In the second episode the navy wives return home to their kids while their husbands are still deployed and the marine wives return home to both their kids and husbands. Jillian sends the marine wives out to dinner with their husbands and they are very supportive and even select healthy options for themselves as well. Bob hired a personal chef for the navy wives so that they could continue to eat healthy. The chef made cucumber appetizer, beef salad, sea bass with asparagus which totale 533 calories.

Three weeks after leaving the ranch the navy wives fly to Hawaii to be reunited with their husbands after a six month deployment. It was an emotional homecoming and the husbands were already so proud of the progress their wives had made so far.

Ten weeks after the ranch both teams begin to struggle. Tami was ashamed that she only lost a pound in a week and her son admitted that she had eaten a cheeseburger. Sharon was finding it difficult to count calories and Amber had to remind herself of Jillian in order for her to get up and exercise.

The marine wives were working out on the beach and Jillian showed up and didn’t waste any time and started working the women out right away. Jillian called Amanda out on her smoking and made her run to show her how smoking was affecting her. Jillian gave Amanda a motivational talk and she promised Jillian she would quit smoking. The girls then had a picnic with Jillian and addmitted that they were having trouble keeping up with the diet. Jillian let them know that they can’t eat more than the allowed calories otherwise the exercise and diet will cancel eachother ot and they won’t lose weight.

 The navy wives are working out with their husbands on board their ship when Bob shows up. Bob works both the wives and the husbands out to show the husbands how tough their wives really are. The husbands struggled more than their ladies did. Later on both teams receive pictures of their competition which reminds them of how hard they still need to work. The navy wives head to LA to work with Bob in their final week while the marine wives stay home in Oceanside for their last chance workout.

The Final weigh in! The Navy wives and marine wives face the mirror seperating them from their competition and the the mirror is pulled away and the teams were supportive telling the others how great they looked. Dari who had gastric bypass surgery and had it fail says she finally has found the answer to weight loss. The first team to be weighed in were the navy wives. Dari started at 246lbs and weighed in at 196 losing 45 lbs. Tina was 200lbs and weighed in at 169 losing 31lb Tami started at 194 and weihed in at 157 losing 37lbs. Last Jessica started at 217 and weighed in at 179 losing 38 lbs, iving them a team total of 151 lbs and 17.72%. In order for the red team to win they had to lose 144 lbs. Sharon started at 208 and weighed 182 giving her a weight loss of 26lbs. Rosa started at 190 and weighed in at 170 losing 20lbs. Amanda was 248lbs and she weighed in at 182 giving her a weight loss of 66lbs. It was down to Amber who needed to lose 32lbs in order for them to win. Amber started at 157 and weighed in at 144 losing 13lbs and losing to the navy wives. Both teams did great and congratulations to the blue team!

Â

On this special edition of the biggest loser we have 8 women who lead busy lives and who have been to busy taking care of others to take care of themselves. They are also military wives. Led by Bob from San Diego, CA we have Tami, Jessica, Tina, and Dari who make up the blue team and whose husbands are in the navy. The marine wives are from Oceanside, CA and we have Amber, Amanda, Sharon, and Rosa who are being led by Jillian and are the red team. The navy wives husbands are deployed on the USS Rushmore and Bob gives them a suprise phone call letting them know their husbands are going to come home to new and improved wives. Jillian gives the marine wives a call telling them she is going to make them as kick ass as their kick ass marine husbands.

Both teams head to the ranch for the initial weigh in and the results were as follows:

Navy                                         Marines
Tami- 194lbs                Amber- 157lbs
Jessica- 217lbs               Amanda- 248lbs
Tina- 200lbs                               Sharon- 208lbs
Dari- 241lbs                               Rosa- 190lbs

The navy had a total starting weight of 852lbs and the marines had a weight of 803lbs. THe teams head back to their bungalows for the night and begin their workouts in the morning.

Bob and Jillian blow on bulhorns to get the teams out of the bungalows and into the gym for their first workout. The marines seem a lot better off than the navy wives, they were chanting and working really hard. The navy wives seemed to have trouble and DAri even brokedown because she couldn’t believe she had let herself get this way.

The first temptation was a craps table and the teams would have to roll a die and if they landed on the wrong square they would have to eat something that would add to thei thigh but if they were the first team to make it accross the board they would get a $5000.00 shopping spree. Both teams were strong and did not give in.

Bob works out the navy wives and they already seem to be improving so much. Dari was on the treadmill smiling instead of crying this time. He really inspires them and they feel Bob understands them and is a perfect fit for their team. The marine wives struggle this time more than they did the 1st workout. Amanda had just quit smoking which was taking a toll on her and she had to get off the treadmill. She broke down to her team and admitted she was afraid of failing herself and her team and they all pulled together and told her they wouldn’t let her nor would Jillian.

