Falling below the red line in The Biggest Loser Season 9 Episode 17, Sunshine was eliminated.
Allison sends everybody home. She looks forward to seeing them in 30 days.
Everybody will be doing another marathon. The bikes are gone. They will be doing this on foot. The winner will be able to give $10,000 to the charity of their choice. Ashley and Michael have decided to run the marathon together.
Curtis Stone may have been eliminated from The Celebrity Apprentice (and was off the show for like 5 minutes), but he’s back on The Biggest Loser to visit Daris, who won him after losing the most weight last week. He’s adding four items to the menu of Daris’ favorite restaurant so that he can go out and hang out with his friends.
It’s almost 1AM, and what’s Daris doing? Eating due to stress. And eating and eating some more. Hopefully you don’t fall off that wagon too many times, dude.
Koli’s in Vegas, where he’s training with his friend at a mixed martial arts facility. All he’s doing is working out and sleeping. His focus is winning the show. It’s too crazy at home. So what’s he going to do when he has to leave for good?
Jillian’s in a helicopter trying to find Daris. There’s not an airport for miles.
Bob hopes he can convince Michael’s little sister Rosangela to get on the program and start dropping some weight like her brother has.
When it’s time to run that marathon, there’s some good news. It’s raining. That oughta make it just a little bit more fun. Doesn’t look like the rain will last long, and I doubt Koli will remain freezing either. Daris heads into the lead right away. Koli’s running in second. They can’t see Mike or Ashley behind them. At mile 13, Daris runs into Matt, the winner from season 2, who’s in kinda sorta okay shape. Also at the halfway point, Koli meets Sione, who along with Filipe inspired Koli to be on the show. At mile 11, Mike and Ashley are greeted by season 5 winner Ali, who looks great as always. Then they meet Mike from season 7. Daris has two goals: beat Tara’s record of 4 hours and 55 minutes, and furthermore get down to around 4 hours. For the last mile, he’s joined by his sister, briefly. He takes off and leaves her behind. In a time of 4:02:12, Daris finishes the marathon first. Koli is greeted at mile 25 by his sister. He finishes the race second at 6:08:09. Mike and Ashley are still together at mile marker 25, where her brother and his sister and waiting. They cross the finish line at 6:26:18.
Now there’s just one thing left to do. That’s the final weigh-in. The two people above the yellow line will be in the finals, while the other two will depend on America’s vote.
Michael: 299 pounds (-23, 7.14%)
Koli: 218 pounds (-13, 5.63%)
Ashley: 213 pounds (-18, 7.79%)
Daris: 197 (+2, 1.03%)
Ouch. Daris gained 2 pounds while at home for a month. He claims it’s because he concentrated more on training for a marathon. Bob doesn’t get this logic. You don’t gain weight by running a lot. It’s obvious that his diet is just not up to snuff. In addition to Daris, Koli has fallen below the yellow line, leaving their fates up to America. I’d have bet on Daris before these results, but he may have just cost himself a finale appearance. Ashley and Michael are definitely going to be in the final three.
