Jessica was eliminated in The Biggest Loser Season 10 Episode 9. The remaining contestants have made it to makeover week.
As part of makeover week, the contestants will appear in People Magazine. They’ll also all get visits from home (and act surprised about it). This should burn through about an hour.
Once that’s over, for tonight’s challenge, they have a choice between the easy way or the not so easy way. The train is worth 1 point; walking the stairs is worth 5 points. First player to 100 wins the challenge. Reward is a new car, a Ford Edge. On their first trip, everybody immediately heads for the stairs. Brendan, Ada, and Patrick start off fighting for first place, already tired after one trip, though. Everybody goes back up the stairs for the second time. Ada and Brendan open up a lead over Patrick on the second leg. Elizabeth is the first person to hit the trolley, obviously, after two attempts at the stairs. Ada and Brendan have been running together, but after a few laps, Ada pulls ahead of Brendan. At the midway point, with 50 points, Ada has a 5 point lead and has been climbing for 40 minutes.
Having lapped most of the others, it seems Ada’s got this one locked. Rather than taking her hard earned victory, she stops at the top of the stairs. Brendan catches her and stops, too. They have decided they want to get the car in the right person’s hands. Boring. The right person is the strongest competitor. Do you stop losing weight at the end because somebody else needs $250k more? They have decided to hand the car to the person who would have been third, Patrick. Everybody else follows, but after 70 points, Elizabeth has decided to not finish.
Unlike the others, Ada did not get a visit from her family this week. Walk away I say. Not worth bothering with people who can’t be bothered with you.
At the last chance workout, Elizabeth hops on the stairmaster to complete the challenge she did not finish the night before.
Patrick: 291 pounds (-10, 3.62%)
Elizabeth: 196 pounds (-5, 2.49%)
Brendan: 265 pounds (-7, 2.57%)
Ada: 185 pounds (-5, 2.63%)
Mark: 299 pounds (-10, 3.24%)
Lisa: 228 pounds (no change)
Frado: 263 pounds (-4, 1.50%)
Frado and Lisa have fallen below the yellow line. Frado’s obviously the bigger threat, though his relationships with the rest of the house are solid. If they’re smart, the others will break up Frado’s alliance. Otherwise, the threesome will continue to control the game.
