On The Biggest Loser 4 episode 4, the blue team lost following red team’s highway robbery immunity that allowed them to get nowhere but still be safe. After that, Allison revealed that The Biggest Loser campus was shutting down for a week. Except they didn’t reveal what that actually meant. Welcome to another live blog.
It means they’re going to Jamaica. Not worth the drama or a cliffhanger. We know already at least one of them doesn’t want to wear a bathing suit.
Jillian wants it to be known this is not a vacation. She’ll be as tough as usual.
Kim had to send Bryan to the doctor due to chest pain. To him, this is another reason why he should be losing weight.
Jillian’s unimpressed with the massive (and unhealthy) foods that are at the buffet, and it doesn’t appear like too many of the people she’s with have a concept of what’s good to eat.
Kim has her team workout in the pool. Bob decides to do yoga. Jillian’s back to her desert training.
Bryan runs on to the beach at the challenge. The doctor says he’s okay. Hollie and Isabeau sit out for the black team. Reward is a day at the spa. The challenge is a balancing act on rafts. Teams must pull themselves to shore without falling. Black team wins without any drama whatsoever.
Jillian and Bob told their teams not to dare drink a drop. Kim took a more reasonable but perhaps riskier approach and said they could drink if they wanted to do so, as they’re all adults and know what they’re there for. Even still, a couple drinks is pretty much irrelevant to whether they lose weight or not.
It’s time for the weigh in.
Black Team:
Isabeau: 264 pounds (-8)
Bill: 279 pounds (-6)
Jez: 302 pounds (-6)
Julie: 199 pounds (-4)
Jim: 307 pounds (-7)
Hollie: 228 pounds (-8)
Total: -39 pounds (2.41%)
Red Team:
David: 328 pounds (-9)
Bryan: 308 pounds (-11)
Amy: 268 pounds (-10)
Phil: 346 pounds (-12)
Total: -42 pounds (3.25%)
Blue Team:
Ryan: 331 pounds (-10)
Nicole: 252 pounds (-6)
Kae: 184 pounds (-7)
Neil: 365 pounds (-10)
Total: -33 pounds (2.83%)
Red team wins; black team loses. Hollie is the biggest loser on the black team and is safe this week. The girls are afraid of being picked off one by one. They’re trying to convince Jez to vote with them to take out one of the twins, an alliance that will be tough to beat if they last too long. I don’t think the girls have to worry about whether it’s a tie or not. If they vote as a block, I suspect the winning team will see the twins as just as much a threat, in terms of both longer term strategy and also their ability to lose weight.
Despite the trip to Jamaica, or perhaps because of it, everybody had a great week. David had a drink but didn’t go crazy, and in the end, it didn’t make a difference, as the red team still won the weigh in this week. Kae put up great numbers as usual.
Votes
Bill: Isabeau
Isabeau: Jim
Jim: Isabeau
