The Biggest Loser Train!
| Sun, 09-11-2005 - 4:41pm |
So Biggest Loser starts up again on Tuesday just in time for me to jump back on the train with my own eating habits. I'm going back on south beach after I fell off miserably and have slept and bummed out the remainder of the month of august. So I'm back on track starting tommorow, I cleared my house of any sugar. LOL
Anyhow, so is everyone going to watch this time around? It really was very inspiring last year. I'll probably keep this post going every wednesday to see if people are watching.

Week 10 Recap:
Matt was contemplating quitting but didn't. Has a long talk with Jillian about his frustration and basically facing his own demons including use of alcohol in his life.
This weeks temptation is a carnival theme. A ski ball game is set up, the top hole says "The biggest loser", all the other holes say food like "Funnel Cake" "popcorn" etc.
If you take the challenge and get it in the top hole you can vote for someone else to not be allowed immunity I believe but I can't remember. If you land on a food item you have to eat that food. Everyone resists. YAY TEAM!!!
The challenge has no immunity with it. The winner of this challenge can give 2 lbs to any person weighing in. The challenge is the teammates have to cling to a large metal bar that is dangling over the water (basically hugging it and balancing their feet on a very small platform at the bottom of it). Dr Jeff falls first. Matt jumps off his. 25 minutes into it Seth starts trying to psyche out the girls, Andrea just ignores him and just stays in this zone, she doesn't remotely move from whatever position she currently is in. Seth keeps moving up and down and trying to get more "comfortable" Suzy does the same. Seth jumps off after 40 mins. Suzy starts getting tired and whiney and falls off at around 50 mins. ANDREA WINS!!!!! She wins a night away at a new hotel suite.
Her husband is there to surprise her in the room, she's really excited. He toasts to her and it was sweet and rather gushy. He actually said some really supportive things this time so that was good.
Weigh in time. Andrea decides since Dr. Jeff lost so much last week that she will give him the 2 lbs. Suzy weighs in first. She loses 4 lbs. When she started at the ranch she weighed 210 lbs and now weighs 66 lbs for a total of 61 lbs lost. Seth goes next he loses 8 lbs. He started out at the ranch weighing 291 and weighs in tonight at 211. Losing a total of 80 lbs. Next is Andrea. She loses 3 lbs. She started at the ranch weighing in at 220 lbs and now weighs 176 lbs losing a total of 44 lbs. Next is Matt, last week he gained 12 lbs, he's real nervous, he loses a whopping 26 lbs. Looks like his little experiment pays off for him. He started at the ranch at 339 lbs. He weighed in last night at 240 lbs losing a total of 99 lbs. Jeff is the last to weigh in, he has to lose a total of 8 lbs (due to the added two pounds to not be in the bottom 2). He loses 3 lbs. Dr. Jeff came to the ranch weighing 370 lbs. He weighed in tonight at 267 lbs Losing a total of 103 lbs.
Jeff and Andrea end up in the bottom 2. I feel bad for Andrea she's working so hard to win challenges and to lose weight and she still gets shafted. UGGH! THe good news is she looks amazing when they show the 1st weigh in day compared to today, her midsection is just phenomenol. hardly any bumps now.
Bob gives Andrea a pep talk and tells her that she'll make it on the outside if she leaves. She confesses she ate brownies the night before he asks how many she says she doesn't know but that they were "bite size" Matt chimes in with the total of 9 brownies that she ate. Bob gets kind of pissed off about it. Jeff sits with Jillian and reflects with her all the accomplishments he's made, when he arrived he could hardly get down the stairs, or walk on a treadmill and now he's running on one.
The go in for the elimination round. Suzy votes with another drawn out speech (gag!) and votes for Jeff.
Matt says the greatest speech about Jeff being such a selfless person and considers Jeff one of his heroes right before he votes for him. LOL
Jeff has an emotional reunion wiht his family and declares himself the luckiest man alive. Jeff goes on to lose another 27 lbs on his own for a total of 130 lbs. The man looks like a shadow of his former self.
It was a great episode.
Only one episode left before the finale! STAY TUNED!
I too thought it was a pretty good episode-- however-
Matt annoyed me, not only with his walking out on the workout (afterwards in his talk with Jillian, I felt a little less pi$$ed about it), but with the challenge. Now I know it's a game, but that whole bobbing up and down on the pole, in turn jiggling everyone, really annoyed me. I guess I'm just a fair player ;-)
Dr. Jeff DOES look phenomenal!! His arrival back at home really choked me up!

Week 11 Recap:
Jillian is afraid that Matt is getting bored with his exercise routines so they bring in his old wrestling coach and a buddy of his. They wrestle and he's "rejuvinated" to get it done.
Their challenge this week is to strap on the amount of weight they've lost (in quarters)and climb up a building on a ladder. Whomever has the best time wins the money. Matt races up the ladder, next is Seth, next Suzy and then Andrea. When they get down Caroline throws them a curve and says now they have to do it without the added weight and whomever does it with the best time between their first run and second win. Matt is pissed and I think he has the right to be that guy scaled that thing fast and was duped. So he again wins, then seth, then suzy and then Andrea but Andrea wins the money. Which I think isn't fair but whatever.
They go on to do their final exercises and they work hard. Jillian has them do it on their own to make sure they are prepared for the outside world.
Time for the weigh in. Andrea goes first, she loses 3 lbs, Then Seth, he loses 7 lbs, then Suzy she loses 5 lbs, and then Matt goes having to lose at least 7 lbs to beat Suzy and not be in the bottom two and he loses 10 lbs.
Suzy and Andrea are in the bottom two. Matt has broken the 100 lbs mark and has lost 109 lbs total. HUGE accomplishment.
Suzy and Andrea both talk about how they worked really hard and have accomplished great things.
Final elimination both men vote for Andrea to go home. She tells Suzy to kick the boys bums.
Everyone each goes in seperately to say bye to their trainers. They are shown lifesize pictures of their first day at the ranch. Brings everyone to tears and amazement of how far they've come.
Next week is the two hour season finale so make sure you girls watch it. I don't know what Andrea looks like now because they didn't show her but said to check her out on the website however nbc.com isn't working right now. Maybe in the morning it will be up and running, it's probably jammed with everyone trying to see what she looks like. So if I get a chance in the AM to look I'll edit and put the info up.
I thought they were all looking superb! Seth is really looking trim compared to that dough boy he was. lol
I didn't feel too sorry for Matt. Looks like the odds are in his favor to win anyway so what's a couple thousand bucks. Andrea deserved at least that IMO she has hung around longer than I thought she would do to her smaller amounts of weight lost and she worked as hard as everyone else.
I just love Jillian more and more. I'm so impressed how she really invests herself into these people.
I was glad to see them pick Suzy to go to the end with them. I don't think it would have been fair to bring Andrea. Andrea was only there, because they knew that consistently she'd lose less and they wouldn't have to go home. So I think picking Suzy to go to the final 3 was the right choice to make.
I still can't get the video for Andrea to play at NBC.com here at work. Maybe it will at home.
