In spite of being only an hour long, The Biggest Loser Season 11 Episode 17 was not uneventful. First, Rulon decided to quit, in spite of still weighing a hefty 300+ pounds. Then Kaylee was voted out.
They are greeted by Tim Gunn, which means one thing: it’s makeover week. Needless to say, with a 1 hour show again, they’re going to be skipping through fairy tale themed transformations and “surprise” family visits pretty quickly.
So after the makeover, they head to the beach. Alison thinks they might look better in a brand new Mazda 5. They are on the beach with 50 Mazda shaped sand castles. They’ll have to dig up keys and head a quarter mile down the pier. There is not just one car on offer but two. With five people left (I hadn’t even noticed it was that close to over), that leaves them with a 40% chance of winning a new car, the best odds I ever remember seeing. On her second attempt, Irene wins the first car, which she plans to give to her mom Ana. They’re half done in an hour. It’s beginning to seem like they have been Punk’d as the keys dwindle. With the second to last key, Olivia wins the other car.
Then it’s time for the weigh in. The boys better just hope neither of them fall below the yellow line.
Hannah: 154 pounds (-2, 1.28%)
Jay: 255 pounds (-3, 1.16%)
Austin: 236 pounds (-7, 2.88%)
Irene: 152 pounds (-2, 1.30%)
Olivia: 158 pounds (-4, 2.47%) – over 100 pounds lost, and singing
Fairy godfather Tim Gunn is back with his third gift. No yellow line, so nobody is going home this week. Make the most of your third chance, Jay.
