CONTESTANTS TRY UNUSUAL WORKOUTS AND GET SIX WEEK PROGRESS REPORTS

This week, trainers Bob and Jillian take their teams through very unusual workouts unlike anything they’ve done before. Later, Dr. Huizenga gives the contestants a very encouraging six week progress report of how far they’ve come and how much healthier they are since coming to the ranch. Then the teams square off in a difficult balance beam challenge, with the winning team getting something very special from home.

Last week the temptation was one that could turn the game upside down forever. The contestants were in a room with baked goods. Whoever ate the most calories in 10 minutes would be able to choose the new teams, black and blue. However, the lights were off so no one could see who was eating what. In the end, Heba won the temptation and kept her original team except for switching Phil to the black team and putting Amy into the blue team.

The challenge was the longest challenge in Biggest Loser history. It lasted for 14 hours. The teams would have to walk up and down the mountain for 14 hours. After they reached the top or bottom of the mountain, they had to take a picture. If all 5 members were in the picture, they would get a bonus point. After several hours, it started to become hotter and hotter. Everyone decided to take a break. Shellay and Coleen wondered if the other team was actually telling the truth. They were thinking of going out during the break to walk but did not. In the end, the black team won the 2 pound advantage at the next weigh in. Also, Brady walked the most out of anyone, by walking 20 miles.

Michelle was emotional because she thought her dad wouldn’t love her if she loved her mom. Jillian let Michelle talk to her dad and he encouraged her to stay and said she was his inspiration. He thought that what she was thinking was silly and that he loves her. At the weigh in, Ali wondered if Michelle was going to quit, and in the end, Michelle ended up staying. The black team loses a combined total of 30 pounds plus the 2 pound from the challenge. The blue team had to lose more than 33 pounds in order to stay safe. Amy C lost 9 pounds moving out of the 200’s and weighing 199. Brady, Vicky, and Amy P all lost 6 pounds. The pressure was on Heba and she had to lose more than 6 pounds. Phil thought she wouldn’t be able to lose more than 6 pounds since she lost 8 pounds last week.

In the end, Heba lost another 8 pounds and the black team had to vote someone out. At an emotional voting ceremony, Colleen had to break the tie breaker between Renee and Shellay, and Shellay was voted out. in a very tearful elimination. Shellay felt like she is now 30 years old and has continued to work out. Shellay started the competition wearing a size 18 and is now a size 10. Shellay hopes to be a size 6 at the finale.
