In The Biggest Loser 4 Episode 1, we saw pretty much the most obvious outcome ever, with the person who started off as a dumb pick proving to be as bad as everyone thought, as Amber was eliminated after threatening to quit repeatedly.
We start off with the first weigh in for the black team.
Isabeau: 290 lbs (-8)
Julie: 216 lbs (-2)
Hollie: 244 lbs (-11)
Jez: 329 lbs (-16)
Jim: 350 lbs (-11)
Bill: 313 lbs (-21)
Total: -69 lbs (3.81%)
Jillian’s got her work cut out for her. By comparison, the red team lost 4.43%, and the blue team lost 5.81%. A couple of these people are just lucky to have not been picked because bootinig either Isabeau or moreso Julie would be completely justifiable.
Phil would like to lose the weight to be able to pass fire department tests. Julie wants to lose the weight to increase her odds of having another child. Amy is afraid of getting diabetes like others in her family. Patty doesn’t want to die young.
On the hike to the top of the hill, Neil has trouble with his knees. Bob advises him if he has a problem, he should turn back. He decides to just push through it.
More of the primitive training conditions in the desert. This workout consists of lugging logs around. Jillian looks forward to the air conditioned gym, as it will be like a walk in the park compared to working out in the 96 degree heat.
Brian grabs string cheese and Jell-O for his meal before a workout. Kim is unimpressed. She decides to make tacos out of turkey. Then it’s time for the pre-challenge workout, where Amy starts whining.
Next, it’s Hollie’s turn. During the workout on the beach, she falls and starts crying, but she gets what she’s working toward and gets up and finishes.
It’s climbing time. The next challenge is climbing stairs at a 10 story building (up and back down). The reward is immunity for one person. Neil is unable to compete due to his injury earlier. Ryan, also from the blue team, is unable to compete due to irregular blood levels. The red team must choose who to sit out, and they pick Lezlye. Kae gets off to an early lead for the blue team. Patty retains the lead. Bryan catches up a bit but is still behind. Phil takes a slight lead, but it’s neck and neck going into the home stretch. Phil inches out the win for the red team, beating out Gerry. Immunity is determined by who flips the correct switch at random. David wins immunity, though he probably wouldn’t need it.
Neil can’t stomach eating, but Bob emphasizes that the body needs food to lose weight.
Bob is thrilled with what he’s getting from his team and says they’ve pushed harder than anyone before. Kim is not so thrilled because her team, or at least the girls, keeps whining, so she’s going easier on them. She’s really impressed with the guys, but she lets the girls know she’s sick of them. Lezlye starts mocking her, and Amy just walks out.
Amy makes an alliance with Lezlye because she thinks it will help her stick around longer. I got a better way: work harder.
The black team makes their way back into the house in time for the weigh in. Upon walking into the weigh in, the blue and red teams are greeted by the black team waiting for them, ready for battle. Even Bob and Kim weren’t expecting the twist.
Blue Team:
Gerry: 256 lbs (-10)
Nicole: 265 lbs (-6)
Patty: 265 lbs (-2)
Ryan: 349 lbs (-10)
Kae: 200 lbs (-5)
Neil: 389 lbs (-10)
Total: -43 lbs (2.43%)
Red Team:
Bryan: 325 lbs (-6)
Amy: 285 lbs (-2)
Lezlye: 243 lbs (-3)
David: 344 lbs (-4)
Phil: 372 lbs (-5)
Total: -20 lbs (1.26%)
Black Team:
Hollie: 242 lbs (-2)
Isabeau: 285 lbs (-5)
Jez: 320 lbs (-9)
Julie: 213 lbs (-3)
Bill: 301 lbs (-12)
Jim: 334 lbs (-16)
Total: 47 lbs (2.70%)
With no help from the women on the team, the black team wins the weigh in. The red team, meanwhile, as a whole, did poorly this week, and they have lost the weigh in again. At just 6 pounds, Bryan is the biggest loser on the red team, so he is safe, as is David with immunity. Amy tries to talk David into believing Phil’s too big a threat to keep around. She then realizes he’s not getting rid of Phil, so she drops the alliance and works on her own behalf.
Phil: Lezlye
Lezlye: Phil
Amy: Phil
David: Lezlye
Bryan: Lezlye
By a vote of 3-2, Lezlye has been eliminated. Today, Lezlye weighs 200 pounds, down 55 pounds from her starting weight of 255 pounds.
