Mike made his team’s decision easy in The Biggest Loser Season 16 Episode 4, volunteering to go home to let the younger ones stick around a while longer.
Though he volunteered to be sent home and his team agreed, Mike is actually this season’s biggest loser so far. He should prove to be stiff competition for Chandra or anyone else who follows.
Matt used to be a model, but then he suffered injuries. After that, doctors told him he could not play sports any more, and he turned to food instead.
They are all about to cross a canyon while suspended 100 feet in the air and will have to pull themselves across. Isn’t there a weight limit on this sort of thing? Woody immediately volunteers to sit out, but he cannot do that because he sat out last time. The winning team will be able to make the weight of one player on another team not count. More good news: there is a red line this week.
Rondalee somehow beats Damien and Scott to take the lead for the white team. Damien feels something pop in his shoulder, but he keeps going anyway. Matt retains the lead for the white team, and Sonya continues that. Out of nowhere, Lori makes it interesting toward the end, but Woody is still able to help keep the white team undefeated in challenges.
The white team has decided to sideline Damien and put the blue team’s fate on the girls this week. A smart choice since he has lost the most weight on his team every week except the first. The other choices they had considered are Blake and Scott. Perhaps that would be better since the red team is a lot more threatening.
The outcome of the Comeback Canyon weigh in seems pretty obvious.
Mike: 326 pounds (-7, 2.10%)
Chandra: 313 pounds (-4, 1.26%)
Mike ends up winning, and Chandra will be going home.
Scott: 302 pounds (-13, 4.13%)
Blake: 209 pounds (-7, 3.24%)
Jordan: 272 pounds (-7, 2.51%)
Rob: 416 pounds (-5, 1.19%)
Red Total: 1199 pounds (-32, 2.60%)
After that, it’s looking like Scott or Blake would have been good choices.
Damien: 338 pounds (-6, 1.74%)
Gina: 210 pounds (-7, 3.23%)
Jackie: 259 pounds (-8, 3.00%)
Lori: 267 pounds (-9, 3.26%)
Blue Total: 1074 pounds (-30, 2.72%)
Blue Total (without Damien): 736 pounds (-24, 3.16%)
And now Damien does not look like such a good choice.
JJ: 342 pounds (-5, 1.44%)
Sonya: 234 pounds (-6, 2.50%)
Woody: 354 pounds (-7, 1.94%)
Rondalee: 242 pounds (-8, 3.20%)
Toma: 282 pounds (-9, 3.09%)
Matt: 333 pounds (-3, 0.89%)
White Total: 1787 pounds (-38, 2.08%)
Having fallen below the red line, Matt is going home. One off week is all it takes when the red line is in place.
The white team’s challenge win did not so much “backfire” because they were on a losing path almost no matter what. Even if they lost the challenge and Matt was sidelined, they still would have lost the weigh in. However, there was a single person at this weigh in who they could have picked that would have turned that loss into a second place. Choosing Scott would have knocked the red team down to 2.07%, eliminating Rob.
Chandra is down to 287 pounds from her staring weight of 341 pounds, a difference of 54.
