 pounds this week. It’s looking bad for Tracey. Liz lost 3 pounds. This puts her below the yellow line. Amanda has to lose more than 3 pounds to stay above the yellow line. Are you holding your breath? She does it losing 7 pounds!!! This puts Tracey below the yellow line with Liz. Please make it be Tracey going home this week, please!
Amanda, Daniel, Danny and Rebecca vote off Tracey. Tracey is NOT the Biggest Loser, thank goodness. See you next week. Thanks for all the love and support! Bloggergal1
