After the older group lost again in The Biggest Loser Season 12 Episode 2, they voted out Johnny following his weight gain.
Those who remain in the blue team say that Johnny was taking too much of Anna’s time.
This is NFL week. At the end of the week, the player with the highest percentage of weight loss wins a trip to the Super Bowl. They start off on a football field, where they are joined by Clay Matthews, Tony Gonzalez, and Drew Brees. Jennifer will sit out of the challenge due to medical reasons. Their task will be to toss balls through their opponents’ cardboard stomachs to knock them over. It’s a pretty simple task because they can walk right up to make the throw, except for the NFL players who receive handicaps. John is the first one out. Then Drew Brees. Tony Gonzalez follows him. Becky is next. Clay Matthews is the last of the NFL players to go. Sunny is next. Antone used to be an NFL player, and he, too, falls without hitting a target. Mike is done. Then Joe. And Bonnie. Nothing but red team left. Ramon is out. Jessica is next. Patrick is the next one down. Vinny misses, giving Courtney the opportunity to knock him out and win the challenge and $5,000.
Jennifer’s MRI shows that her stress fracture is 100% healable, but it will take a few weeks before she can start a more intense exercise program.
Their next challenge will consist of 4 quarters of 15 minutes each with 10 minutes of rest in between. The team with the highest average of calories burned wins. Reward is a spa day. Bob wants to focus on Jennifer. His goal is to prove that she can still burn calories even with the bum leg. After one quarter, the black team has the lead with 283 calories, followed by red team with 238 and then blue team with 183. The second quarter is more of the same, as is the third quarter. After the challenge is done, the blue team has burned an average of 764 calories (191 per quarter), red team has burned an average of 952 calories (238 per quarter), and the black team wins with 1171 calories (293 per quarter). They decline the prize, a smart thing to do because a spa day has the potential to be counterproductive.
Their last surprise of the week is a last chance workout with NFL players in their age groups: Shawne “Lights Out” Merriman, Eric Dickerson, and Tim Tebow.
Vinny realized at a young age that his home was different than others. Whoopins aren’t supposed to leave bruises and welts. The image of him getting his nose broken and his mom asking what he did to cause it will always stick with him. I’d say the hate he’s feeling toward her is a very fair emotion.
Courtney: 240 pounds (-7, 2.83%)

Jennifer: 289 pounds (-16, 5.246%)
John: 375 pounds (-18, 4.58%)
Black Total: 1605 pounds (-77, 4.58%)
Bonnie: 240 pounds (-7, 2.83%)

Mike: 273 pounds (-17, 5.86%)

In a reversal of fortune, the blue team survives this week unscathed, although the black team wins again. As The Biggest Loser for this week, Mike from Indiana will be going to Indianapolis to see whatever Roman numeral Super Bowl number 46 is. With the highest percentage of weight loss on the losing team, Jessica is safe.
It would be tough to pinpoint any of the red team as a weak link. So then it comes down to a question of need. By process of elimination, that would bring us to Courtney. However, Patrick puts his hands up to go home.
