Every team member for themselves!
Hi Everyone!
This week’s show started with a temptation. After this temptation, the competitors will be divided into two teams–blue and black. The winner of the temptation gets control and chooses the teams. The room was set up with a number of goodies. The winner of the temptation would be the one who eats the most calories. Heba tried to take control immediately by volunteering to eat a donut. She “said” she wanted to keep the teams the same. But not everyone trusted her. Philip wanted control so he ate two peanut butter cups. Amy and Shellay weren’t agreeing with Heba either, so Amy ate a brownie. But Heba ate two donuts. The donuts had the most calories so Heba won the temptation.
Heba divided the teams up as follows: Black Team: Renee, Coleen, Michelle, Philip, and Shellay. Blue Team: Vicky, Amy P., Heba, Amy C. and Brady. What this amounted to was her dividing up the family teams of Philip and Amy and Shellay and Amy. She says this was strategic but I think it was personal. She wanted to get rid of Philip from her team. We’ll see how this plays out for her in the future!
After the trainers met their “new” teams, Michelle and Jillian had a heart to heart. Personally, I think they should get a psychologist on the show. What makes Jillian an expert on relationships, etc.? But anyway, Michelle went through the whole guilt thing blah, blah, blah. Am I the only one that thinks Michelle needs to grow up and get over it? She’s 26 years old–time to tell Mommy and Daddy what she thinks and feels and live her OWN life!
On to tonight’s competition. As promised, this was the Biggest Loser’s longest challenge. The challenge is to walk up and down a hill taking pictures at each end. The kicker of this is that they need to do this for 14 hours! You get a point every time a member of your team takes a picture. If all the members of the team are in the same picture, the team receives an extra point. The Blue Team was behind the eight ball because they have Amy P. and she has bad knees. So they decided instead of having all their members walk together that they would send Brady on his own so he could (hopefully) get extra trips and extra points.
So it was hot and they were tired and they all get together and decide to take a break. I can’t believe they all went to bed! Shellay and Coleen got jittery and were lying around wondering if the other team was out on the hill. Well, this was much ado about nothing because they just sat there and then everyone went back on the hill together. Me? I would have been out on the hill! I have to admit they sure don’t seem to care about winning this game. They do know its a game, don’t they? The winner of the competition was the black team. This gave them a two pound advantage in the weigh in.
The next part is what has become a weekly thing–the Biggest Loser commercial. Bob’s team is all sitting around eating 10 calorie Jello cups. Bob sends for Cool Whip and tells the group how they can add the Cool Whip with only an additional 20 calories. Now run out and buy yourself some Jello and Cool Whip!
At the weigh in, Alison asks Michelle if she wants to stay in the game. Of course, she stays (ho-hum). The weight loss totals: Michelle lost 7 pounds. Renee lost 5 pounds. Phil lost 8 pounds. Coleen lost 5 pounds. Shellay lost 5 pounds. This gave the black team a total of 30 pounds plus the 2 pound advantage for a total of 32 pounds. Amy C. lost 9 pounds. Vicky lost 6 pounds. Brady lost 6 pounds. Amy P. lost 6 pounds. Heba lost 8 pounds giving the Blue Team the win.
The Black Team had to pick someone to go home. I thought it was perfectly obvious that their selection would be Shellay. She’s the weakest link! Oh wait…that’s a different show? Shellay does get eliminated and the video of her after her weight loss was great. She really looks awesome!
I have to admit, I think two hours is too long to watch the show. There seems to be a million commercials and the same things are said over and over and over. If they cut out the repetition, they can easily fit the show into an hour. There isn’t enough happening and frankly, I’m bored out of my mind! So what do you think?
Have a great week! Love Bloggergal1

I could not agree more. The show is tooooo long, because of all the commerical breaks, and the repeating everything each time they come back from a commercial. Love the show, but do get bored.
That’s why there are DVR’s. This show is really 30 minutes without all the repeats. I like it even though I can’t stand Heba. I don’t care who wins as long as it’s not her.
