In an abridged The Biggest Loser Season 13 Episode 4, Gail’s failure to peform finally led to her departure. I suspect we’re in for more interruptions yet again tonight with the Florida polls closing at 8, but with the results being known so early, Brian Williams tells us he’s going to stop talking soon.
Having been off the ranch and at home for 30 days, the aqua team is back. Pulling them away before they could get in the house was a bit cruel, but the challenge they have faced is both fair and easily doable. Sure, for people who don’t really want to do it, it’s simple to come up with any of a number of excuses, but those who put their minds to it merely need to learn to say no occasionally and do some basic math about what they’re putting in their bodies.
Daphne: 245 pounds (-26, 9.59%)
Adrian: 336 pounds (-34, 9.19%)
Having lost a total of 60 pounds, the aqua team has earned a second chance to come back into the game. By the way, you will now be separated. They both want to be with Bob. After a game of rock, paper, scissors, Daphne joins Bob’s black team. As long as they do not gain weight, they will be immune.
Meanwhile, everybody around them is making an extra effort to whine, especially Kim and Conda (who doesn’t like anybody). It’s not fair. It’s just not fair. Get used to it. The twists are just getting started.
Adrian tells the story about how hard he’s been working while he’s been home. He has been working out 14 hours a day.
Hoping to avoid a repeat of last week, Chris starts kissing up to the boys who voted to get rid of her last week after she talked about quitting. Daphne lucked out. She walked into a team divided. That makes her less likely to be target number one.
Conda has decided she can’t stand Adrian. Welcome to the club. I assume the feeling is mutual.
At the challenge, the teams will bounce balls over a wall that the contestants on the other side will catch and run through the sand to put in a net. The team that wins will be able to choose one player from each team whose weight will not count. Roy and Chism sit out for medical reasons. Nancy sits out for the red team. It’s a back and forth battle throughout the first half of the challenge. Eventually, things fall apart for the black team, though, and the red team builds a huge lead. Red team wins the challenge.
Red team calls an intervention. Mark fears that the cattiness will impact them as a team. Nancy inquires whether anybody there is in the eighth grade. I’ve got an idea. Get rid of Conda like you should have weeks ago. That should solve your issues, and those of the viewers. In any event, the intervention fails.
When confronted by Dolvett, Adrian pretends that everything is fine within the team. Not one to take the BS, Dolvett calls his own intervention. They make an effort to pretend to respect his input.
Having won the challenge, the red team can choose one person to sit out of the weigh in from each team. Megan will sit out for the black team; Nancy will sit out for the red team.
Nancy: 196 pounds (-4, 2.00%)
Megan: 229 pounds (-9, 3.78%)
Both of their picks look like they were pretty good.
Daphne: 244 pounds (-1, 0.41%, immune)
Chism: 318 pounds (-2, 0.63%)
Emily: 230 pounds (-5, 2.13%)
Chris: 211 pounds (-4, 1.86%)
Cassandra: 200 pounds (-6, 2.91%)
Jeremy: 338 pounds (-9, 2.59%)
Black Total: 1541 pounds (-27, 1.72%)
Darian: 334 pounds (-2, 0.60%, immune)
Kim: 215 pounds (-5, 2.27%)
Kimmy: 193 pounds (-4, 2.03%)
Roy: 268 pounds (-4, 1.47%)
Mark: 251 pounds (-4, 1.57%)
Buddy: 345 pounds (-8, 2.27%)
Conda: 263 pounds (-2, 0.75%)
Red Total: 1869 pounds (-29, 1.53%)
In hindsight, their Megan pick was spot on, not surprising after she lost 2 pounds last week. However, the Nancy pick was not the best, as 4 people lost a lower percentage of weight. If they had sat out Adrian instead of Nancy, red team would have won, but there’s no way anybody could have predicted that result.
Despite the low numbers, the black team manages to pull out the win. Brother and sister land with a thud, both saying there’s too much food in the house, but it’s moot since they are immune. As the person with the highest percentage of weight loss on the losing team, Kim is safe.
Mark takes the opportunity to point out that Adrian’s weight loss is suspicious and that he thinks he’s playing the game. Is this really the best time to discuss this? You can’t vote for him. I’m not so sure I buy into the game playing theory anyway. We’ve seen people gain 17 pounds in a week before. In this scenario, you gain weight, you lose immunity, and you go home. Too much of a risk for me, though certainly plausible.
Can we finally get rid of Conda?
