Which Biggest Loser Contestant Does Take Out Take Out?

Good Morning!

Last night’s Biggest Loser started with Shay confronting Tracy about putting her on the scale to represent her team. She told her that she was very hurt that she didn’t honor Daniel’s request to put him on the scale instead. Tracy lied straight to her face and told her she thought she was going to have the higher weight loss. Shay didn’t fall for it though. I think that Tracy’s expressions make her look a bit “out there”. Her eyes get wide kind of like a doe stuck in headlights. I don’t know what she’s thinking half the time.

Tracy meets with the Doctor and he tells her that her muscle injury is worse not better so she cannot workout. This means no walking, no swimming, nothing. Once again Coach Mo has the weight of the team on his shoulders. I wonder if he’s regretting his choice of partners. Although I’m sure he was regretting his choice last week when Tracy pulled all her shenanigans.

Allison breaks the news to the contestants that the kitchen is locked up for the next seven days. She tells them it will teach them how to eat out when they leave the ranch. They have to figure out what are their best choices using menus. To help them Biggest Loser conveniently has a book that shows the contestant’s “swaps”. So in other words, they are using the show to promote their newest book. In the end, Biggest Loser is all about the $$$.

Next up is a challenge. Each team is shown three different chicken dinners. They have to choose which of the three dinners is the lowest in calories. The dinners are pretty similar so its not easy. The orange team, the pink team and the brown team guess correctly. To break the tie, each team must guess how many calories in the lowest calorie dinner. Pink team wins and what a win it is. They win a year’s supply of healthy food. I would love that wouldn’t you? Imagine not having to decide what to buy and not having to pay for it!

The contestants are very careful about what they order when getting their food, but the food doesn’t come the way they requested. For those of us who have ever ordered out, this sounds familiar. But, it was too much so I think it was done on purpose.

Jillian and Bob take the contestants out for dinner to teach them how chose what to eat. They go to a Mexican restaurant. I’m excited because I think Mexican food is very fattening. The chips and salsa arrive at the table and they ask for them to be removed. If something is on the table, you will lose control and eat it. A quick aside, did you catch Jillian wink at Daniel? Anyway, everyone orders their food and Jillian and Bob approve but I didn’t really see them eating anything exclusively Mexican. Papaya salad, ceasar salad, grilled shrimp, etc. were some of the choices. So, in other words, you can’t eat traditional Mexican food if you are trying to eat healthy and not gain weight. Also, once again there is a promo for Biggest Loser’s new calorie counting book. I do think it sounds like a great book to help you if you want to lose weight.

The challenge for immunity has the contestants holding on to a handlebar and hanging on as long as they can. The begin by laying on a platform. The platform moves until it goes from horizontal to vertical. So basically they are hanging by their arm strength. Liz is the first in the water and next is her partner Danny. Amanda drops out next followed quickly by Rudy. Rebecca drops taking the Pink team out of the challenge. Dina is out for the Blue Team. Coach Mo is next to fall. Shay drops but what a boost to her that she hung in there for 10 minutes. Wow! Julio is next to let go. The challenge has come down to Daniel for the orange team and Allen for the green team. Both are very determined to win. Daniel has age on his side, while Allen has arm strength. Allen is first to let go and this means that Daniel and Shay have immunity this week. It couldn’t happen to a better team!

At the last chance workout, Coach Mo is panicked and works out too hard and his back is giving out. He thinks about quitting but Bob talks to him and he heads right back into the gym pain and all. I just love Coach Mo, don’t you?

Time for the weigh-ins. Everybody is worried because they had to order food out every day. With immunity, the orange team is first to weigh-in. Daniel doesn’t lose any pounds and Shay lost 5 pounds. Bob and Jillian think Daniel did it on purpose because he knew he had immunity. If he had water weight, next week it would result in a higher weight loss. I can’t decide if he would do this or not. Other contestants in previous seasons have. The rest of the weight losses are: Allen 7 pounds, Abby 3 pounds, Rudy 11 pounds, Dina 5 pounds, Liz 3 pounds, Danny 8 pounds, Coach Mo 8 pounds, Tracy 4 pounds, Julio 4 pounds, Rebeeca 4 pounds and Amanda 5 pounds. So how did Tracy lose 4 pounds without being able to workout AND eating a complete menu, hmmm? Is my sister correct in thinking that Tracy is a “ringer”? She keeps losing weight even though she can’t do any exercise–we should all be so lucky! So below the yellow line is the brown team Liz and Danny and the black team Julio.

The elimination is going to be tough. All three contestants are such great people and good contestants. No matter who goes it is so sad. I don’t think I can say it enough times that I would love to see the Biggest Loser keep everyone on the ranch for the entire season. The orange team chooses to eliminate Julio. The blue team chooses Liz and Danny. The green team chooses to eliminate Julio. The purple team chooses to eliminate Julio and this is enough votes to eliminate him. I sure hope he can lose the weight at home because he deserves a long, healthy, happy life.

That’s it for today! Have a great Wednesday. Today is my 31st wedding anniversary. I remember when we were first married thinking how far away 30 years of marriage seemed and now we’re past that and heading towards 50! We are very blessed to have each other and such wonderful family and friends. Stay tuned…Bloggergal1
