In the super rushed The Biggest Loser Season 15 Episode 1, nothing of consequence happened because Jillian used her veto to save Craig after her fell below the red line.
Craig tells a story about how his father died when he was 32, just a couple years older than Craig is.
Dr. H has some news for Ruben. He has diabetes, which can be reversed, but he will have to put in the hard work to do so.
Bob’s facial hair is getting out of control. Somebody needs to participate in makeover week.
This week, only one person’s weight will count for the entire team. That person will be chosen by the roll of a die. The team that wins the challenge will get a second die so that they have two people to choose between.
At the challenge, they are tied together to run back and forth and roll dice dictating how many buckets of water they can use to fill a tank. Though speed has the potential to play a small role, the end result mostly comes down to dumb luck. The blue team ends up winning the challenge.
When he came to the ranch, Hap’s wife was 8.5 months pregnant. That makes today the first time he gets to see his new child by video chat.
The trainers roll dice prior to the weigh in. Dolvett hopes for Rachel or Jennifer, but he rolls Tanya, disappointing both himself and her. Jillian rolls Fernanda, the worst case scenario for both of them. Bob rolls Chelsea, who is not happy and Hap, which thrills both of them, so Hap will represent the blue team.
Chelsea: 223 pounds (-6, 2.62%)
Holley: 325 pounds (-10, 2.99%)
Matt: 325 pounds (-8, 2.40%)
Bobby: 328 pounds (-10, 2.96%)
Hap: 373 pounds (-13, 3.37%)
Blue Total: 1574 pounds (-47, 2.90%)
I will say this for these abridged episodes. It’s nice not to have to go to commercial 12 times during a weigh in.
Craig: 361 pounds (-11, 2.96%)
Marie: 235 pounds (-5, 2.08%)
Tumi: 305 pounds (-8, 2.62%)
Jay: 263 pounds (-11, 4.01%)
Fernanda: 236 pounds (-2, 0.84%)
White Total: 1392 pounds (-37, 2.59%)
Jennifer: 246 pounds (-9, 3.53%)
Ruben: 431 pounds (-10, 2.27%)
Rachel: 231 pounds (-8, 3.35%)
David: 360 pounds (-11, 2.96%)
Tanya: 242 pounds (-4, 1.63%)
Red Total: 1510 pounds (-42, 2.71%)
Tanya has a bad weak, but she gets lucky when Fernanda has a terrible week, though such a number is not overly surprising for week two. Even without the twist, the white team would have lost the weigh in. As the person with the lowest percentage of weight loss on the losing team, Fernanda has fallen below the red line.
