Another person who previously talked about going home, Chandra, was the latest person to be voted out in The Biggest Loser Season 16 Episode 3.
If you were enjoying 2 hour episodes of this show… tough. That is now over. We now return to our regularly scheduled squeeze it into the schedule wherever it will fit but not very well programming.
They are welcomed to The Biggest Loser lottery. One person will be going home for the week, and their weight loss will be the only one that counts for their team. They will also bring trainer with them, removing that access from the others. Is that a prize or a punishment?
As the person whose name is called last, Damien will be heading home this week along with Jessie. The silver lining, if there is one, is that Damien lost the most weight on his team for each of the last two weeks, and he seems the most likely to have a strong performance.
An injured Blake can only do low impact workouts. Of course, nutrition is more than half the battle.
Chandra is seeing Emmy able to do more than she is doing. I’m not thinking that’s a good sign, though it’s not guaranteed to be the determining factor either.
Damien’s mom died suddenly two years ago. He says that is a large part of his weight problem. At least they have identified an issue that is serving as a barrier.
First the Comeback Canyon weigh in.
Emmy: 239 pounds (-4, 1.65%)
Chandra: 317 pounds (-7, 2.16%)
After Chandra’s terrible 1 pound weight loss last week, it was pretty easy for her to put up a big number, and Emmy will be going home, though she’s already at a pretty reasonable weight relative to most of these people.
Now to the ranch.
Blake: 216 pounds (-8, 3.57%)
Jordan: 279 pounds (-10, 3.46%)
Scott: 315 pounds (-7, 2.17%)
Mike: 333 pounds (-10, 2.92%)
Rob: 421 pounds (-12, 2.77%)
Red Total: 1564 pounds (-47, 2.92%)
We are only four weeks in, but Mike has already lost enough weight to get off all his diabetes medications.
Rondalee: 250 pounds (-5, 1.96%)
Matt: 336 pounds (-10, 2.89%)
Woody: 361 pounds (-11, 2.96%)
Toma: 291 pounds (-11, 3.64%)
Sonya: 240 pounds (-9, 3.61%)
JJ: 347 pounds (-16, 4.41%)
White Total: 1825 pounds (-62, 3.29%)
Jackie: 267 (-4, 1.48%)
Gina: 217 pounds (-4, 1.81%)
Lori: 276 pounds (-8, 2.82%)
Damien: 344 pounds (-14, 3.91%)
Blue Total: 1104 pounds (-30, 2.65%)
Taking into account everyone’s weight (I’m pretty sure I got all the ladies right, since they sped through them in about 20 seconds since they did not count), the blue team would have lost the weigh in this week. However, Damien put up the second highest number of all, saving them and sending the red team to elimination instead. As The Biggest Loser on the losing team, Blake is safe, demonstrating just how important nutrition is to the equation.
Votes
Blake: Mike
Jordan: Mike
Rob: Jordan
Scott: Mike
Mike volunteered to go home for his team, as he considers them like his children, though Rob could not bring himself to vote that way. With 3 votes Mike is not The Biggest Loser.
From her starting weight of 260 pounds, Emmy is down 50 pounds to 210 today. She’s now running a 5K every month with her whole family.
