The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 3
Posted by Shane on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Last week on The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 2, it came down to a choice between the two people who most desperately needed to be there. Choosing in favor of Dan, the heaviest contestant ever, the contestants voted out 63 year old Jerry and his wife Estella.
Sione’s eating some pizza now that he’s at home. David continues his poor showing from last week with some fried chicken at a buffet. The other at home contestants seem to get what they’re supposed to be doing, though.
The temptation is 5 minutes alone in the room, where they can eat as much or at little food as they want. Their partners have also had this opportunity, and their results will be revealed later. Alison does clue them in that not all of the others resisted temptation. The highest number of calories wins the temptation. Reward is to train with the trainers at home. Going home’s a bad thing on the path to weight loss, although depriving others of a trainer may be advantageous.
Mandi: 380 calories (1 slice of pizza)
Aubrey: 0 calories
Yellow Total: 380 calories
Filipe: 0 calories
Sione: 960 calories (2 pieces of pizza, 1 taco)
Blue Total: 960 calories
Kristin: 0 calories
Cathy: 0 calories
Purple Total: 0 calories
Damien: 0 calories
Nicole: 0 calories
Red Total: 0 calories
Helen: 0 calories
Shannon: 0 calories
Pink Total: 0 calories
Tara: 0 calories
Laura: 0 calories
Green Total: 0 calories
Joelle: 0 calories
Carla: 2710 calories (3 slices of pizza, two cupcakes, five chicken nuggets, 1 taco… holy hell)
Silver Total: 2710 calories
Silver team easily wins the temptation due to Carla’s ridiculous binge. Joelle will be going home and will be taking her trainer Bob with her. This should be interesting after Bob went psycho on her last week. He hopes to warn Carla that Joelle’s close to the bottom lately. Mandi gets upset because she can’t deal with Joelle celebrating. Apparently, Mandi deserves to go home because she has kids.
When they get to Detroit, Carla says she’s been staying positive. Then Bob drops the news on Carla, who takes it about as well as we would expect from her.
Mandi’s working out on the treadmill, and all of a sudden she hits a wall and starts crying. Jillian thinks it’s mostly an emotional wall rather than a physical one.
Back in Detroit, Carla and Joelle are working out with Bob, and Carla wants to use the time to convince Joelle she needs to work harder. Eventually, Carla’s harping on the issue just pisses off Joelle. So then Carla gets angry as well. They’re wasting their 2700 calorie workout arguing… and arguing… and arguing. Carla seems to be of the opinion that increased volume make her point more valid. Then at dinner we go back to this same shrieking again. Joelle is mostly just getting tired of hearing Carla’s voice.
They go to meet the doctor again. Blaine was on 8 medications when he started. He’s managed to get rid of all of them already, which will save him $733,000 over the course of his life. Ron’s down from 10 pills to just 1 and a fraction of his insulin.
The challenge is to jump over the beam as it swings toward them. The last winner of this challenge lasted over 40 minutes. Immunity is up for grabs. Joelle is out on the very first jump. Ron makes it to the second. Dan makes it to the third. Helen makes it one further. This is an endurance competition? Damien’s out after 57 jumps. Filipe makes just over 100 jumps. Mandi is out after 141 jumps. With three people left, it gets faster at 200 jumps. Dane’s eliminated just shy of 2 hours. It’s down to Kristin and Tara, who have hit 1000 jumps. Shortly after the 1000 mark, Tara wins at 2 hours 19 minutes. Tara wins immunity again. Her secret was remaining hydrated by throwing up in her mouth.
Tara: 264 pounds (-8, 2.94%, immune)
Helen: 231 pounds (-6, 2.53%)
Mandi: 237 pounds (-8, 3.27%)
Joelle: 288 pounds (-6, 2.04%)
Filipe: 324 pounds (-14, 4.14%)
Mike: 348 pounds (-11, 3.06%)
Ron: 377 pounds (-9, 2.33%)
Brown Total: -20 pounds, 2.68%
Blaine: 323 pounds (-12, 3.58%)
Dane: 360 pounds (-18, 4.76%)
Black Total: -30 pounds, 4.21%
Damien: 351 pounds (-4, 1.13%)
Dan: 406 pounds (-15, 3.56%)
Kristin: 324 pounds (-7, 2.11%)
That puts Joelle and Damien below the yellow line. Jillian’s team has the control to take out the bigger threat and leave someone in who’s not functioning well within her team and who’s not sure she wants to be there. However, the mood in the house has been heavily against Joelle for weeks.
Votes
Filipe: Joelle
Mike & Ron: Joelle
Kristin: Joelle
Helen: Joelle
Blaine & Dane: Damien
Tara: Damien
Mandi: Damien
Dan: Damien
With the votes tied, Damien (along with his partner Nicole) has been eliminated since he had the lowest percentage of weight loss. Joelle lives for another week, whether she likes it or not. Nicole is down 76 pounds, while Damien has lost 74 pounds.

Why didn’t the orange team participate in the temptation?

I hadn’t noticed that until you pointed it out, but now that you mention it, it appears they didn’t join in. I haven’t heard anything to indicate why.
