In one of the most ridiculous displays in the history of the show, the entire black team threw the weigh-in in The Biggest Loser Season 13 Episode 8 in an effort to get rid of Daphne, who also gained weight for the sake of leaving the house and drama, a request her team happily granted.
Alison warns them they’re not done yet, and she calls the red team into the elimination room. It’s time to face all of their excuses. Everybody is going home tomorrow. They will be there for 18 days. This long time could perhaps negate the black team’s huge advantage of having lost next to nothing last week. For each person who loses 5% of their body weight, that person will be immune. If everybody accomplishes this goal, there will be no elimination.
Their challenge is to row 10,000 meters. Reward is $1 per meter. Rowing machines are delivered to each of their homes so they can begin right now. Chism is the first to hit 3000 meters, and Kim is behind him. Jeremy mostly just wants to beat his sister sitting next to him. Mark started off slower than the others but manages to overtake Kim. At the 7300 mark, he starts to look to take the lead from his son. They’re neck and neck heading into the final 1000. What happens after that, we’ll have to wait to find out.
With the challenge over, so begins the lengthy discussion of how everything is a temptation.
When they return to the ranch, before they weigh in, they get the results of the competition. Places 4-11 are Emily, Jeremy, Megan, Conda, Kimmy, Cassandra, Buddy, and Chris. Chism beats his dad by 7 seconds, and Kim places third.
Buddy: 294 pounds (-23, 7.26%, immune)
Jeremy: 289 pounds (-20, 6.47%, immune)
Kimmy: 169 pounds (-10, 5.59%, immune)
Mark: 215 pounds (-11, 4.87%)
Kim: 186 pounds (-7, 3.63%)
Red Total: 1153 pounds (-71, 5.80%)
Conda: 231 pounds (-14, 5.71%, immune)
Emily: 199 pounds (-17, 7.87%, immune)
Megan: 205 pounds (-12, 5.53%, immune)
Chris: 185 pounds (-11, 5.61%, immune)
Cassandra: 175 pounds (-13, 6.91%, immune)
Chism: 282 pounds (-11, 3.75%)
Black Total: 1277 pounds (-78, 5.76%)
After the black team loses by 1 pound, as the only person without immunity on his team, Chism has been eliminated. His father begs them to let him fall on his sword instead, but those are the rules. If he really wanted things to be different, he should have thrown the weigh in. Chism realizes this is inevitable and accepts that he will just have to keep going at home.
