On last night's episode of The Biggest Loser, Coleen Skeabeck was eliminated from the competition. It was a week full of ups and downs for Coleen - things got started with a competition involving 80s trivia except that in the 1980s, she was only in kindergarten! Back at the house, she reached a milestone when she realized that she was able to fit into her goal shirt. Then, at the weigh-in, she and Vicky fell below the yellow line. Despite the fact that Vicky has been viewed as this season's villain, her alliance pulled in enough votes to keep her in the competition and instead, sent Coleen home. Today, she spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview.

I thought The Biggest Loser was a place to change your life for the better and for once, focus on yourself. People come to this show, not to become reality stars, but to save themselves from an early death. Their health issues are severe, their eating habits and lack of exercise have gotten way out of control and they need something extreme to turn things around. Now, I’ll admit that in the past, there have certainly been contestants who have butted heads. There has even been a dirty move here and there to keep someone in the game or eliminate someone and send them home. I promise, though. Never has there been a dirtier group of players than the blue team on this season of The Biggest Loser.

On tonight’s episode of The Biggest Loser, the blue team celebrates Phil’s elimination. The black team, on the other hand, was sad to lose him but they take out their frustration in their workouts with Jillian. The contestants all come together to meet with Alison, who lets them know that they need to head to the gym right then and there. She brings in the previously eliminated contestants but unfortunately for Coleen, her dad was unable to make it. For a minute, she actually thought something happened to him until Alison said that he had to work. Seriously, his employer wouldn’t let him come back to the ranch?

On The Biggest Loser: Families, there are 7 contestants remaining and we are rapidly approaching the live finale. Only 2 original teams remain: husband and wife Vicky and Brady, who train with Bob, and mother and daughter Michelle and Renee, who train with Jillian. Also competing on Bob’s blue team is Heba, who has been calling many of the shots since early on, and Amy, who originally trained with Jillian. Michelle and Renee’s remaining teammate is Coleen, who was the first to lose her partner, dad Jerry, in the game. With only weeks left in the game, it is starting to seem obvious who will be there at the end, and they’re all wearing blue shirts.

This season, on The Biggest Loser: Families, Phil Parham got a bad deal. Phil entered into a conversation with a teammate, that was intended to be confidential, about eliminating another player in the game. It was not meant to be malicious or shady but Phil was betrayed and his teammate, Heba, soon found out about his plan to get her out of the game. Heba took action, separating Phil from his wife when she was given the power to create teams in The Biggest Loser. Amy was eliminated soon after and Phil went home this week. Though he tried to defend himself, his old blue team just wouldn't believe a word he said. Even though he had the support of his black team members, it wasn't enough to keep him in the game and he was eliminated on last night's episode. Today, he spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview.

On tonight's episode of The Biggest Loser, Bob confronts Vicky and Brady over his 3 pound weight loss last week. Bob felt like it was intentional in order to get Amy P. out of the house. Vicky promises that she would never do that but in his interview, Bob calls her the biggest gameplayer who ever walked into the house. Brady comes clean with Bob and says that he hasn't been eating ever 4 hours like he is supposed to. At today's first challenge, the contestants were visited by Dave Zinczenko, the author of "Eat This Not That" an editor-in-chief of Men's Health magazine. The teams are shown two different foods at a time and must pick the healthier one. The winning team will receive a 40 pound advantage in the next challenge. No one knows what that means, but it seems worth playing for! Thanks to the food knowledge instilled in them by Bob, the blue team pulls off a victory

On tonight's episode of The Biggest Loser, Amy C. dealt with her mother's elimination, which was extremely hard for her. Shellay was the one who encouraged her daughter to try out and now, Amy C. is determined to make it all the way to the end. Jillian sits the black team down and tells them that if they're going to start winning weigh-ins, they'll need to start getting more competitive. Phil starts to accept that in order to win, he'll have to go up against his wife, Amy P., who is on the blue team.
