Then he gave her a little lecture about how she needs to step it up. That was strange.

I do think Victoria was struggling I dont think she was 100% comfortable yet on the ranch. It just seemed big to her and that she hadnt yet reached her stride which is understandable since she spent the less amount of time there. I do get what Koli was saying bc Micheal had that same problem and they told Micheal about it.

Victoria is down to 240 lbs and looks really cute! She is down to a size 12.

She takes a friend to 24 Hour Fitness and they hawk a Biggest Loser bonus of waiving your joining fee if you mention BL when you sign up.

She and her Mom do the 26.2 mile bike ride to show they can do it.

Cherita has lost 77 lbs at home.

I'm sorry, but how does 240 lbs translate to a size 12. Something is wrong with that. I wear a size 12 and I'm about 70 lbs less than that.

That does sound screwy now that you bring it up Kooklie. I think the weight of 240 is what they said, but I could have heard it wrong. The caption stating that she started out a size 26 and is now a size 12 may be an update since the taping where she was 240 lbs. She is 5'9" so I am not sure what weight she would now be at to be a size 12. She must have lost a lot more to get to a size 12.

I thought they said 194 pounds at her home reveal at the end of the home piece. Size 12 is a lot bigger today. By yesteryear's standards she looked about a 16-18

I thought I may have heard it wrong since the noisy air conditioner in the hotel room kicked on right when they were talking about her weight. That does sound more 12ish for her height. Thanks Gidget!

I'm kind of over Koli and Sam at this point. Too cocky, too manipulative...wasn't it Koli just a few weeks ago dissing Stephanie because she was "playing the game?"

We open with early morning, tired peeps inside, here comes Alli.. first day of week 14.. Alli looking super as usual and Koli says that is wonderful but she brings surprises too.

She says toughest thing here is worrying about what to eat.. today have to worry about what others are eating, because today, you will compete in a Temptation.

Mike, in full pre-workout 'fro and headband, says Oh No!

Rules simple.. Room upstairs filled with food. Some healthy, some not so healthy (the unhealthy table looks like the buffet from heck for a dieter).

You will eat every meal in that room; the kitchen is closed.

At the end of the day the person who has eaten the most calories will cast the only vote at this week's elimination.

If you fall below the yellow line you will lose that vote and it goes back to normal.


Mike and O'Neal reacted, but others do too when they see the room.

O'Neal says it hit him like an "overhand right".

Ashley sees cake, chocolate and cookies, plus the fruit and healthy food.

Victoria giggles seeing the food.

O'Neal gets a cup of cereal for breakfast but points out lots of hours to go.

Sunshine gets steel cut oatmeal and raspberries.

Sam eats 1800 calories a day, more than others, so he hopes he can win.. he estimates he ate 500 calories for breakfast (and he is right.. 501)

Sam and Koli talk about maybe Koli should eat like crazy and win and keep Sam here. He eats 1545 calories.

Daris has a reasonable breakfast.

Mike says others will expect him to participate in the temptation (yeah like a bunch of us on the smallest loser game.. sigh).. but he will eat reasonable.. He had.. well we aren't told his calories. He lies and tells Vicky he ate a bunch and is stuffed.

Vicky isn't here for game play so she modifies and eats 353 calories for lunch.

Koli is excited for lunch and he is packing it in! Yikes is he going below the line.. over 2000 calories for lunch and he's over 3600 calories now.

Ashley says lunch is harder to resist.. seriously tempting.. just one taquito and it was crap..

70 calories.

O'Neal approaches lunch.. says this is really hard. He smells the fries.. he takes a "small" portion of fries but skips them.. says he just wanted the burger to look good. Now he looks over the cookies, takes three.. talks of saving Sunshine. Big temptation. He opens his mouth at a cookie and we go to commercial

Bob pushes designer whey.

Dinner.. O'Neal back and he flips away the cookie.

We see Koli telling Sam he is hungry....

Sam says the longer they are out here the longer Koli is here.. I would throw myself under the bus for him and that is why he is doing this for me today.

Koli goes to dinner, not wanting to eat.. gets cheeseburger, ketchup..

Total calories are adding up, he isn't feeling at all good... body is hating him. Have to do this for Sam

4,164 for the day. and Koli looks uncomfortable.

All meet in the dining room at night. Alli is back, clearly not having eaten 4,164 calories.

She says several of you broke down to temptation. Ashley ate a taquito.

O'Neal you ate three burgers.

O'Neal says just the patties, no buns.

Victoria went there four times! But only one chicken wing.

Daris, 1556 calories today and only one person.. ate a LOT more.

They describe all the food Koli ate:

2 Omelettes
5 pieces of bacon
2 donuts
10 wings with ranch dressing
1 hot dog
1/2 a chili dog
1 piece of licorice
1 cheeseburger

I think I'm leaving some things out..

Koli won with 4,164 calories.

Why did you do it?

For Sam, he says.

Sam says Family First.. we both know where I am in the game. If I fall below the yellow line, Koli has the power to keep me here and I truly appreciate it.

