Following another slow week, Emmy was voted out in The Biggest Loser Season 16 Episode 2.
The trainers have a surprise for the contestants. They have hung pictures in the gym of them from their glory days, like when they scored four touchdowns in a single game (in high school football).
During the workout, Lori breaks down. She wants to see her family. It’s been two whole weeks.
Alison warns them about a double header. There will be two challenges this week. The first challenge will be a quiz on what they are able to learn about nutrition in 5 minutes. It is a multiple (two) choice quiz. They must answer over or under about various food content. The team with the most points wins a two pound advantage. If they get the answer wrong… their trainer must eat the food. Though Jen does have to eat one heavy meal, the white team easily wins the challenge.
The second double header challenge has double the prize, a four pound advantage. Each team must pedal 24.8 miles with the resistance set to be an uphill climb. Woody sits out for the white team. There are four bikes for each team, leaving one extra person as a sub. Red team is the first team to 5 miles and then 10 miles. White team is falling behind. Blue team takes the lead at the 15 mile mark. Then red drops into third. Around the half hour mark, white team’s strategy of frequently swapping two people starts to pay off, and they take the lead.
White team wins another challenge, giving them a six pound advantage on the scale. Either that, or they can take letters from home. They keep the advantage, and the other teams get letters from home.
Now the Comeback Canyon contestants weigh in.
Andrea: 220 pounds (-4, 1.79%)
Emmy: 243 pounds (-6, 2.41%)
With her highest percentage weight loss to date, Emmy wins the weigh in, and Andrea is not The Biggest Loser.
Then it’s back to the ranch for the main weigh in.
Matt: 346 pounds (-7, 1.98%)
Rondalee: 255 pounds (-3, 1.16%)
Woody: 372 pounds (-4, 1.06%)
JJ: 363 pounds (-3, 0.82%)
Toma: 302 pounds (-6, 1.95%)
Sonya: 249 pounds (-4, 1.58%)
White Total: 1887 pounds (-27, -6, 1.72%)
Rob: 433 pounds (-5, 1.14%)
Blake: 224 pounds (-3, 1.32%)
Jordan: 289 pounds (-4, 1.37%)
Mike: 343 pounds (-9, 2.56%)
Scott: 343 pounds (-9, 3.30%)
Red Total: 1611 pounds (-32, 1.95%)
Damien: 358 pounds (-9, 2.45%)
Lori: 284 pounds (-3, 1.05%)
Jackie: 271 pounds (-2, 0.73%)
Gina: 221 pounds (-1, 0.45%)
Chandra: 324 pounds (-1, 0.31%)
Blue Total: 1458 pounds (-16, 1.09%)
Usually week 2 is the bad one, but this week saw a lot of low numbers instead. The blue team puts up the worst numbers. Is it just me, or is this Jessie guy unnecessarily hard on his team, certain members anyway? As the biggest loser on the losing team, Damien is safe.
Votes
Gina: Chandra
Chandra: Lori
Lori: Jackie
Damien: Chandra
As the player with the lowest percentage of weight loss, with 2 votes, Chandra is not The Biggest Loser. Aside from her low number this week, she has also expressed an interest in going home before. It seems this is Lori’s saving grace.
From her starting weight of 240 pounds, Andrea is down to 180 pounds today. Her husband has also lost 50 pounds.
