Season 3 episode 2

Posted on 28 September 2006 by aaron_nimocks

In the beggining of tonight’s two hour episode the two teams discussed how hard it was to vote off Jen even though they didn’t like her. The red team hopes now that they can be as close to eachother like the blue team. The blue team was definitely feeling good about themselves for being so tight and working together they felt they had the advantage over the red team.

Ken from Washington got a phone call saying his son was in CCU. He had some complications from a surgery and Ken broke down. Ken was in tears and he discussed the situation with Kim and made the decision to stay at the ranch.

Kim and Bob tell their individual teams they are taking them to the beach for the week to work out. Kim’s team, the red team, all go silent because they don’t want to go to the beach. When Bob tells his team they get excited and are ready to go. They go outside and there are old time ford mustang convertibles waiting for them. They get inside and some can barely fit the cars are so small. Once at the beach the teams struggle to work out in the sand. It’s a lot harder to work out in the sand than they thought.

The first temptation they walk up to 26 sand castles and underneath each one there is either a piece of chocalate worth 175 calories, a carot stick worth 30 calories, or immunity. Both teams contemplate it especially Pam from the red team who feels like if she were to go home right now she might not continue. The blue team keep Bob in mind and Bob said you play you pay. Both teams resisted temptation and went back to the trainers who were proud and they had a barbeque on the beach with healthy turkey burgers and salads.

The challenge was both teams had to build sand high enough to reach their flag wich was hanging from a pole. It was a tough challenge and a close race and Wylie got hurt when Nelson jumped to reach the flag and fell on his neck. The game paused for a minute until Wylie said he was ok then it was back on both teams raced to pile the sand high enough for a team member to grab the flag, in the end the red team won. Their prize was a care package from home where they found pictures and letters and other things from their families.

The teams went back to the ranch for their final workout, the blue team really were working hard all week and felt that they had this in the bag. The red team who had their ups and downs didn’t know what to expect. Sometimes the red team would work against Kim like during the yoga workout but their punishment was to work harder. Some of the red team were envious of the relationship the blue team had with Bob, but was that because the blue team worked really well together and worked extremely hard for Bob?

At the final weigh in the red team chose Erik to sit out the weigh in because they felt he had lost the most weight this week. It was a good choice because he had lost 16lbs. All together the blue team lost 35 lbs at 3.34% weight loss. The red team needed 57lbs to win and they did more than that losing 79lbs. The blue team had to go in for their first elimination and they decided they were going to choose who they thought was the strongest and would definitely continue losing weight at home. They chose Tiffany from Texas. It was a touching elimination, no one had any bad words to say about anyone it was only because she showed strength that they eliminated her.

Season 3 Premier!

Posted on 20 September 2006 by aaron_nimocks

The moment we have all been waiting for is finally here! A lot of changes this season, the first being a trainer. No Jillian this season but we said hello to Kim Lyons a fitness trainer who has been physically active her whole life. Her style is to make fitness fun and achievable to everyone. This season they took someone from every state and brought them out to the ranch only to find out that only 14 of them were staying at the ranch and Bob and Kim were picking their own teams. The other 36 contestants were going home to represent their state by working out with what they learned and the top girl and guy are coming back to the ranch with the chance to be the biggest loser.

The teams staying were as follows:

Blue- Amy, MAÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Red- Heather, UT

        Bobby, TN                                       Jennifer, MI

        Brian, CA                                         Kai, AK

       Erik, NY                                           Ken, WA

        Marty, MO                                        Nelson, MA

       Melinda, Al                                       Pam, IN

       Tiffany, TX                                      Wylie, FL

Bob and Kim started the two teams off by having them sleep in the gym as if to say you will be living in the house but the gym will be your home. Then as soon as they woke up it was workout time. They worked them out hard, several members of Bob’s team were puking. The first challenge was very close but the red team won, their prize was to switch a member of their team with a member of the blue team for the final weigh in. THe blue team was upset they lost the challenge and were cooking dinner when Bob stopped them and said they need to go work out first. His point was most overweight people are emotional eaters so because they were upset he wanted them to comfort themselves in a positive way by working out instead of eating.

THe final weigh in the red team chose Amy to switch with Jennifer. Amy lost 16lbs for the weigh in after it was all done the red team had lost a total of 98 lbs and 4.75% weight loss. Jennifer lost 8 lbs and it was looking like the red team was going to win with only two people left to weigh in they needed to lose 37lbs between the two of them which they did losing a team total of 108lbs and 5.05%.

Back at the ranch it was pretty clear who the red team were chosing for elimination. Jennifer had just not cut it during the first week at the ranch. She would take breaks and wouldn’t push herself like the others were doing and in the end she was the first to be eliminated.
