With the only vote, Koli voted Victoria out in The Biggest Loser Season 9 Episode 14.
This week they’re going to train with some of the most unfit people in the country. According to Men’s Health magazine, Texas is home to 5 of the 10 fattest cities in America. Everything is bigger in Texas, even the people. The contestants will be going to radio stations and inviting people to join them in a 5k run at the Cotton Bowl.
Each contestant is given a group of people to lead through the race, one small step toward reducing Texas’ $10 billion annual obesity spending.
Bob heads to 24 Hour Fitness to workout with some folks there.
The three people without partners have a theory. They need to stick together. It’s all about the numbers, and they’re down in numbers, with their only hope being that yellow and/or grey are all below the yellow line. They’ve had opportunities to prevent this fate, but failed to act on them.
Alison greets them at the Texas fair. Sometimes you gotta grab the bull by the horns. They won’t have to deal with the great big longhorn. Rather, they will have to catch all the little calves. To win, they have to herd more cattle into their pen than anyone else. Reward is immunity. Sunshine and O’Neal join together to win immunity for O’Neal. Daris gets the first score. Like the yellow team, Sam and Koli are working together so Koli can win immunity. This is precisely why the three singles have to watch their backs. Koli takes the lead at 3. O’Neal keeps falling on the ground, which Sunshine wishes he would not do. Daris may be on his own, but he’s going to see if he can keep pace with the duos. When Daris gets to around 5 and is neck and neck with the others, Michael, hovering at 0, decides to help him out. With 20 seconds left, everybody is tied at 6. With seconds left, grey team wins immunity for Koli.
Jillian meets with Abby from season 8. She heads to a high school to talk to kids, warning them of things like the evils of electronic devices (like the TV they’re watching The Biggest Loser on). During this, one overweight girl gets up to discuss how she doesn’t believe she can be what she wants to be, which Jillian takes as an opportunity to inspire her to make an effort to change.
As O’Neal and Sunshine go to O’Neal’s brother’s funeral, life goes on at the ranch. The others head into the last chance workout for a beating.
Koli: 259 pounds (-1, 0.38%, immune and taking it easy)
Sam: 240 pounds (-6, 2.44%)
Sunshine: 187 pounds (-4, 2.09%)
O’Neal: 265 pounds (-5, 1.85%)
Michael: 343 pounds (-15, 4.19%)
Daris: 214 pounds (-5, 2.28%)
Ashley: 248 pounds (-6, 2.36%)
That puts father and daughter Sunshine and O’Neal below the yellow line. Strategically, the choice is a toss up, although neither is likely to win. Does the father fall on the sword for his daughter, or does the person who needs to be there more stick around? He asks for everybody to vote for him.
Votes
Ashley: O’Neal
Sam: O’Neal
Koli: O’Neal
Respecting his wishes, everybody votes to send O’Neal home. With 3 votes, O’Neal is not The Biggest Loser. From his starting weight of 389 pounds, O’Neal is now down to 250 pounds and is able to put on his own shoes, walk around at work, and be held by his wife on their motorcycle.
