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!
