The Biggest Loser is one of my guilty pleasures. Read what I think about the show here.
The Biggest Loser Couples Week Four
Another entertaining episode of the Biggest Loser Couples
Twist
The episode started off with a twist. The teams voted for the team they wanted to get rid of the most. The team chosen would then have to compete against the other six teams combined.
The yellow team was chosen because three teams saw them as a threat. I'm not really sure why. They only had one really good week.
Reward
The yellow team was the biggest loser last week and they received their reward this week. They won two pounds off the weight-in of their choice.
Us Against The World
Initially, the yellow team had the mindset of them against the world. However, after speaking with Jillian they realized that was the wrong mindset to have. I agree. Losing weight is very hard and the more people you have supporting you, the better your chances of losing and keeping off the weight.
Workouts
The yellow team had their choice of trainers and they chose Jillian. So, Bob was left to train the other six teams. This separation of the trainers brought out the best in the trainers and they really pushed the contestants.
Commercial
Another Biggest Loser product placement commercial: Quaker's Weight Control Oatmeal. I actually love this stuff and recommend it to anyone trying to lose weight. They also stressed the importance of eating breakfast, which I agree is the most important meal of the day. The earlier you eat it, the better.
Challenge
The challenge had the yellow team competing against the other six teams. They had to walk across a balance beam over a pool of water, pick up a peg, walk back across the balance beam, and put the peg in a hole. They had to do this 12 times.
The yellow team destroyed the other 6 teams. Their prize was letters from home. However, they kindly gave the letters to the other six teams.
Game Play
Some of the teams decided to sabotage the weigh-in by drinking lots of water before the weigh-in. Their idea was to let the yellow team win, so the yellow team would eliminate the feared black team.
Weigh-In
The weigh-ins still amaze me. After four weeks of losing weight, 4 of the 14 contestants had double digit weight losses. 4 of the 14 contestants lost 3 pounds or less. However, these were the contestants who were playing the game to get rid of the black team.
In the end their sabotage of the weigh-in backfired. The black team had the highest percentage of weight loss. So, they had immunity from being eliminated. In the end the yellow team beat the combined efforts of the other six teams. They then voted off the pink team.
Aftermath
The pink team went home and continued their weight loss. The tight relationship between mother and daughter is really helping their weight loss efforts.
There is another twist next week. Next week they will start eliminating individuals instead of teams. It will be very interesting to see what happens.
