Cate was the first member of Dolvett’s team to be eliminated in The Biggest Loser Season 14 Episode 3 and also the first person overall to be voted out since the first three people who left did so without facing a vote.
She is not the only one leaving the ranch tonight. Three more people will be. It’s not the conclusion everyone is jumping to, though. Rather, it’s the trainers, who are headed to visit the kids for the week, leaving the contestants behind on their own.
One of the first things Bob learns is that Biingo’s mom has lost 27 pounds. She’s on the same program as he is, and she’s seeing progress by improving her lifestyle as well. It’s easy to blame video games and TV, but ultimately the reason these kids are obese is because bad food habits have been passed down from their parents who are shopping and cooking for them.
Jackson takes control of the red team’s cardio workout. Not only does he do a good job, but for a change he’s not throwing up.
Sunny is cracking under the pressure. She says there’s too much to do now, and her test grades are falling. Jillian suggests they discuss trying new things with her mom, but she’s scared.
Like Biingo, Lindsay’s journey has also turned into a family affair, as she’s eating and working out with her mother and sister. She quit her middle school cheerleading team because the kids made fun of her, so Dolvett takes her to get some inspiration from the high school cheerleaders.
The contestants are running a 5k (about 3 miles). The winning team will be splitting $15,000, while second place is $5,000 and third place is $2,500. The team with the average fastest time wins. Danni quickly pulls away from the pack, though Joe is breathing down her neck. She easily takes first place. Joe’s behind her. Pam places third, which guarantees the white team will win. Not the result I would have expected given how overdramatic they are in Jillian’s workouts. With red shirts coming in behind them, the red team places second.
1st: Danni
2nd: Joe
3rd: Pam
4th: Francelina
5th: Lisa
6th: Jackson
7th: Gina
8th: Jeff
9th: Michael
10th: Alex
Since Sunny has mentioned wanting to try new things and not just what her parents expect, Jillian will be taking her rowing. It’s a learning experience for Jillian as well, giving the coach plenty of chances to correct her. When they get back, it’s time to confront the mom, who tells her that no matter what she won’t be a disappointment.
For his surprise, Biingo heads to Harry Grove Stadium, where minor league baseball team Frederick Keys play. He’s able to learn how to pitch with the team’s pitcher.
In each instance, their goal was simple: show the kids that exercise can be fun.
Jackson whipped the red team into shape, the white team seems to be doing well for a change… but the blue team is not so upbeat.
With just one day to workout with his trainer, Joe is not particularly interested in pushing himself. So he walks out of the gym. At least he pulls it together and heads back inside, though.
Jeff was looking forward to working out with Bob again. Bad news then. Jillian’s the one training him today. He doesn’t like her, and he has no interest in cooperating or showing her any respect. She’s happy to return back to her white team, which is willing to train as they’re told.

After a week in which the white team played proudly, this is an anti-climactic result, but considering her huge weight loss last week it’s not a big surprise. With only two team members on the losing team, Pam has been eliminated.
From her starting weight of 237 pounds, Pam is down 55 pounds to 182. She didn’t make it to makeover week, so she decided to giver herself a makeover.
