The Biggest LoserKeeping the Eye on the Prize Hello, and welcome to another week of NBC' The Biggest Loser: Couples. Last week, we said goodbye to Carla and Joelle. Tonight's episode of The Biggest Loser opens with the Brown Team concerned about not losing enough weight, so they plan on talking to Bob about it. CHALLENGE Alison surprises them with a Pop Challenge, where they have to stand on a block on one foot. The winner will get a visit from a loved one for twenty-four hours. The brown team, Kristin, Dane, Tara (who falls on the water) and Cathy are eliminated almost right away. Pink Team soon follows. Sione is out, as is Filipe, who sacrifices himself for Mandi, knowing how much she wants to see her husband. Blaine and Aubrey also decide to sacrifice themselves. BROWN TEAM'S TALK WITH BOB Bob is not surprised to see the Silver Team gone. Bob tells the Brown Team to work on eating their calories, since they are not eating enough. MANDI'S WIN.....JILLIAN'S CONCERN Mandi happily tells Jillian she won the challenge, but Jillian is worried that it might have a negative effect on her. Mandi is hoping that he can see she is making a positive change for the both of them. TRAINER TIP Eat at home to save on calories and money. YOGA WITH BOB Bob takes his team to do yoga, which Kristin says is very calming. Bob says it will help them with the twists and turns and calm them down. Filipe says it reminds them of why they are there in the first place. Cathy says it helps her spiritually as well. JILLIAN PUSHES LAURA Meanwhile, Jillian takes her team to the gym, pushing Laura in particular because she feels Laura is not working up to her potential. Jillian calls Tara older and says to hit Laura if she isn't working hard enough. HIKING AND SUBWAY Bob tells his team that they are going hiking--to Subway. (I blame this show entirely for my Subway addiction.) They go to one to get water and snacks and then walk two more miles to another Subway for Fresh Fit Meals. Bob shows them how to order and tells them about the importance of getting some carbs. CHALLENGE NUMBER TWO The second challenge is a dependence one. They must each hold an end of a bar and if they drop it too low they are out. The winner will get immunity. After about an hour, the Blue Team is eliminated. The Brown Team is eliminated after an hour and forty five minutes, followed by the Black Team. The Pink Team is gone after two hours. After three hours, the Yellow Team is gone. This leaves Purple and Green, who keep joking about how familiar this is. (They were head to head a couple of weeks ago as well.) In the end, the Purple Team wins, which really upsets Laura. MANDI'S HUSBAND VISITS After the challenge, Mandi is greeted by her husband Rusty.....and her sons! It is a very touching family reunion that has me in tears watching it. (I don't think there is an episode this season that didn't make me cry!) TRAINER TIP Start a designated route for kids to walk so they get some exercise as they catch the bus. MORE WITH MANDI AND HER FAMILY The second hour kicks off with Mandi introducing her family to everyone and making them a breakfast of scrambled eggs. Helen made them strawberry smoothies. She also takes them to the gym to show them what she goes through every day. BOB AND HIS TEAM'S LAST CHANCE WORKOUT Bob is thrilled to find out the Purple Team won the challenge and got immunity. To celebrate he gives them princess rides on the golf cart. Kristin is determined to get under 300 pounds this week and Bob is determined to keep the Brown Team above the yellow line this week. Mike is very upset, but Bob tells him that he deserves a good number on the scale this week. (I really want to give him a hug--he is working so hard!) Bob pulls him aside to tell him his dad needs him. JILLIAN'S TEAM'S LAST CHANCE WORKOUT Tara is worried because she's had good numbers so far and is due to hit a wall soon. Jillian pushes Aubrey to the breaking point, crying about missing her family. Jillian says now is her chance to try and set a better example for her children. Everyone is very stressed today. Mandi tells Jillian she wants to see her children one more time before they leave. Jillian is upset because it is cutting into workout time. Mandi agrees to work out longer so Jillian lets her go say goodbye. WEIGH-IN Tonight only one team will fall below the yellow line and one person from that team will go home. Cathy: 268-4=264 lbs Kristin: 301+2=303 lbs (She says she will move on and do better next week) Helen: 216-5=211 lbs Shanon: 246-5=241 lbs Tara:240-11=229 lbs Laura: 252-3=249 lbs Sione: 216-11=205 lbs Filipe:308-10=298 lbs Blaine: 303-4=299 lbs Dane: 334-5=329 lbs Aubrey: 224-1=223 lbs Mandi: 221-6=215 lbs Ron: 366-5= 361 lbs Mike: 330-13=317 lbs This means the Black Team is below the yellow line. Blaine wishes they could both go home but wants everyone to vote for him to go, especially since he wants to be with his baby. Bob's team wants to game play, which causes arguing and anger over Damien's elimination. ELIMINATION Pink Team: Dane Brown Team: Blaine Green Team: Blaine Blue Team: Blaine Purple Team: Blaine This means Blaine will go home and be with his baby. After some emotional goodbyes, he is sent on his way. HOW HE LOOKS NOW Blaine now has more energy to play with his family, looks amazing and is now training for the Ironman Marathon. He also lost 86 pounds to date. Next week on The Biggest Loser, the pressure is still on Mike and Kristin to stay in the game. Goodnight everybody!
