The Biggest Loser 10/14/08

The episode starts out in the temptation room. The room is filled with cupcakes, brownies, peanut butter cups, everything yummy and sugary. The temptation is that whomever eats the most calories in ten minutes has the power to choose the teams and the trainers. It's now Blue v. Black. And another thing. They turn out the lights so no one knows what anyone else is eating.

Heba speaks up and volunteers that she will eat a donut and keep the teams the way they are. Everyone says that's a great idea. But in the cut in interview Red team seems to think that Heba tries to control and manipulate everything. Heba played the "I just lost my husband card." Jillians current team all start crying that it's unfair that if they leave the teams as is, then Bob's team has two boys. Of course they forget that Jillian has NEVER lost this game. While the women are all crying about what to do, Red guy stands up and eats, in order to control his own destiny. Red continues to eat peanut butter cups, Heba starts eating donuts. When Red takes a wrapper off of the peanut butter cup, the it makes a noise. Heba then tries to figure out how many he's eaten. Drama, drama, drama.

Heba ends up eating two donuts. Amy Purple eats one brownie, and Phil, Red ate two peanut butter cups. No one else ate anything. Heba ate the most calories and won the temptation. She is given a half hour to decide teams.

Amy Red is upset that she's going to lose Bob as her trainer, or her husband to another team. Amy Purple wants to be on a team with a guy.

Blue team is
Heba Orange
Vicky Brown
Amy Red

Brady Brown

Black team is

Shellay Purple

Trainer Tips: Jillian says make your eating out more healthy by making special requests look for steamed, broiled, baked, grilled, poached or roasted. If all else fails go the salad route.

Bob shows up to find the Blue Team in the kitchen. Amy and Heba both start crying. Vicky explained what was going on. Heba didn't care about the numbers she was mad at Phil. Bob is pissed off he thinks her decision was "stupid". He pulled Amy aside to get her side of the story. (Keep in mind that Heba lost 8 pounds last week, she's going to have a LOW number, I'm guessing she's going to get to see her husband soon.)

Jillian got the Black teams story. They were off to work out. Michelle wanted to talk to Jillian about her emotions. Talking more about the divorce, again. Like her parents are the first in history to divorce. It's not your fault, get over it.

The next morning at 5:55 Allison wakes everyone up and tells them to meet in front of the gym in ten minutes. Heba is complaining. The challenge will last 14 hours, from sun up til sun down. They have all day to climb the mountain as many times as they can. There are camera's on the top of the hill and in front of the gym. Every time they climb the hill they have to take a picture, if they can get all five team members in the same picture it is worth bonus points. The winning team gets a two pound pass.

Blue was having trouble staying together. Vicky was hurting. The blue team decided they would split up. Brady was going to try to make up the difference. By 10:30 it was 98 degrees out. It eventually got to 112 degrees. Both teams decided to take a break, trusting that no one would go up and down the hill during the break. Shellay decided to go and check if everyone was taking a break, she went to talk to Colleen. The game was getting to them, they were feeling guilty, and they couldn't rest during the break. But Colleen wouldn't break her word. The blue team stayed together for the first climb. Black stayed together the whole time.

With 90 seconds left Shellay was behind and had to run to make the final team picture. The black team got 162 points, Brady from the Blue team ran over 20 miles. Blue got 147 points.

Trainer tips: Bob says hiking is a great form of exercise. He says to run on the inclines, stay hydrated, bring a lunch, make a day of it.

Time for a Jello plug by the pool. Bob tells Amy to go and get the Cool Whip in a can. Ten calories here, twenty calories here.

Then they tell him about the challenge and it's off to the gym.

Jillian pulls Michelle aside to try and talk her out of leaving the campus. She has Michelle call her dad. Dad tells her to stay there, and that she's not betraying him by loving her mom. Michelle still isn't sure she's going to stay. Michelle discusses it with her mom. Mom says no matter what I'll love you. Michelle looks as though the advice wasn't helpful.

Bob then plugs milk, it has protein to build lean muscle mass. Potassium, calcium. Everything but the mustache. He didn't drink his though, yes I noticed. Go to whymilk.com to learn more.
