have only flown over the Grand Canyon (going to & coming from Vegas) What's up with the brown team chick saying she would be ok being the bottom couple cause her husband could just go home because it was all her idea to be on the show in the 1st place. What if he wants to stay? Seems it's not an option for her.

So sad, but a good decision I think. Coleen was the best to continue in the competition. But oh wow...Jerry has done so great since he went home! This is why I don't like people going home. Following more of these stories on an ongoing basis is what is most interesting to me. But at least they do the followups and don't stop with the end of their time at the ranch. Still, it seems incredible that his health saw such a quick turnaround.

I've been to the Grand Canyon 3 times. Twice in the 60s for a day visit and then in 1991 for 4 days. Did the mule trip down to the bottom and stayed at the ranch there. Faboulous trip! Would have loved to do a 10-day raft trip, but the cost was out of sight. And now, I think I'm too old for white water rafting.

Sad and it turned out well.. I think it would have been dicey for him to stay there alone and he might have been more injured. Hopefully he was under more benevolent supervision (for his body) at home and clearly he got some good results. I don't know how how Coleen will be competing against couples but hopefully it will at least be %, though she still is at a disadvantage, not being the largest of women, but she's quite a fighter and personally I hope she does really well. I have to admit I was rooting for Orange to leave, or Brown, anybody but Yellow. And I kind of wanted Red to win that camper for their kids.

Week 3: Teams pack up and go to the Grand Canyon. Road Trip on a big van. Stop at convenience store our in the desert. (Lake Powell Mart) RV pulls up with Alison Sweeney.. they see the RV, nice, and they see banana lounges, sleeping bags, camping gear. So most of them will camp out, two will camp in style in the RV. Temptation challenge will be in the convenitnce store. They go inside. Allison.. testing new knowledge about old snacks. Guess number of calories in the snack. Family who comes closest without going over wins a pack of new extra sensations fruit gum (product placement..). First family to win three packs of gum, wins the game. Winning family gets to stay in a plush, Jayco RV (product placement) while everyone else is camping. One inconvenient rule: to have the winning guess, you have to EAT the snack Round 1: One chocolate covered caramel Pink in, Purple, Orange, Red. Brown and Yellow opt to sit it out. Orange wins. Round 2: Same four teams. String Cheese. Orange wins again. Round 3: Orange in.. all others drop out. Item is a hot dog. They guess real low to be sure and win. Orange gets to ride in the RV from that point on. The others have tents, cots, sleeping bags, no running water. THey find workout equipment,medicine balls, bands, etc., and there are some lame attempts to work out. Some are walking. Some are napping Suddenly they are on the water.. the previews before commercials are rather abrupt tonight.. they also tease that only one couple will be below the yellow line tonight (earlier they teased that there would be no voting). Jerry (yellow) tells us that he will be able to participate today. They have to paddle kayaks. One family member for 90 seconds, then other family members attempt to pull ropes of opponents back to the dock. When the kayak touches the dock that team is out. Last kayak wins and that team wins their very own Jayco RV. At the end of the 90 seconds: Furthest from the dock: Orange Red Yellow Brown Pink Purple (Shellay threw all the rope in the water instead of feeding it out, so it knotted and made it impossible to paddle) Now they can pull on whoever they want to pull back (those on the dock.) Purple goes to pull on Orange. Pink is pulling on Red. Red easily pulling back Pink. Pink out first. Pink cannot pull anymore. Yellow pulling back Brown. Red easily pulls back Purple. Purple out second. Purple cannot pull anymore. Brown and Yellow out. This leaves Red Amy paddling with Orange Heba hauls her in and Orange Ed paddling with Red Phil pulling him back. Amy trying hard to fight Ed (Red has three boys and want that RV) but Orange, Ed and Heba, win the RV. They hang out by the fire pit and a cake is brought out for Coleen's 24th birthday. Many of them praise Coleen. Back at the ranch, all grateful for the luxuries of the ranch. Bob is upset that his team reports a "sedentary" time at the canyon. Jillian's team feels guilty before they even see her. Jillian gives a lesson in cooking ahead for a week.. cook a bunch of chicken and bag it up, etc. Product placement for some sort of pump and bags. Bob teaches (last change) workout with the equipment they had in the canyon, balls, mats. Jillian had them do cardio outside without equipment and then workout with stretch cords (like Jerry used on BB). and sprints. Jerry's leg bugging him in the "sprint". Jillian notiecs and sents to medic, who notes water retention in legs. Yellow is worried about being sent home. Doc worried about blood clot or infection, Jerry off to hospital for testing. Last chance back in gym.. Jillian says someone's gonna die. Bob has his team on bikes. And the rest is the typical last chance workout. Jerry back from hospital (Cedars-Sinai). No blood clots. News is that he has a torn hamstring. At weigh in, Orange is asked if they are worried about being targetted because they have won several challenges. Allison tells them there will be no voting tonight; only one family will fall below the yellow line. But that's not all. Only one person from that team will be going home. The family will decide between them, who stays, who goes home. Red team up first. They lost 15 pounds (Phil 10, Amy 5) 2.95% Brown second. They lost 8 pounds (Brady 5, Vicky 3) 1.51% Pink third. They lost 9 pounds (Renee 6, Michelle 3) 1.91% Orange fourth. They lost 16 pounds (Ed 10, Heba 6) 2.72% Purple fifth. They lost 9 pounds (Amy 6, Shellay 3) 2.14% Yellow last. They lost 5 pounds (Coleen 7, Jerry gained 2) 0.89% So Brown team is saved and Yellow team must decide which will go home. They have one hour to make the decision. Jerry wants Coleen to stay; Coleen wants Jerry to be under a professional. He says he couldn't function without her if she went home and he isn't sure what will happen with his injury. Very sweet.. each of them want the other to have the opportunity. She wants him to live to see her get married and walk her down the aisle. All come back for the eviction, but only Yellow team has a vote. People say nice things about Jerry and Coleen. Jerry is going home. Bob has four married couples: Red Team Amy P, age 40, and Phil, age 41 They started at 560 pounds (Amy 229, Phil 331) They lost 39 pounds, down to 521 (Amy 213(-16) Phil 308(-23)) -6.96% They won a visit home (in a comp everyone won something with immunity being best and additional 2 pounds being worst) Week 2: Out second in Sprint & Slide challenge, but given extra call from winners They lost 12 pounds, down to 509 (Amy 209(-4/-20) Phil 300(-8/-31)) -2.30% Week 3: In kayak challenge Amy paddled.

