Black team loses Blaine this week on Biggest Loser
Tonight’s show began with what Allison calls a “pop challenge”. Each contestant has to stand on a block on one foot. The last person standing wins. The prize is a visit with someone they love for 24 hours on the ranch. Ron is first off his block. Mike, his son, is second. Kristen is third off the block. Dave is next. Tara, after fooling around a bit posing on her block lands in the pool. Kathy drops next. Shannon falls off and knocks her mom Shannon off. Laura is next to step off. Sione is out. Eight minutes have gone by…four remaining….Filipe, Blaine, Aubrey and Mandi. Mandi asks Filipe to let her win and he steps off. Blaine gives up for Mandi and Aubrey steps off too. Mandi gets to see her husband.
Bob talks to the brown team about why they aren’t losing enough weight. He tells them that they need to eat MORE to lose weight. Bob knows that he has to focus on Mike because his dad Ron has a bad knee. The brown team has been below the yellow line two weeks in a row.
Jillian meets with her team and she isn’t thrilled to hear Mandi will spend 24 hours with her husband. She’s worried that he will undermine Mandi’s success. Mandi swears she won’t let him.
Bob changes it up a bit and does yoga with his team. I loved this part since I started this with my Nintendo Wii. He explains how yoga is a physical as well as a mental activity.
Jillian zeroes in on Laura. Jillian thinks Laura is saying all the right things but has no intensity behind it.
Next, Bob takes his team on a hike to Subway. They get there and Bob tells them grab a snack because we’re going to hike another 2 miles to a second Subway! He shows the contestants how to choose what to eat correctly. It was a five mile walk to and a five mile walk back from Subway.
The next challenge is a team effort. Each team has to hold a bar in the air. If the bar goes below a certain level, they are eliminated. The winners get immunity at the weigh-in. After 40 minutes, no team has been eliminated. After an hour, Allison tells the contestants that they have to pick one arm and not switch. Filipe and Sione, the blue team, lose focus for a second and are eliminated. After almost two hours, the brown team is eliminated. Next eliminated is the black team. After two hours, Allison tells the contestants they must now keep both hands on the bar. The pink team is eliminated. After three hours, the yellow team is eliminated. Remaining are the green team and the purple team. At midnight, after four hours, in only 38 degrees, both teams remain standing. I want the purple team to win because the green team has been dominating in competitions. The green team tries to make a deal by telling the purple team that if they let go they won’t vote against them if they fall below the yellow line. The purple team knows the green team is getting desperate. After 4 hours and 40 minutes the green team is eliminated.
Mandi is reunited with her husband. She is very surprised when there is a knock on the door and in walk her two sons. Biggest Loser tears…again!
More tears flow during Bob’s last chance workout. It was very moving to see how hard Mike is working to save the brown team and his dad Ron. Jillian knows that every one of her team has to have good numbers because her team won’t have the votes at the elimination. Aubrey loses it because she misses her family so much. It’s taking her focus off her goals. Mandi begs to spend her last hour with her family. Jillian is really upset because she knows Mandi hasn’t worked out and tomorrow is the weigh-in.
Weigh-in time! Only one team will fall below the yellow line this week and then one of the team will be voted off. The purple team, with immunity, lost a total of two pounds! Kristen gained two pounds. Lucky she has immunity, huh? The pink team lost a total of ten pounds. The green team lost 14 pounds. Tara lost 11 pounds this week–wow. The blue team lost 21 pounds. The black team lost 9 pounds. The yellow team lost 7 pounds. Mandi lost 6 while Aubrey only lost 1 pound. This still puts the black team in danger because the loss is done by percentage and not by pounds. Last up is the brown team, to avoid falling below the yellow line they have to have lost more than 9 pounds. They lose 18 pounds! Mike lost 13 and his dad Ron lost 5 pounds. This puts the black team below the yellow line and one of them will be voted off the ranch.
Blaine asks to be the one sent home. He wants Dane to remain on the ranch. Everyone is so sad to know that one of them has to leave. The pink team votes to send Dane home. The brown team votes to send Blaine home. Respecting Blaine’s wishes, the green team votes to send him home. The blue team votes to send Blaine home. The purple team voted for Blaine and he is sent home.
See you next week! Bloggergal1
