This week, the two hours of The Biggest Loser will be aired on two separate nights, Tuesday and Wednesday due to the President’s address. This is a recap of Tuesday’s episode.

Last night on The Biggest Loser the contestants were introduced to yet another ‘Pop’ challenge, where Alison explained that this challenge will change the course of the game. The game is becoming Black v. Blue.The Pop challenge consisted of one player from each team having to jump down and up 100 times and hit their colored marker. The first player to do this wins and with their teammate, will have the privilege of choosing their trainer. Tara from Green won the challenge and chose for her and Laura to stay on Jillian’s Black Team. Helen came in last place and was forced to change from Bob to Jillian.

The new teams are as follows:

* Blue: Ron (Brown), Cathy & Kristin (Purple), Aubrey & Mandi (Yellow), and Dane (Black).
* Black: Tara & Laura (Green), Filipe & Sione (Blue), Mike (Brown), and Helen (Pink)

When the trainers found out about the new team set-ups, they were both extremely surprised. Jillian was seen very concerned for Sione, since she knows he had developed a strong bond with Bob. Bob was having a very difficult time dealing with the new set-up, and was upset about losing Filipe, Sione, Helen, and Mike.

The regular weekly challenge was a biking challenge. The new teams were taken into the gym where they found two stationary bikes, one for each team. Alison explained that the challenge would be a biking one, with the objective to put on as many miles as possible. Teams could switch out players at any time and the team with the most miles ridden would win. Alison then went on to explain that this is the longest challenge in Biggest Loser history, going on for a full 24 hours (The previous longest challenge ever was from last season, going for 14 hours.)

At the end of the challenge, the scores stood at 301-264, and the Black Team were the winners. The prizes were a stationary bike for each member, and a 3-pound advantage at the upcoming weigh-in. Tara rode the farthest, nearly 59 miles by herself.