Gave extra call to Red Team (with autistic son) They lost 11 pounds, down to 689 (Ed 309(-9/-26) Heba 280(-2/-14)) -1.83% Week 3: Orange wins Temptation challenge and gets to use an RV instead of camping out. (and travel the rest of the way to Grand Canyon in the RV) In kayak challenge, Ed paddled. He dominated on the paddle and other kayaks were tackled first so Orange won the challenge and the RV. They lost 16 pounds, down to 673 (Ed 299(-10/-36) Heba 274(-6/-20)) -2.72% Brown Team Brady, age 36, and Vicky, age 37 They started at 587 pounds (Brady 341, Vicky 246) They lost 47 pounds, down to 540 (Brady 313(-28) Vicky 227(-19)) -7.67% with the 2 pound penalty They "won" a 2 pound penalty at first weigh-in Vicky was told that her biological age is 48 Week 2: First out in Sprint & Slide comp.. they claim they threw it to not seem competitive They lost 11 pounds, down to 529 (Brady 306(-7/-35) Vicky 223(-4/-23)) -2.04% Week 3: In kayak challenge, Vicky paddled They lost 8 pounds, down to 521 (Brady 301(-5/-40) Vicky 220(-3/-26)) -1.51% Jillian has four parent/child teams: Purple Team Shellay, age ??, and Amy C, age 26 (Mother/Daughter) They started at 455 pounds (Shellay 216, Amy 239) They lost 29 pounds, down to 426 (Shellay 204(-12) Amy 222(-17)) -6.37% They won a ?phone call home or massage?

Wow Sea, impressive! I agree with you, I was wanting Red to win the RV for their boys, and hoping with the cockiness that orange would be below the line. I've never thought this show was fixed in any way, until last night. It just happened to be the night that only one team would be below the yellow line, only one family member would go home, and it just happened to be yellow, where the daughter is so likable and the father too sick/injured and holding his daughter back. Seemed to put together to me. I'm happy for Coleen though, I think she will now be tough competition. She was essentially competing alone the entire time.