The challenge was that the teams had to get in a boat and row themselves to buoys that were anchored by 25lb dumbells and pull up the dumbells and once they had two in their boat they had to row back to shore and hook it to their flag to help it raise in the air. The first team to collect all their dumbells and raise their flag to the top of the pole wins a nanny for a week. During the challenge the blue team could not get it together and figure out how to work as a team. The marines were on top of it and won this challenge and the nanny. After the challenge the teams have three days to workout before the weigh in.

The winner of this weigh in win their trainer for a week before the final weigh in. That prize could really benifit either team. The marines weighed in first with Rosa who started at 190 and her current weight was 179lbs giving her a weight loss of 11lbs. Amber started at 157 and her current weight was 151 giving her a 6lb weight loss. She seemed upset that she only lost 6lb but in reality 6lbs is a lot for a girl her height. Sharon who started at 208 currently weighs 197 also losing 11lbs. Last Amanda started at 248lbs and had a weight loss of 15lbs. This gave them an overall weightloss of 43lbs and -5.35%.

The blue team had to lose at least 45lbs to win. Jessica stepped on the scale first and was shocked to see she had lost 14lbs which brought her weight from 217 to 203lbs. Tina went from 200lbs to 191lbs losing 9lbs. Tami was 194lbs and currently weighed 182 giving her a 12lb weight loss. This left it up to Dari, she had to lose 10lbs for the navy wives to win it. She started at 241 and currently weighed 225 giving her a weight loss of 16lbs and winning the weigh in for her team!The blue team lost a total of 51lbs and -5.99% and get a week with Bob. The fight isn’t over because both teams head home and take with them what they learned for three months and then will face again for one final weigh in and the chance to be the biggest losers and win $50,000.00.

This Wednesday is another couples edition. These two couples will face off for the $50,000. As the previews suggested this is going to be a great episode and I think also the season finale.

Which leads me to think what about the Navy wifes that they were advertising? Is there more shows to come or are they not going to air some of the ones the filmed due to “bad results”. Anyways if anyone has some information on these going to be lose episodes I would love to hear it. But hopefully I am wrong and they will be playing more soon.

This week on the Biggest Loser they took two families who worked in and owned a restaurant. The red team led by Jillian were the Sapienzas who own an Italian restaurant in the Bronx called Emilia’s. The Sapienzas include three cousins Robert, Toni, and Daniela, also Alexa (14) whom is Toni’s daughter.Next we have the blue team led by Bob the Sentis who own a 50’s diner in Peoria, Illinois and a life of burgers, fries, and shakes is all they know. The blue team consists of Scott (father), Tammy (mother), Kelly (daughter), and Emily (daughter).

The first weigh in the red team was up first. Robert’s starting weight was 276, Toni’s was 213, Daniela’s weight was 163, and Alexa was 191. Their total weight was 843lbs. The blue team was up next with Scott at 265lbs, Tammy’s stating weight was 215, Kelly 211, and Emily’s starting weight was 250. The weigh in was emotional for both teams, especially when the youngest daughters on both teams weighed in and you saw their moms tear up because they felt the guilt of their daughter’s weight. Both teams were checked by doctors and they found that Emily (16) on the blue team was in danger of diabetes and could take decades off her life if she didn’t change her ways.

Bob got busy on the blue team taking them on a hike and teaching them how to eat healthy diner food, like trading turkey burgers for ground beef burgers. Of course Jillian got busy drilling the red team but also got a soft spot as she taught the team how to support eachother the way they need to be supported.

Gary Deckman from season 1 stopped by and talked to both teams about how important families are when they are going through this. He looked great and it was good to see him. Then both teams received makeovers at the ranch and they looked and felt better.

The challenge was that each team had 90 min to rack up as many miles as they could on a treadmil. Both teams were very close until Tammy on the blue team accidentaly pressed the start button twice whiched erased all their miles! They didn’t freak out and Scott got on the treadmil and really worked hard. He made up for a lot of lost time but it didn’t look like they were going to make it until right before the time was up Daniela erased the miles off the red team’s treadmil which because of that the blue team won the challenge! Their prize was that they could come back a week before the final weigh in and be trained by Bob. In my opinion that could make all the difference.

The final weigh in before they went home, the red team was up first. Toni weighed in at 204 and had lost 9lbs. Alexa weighed in at 183, she had lost 8lbs. Daniella weighed in at 152 and had lost 11lbs. Robert up last and weighed 258 which brought his weight loss to 18lbs and a team total of 46lbs at -5.46%.

Tammy from the blue team weighed in at 201 with a weight loss of 14lbs. Kelly weighed 199 and had lost 12lbs. Scott weigh in at 242 with a 23lb weight loss. Emily up last weighed 229 which made her weight loss 21lbs, and their team total at 70lbs with -7.44% weight loss. The blue team wins the first weigh in and get a vacation to a beautiful island.

Stay tuned to next week to see which team will be the biggest losers!

The Sentis Total Start Weight: 941 lbs. Scott: 265 lbs. Tammy: 215 lbs. Emily: 250 lbs. Kelly: 211 lbs.	The Sapienzas Total Start Weight: 843 lbs. Robert: 276 lbs. Daniela: 163 lbs. Toniann: 213 lbs. Alexa: 191 lbs.

