“Biggest Loser”: Another 2 hour show?
What’s with all the two hour shows? Is this ever going to whittle down to one hour? Because this is seriously cutting in my “House” viewing schedule. Because of “Biggest Loser” and “Dancing with the Stars” I’m unable to watch the season premiere of “House” tonight and that makes me very sad indeed. Anyhow. Moving on…
Recaps!
Lets see, where were we? We start off with a sort of recap of all the seasons so far, which is strange but okay. But yeah, as they recap this season so far to date, I find the tears come to my eyes (again) so it works. I just want to see all these people do well, you know? So the red team is down two teammates and that puts them at a pretty big disadvantage. Anyhow, Alison gets the teams started off with a hefty temptation. Downstairs is a ton of food. And not healthy food either. Each person has to spend 4 minutes alone in that room with the food. The person who eats the most of that food, wins a “3 pound pass” to use at the next weigh in. Oooh, that’s just evil. And no one needs to know how much they ate so no accountability either. Daaaang. Tough one. Be strong, people!
Overall, they did really good. A nibble here, a nibble there. But most everyone walked away from the food. Surprisingly, the pizza was a huge draw to people. Neil, however, took it seriously and he started chowing down and packing in the food left and right. But he wanted it known that he wanted to win those three pounds FOR THE TEAM. Not for him, of course. Gah. Oh crap, then Patty thinks she needs to eat it for the team. This is not well, people. Blue team, you totally suck. So of course, it ended up being Patty as the biggest eater and Neil looked flabbergasted. Jerry was pissed, because everyone on the blue team apparently knew that Neil was the only one who should eat. I don’t think ANYONE should have eaten, but that’s just me. So everyone on blue team is yelling at each other. I’m with Kae, who thinks its stupid why they wanted that dumb pass in the first place. AMEN, SISTER. Patty felt bad, as she should. Bob worked them over but GOOD, trying to work off those extra calories.
Cut to Jillian working over the black team, making them sprint with heavy weights in their hands. Kim is also making her team sprint (albeit sans weights). Even the blue team gets in on the sprinting (with teammates on their backs!) Though whose bright idea it was for Jerry to ride on someone’s back, I have no idea. He fell off and got hurt but good. They’re all getting ready for the challenge. Jerry, obviously, has to sit out for the blue team. Instead of the three teams racing, there’s a fourth team they’re going to race against. The yellow team. Who are the yellow team? Three kids, a kindergartener, third grader and fourth grader. They have to beat the kid in each head, the Kindergarten Heat, 3rd Grade Heat and 4th Grade Heat. The reward is a call home. The 4th grader smoked them handily. They couldn’t even touch her. Phil beat the 3rd grader. The kindergartener won the last heat so the red team won the call home. So that’s the third challenge that the red team has won. Hopefully they’ll perform at the weigh in as well.
On the black team, Bill freaked out and yelled rather harshly at Isabeau who cried, of course. He apologized, thank goodness. Bad day or no, that’s not okay. But still, it’s the last chance workout and it’s time to kick it into high gear. Jillian works them HARD. Red team does the last chance workout as well, with Kim in her trademark camo pants. All the teams are working hard and all the trainers are obsessed with winning the weigh in. I’d like to see the red team do well this week.
So it’s time for the weigh in. Is it just me or do you think they probably shouldn’t play this “elephant stomping” music as the teams walk into the weigh in? Might be poor taste. Anyhow we get the usual talk up from Alison. This show definitely does NOT need to be two hours long. This is just goofy. I’m sure it’s 2 hours simply because there’s so many people. But I’m hoping for just one hour next week. Anyhow. The black team does decent. The blue team does atrociously. Even with the three pound pass (see?? it wasn’t worth it!). It’s down to the red team and they not only beat out the blue team, but they beat the BLACK team and won the weigh in. You go, guys! The blue team lost and they need to send a member packing. Patty is the biggest loser and is safe, otherwise I think she’d be going home.
So the team gets talking and apparently are thinking Jerry should go. Which is a little flawed logic if you ask me. Kae is another name that comes up and that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me either. She may be the smallest, but she’s lost a lot of weight so far and has a lot more to lose. Anyhow, the elimination is extremely emotional and there’s a lot of tears. Nicole gets one vote, Neil gets one vote, and Jerry gets three votes and goes home. Poor Jerry. Alison pretty much calls it like it is, saying Jerry is the team captain and has lost more weight than anyone else but he’s sent packing. Jerry is disappointed and says he doesn’t think the Biggest Loser will be on the blue team. Ouch.
So how does he do once he gets home? Well, let’s just say WOW. He looks BUFF. He’s lost a total of 88 pounds and he looks great. WOW. You go, Jerry. You show ‘em.