Alli leaves.

Mike understands why Koli did it, but it is hard if you are sitting there with Sam.

(assuming Koli isn't below the line)

Koli says he has to work off those calories. He and Sam are in the gym at night boxing. Actually pretty cute.. Sam is listing off the foods and saying thanks.

Koli feels horrible, belching chili..

Bob and Jill arrive next day to find out about the temptation.. and of course they tell on Koli.

Jill is pissed off but he says he did it for Sam. They say O'Neal and Sunshine support each other and Sam has to stay for Koli. Bob and Jill say Sam is skinny.. he is "there" . Jillian is disgusted with the situation but is proud of the others. So start exercising.

Koli says it doesn't matter to me.. give me those good workouts but I know what I'm doing.

Bob says 8 strong, focused individuals.. and four will not make it.

Koli says if it takes getting into trouble to get a great workout, so be it.

Looks like a great workout.. though I'm not sure why Bob is punching Daris in the abs while Daris holds up barbells/weights.

Victoria is seen not working hard.

O'Neal is motivated by the gray team, says Bob.

O'Neal talks of his days running track and in football, as a paratrooper and he wants that back.

O'Neal is doing some awesome pushups and all are in awe of him.

Bob hugs O'Neal.

Ashley having a bad day, she tells Bob.. He pulls her outside to talk (he's become Jillian). She is really missing Drea! Feels she has no one.

Bob gives Ashley a good pep talk.. Ashley loves Bob.

(Oh YAY Friday Night Lights returns May 7 to NBC!)

Dr Huizenga visits.. talks to Mike.. he started out 31 years old, but his body was 54.. 84% chance of catastrophic disease.

So now.. he's down to 42 years and 31% risk. He's naturally stoked!

Mike says he had 300 pounds of fat to lose.. and he hopes to do so.

Ashley on day one was a diabetic. Today.. normal, low normal blood sugar, insulin normal. No diabetes. She's happy.

Time for a challenge

Overhead girder, piles of wooden blocks.

Alli talks of foundation for a new life.. they have the building blocks they need but how they use them determines how they stack up to the competition.

UP on the girders there are flags. They have 175 blocks and have to stack them to get up to get their banner.

Ashley says she has a fear of heights and is no engineer.

First to finish gets a 1 pound advantage.

Daris wants that advantage.

Last to finish gets a 1 pound disadvantage/stumbling block.

O'Neal is concerned.

Mike says he worked construction.. he is teaching Ashley.. doesn't want her to get disadvantage, of course not to beat him.

They have hard hats and harnesses.

Ashley will just follow and do what Mike does.

different strategies..

Sun and O'Neal making a wide foundation.

Daris wants to make the highest the quickest.

Koli and Sam making towers.. but no way to climb yet.

Mike is going for sturdy.. and "right".

Ashley says this is a lot of work for the first level.

She bails out to that technique.

Sunshine says no one doing what she is.

Vicky has height going.

Alli is confused at what Mike is doing..

(but none of the high flyers have tried to climb.)

Koli wants the pound, worried about Daris being ahead.

Daris is climbing.

Says same idea as Koli's.. he plans to be first and he's close.

Sam up on top of his too.

They have to climb their own structure and grab onto a ladder.. Daris trying, so is Sam.. takes upper body strength.

It looks like they should have made their stacks a wee bit taller first.

And both have to give up. Sam says just one more block.. but now he has a "chintzy" structure too.

Michael going for one like Daris.
Daris is tallest and adds to his a level and will try to climb ladder again. and Daris is on the ladder!!! No one can catch him!!

Winner. Daris gets one pound advantage.

Ah but others have to keep it up since they don't want that last place booby prize (worried about O'Neal).

Sunshine is worried but of course need to keep working.

O'Neal on top of his stack.. can he make it on the ladder.

Koli is on his ladder now. second place

Michael and Sam vying for third place.

Daris says there are scary structures.

Victoria knocks hers over almost, clinging to her ladder and not on it.

Ashley climbing her tower, but fearing heights .. determined not to be last.

Sunshine is climbing her ladder, she is third

O'Neal on top of his structure, reaches for ladder and needs more height.

but as he comes down he falls on his knee!.. ACK.

Medics are called.

Sunshine screams for them to lower her down so she can go to her dad.

Well it looks like O'Neal gets that pound disadvantage :-( Sunshine goes off with him.

Daris talks about O'Neal having the disadvantage and how tough it will be.

Guess others didn't have to finish, though Alli calls them finished.

Koli says it seems unfair for O'Neal to have that disadvantage.. he says if Sam can be above the yellow line, Koli will save O'Neal.

Ashley tells us she isn't great at challenges but she's never been below the line. Bob meets with Ashley and tells her diet is important and he says they have something NEW in the house. (LOL.. a new sponsor?)

Yoplait Greek Yogurt.. Fat free but twice the protein.

Ominous music plays as O'Neal and Sunshine return.