On Wednesday the 25th at 9/8c on NBC.

After 11 days at the ranch both couples take what they learned and head home for six months to continue this new life style in hopes of being the biggest losers. Steve and Sarah’s parents bought them their own apartment so they could have a better chance on continuing their new healthy habits.Rasha and Edwin’s place as well as Steve and Sarah’s were both stocked with everything they needed from workout equipment to healthy foods to help them on this journey. Steve and Sarah were at an advantage with the healthy eating because they had a personal chef cooking healthy dinners for them, although Edwin and Rasha kept up with making healthy choices all on their own.

In the beggining being home and only having eachother seamed to put a strain on both couples. While Steve was overbearing and bossy to Sarah, Edwin was out riding his new bike for hours leaving Rasha feeling alone during her workouts . Steve and Sarah were visiting a potential ceremony site when they received a visit from their trainer Jillian, she took them back to the gym for a good workout and had a suprise for them- Kelly from season 1! Kelly stepped in and helped train during the workout which it was great to see her again. Edwin and Rasha were shocked to get a visit from Bob while they were sampling wedding cake, they looked guilty but Bob just jumped in and shared the cake with them and then took them to the park for an intense workout. He really stressed to them that they need to support eachother and gave them tips on how to do that which really worked because they seemed to really come together in the end for those last workouts.

Final weigh in. Wow both teams looked amazing! It was obvious that both the teams had worked really hard and come along way. Edwin and Rasha’s starting weight was 477lbs. Rasha was up first, her starting weight was 237 and she lost 70lbs which brought her weight to 167! Great job Rasha! Steve was up next with a starting weight of 240 and when he stepped on that scale he weighed 177, he had lost 63lbs! Together they lost 133lbs and their percentage of weight loss was 27.88%! Up next was Steve and Sarah whom had a starting weight of 571lbs. Steve was first to weigh in with a starting weight of 274 after stepping on the scale he weighed 181, he had lost 93lbs! That is amazing! Sarah had a starting weight of 297 and when she got on that scale she weighed 220 she had lost 77lbs which made Steve and Sarah the biggest losers and they won a $50,000.00 dream wedding. Congratulations to Steve and Sarah for winning!

This is so great to see one of the contestants stop by the site and make a comment. I didnt think they read this stuff.

Edwin is one of the engaged couples shooting for $50,000 next wednesday and also one of the hardest workers that I have seen on the show. If you would like to see what he said click here

Well tonight was part 1 of 2 of the engaged couples special edition. I like the idea of splitting it up instead of what they did last week and showed it all at once. Gives the viewers more time to connect with the contestants.

Anyways, Steve and Sarah were given Jillian as their trainer and became the red team. While Rash and Edwin had Bob for the blue team. This week was another kind of “unfair” episodes where one team outweighed the other by over 100 lbs to start.

First off they started with a cake temptation. The idea was they can have the chance to win rings worth up $10,000 if they ate a piece of cake and beneath the plate contained a note saying you won. I was almost positive that Rasha was going to fall into the temptation by the look of her eyes starring at that cake. But in the end Edwin seemed to stay strong and talk some sense into her and no one went for the temptation. Personally I would have tried.

During the workouts it seemed that Sarah was having a really tuff time adjusting to exercise. It seemed that she was really out of shape and was getting beat up physcologically. I knew she had it in her to do it but she was letting herself think that she didnt which ended up costing her fiance to do some sprints.

On the other hand Edwin suprised me. He seems dedicated to this and it looked like he worked out the hardest than I have ever seen anyone on the show workout. But then again this is TV and their such thing as editing to make the viewers see whatever the producers want them to see. But I think that Edwin is going to do very good at the final weigh in.

The next contest was for a prize of $5,000. This one seemed like an easy one where all the other challanges atleast made the contestants sweat. For this they had to go through 10 limos and find a stack of $500 hidden in each limo then run back to the start line. This wasnt the best challange that I have seen but it was still entertaining. It came down to both engaged couples were in the last limo looking for the $500 but Steve and Sarah found the money first and ran back to the starting line and got to keep the $5,000. Congratulations!

Now for their 2nd weigh in since they have gotten to the ranch two weeks ago. I was guessing that the team with the most weight (Sarah & Steve) was going to win. But the red team started off first and here is the scores.

The final weight loss percentage was Steve & Sarah with 9.63% and Rasha & Edwin with 8.6% making Steve & Sarah the winners of the weigh in and the honeymoon in Jamaica.

Next week on Wednesday the the teams will be weighed in one last time after a few months at home and the winner will walk away with $50,000.

Please feel free to leave your comments on this show!

This week engaged couples battle it out for $50,000. On the red team will be Steve and Sarah. They are from Allentown, PA and they starting combined weight is 571lbs.

Their opponents from Portland, OR are Edwin and Rasha. Their starting weight is 477.

Once again this week there is a weight difference. This one is right around 100 lbs. I personally not sure if there is an advantage or disadvantage in this though.

Edwin & Rasha	Steve & Sarah
