The Biggest Loser – Week Five Recap

February 5th, 2009 · No Comments

The week started off with the at-home players weighing in. The winner of the weigh-in will win immunity for their team at the weigh-in at the end of the week. The blue team was the winner, losing 25 pounds and 7.18%. Aubrey lost the least amount: 2 pounds and .85%. At the challenge, the contestants had to work together to untie a rope long enough to make it 300 feet to the finish line. The Yellow team won and were given the choice between a $5,000 prize or a 2 pound advantage at the weigh-in.

At the last chance workout, Shanon proved her strength by carrying Sione across the gym and back. Joelle said she could not focus and does not workout. Carla, noticing this, worked much harder than normal to try to make up for Joelle not doing any work.

At the weigh-in, Carla lost nine pounds and became angry at Joelle for not doing her fair share, making her pull in a 0. The Silver team of Joelle and Carla fell under the yellow line with the Brown team of Ron and Mike, who were under the yellow line for the second week in a row. The Green team of Tara and Laura won the weigh-in with 25 pounds lost for the second week in a row.

During the deliberations, Aubrey asks Joelle if she honestly wants to be at the ranch. Joelle equivocates and never directly replies to the question. Carla’s anger at Joelle escalates into an argument. The Brown team says that they need to be there for Mike’s sake.

As the votes were revealed, the first four votes were all for the Silver team, which was enough to send them home, and it was not necessary to reveal the votes from the remaining two teams. As each team cast its vote, them made clear that they were voting Joelle off, but that they would miss Carla, who they felt worked out very hard.

In the at-home update, it was revealed that Carla and Joelle have not spoken to each other for several months. When they finally meet they get into another argument; Joelle told Carla she is done and walks out. The final video showed them separately. Joelle had lost 57 pounds and is planning to wear a size 10 dress at the finale. Carla had lost 87 pounds and hopes to break the record for weight lost by a female contestant.
