Who was eliminated from Biggest Loser tonight?
Hi Everyone,
The second part of this week’s Biggest Loser starts with a challenge. Each team will test their knowledge on diet and health. The winning team members each win a vacation package and the team wins a 3 pound advantage at the weigh-in. The questions:
True or False: Switching from regular to diet cola will help you live longer. False, diet soda is filled with chemicals and is very bad for your body. Both teams get this one correct.
Which change in your diet will help you live longer…cutting fat or cutting calories? Cutting calories leads to a longer life. Actually, “good” fat is necessary in everyone’s diet. The Black Team gets this one correct.
Which exercise helps you live longer…push-ups or squats? Squats are better because working on your lower body strength helps later on when you are older. Lower body strength helps prevent falls which can lead to complications. Once again the Black Team is correct and they win the challenge.
Last chance workouts are a bit stressful for the contestants that have had to switch trainers. Everyone seems to be adjusting. Of course, both trainers push everyone to their limits.
This is the first weigh-in where team versus team. Remember the Black Team has a 3 pound advantage. The player on the losing team who has the highest percentage of weight loss will have immunity at the elimination.
Dane is the first contestant of the Blue Team to be weighed. He lost 13 pounds. He has lost 100 pounds on Biggest Loser so far! Aubrey lost 5 pounds. She was hoping for a bigger loss. Mandy lost 7 pounds. She is starting to look really good. Ron lost 5 pounds. His current weight is 349 pounds. He has a really hard time losing the weight because he can’t work out as hard as the others. Kristin lost 10 pounds. She’s thrilled. Cathy lost 14 pounds! Wow, that’s a huge weight loss for a woman in one week. The total weight loss of the Blue Team is 54 pounds with a total percentage of weight loss of 3.26%.
The Black Team has to lose more than 50 pounds as a team, but actually only 47 because of the 3 pound advantage to avoid the elimination room. Helen is first up and she lost 7 pounds. This puts her below 200 pounds at 198 pounds. Laura lost 8 pounds. Tara lost 11 pounds this week. Wow, another huge weight loss for one of the women. She’s lost 83 pounds so far this season. Mike lost 10 pounds. He is now under 300 pounds–good for him! I tear up when I see how proud his father is. Filipe lost 8 pounds. This brings the Black Team to a loss of 47 pounds. Last up is Sione. He needs to lose more than 3 pounds to keep the Black Team from eliminations. He lost 10 pounds! This keeps the Black Team safe even without the 3 pound advantage.
The Blue Team will have to eliminate one of its players. Kathy had the highest percentage of weight loss so she has immunity. Ron pushes to have Dane sent home. He uses the logic that he’s already lost 100 pounds and he’ll continue to lose at home. Why would the team send home the second biggest weight loser? Ron really wants to stay because he wants to support his son Mike. However his consistent low weight loss amounts along with his poor contributions to challenges should put a big bulls eye on his chest. Aubrey, who only lost 5 pounds this week isn’t even considered for elimination.
First to reveal is Aubrey. She votes to eliminate Kristin. I think she knows no one else will vote to eliminate Kristin and this keeps her out of the fray. However, how will Kristin and her mom Kathy react to this later on in the season? I know I’d be after Aubrey. Dane votes to eliminate Ron. Mandy votes to eliminate Ron, using the logic that he continually loses the least amount of weight. Ron votes to eliminate Dane. Kathy votes to eliminate Dane. Kristin votes to eliminate Dane. Dane is eliminated. I think this was a BIG mistake by the Blue Team. Dane would have helped them in challenges, Ron can’t do that. Dane consistently loses big weight amounts, Ron doesn’t. I suppose eliminating him eliminates a threat but that won’t help them if they continually end up in the elimination room!
That’s it for tonight. See you next week…Bloggergal1
