Jen hit a plateau and was eliminated in The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 13 after losing no weight, which according to her trainer was because she did not have a workout with him.
Although her team is now gone, Courtney asks Olivia, Hannah, and Irene to support her.
Each team will have a flag. The team that plants their flag closest to a mile away will win. Their reward will be a night of luxury, Hollywood style. For anyone who does not win, they will have to clean the campus. They all depend upon the assumption that they know how long their paces are. Green team based their decision on Ken’s paces. Courtney is alone, doing her own thing. Black team tries to have one person doing normal paces while the others try to count footsteps, but the two going slowly realize halfway through that they don’t have the time to do that. Blue team will all be trying to do their own paces and go from there. Olivia hits her mark. Irene’s still got a couple hundred to go, so they proceed forward. Moses is way behind when he hits his spot, but they can’t see nor hear him when he tries to stop. Green team did not win. Courtney did not win either. The difference between first and second place is 4 feet. Black team wins, in spite of their fear that they were 1/4 of a mile off their target.
Bob’s happy with the fact that his team has to clean. Good way to burn calories. Black team joins him in the gym, minus Rulon. That means Rulon’s getting a lecture from Jillian. His justification for eating junk is that he wants it, and he works hard. While his concept is not flawed, 900 calories of chips is excessive. Although Jillian would prefer he reward himself with non-food things, she’s willing to work with him and teach him to eat in moderation.
During the training session, the black team has decided to hide their reward from Jillian until the last possible second. They are not at all surprised to find out that she considers their prize to be more of a punishment.
The black team goes to Hollywood to see the sights. Of course, along the way, they have to stop by Geisha House, Mike Boogie’s restaurant. While there, they seem to make smart choices. In the middle of dinner, a guy walks up to meet them, or at least to meet Hannah. If that wasn’t his intention, it is now, as Jay and Rulon decide to leave them alone. Very subtle. Hannah has now decided she feels comfortable saying she’s pretty.
Courtney’s worried that she’ll continue with her plateau. If she’s below the yellow line, she’s gone, no need for a vote. Then she wonders what will happen to Brett. I’m sure they’ll find something to do with him, although I never could quite figure out why there are two new trainers this season.
Hannah: 168 pounds (-4, 2.33%)
Jay: 270 pounds (-6, 2.17%)
Rulon: 318 pounds (-7, 2.15%)
Black Total: 756 pounds (-17, 2.20%)
Olivia: 174 pounds (-2, 1.14%)
Moses: 286 pounds (-7, 2.39%)
Irene: 164 pounds (-6, 3.53%)
Blue Total: 624 pounds (-15, 2.35%)
Ken: 253 pounds (-4, 1.56%)
Kaylee: 168 pounds (-1, 0.59%)
Austin: 263 pounds (-2, 0.75%)
Green Total: 684 pounds (-7, 1.01%)
Courtney: 231 pounds (-1, 0.43%)
Black and blue teams did well, but the green team put up lackluster numbers. In spite of that, Courtney’s struggles mark the third red team member elimination in a row, as she is automatically eliminated because she is the last team member standing. She retains her positive mental attitude, in spite of all the emotions from the trainers, fellow contestants, even Alison. She departs with three friends for life. But she’s not the only person leaving tonight. With nobody left to train, Brett will have to say goodbye as well.
From her starting weight of 323 pounds, Courtney is down 113 pounds to 210 pounds today, for a grand total loss of 225 pounds. Her family owns a Dairy Queen, and she hopes that DQ will be able to get more healthy choices on the menu. More power to her, and certainly the market is potentially there, though I just don’t think of Dairy Queen and healthy in the same sentence.
