Biggest Loser Episode 6
I missed the first bit of Biggest Loser this week because I was talking to my wife, since she’s still in Nebraska, so I didn’t get to take any notes; however, I did watch the show and can give a pretty good point by point break down of what happened off the top of my head. Ream more after the jump.
- The blue team dominated this entire episode, winning everything but the food challenge, and even though 2 members have to go without training and another 2 have to eat only fast food as a result, they still manage to kick mucho ass. Go blue team!
- As a reward for winning one of the biggest loser challenges the blue team got to choose betweem a healthy lunch at a fancy hotel, or a power workout in the hotels pool. I was actually surprised when the blue team chose the meal over the power workout, even though it paid off in the end, since they got to sit beside the pool and enjoy their yummy meals while the red team looked on from the pool. That’s just mean, but so wicked.
- Both the red and blue team got an update from the Dr on tonight’s episode. It’s amazing how much these peoples body’s have changed for the good. None of them are in the danger zone for diabetes anymore, one of them basically got rid of his diabetes, the heart disease risk has dropped substantially across the board, the cholesterol levels are down an almost unbeleivable amount and the overall health of each and every one of the biggest loser contestants has improved dramatically. It really is amazing what they have done, and they’re not even that close to the end of the show yet.
- At the weigh in the red team manages to put up some pretty good numbers. Kai leads the team is weigh loss yet again with a 9lbs loss. Its hard to beleive that she can still consistantly put up the biggest numbers when she’s quickly becoming one of the smaller members of the team. The girl might be annoying as hell sometimes, but she obviously works her ass off. The red team was also forced to sit out Ken, as the blue team won the last challenge and got to select who sat out this weigh in. Tough luck to, Ken lost around 13lbs (in that area, can’t recall for sure), one of his highest weight losses yet.
- The red team may have done well, but the blue team blew them right out of the water. Every member of the blue team lost big numbers this week, even Erik got into the game and lost a whopping 16lbs! He didn’t even have Bob to help him for 72 hours of the workouts and he still managed to push himself to lose 16lbs! Finally the big man is working it and shedding the lbs, and it is sure showing. Looking at everyone, blue and red team alike, now and comparing them to how they were when they came in is unbeleivable. These guys have accomplished so much since they showed up at the biggest loser ranch.
- Elimination time: I knew as soon as the red team lost the weigh in who they would be kicking off. The girls still have their ladies alliance and won’t break that for the lift of them, so that leaves either Wylie or Ken. Wylie has been working hard and consistantly putting up good numbers, where as Ken hasn’t been doing overly fantastic and, the keypoint, he gave up during a challenge on the last episode. That right there was the precursor for the nights elimination ceremony, and sure enough, Ken was eliminated.
- The biggest loser club post game update for Ken blew me away. Since coming to the ranch he had lost a decent amount of wait, in the 60’s if I remember, but when he left the ranch he must have turned into superman! To be honest, I didn’t think Ken would be able to stick to it once he left the ranch, but man did he ever, he’s lost a massive 138lbs since first coming to the ranch and he is looking fantastic! I can’t get over it, it is just absolutely incredible that he managed to lose that much weight. I cannot wait to see Ken at the finale, I’m pegging him around the 160lbs of weigh loss mark, but we will have to wait and see.
That is that. So ends another weeks biggest loser recap. Be sure to stay tuned for next weeks Episode 7 recap on November 1st, the day my wife gets back!

Side Not: My apologies to everyone for including the name of the eliminated contestants in the title of previous biggest loser recaps, especially to you people on DIGG who were kind enough to leave comments informing me of my stupidity. Rest assured, I won’t be spoiling the results of any show in the title of a post anymore. Thanks!
