The Biggest Loser Couple Episode 10 Recap
Allison lines up the remaining 6 contestants only to announce that the 14 eliminated contestants are back to weigh in. The man and the woman who have lost the highest percentage of weight since Day 1 will get to rejoin the game. Dan, Brittney, Maggie, and Kelly make no effort to quiet their frustrations. But once again, this is the Biggest Loser and life ain’t fair. If anything it should make the remaining contenders work that much HARDER to stay in the game. The tension was broken when Jackie saw Dan’s new tattoo for the first time. To say she was shocked is putting it mildly.

Episode 11.
Last week there was a cliffhanger because the show never said who was voted off. So now in week 11 we rejoin our “losers” at the elimination table. Maggie and Brittney are joined with their fellow competitors awaiting their fate. As a reminder, Dan won the previous week’s challenge and his prize allowed him to cast two votes, while the others each got one.
Dan casts his 2 votes for Maggie
Kelly votes for Brittney
Mark votes for Maggie
Ali votes for Maggie
So Maggie packs her bags and leaves the ranch to finish her journey at home. Day 1 of her journey she weighed in at 239 pounds. Upon leaving she is at 184 pounds. Currently she is at 172 pounds, for a total loss of 67 pounds. She is gaining her self confidence back, and approaching men (something she didn’t do before).
Brittney is upset over losing Bernie and Maggie. “It will force me to hang out with everyone else.” Kelly was surprised at the results of the elimination, and thought that Brittney would be voted out. At this point, Maggie was the much bigger threat and sending her packing was the obvious choice for the men. It is every man/woman for themselves at this point, although alliances are still a major factor in eliminations.
The contestants go to Macy’s thinking that they are going to have a challenge of some sort. They talk about shopping being hell because nothing ever fits. The women stick to things that don’t really have to fit, like shoes and handbags. As it turns out, they will have a challenge, but it isn’t what they think. They are going to be made over by style guru Tim Gunn and then strutting their new selves on the catwalk for Prevention Magazine. This will also be followed up with a magazine photoshoot. Tim tells the contestants that the biggest fashion goof people make is wearing clothes that don’t fit properly. VERY TRUE!!
Tim walks each contestant around and tries to get a feel for their individual styles. Some were afraid to wear certain colors because of their size, others had never worn anything directly off the rack. But folks, today is a new day. When people lose a huge amount of weight, there is sometimes a trial/denial period. You may think that something won’t fit still and you need a bigger size. Or that you still weigh what you originally weighed. But then comes a new reflection in the mirror and you can see how far you have come, that it is possible. It’s like getting to know yourself all over again, and that is what happened to the final 7 that day in Macy’s. Finally, Tim shows each contestant his or her, catwalk outfit. Many were in shock and a state of denial. As an added gift, each contestand gets to keep their reveal outfit as well as a $1,000 gift card to Macy’s.
