The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 5

As the teammates returned to the ranch, Dan and Dave were sent home in The Biggest Loser Couples 2 Episode 4.

Because it was too difficult to get it done last week, it’s time for the at home contestants to weigh in now. The winner of the weigh-in will get immunity for their team for the week. Other than that, it doesn’t seem to matter whether they lost anything while at home.

Shanon: 255 pounds (-15, 5.56%, crying, I’m still waiting for NBC to make up their minds whether there is one n or two in her name)

Laura: 265 pounds (-7, 2.57%, crying)

Cathy: 273 pounds (-8, 2.85%, happy)

Aubrey: 234 pounds (-2, 0.85%, full of excuses Jillian doesn’t want to hear)

Carla: 348 pounds (-20, 5.43%, happy)

Sione: 324 pounds (-25, 7.16%, less excited than the excessively loud Filipe)

The blue team wins immunity.

Sione seems like he hasn’t left. He’s come back stronger and faster than he was when he left and is putting the others to shame.

Aubrey says she was in the gym at least 4-5 hours a day but didn’t do good on food. Jillian tells her that her most important lesson is to ask for help.

Carla and Joelle are failing to work like a team still, but at least Carla’s less loud about it.

They’re tied to their partners and must unwrap enough rope to make it across the finish line, which they will do by jumping up and over a pipe. The winning team will be able to choose $5,000 or a 2 pound advantage. Joelle wants the cash, but everybody else probably is going for the weight. Ron and Mike have a strategy of going as fast as they can without injuring themselves, which may be a taller task than they may have anticipated. All the other teams seem to be doing a decent job. Yellow and green are the first to make a break for it. Green’s not even close and has to return. The other teams make a dash for it and are on yellow’s heels, but Mandi and Aubrey win the challenge with just enough slack. This was a fairly silly challenge. No doubt somebody else did a lot better.

Joelle’s back to her old ways, and having Carla back hasn’t helped her any. Carla, however, is really trying to get it done.

Shanon screams and cries throughout the workout but just keeps going anyway. Bob has Sione hop on her back so that she can carry him across the gym.

At the weigh-in, the yellow team opts for the 2 pound advantage.

Filipe: 308 pounds (-3)
Sione: 316 pounds (-8)
Blue Total: 624 pounds, (-11, 1.73%, immune)

Mandi: 221 pounds (-6)
Aubrey: 224 pounds (-10)
Yellow Total: 445 pounds (-16, -2, 3.90%)

Carla: 339 pounds (-9)
Joelle: 278 pounds (no change)
Silver Total: 617 pounds (-9, 1.44%)

The house hates Joelle. Again/still.

Blaine: 303 pounds (-9)
Dane: 334 pounds (-11)
Black Total: 637 pounds (-20, 3.04%)

Laura: 252 pounds (-13)
Tara: 240 pounds (-12)
Green Total: 492 pounds (-25, 4.84%)

Mike: 330 pounds (-9)
Ron: 366 pounds (-4)
Brown Total: 696 pounds (-13, 1.83%)

Helen: 216 pounds (-9)
Shanon: 246 pounds (-9)
Pink Total: 462 pounds (-18, 3.75%)

Kristin: 301 pounds (-11)
Cathy: 268 pounds (-5)
Purple Total: 569 pounds (-16, 2.74%)

Because Filipe & Sione have immunity, Mike & Ron have fallen below the yellow line alongside Carla & Joelle. That puts two Bob teams below the yellow line, but with Carla & Joelle as the lowest losers this week, it gives Bob’s team the control they need to boot Joelle this time. Joelle again hesitates when asked the simple yes or no question of whether she wants to be there. Apparently, Carla thinks she’ll do herself some favors by shouting.

Votes
Shanon & Helen: Carla & Joelle
Mandi & Aubrey: Joelle (and Carla, too)
Filipe & Sione: Carla & Joelle
Laura & Tara: Carla & Joelle

Joelle has finally come to the end of her rope. She and Carla still haven’t spoken since leaving the ranch. Such a pitiful team. At the request of the producers, however, they agree to meet. Carla has more screaming to do, but Joelle doesn’t want to listen. Nothing’s changed. Team silver’s dead, and they’re moving forward as individuals. Joelle has lost a total of 57 pounds from her starting weight of 309; Carla has lost 87 pounds from her starting weight of 379.
