THE BIGGEST LOSER 7 706 TV PG L Air Time: 08:00PM 10:00PM Eastern

ONE CONTESTANT WINS 24 HOUR VISIT FROM LOVED ONE

It’s the 100th episode of “The Biggest Loser,” and this week, a balancing competition will bring the winner a coveted prize – a 24 hour visit from a loved one back home. Then the teams all take part in a tough challenge that tests their endurance, and later, one player will be sent home from the team that falls below the dreaded yellow line.

At last week’s weigh in the Green team (Tara and Laura) has the highest percentage of weight loss for the second week in a row, losing 4.84% and 25 pounds. The Brown and Silver teams fell below the yellow line with Joelle losing zero pounds. Because of her lack of commitment the Silver team was eliminated.
