The Biggest Loser Season 13 Episode 8

After losing 9 pounds in The Biggest Loser Season 13 Episode 7, Roy was told by his team that he is not committed to losing weight.

This week’s excuse: lack of self control.

Today, they have a choice. They can control themselves, or they can control this entire game. Sounds like a temptation. On the rotating table ahead of them are their favorite foods. There’s pasta, donuts, Reese’s, Chinese food, the full list of the bad foods that got them where they are today (in doses of double or triple what a normal person would eat). Kimmy loves deer meat. Deer burgers, deer kabobs, deer stew, deer creole, that’s about all I have to say about that. The person who eats the most in 3 minutes can change the teams however they want, and that person will remain anonymous, at least for now.

Mark: 2 plates of venison for 312 calories
Chris: Peanutbutter cups and pizza for 1039 calories
Chism: Nothing
Kimmy: Nothing
Conda: Nothing
Megan: Nothing
Kim: Peanutbutter cups for 210 calories
Emily: Nothing
Cassandra: Pizza and peanutbutter cups for 619 calories (while dramatically shaking the whole time)
Jeremy: Nothing
Daphne: Peanutbutter cups and more peanutbutter cups and more peanutbutter cups for a total of 1890 calories

Daphne is the clear winner, about which nobody would be surprised. She decided to change things. A little. She adds a drama queen to her team and sends her brother to the other team in her place. Jeremy heads to the red team; Conda heads to the black team. That’s it. Very strange. There does not seem to be any strategy or logic behind this move. Her explanation: it was personal. Daphne denies eating, in spite of every finger in the house pointing her way.

They arrive at a shipyard. Each team has a giant puzzle, which they must solve, moving around each of the 200 pound puzzle pieces. Following the switch, the black team is now down to 1 guy with 6 women, giving them a big strength disadvantage, though that doesn’t seem terribly critical in this challenge. Every member of the winning team gets 2 weeks at The Biggest Loser Resort. Daphne immediately volunteers to sit out for the black team, and Chris will sit out as well. Mark will be the eyes for his team; Chism will be the eyes for his team. It’s father against son, but it eventually becomes clear that Chism has no clue what he’s doing. Red team wins the challenge.

Bob suggests that Daphne tell the truth. It’s not like some great big secret seeing as everybody in the house knows. She reluctantly apologizes to people who don’t want to hear what she has to say.

Daphne is under the impression her team is purposely trying to lose the weigh in so that they get rid of her. She is not wrong. Someone needs to be smart about this because the person with the highest percentage of weight loss on the losing team is immune. If Daphne’s the only one making any effort, that will be her.

Jeremy: 309 pounds (-11, 3.44%)
Kim: 193 pounds (-7, 3.50%)
Mark: 226 pounds (-8, 3.42%)
Kimmy: 179 pounds (-5, 2.72%)
Buddy: 317 pounds (-12, 3.65%)
Red Total: 1224 pounds (-43, 3.39%)

Chris: 196 pounds (-5, 2.49%)
Megan: 217 pounds (-2, 0.91%)
Chism: 293 pounds (-5, 1.68%)
Cassandra: 188 pounds (-1, 0.53%)
Emily: 216 pounds (-2, 0.92%)
Conda: 246 pounds (+1, 0.41%)
Daphne: 226 pounds (+2, 0.89%)
Black Total: 1582 pounds (-12, 0.75%)

I was fully prepared to call the black team dumbasses for following Conda’s ridiculously stupid plan to throw the weigh in, which was on course to fail miserably. With Daphne also throwing the weigh in, she’s done. If ever there were no need for either a vote or any discussion, this is it.

Votes
Chris: Chism
Cassandra: Daphne
Emily: Daphne
Megan: Daphne
Daphne: Conda
Conda: Daphne

With 4 votes, Daphne is not The Biggest Loser. So ends a stupid week with much pointless arguing. From her starting weight of 271 pounds, Daphne is now down to 200 pounds.

Stay tuned to dinguRUE for another live recap of The Biggest Loser Season 13 Episode 9, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.

  1. I’ve finally stopped watching the show! Conda does not deserve to be on this show, she has caused all this drama! This show will follow the path of US X Factor. I have watched every season and Now i have stopped. This was once a show that inspired me and I so looked forward to the reveals at the end and now I don’t care! Good Luck! This show will need it,

  2. I never been so disappionted until this season. Where you all find this group of people. The message being sent this year is so negative. The brother and sister that came late on the show never had a chance. You all set them up for failure. By the time they came on the show everyone have already bonded and the opinions was already made. It sad that you all allowed this foolishness to go on. It was ok for the teams to play a unfair game but when the shoe was on the other foot both teams attack even the trainers, NO one had their backs. In my opinion this season should be cancelled and everyone should be sent home especially Conda she has cause so much drama and you all allowed it week after week. This show really helped me get where I am today but I’m done watching your show. Sincerely Yours, A very diappionted FAN

  3. What is up with what used to be a dignified show letting a screwed up low life like Conda run it into the ground?

    This show had raised the bar on weight loss and health. The bar has stooped to such lows it is depressing.

    Disappointing and I suspect the beginning of the end for Biggest Loser which now is the right name for different reasons.
