The Biggest Loser

On last week's The Biggest Loser, the red and blue teams came face to face with the secret black team.  Nobody was happy about it.  At the weigh-in, the black team ended up winning and the red team was forced to vote somebody out.  It came down between Amy and Lezlye but with a little campaigning from Amy, Lezlye was the one sent home.

Alison Sweeney drops a bomb on the contestants on tonight's episode.  The kitchen is full of food that provides temptation.  Each contestant must go in the room for four minutes and whoever eats the most will receive a three pound pass for the next weigh-in.  The teammates will never know how much food each person consumed.  Jez is the first to give in and eat a piece of pizza followed by Neil, who eats everything in sight but says it's all for his team. Neil gave his team the impression that he did not eat so Patty decides to eat everything she can in the four minutes.  

Alison announces that the biggest eater was Patty who consumed over 1900 calories.  Neil was shocked!  Jerry was very mad that Patty had broken the rule the blue team made, stating that nobody would touch food except for Neil.  The red team tells Kim that no one gave in to temptation and she is, of course, proud of them.  The blue team is not so harmonious.  Bob takes Neil's side and everyone gangs up on Patty.  Kae breaks down, worried that now, the blue team will have to go to elimination.  Patty apologizes and now, they're going to have work extra hard to win the next weigh-in.

At the challenge, everyone finds out they'll be competing against a mysterious yellow team.  When Alison described the team as "unpredictable" and ones who "don't like to lose", I thought only one thing: kids.  I was right.  Three grammar school kids come forward to take on the contestants in a race in three heats, kindergarten, third grade, and fourth grade.  The winning team will get to call home.

In the fourth grade heat, the fourth grader wins by a long shot.  In the third grade heat, Phil pulls off a win for the red team.  In the kindergarten heat, the kindergarten student easily wins which means the red team has won their reward and get to call home.  The phone call means the most to Amy, who has been desperately missing her two young girls, but is hard on everyone who has loved ones missing them.

When Jillian demands that the twins get downstairs or the black team will have to work out for two hours, Bill loses it and begins screaming at everyone.  He apologies to Isabeau for making her cry but she's still taken aback by his behavior.  Everyone participates in their last chance workout and the red team prays that they won't lose another team member this week.

The black teams heads to the scale first at the weigh-in.  Jim loses 9 pounds, Hollie drops 3 pounds, Jez drops 4 pounds, Julie loses 3 pounds, Bill loses 3 pounds, and Isabeau sheds 5 pounds.  The blue team is up next.  Kae loses 3 pounds, Ryan gets rid of 2 pounds, team captain Jerry drops 2 pounds, Nicole loses 3 pounds, Patty loses five pounds but combines it with her pass for a total of 8 pounds and Neil loses 3 pounds.  Everyone is surprised how low the numbers are at tonight's weigh-in but they're happy for any weight loss.

The last team to hit the scale tonight is the red team.  David is up first and loses 6 pounds, Bryan loses 4 pounds, Amy drops 6 pounds, and team captain Phil sheds 9 pounds.  The red team finally stays out of the elimination room which means the blue team will need to vote somebody out.  In deliberation, the blue team can't seem to have a civil conversation about who should be voted out.   Jerry and Kae are targeted as people who should be sent home.  In the end, the blue team decided to send their team captain home, the man who chose them to be part of the blue team in the first place.

Since leaving The Biggest Loser campus, Jerry has lost a total of 88 pounds.  Make sure you check back tomorrow as BuddyTV talks to Jerry about his time on the show.