Roxi, I agree. As the show ended last night, I turned to DH and commented that they seemed to have found a way for Jerry to be able to leave, and Coleen remain. How wonderful that Jerry is doing so well. He was probably more able to work at his own(healthy)pace at home, rather than in such a high standard competition.

Thanks for the great recap Sea! We were having weather related issues last night and missed a lot of the show starting with the Weigh ins. I appreciate knowing how everyone fared. Was I the only one yelling at the tv last night, "You're in the freaking Grand Canyon....go for a walk!" Geezz.

I am so glad that Jerry did well once he went home and it was a touching episode. I am not sure who is my favs yet, I like the red team, and remaining family teams! The thought did pass my mind that they found a way to send Jerry home without it looking like them actually kicking him off....

I agree Roxi it's the exact same thing I thought. However I just adore Coleen so I'm glad they found a way for her to stay. I cannot STAND the brown team. Did you see her smirking when she realized they were safe? UGH

I don't care for the brown team either. I like the red team & I like the orange team because these 2 seem to give it they can. I like Colleen from the yellow team but wander how they'll work it now. Will it be individual all the way around now? How are they going to do this? I neither like or dislike all of the other teams.

I thought that the remaining person below the yellow line would form a new team with Colleen. People who are too unfit to do the challenges/workouts are suppose to be weeded out in the interview process.

Because of the debate tonight, Biggest Loser will be seen in two parts this week. The first part will air tonight at 8et/7 central. The second part will air tomorrow night at 9et/8central. But check your local listings to make sure. I heard that on the Today Show this morning.

