After they hit singles in The Biggest Loser Season 16 Episode 12, JJ was the first to fall victim to the yellow line and the vote.
For this week, the remaining contestants head to Hawaii. Sounds great, though I don’t think of it as the place for weight loss. What Hawaii does have going for it is lots of water and sand, which can be suitable weight loss tools.
The reward challenge puts them into kayaks, and now they are at weights where they meet the weight requirement. They have to paddle out, grab some puzzle pieces, and head back to shore to complete the puzzle. Somebody’s been watching Survivor, just with a less exciting result. Lori and Jordan are in the lead throughout the process. Jordan is the first to finish the puzzle, which is a helicopter, signifying the tour he will take. He chooses Toma to go with him.
Jen takes Woody and Sonya out to go snorkeling. She’s as afraid as they are, so she will join them in this adventure.
Bob’s got two football players with him at Comeback Canyon again this week.
JJ: 292 pounds (-8, 2.67%)
Scott: 251 pounds (-8, 3.09%)
For the second week in a row, Scott has managed to survive against a challenger. JJ leaves under 300 pounds with 100 pounds lost.
In addition to the travel and getting somewhat out of their routine they have done, this week has another catch. The red line returns.
Sonya: 183 pounds (-6, 3.17%) – 100 pounds lost
Lori: 230 pounds (-10, 4.17%)
Toma: 225 pounds (-10, 4.26%)
Rob: 338 pounds (-12, 3.43%)
Jordan: 227 pounds (-6, 2.58%)
Woody: 294 pounds (-12, 3.92%) – over 100 pounds lost
With numbers like these, I take it this has been an extended “week”. Everybody puts up good results, but it’s Jordan who ends up falling below the red line.
From his starting weight of 392 pounds, JJ is down 131 pounds to 261 pounds. His mother has followed in his footsteps and lost 35 pounds in addition to having quit smoking.
