Biggest Loser’s Contestants Try To Eat Their Way to A Golden Ticket?
Hi,
This show starts with the new conflict developing between Mike/Ron and Filipe/Sione. Sides are developing and I say it’s about time! This season’s Biggest Loser has just been filled with too much sugar!
Allison explains this week’s Temptation Challenge. There are 100 covered trays. Most of the trays hold fattening treats. But some treats hold Extra gum and cash tickets. One tray holds a Golden Ticket. The player that finds this holds the sole vote at elimination tonight. The players have to pick a tray and if there is an unhealthy snack underneath, they must eat it. Ron finds Extra gum and a $500 cash ticket. Ron once again finds Extra gum and a $1000 cash ticket. Laura finds Extra gum and $5000 cash ticket. Everyone else is eating and eating and eating. Kristin is smart enough to stop eating. She doesn’t feel the Golden Ticket is that important. Filipe finds $500 cash ticket. Finally, Laura gets the Golden Ticket. You can see the fear on everyone else’s face, except for Tara of course. After all is said and done, the group ate more than 18,000 calories combined. That’s a lot of calories!
Laura starts planning and tells Tara she should fall below the yellow line. This way Laura votes off the other contestant and no one will be surprised. Tara isn’t sure this is the way to go. She doesn’t like the idea of NOT losing weight on purpose. I don’t blame her. This definitely could backfire on her.
When the contestants tell Bob and Jillian about how many calories they ate, they were in shock and extremely disappointed. The next shocker was when the contestants told Bob and Jillian what the vote was at the elimination. Bob now understands why everyone kept eating at the challenge. The contestants’ bodies show them what happens when you eat “crap”. They are lethargic and feel lousy. Bob and Jillian work them out until they regret eating one extra calorie.
Jillian takes her group to Subway. Jerry and Coleen from season six are there. They give tips on how to order. Don’t order mayo or oil, mustard and vinegar are okay. At least at Subway, you have some control about how many calories you consume.
Today’s challenge is at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Guys will play against gals. They will race each other up and down the stadium stairs–all 2,156 of them! Today’s winner will win a two week trip for 4 at Fitness Ranch and Spa in Saint George, Utah. Tara and Sione are ahead of the packs and face off for the win. Sione wants to beat Tara. She’s beat him time and time again in competitons. They are going head to head, but then Sione makes a mistake and has to go back. This gives Tara the lead. Sione is really pushing to catch up to her. Tara has her flag first and once again she beats Sione. She’s unbeatable
Fast forward through the last chance workouts to the weigh-ins. Laura has sole control of who is eliminated as long as she doesn’t fall below the yellow line. Mike is up first. He has a chance to break the record for the most pounds lost on campus. He loses 5 pounds. Not enough to break the record. This is the smallest amount he’s ever lost on the show. He’s not happy but I think he’s being too hard on himself. Ron is next with a 9 pound weight loss. He’s thrilled but he doesn’t like that he’s above his son on the percentage chart. Tara is next. Everyone is wondering if she is going to throw the weigh-in. She loses 3 pounds. Laura turns to Jillian and tells her she didn’t do it on purpose. But everyone thinks she did. Kristin lost 6 pounds. Helen lost 2 pounds. The temptation challenge is taking its toll on the contestants. This puts her and Tara in danger of being below the yellow line. Filipe lost 7 pounds. This keeps him safe. Sione only lost 4 pounds and this puts him below the yellow line. Laura is last to weigh-in. She loses 8 pounds and is safe but now she needs to choose who goes home…Helen or Sione. They are both her friends and she’s upset at having to choose. Will this Golden Ticket end up being her downfall?
Only Helen, Sione and Laura go to the elimination room. Laura says that the Golden Ticket ended up being a burden rather than a good thing. Laura says she made the decision not on game play but on what is best for her. She says that Helen has been there for her since the beginning and she needs her to remain, so she votes off Sione. I know this probably makes a bunch of you happy but I liked Sione more than I like Helen. Helen doesn’t seem as serious about life changes as Sione is. He’s done really well with his weight loss though–so I’m not worried about him. His reunion with his family was uplifting. He really looks amazing. Sione decides to change careers and become a fitness trainer. Good for him!
Next week’s Biggest Loser is the makeover show. This is always a fun one. I won’t be around though. I’m taking my son to visit colleges. So taking my place is BBBlogger from our sister site Big Brother Blog. See you in a week. Have a Happy Easter. Bloggergal1
