Another entertaining episode of the Biggest Loser Couples
Trainers Compete
This episode started off in an interesting fashion. They decided to get rid of the (six) two player teams and return to the typical two (six) player teams. They broke into Bob’s Blue Team and Jillian’s Black Team.
However, before the teams could separate, the trainers had to compete. The winning trainer was able to select the 6 players (3 teams) of their choice. The competition was a speed test to see which trainer could go up and down a moving escalator ten times.
Bob won the competition and chose the gray, black, and orange teams. These teams had the largest members and the biggest pound losers to date.
Challenge
After separating into teams, the two teams competed in a challenge. The challenge was to stay on the moving escalator the longest. After 20 minutes of continuous walking up the moving escalator, all 6 members of the black team had given up and 3 members of the blue team remained. The blue team shared a prize of $10,000 for their efforts.
Workouts
The trainers tried some supplementary workouts with their respective teams. Bob added yoga to his team’s regimen and Jillian added kick boxing to her team’s workout.
Temptation
The temptation was soda. There were numerous cups of soda on a table. One of the cups had a red star at the bottom of it that you could only see after drinking it. The contestant who found the star could eliminate the weight loss of a player on the opposing team. No one gave in to the temptation. I wouldn’t have either. Regular soda can really pack on the pounds.
Commercial
There was another Extra Sugarless gum commercial in this episode. This time Jillian did it.
Weigh In
The Blue Team won the weigh in. Their 6 tem members lost between 5 to 13 pounds each. The Black Team members lost between 0 to 8 pounds each. One of the black team members actually gained 3 pounds. I am still amazed that after five weeks they are still able to lose up to 13 pounds in just one week.
Jillian was concerned about her team’s weight loss. She knew it was not their workouts, so she felt it had to be their diets. She later found out that most of her team was under-eating. She told her team that in order to lose weight you cannot over-eat or under-eat. I totally agree. Over-eating brings more calories in and under-eating causes your body to burn fewer calories.
