Biggest Loser TV Show last night?????

[tiggerlover]

My cable went out 20 minutes into the show, can someone tell me what happened???? I was so mad I missed it. I know they broke up into teams of two and I know what the teams were, it went out just as they were telling Bob that two people were going home. Help!!!

[ohMom]

oh dear! i recorded it, i can tell you tomorrow if no one else replies!

Alrighty tiggerlover here goes my recollections-
They were told they would be "paired up" a blue member and a red member as duos.
Then they had a challenge to determine WHO got to put them together.
Wylie won it (it was a rather stupid contest-mostly luck)
He put himself with Marty
Heather with Bobby (I think that's his name)
Pam with the guy with the beard
Kai with Eric
They went thru the week together everyone training together
The 2 duos that lost the LEAST percentage would be on the block.
Weigh in: Marty/Wylie and Heather/Bobby teams lost the most
So Pam and bearded guy & Kai and Eric ( the DUMB jerk actually gained 3 pounds) on the chopping block.....but wait Kai has a immunity pass! (dum dum dum dum)
She uses the pass to save her & the DUMB jerk Eric and Pam and the bearded guy go home
Before the door even closes on Pam and B.G. in come 6 new people wearing t-shirts with states' names on them. 3 men 3 women.
They're told the 1 duo of the new people will be the ones to take the place of Pam and B.G.
Then there was all this moaning and complaing about how they didn't want new people just the old ones back.
That's all!!

By the way it looks like some of the at home new people have actually done better than the ones at the ranch. But that's just my opinion, we won't actually know any of that until next week.

Did any of you watch the very end with the follow-ups? Brian looks amazing! I didn't even recognize him, all clean-shaven and everything.
Pam looked pretty great, too! :thumbsup2

I totally didn't recognize him either! I was like who's that and when they had the side by side comparisons I was like WHOA!!! He cleans up pretty good. :)

Yeah.. I thought they were highlighting someone who wasn't at the ranch and then I saw that side by side.. they make a cute family :)

Yes Brian looked incredible. I was like dude are you kidding me. That's not the same guy. Pam looks good too. Just a little more work for her, but she is doing great. I thought it was kind of crappy what Eric did, but I guess it is a game and in the short run was a good move.

[tiggerlover]

Thanks for the recaps gang, I am so sorry I missed it. I was so mad as it was the 4th night during prime time that the cable went out and blasted the cable company. I wish I could have seen Brian and Pam's updates! I hear next weeks show is going to be two hours, I can't wait for that!

[ohMom]

ok, great recall AlaskaMom!

i ditto everything said here -- i know it was strategy but oh man that was such a crappy thing for Erik to do. I agree that some at-home challengers could give them a run for their money. i would think they'll have to be mentally stronger after doing it on their own.


tiggerlover, i wonder if their updated photos are on the website? i didn't realize it was Brian either!

I just saw the last few minutes?

Why is Erik a "DUMB jerk?" Did he gain weight on purpose, knowing he had immunity, so he could lose a larger percentage the next week? Did he gain weight by eating, or did he drink a bunch of water before the weigh-in maybe?

If so, that would probably make him a "SMART jerk," but I'll reserve judgment until I'm able to find out what happened.

Yes, he did it on purpose, not sure how, he said to Bob he didn't eat wrong. We'll see if his strategy paid off!

[corndog]

I bet he just drank a bunch of water before the weigh-in.

One gallon of water weighs over 8 pounds. Or maybe it was quarters in his shoes.

[AlaskaMOM]

Ok, Ok, Ok Y'all caught me, I do know it's not nice to call names. I'm sorry for calling names.

But in calling Eric dumb, it was not meant as him being "mentally challenged", but as in why the heck is he there??? Isn't the name of the show biggest loser (not gainer)? Having been heavy the majority of my life; the possibility of $250,000 wouldn't be enough of a lure to mess up what may potentially be a saving grace for me. Now if indeed it was just guzzling a bucketful of water to gain (not only the 3 pounds he really did gain, but any amount he SHOULD have been working on losing) that indeed would have been smart. But I highly doubt he drank 5+ pounds of water! He has the farthtest to go in his weight loss journey, was it wise?!?! we won't know until the end (if ever?)

[corndog]

Well, after he dropped 20 the next week, he must have just loaded up on water the week before.
