The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 10

Posted by Shane on Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 7:45 pm

After placing last in the challenge in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 9, Arthur found himself having to swap teams, becoming the sacrificial lamb when his new team lost the weigh in.

The teams are asked to pick captains to lead them this week. These captains will have to inspire them, lead them, and make a lot of important decisions, sometimes on their own. Justin will lead the red team; Marci will lead the black team.

Only one person from each team can be in the kitchen. Olivia will cook for the black team; Ken will cook for the red team. The drawback to this is that they have to cater to their teams’ nutritional needs, which is going to be critical to the weigh in, even if it takes away from their own time to be able to head to the gym.

Only two people can workout with the trainers that first day. Sarah and Hannah are picked for the black team, which Hannah takes offense to and gets an attitude about. Ken and Kaylee workout for the red team.

Sarah’s car accident, which led to her having the highest body fat percentage of anyone in the show, is all news to Bob. Her workout leads to vomiting, not usually something we see two months into the season.

Hannah finally accepts the fact that she can sprint on the treadmill, and it won’t kill her.

Kaylee’s rough time at home shows that, regardless of her performance thus far, she still hasn’t learned what she needs to learn to keep the weight off when she goes home for good. That said, her dad struggled, too, an indication that the environment is not a healthy one.

The challenge is to race on Step 360s across a field and through obstacles without touching the ground. In a balance oriented challenge, the all female team not only has a shot but perhaps an advantage. The winning team will share $6,000. Justin and Marci will determine where their teams line up. Two people start with them at the beginning, and they will then be joined by one teammate at 30 yards, 50 yards, and 70 yards. Marci sits her daughter out of the competition, which upsets Courtney, who was looking forward to participating in the challenge. Justin, Austin, and Kaylee start off, and they will pick up Rulon, Moses, and then Ken. Marci starts with Olivia and Jen, and they will pick up Hannah, Sarah, and Irene.

Red team is the first to make their way to the 30 yard mark. They’re also the first to the 50 yard mark, where they pick up Moses, whose foot touches the ground. That will send them back to the start of the last obstacle. This allows the black team to be the first to get to the 70 yard mark, but as they struggle to get there, their lead disappears. Red team’s about to overtake the black team, but this time Ken touches the mud, sending them back again. Black team wins the challenge.

At the weigh in, the red team goes first.

Justin: 254 pounds (-8, 3.05%)
Rulon: 342 pounds (-8, 2.29%)
Moses: 309 pounds (-8, 2.52%)
Kaylee: 174 pounds (-5, 2.79%)
Austin: 283 pounds (-6, 2.08%)
Ken: 277 pounds (-9, 3.15%)
Red Total: 1639 pounds (-44, 2.61%)

Following a lackluster at home performance, the red team returns with decent numbers.

Marci: 162 pounds (-5, 2.99%)
Courtney: 241 pounds (-5, 2.03%)
Irene: 180 pounds (-5, 2.70%)
Sarah: 190 pounds (-4, 2.06%)
Olivia: 188 pounds (-2, 1.05%)
Hannah: 180 pounds (-2, 1.10%)
Jen: 196 pounds (-1, 0.51%)
Black Total: 1337 pounds (-24, 1.76%)

The black team has lost the weigh in. Marci wants to sacrifice herself for the team. This time, it would actually make sense, unlike the last time when the black team parents sacrificed themselves and in the process just made the road far more difficult for their entire team. Ah, but there’s a problem. They cannot vote out this week’s Biggest Loser from their team. That would be Marci.

Votes
Marci: Olivia
Hannah: Sarah
Jen: Sarah
Courtney: Sarah
Sarah: Jennifer
Olivia: Sarah

On the list of people who are ready to leave, Sarah’s probably near the bottom, but she became what Arthur intended weeks ago when he made the swap: the sacrificial lamb. At least she went out on a strong note, having seemed to hit her turning point this week with Bob. From her starting weight of 261 pounds, she’s now down 92 pounds to 169.
