Following the elimination of Holley in The Biggest Loser Season 15 Episode 7, we were left with a “cliffhanger” that proves predictable in its lameness. Someone else is going home. Jay. Based on the spin of a wheel, he’s going home… to visit his family. Jillian is going with him, and his weight will be what carries or buries the white team.
Rachel had a record time on the swim team in high school, but she has not wanted to get into a bathing suit, let alone swim, in years. This former competitive athlete story is one with great potential to win this whole this whole thing, and she is indeed at the top of the leaderboard so far. Like her, Ali Vincent used to be a swimmer, and she was not that many years off her peak when she came to the show.
Ruben: 392 pounds (-2, 0.51%)
Jennifer: 207 pounds (-4, 1.90%)
Tanya: 212 pounds (-4, 1.85%)
David: 299 pounds (-7, 2.29%)
Rachel: 178 pounds (-5, 2.73%)
Red Total: 1288 pounds (-22, 1.68%)
Hap: 332 pounds (-2, 0.60%)
Matt: 277 pounds (-4, 1.42%)
Chelsea: 185 pounds (-6, 3.14%)
Bobby: 272 pounds (-12, 4.23%)
Blue Total: 1066 pounds (-24, 2.20%)
Marie: 198 pounds (-5, 2.46%)
Tumi: 243 pounds (-7, 2.80%)
Jay: 207 pounds (-12, 5.48%)
White Total: 648 pounds (-24, 3.57%)
With or without the twist, the white team easily won the weigh in. Even without their trainer, Marie and Tumi both put up top numbers. Ruben has fallen below the red line, again. Please, NBC, no more excuses to bring him back.