Week 4: Bob has three teams left: Red. Orange and Brown. Jillian has 2.5 teams left: Purple, Pink. amd Coleen from Yellow Week 4 Part 1: Various people tell us how motivating it is to be there with a spouse or relative and then talk of twist that sent Jerry home. This really worries them, that other teams could be split up. Coleen talks of their decision for her to stay on alone. She says it stinks; she lacks her support system. Jillian comes it to see that she now has five girls left, has one on one with Coleen. Doesn't want her to feel guilty. Time to focus on herself. Bob working with remaining couples, wants to ignite fire in them. Week four is fascinating. Vicky (Brown) worries that her severe knee injuries keep her from running.. she talks to Bob. Vicky says Brady pulls her back, because it is easier for him. She talks to Bob one on one. He talks of couples being enablers. Previews show Jillian going off on Shellay, then all the women, then Amy. Jillian created a motorola wireless workout for Coleen for her "Motorola S9 Walker" (Earlier we saw Brita signs.. lots of product placement). Back to Vicky, telling Brady he holds her back, tells him to let her work longer; she needs it. He says he is cool with that. In South Carolina.. Red Team is cashing in the visit home they won the first week. Amy and Phil surprise their kids. They say boys have grown, boys say parents lost weight. Back in LA.. Purple team cashes in on the 24 hours they won alone with Jillian (at 24 hour fitness, of course). They are excited. Shellay was hoping for more than 24 hour fitness (maybe a spa?) Jillian snarks.. "suckers".. Starts the workoug. Makes them use stepper machine with hands behind back. Shellay freaked, looks down, grabs the handrails (Jillian having handrail issues again). Jillian says if Shellay puts her hands on the treadmill one more time she will rip Amy's arms off and beat Shellay. In South Carolina, we see a cute squirrel and Red couple walks on an asphalt trail with their boys (something they never did before). Turtle trail. (dirt) In LA Jillian continues to berate Shellay. Back at the ranch Renee, Michelle complain about Purple taking Jillian away for a day; Coleen is there too. Jillian rants at Shellay, working one on one (they left Amy on a treadmill). Jillian wants to get through Shellay's facade.. gets Shellay to cry. What is she defending against. Has to be strong person on outside. Jillian sees sexy, strong and smart, but says she has to give more. Shellay says lightbulb moment; they hug. IN SC, Red team says goodbye to the boys. Night in LA. Challenge.. Universal Studios Back Lot.. they go up stairs and stand around a big tak of water with trapeze things to stand on / hang on. All are apprehensive. Jillian urges us to do jumping jacks during all 10 commercials (my cat says.. uh, NO.. I do not want to be disturbed) Allison: BL is about rising above adversity to achieve your goals.. in over your head, hang on tight. Tonight have to hang on tighter than you ever have before. They must stand on a small trapeze and hang onto a handle bar, then the water will slowly leave the tank. The person who holds on the longest, wins the challenge for their family, two chances per family, except for Coleen. Reward is packages from home. Family that wins tonight, wins three day VIP pass to Universal Studios Hollywood, including airfare and vip experience. They all get on the swings, hands over heads, wearing helmets. Water starts drainging out. Gets harder to balance.. 15 min. 20 min. 25 min/2.5 feet of water gone. 40 min, 45 min. Renee is out. Coleen out. (yellow out) 50 min. 55 min. Heba gives up. 58 min. Michelle out. 60 min. 65 min 70 75 80 Ed falls at 83 min. 90 min. Now have to choose one harm! Shellay out, Amy (Red) falls) Phil (Red) out. Both browns still there and Amy (purple) 100 min. Brady out. Vicky vs Amy 105 min. Amy finally falls. Vicky (Brown) wins. Brady loudly shouts. Amy devastated. 107 minutes. Vicky won opportunity to take family on the trip and she gets the care package from home. Vicky was thinking of her mom, sister, kids. They get to pick one other family. Vicky chooses Amy and Shellay (purple). Amy is stoked. (this is care package from home, not trip) Brown team gets their care package.. Pictures, school assignment card from son in first grade, they get an audio recording from kids, Vicky has a necklace thing, prbably from the package.. Promo for Jillian going over the edge, shouting at the women Now we see Purple team and their box (boxes are team color). Pillow cases with dad/husband's picture on them, cute. Picture, wedding pic and another.. I do.. I still do. Letter, other pics. LOL and they got feathery tiaras too. Now Jillian back yelling at Shellay for holding onto treadmill. Jillian upset that they didn't work out as long for "homework" (extra credit cardio)... did 45 instead of 90 min. Jillian yelling at them. Cannot wait for season seven to get someone who CARES. Wants to puke, she's been so nice. You guys not cutting it compared to any season, couldn't get Ali and Brittany out of the gym. She is sick of them. ACK.. this is a to be continued until tomorrow.. sounds like maybe a single person will go home. Bob had four married couples: Red Team Amy P, age 40, and Phil, age 41 They started at 560 pounds (Amy 229, Phil 331) They lost 39 pounds, down to 521 (Amy 213(-16) Phil 308(-23)) -6.96% They won a visit home (in a comp everyone won something with immunity being best and additional 2 pounds being worst) Week 2: Out second in Sprint & Slide challenge, but given extra call from winners They lost 12 pounds, down to 509 (Amy 209(-4/-20) Phil 300(-8/-31)) -2.30% Week 3: In kayak challenge Amy paddled.

Do the producers think that Jillian's screaming tirades make good TV...ACK! I'm no angel and I have certainly lost my temper before, but that outburst was disturbing. It gave me a stomach ache... Jillian wasn't the only one who wanted to puke.

I saw Jerry on the Today Show this week with Jillian. He is still losing, and said he was down 84 lbs that morning. His department is being very supportive, and you could see that he is feeling much better. Jillian's tantrums would not inspire me!

I didn't like that she told the purple mom that she would break her knee or something like that.

Well it was even less attractive when she wanted to rip off appendages from the daughter and beat the mother with them. This show can be inspiring for people, but I really don't think Jillian would inspire me to go look for a personal trainer. I guess she goes by the boot camp mentality that you have to beat people down and then befriend them and build them up?

Near the end, during the "I'm sick of it" tirade, it looked like one of the women just walked out of the gym! I agree that Jillian has the interpersonal skills of a Paris Island drill instructor. I would love to see one of the women just start laughing at her to her face!

I agree with the others Vicky bothers me, with her smirking, using her husband as an excuse to not get her workout in (My husband would stay with me while I finished my workout not "make" me leave before I was done). Hmm, I am in a bad mood so maybe I am taking it out on Vicky... probably not.

I wonder what the twist will be next week. I bet they will all have to start competing as individules. No voting - simply whoever has the lowest % lost is gone.