He has his leg immobilized (and a BIG HONKING immobilizer it is, too.. those are a total PITA to wear and walk in, trust me)

He says the good news there was no fracture or tear but bad news bone hit bone/nerves and chipped, why it is so painful.

Michael is glad he is back, says they missed O'Neal. He is happy with that.

He knows he has the pound disadvantage. Koli has nothing but respect for O'Neal, from day one on.

Bob and Jillian meet with them. They have a surprise.. they will pack up and go to the beach.. without Bob and Jill. There will be a special guest.

At the beach there is what Michael calls a "really hot blonde". Gabrielle Reece, volleyball player.

She speaks of high performance clothing and we see zoom ins to Danskin and other logos.

Light warm up jog and a sprint.. O'Neal not sprinting or lunging (too bad he didn't get to stay back and workout in the pool).

Last part of the workout they have fun.. go in the water.

Bob talks of using a stability ball on one foot.

Somber music again and we see O'Neal tell us this is the worst week on Biggest Loser.. he failed the challenge and re-hurt his knee, went to hospital, one pound disadvantage and then got a call that his oldest brother passed. Marine, athlete, boxer, meant the world to O'Neal and he didn't get to say goodbye. O'Neal knows his brother is in a better place but wishes he could have been with him.

Bob talks to O'Neal as O'Neal cries.

I swear Bob has turned into Jillian with the counseling talks!

They agree O'Neal is there for all the right reasons. Bob says we'll do everything we can to keep you in the house this last day, for you, your brother and for Sunshine. They plan to work O'Neal's butt off.

Jillian works out with O'Neal in boxing gloves. She and Bob are proud of O'Neal.. in past he would have resorted to food. Sunshine is happy to see her dad working hard with Jillian.

Last Chance Workout

Bob stresses that someone is going home.

Daris says he won't slow down even with that advantage.. 8 mph now.

Bob says Michael is heavier than Daris started out.. acknowledge how far they have come.

Bob works Ashley. She isn't ready to go home.

She says the game is becoming more "prevalent" every day.

Koli wants Sam to work like crazy so that O'Neal can be saved. Sam says it would suck if he and O'Neal were bottom two.

Jillian designs a workout to help O'Neal let it all out.

O'NEAL IS WORKING LIKE A MANIAC with Jillian monitoring him. He breaks down again but he is exhausted from the workout and emotion. Jillian cradles his head and lets him let it out.

He may be having some asthma.. says he has to walk. Jillian supports him on the walk outside. She's crying too.

O'Neal grieving and saying goodbye to his brother.

Weigh In

Michael tells us about the advantage, the disadvantage and the single vote.

He's in FULL fro mode..

Alli tells of Koli having only vote IF he stays above the line.

He is first up. He was 270 last week and now.. 260! 10 pounds and 3,70%. He gives out a roar!

Lots of clapping.. He is ready to go for final four.

Daris is up next, with 1 pound advantage, too. Daris wants a huge number. He was 226 and now.. 219, down 7 pounds, 3.10% or 3.54 with the advantage. Still in second place to Koli, but looking good! He says he was 217 in 7th grade. He feels great.

Now Michael is up. He says good numbers so far! 363 last week, he must lose more than 13 pounds to be on top now and safe now. He weighs in at 358, down 5 pounds, 1.38%. Not safe, but not out at this point. He rolls his eyes and Bob is worried.. he says Mike needs to be here. Mike says this is the lowest loss he's ever had. He is worried it is his ticket home.

Koli is now safe, and has the only vote tonight.

Ashley is up now. She was 258 and to be safe right now, has to have lost more than 9 pounds.

She weighs 254, down just 4 pounds, 1.57%.

Daris is safe (and would have been without the 1 pound advantage) and Mike is closer to that yellow line.

She says the beginning of the week was tough but she got it together.. not happy with freaking four pounds. Last week I slept a lot and lost more.

Sam is up next.. sort of ominous music. He doesn't want to be at bottom, especially with O'Neal.

He was 252. To be safe, has to lose more than 3 pounds. He rolls his eyes.. He weighs 246, down 6 pounds and safe. 2.38%

Ashley and Mike still vulnerable and yellow/blue alliance still to go and probably worried.. now it would be hard if it was two of them for Koli to choose from.

Sam is happy. He says he came into high school at 262 pounds, now I'm 6'3" and 246. (interesting.. BL has him at 6'4")

Michael says the one person who didn't need to be safe, is safe..

Victoria is up now. She knows if she ever falls below the line she'll be gone. She says she pushed every day. She was 267 and now.. she must lose more than 4 pounds to be safe now. She weighs 266, down only 1 pound, 0.37%. This means Ashley is safe and Michael has hope. Victoria can only hope that BOTH Sunshine and O'Neal had very bad weeks.

She says "are you kidding me?" Wasn't expecting that. Jillian says the stress is higher on the ranch than at home, throwing Victoria for a loop.

O'Neal is next. He walks up with his immobilizer on his bad leg.

He was 278 last week, has the one pound disadvantage, so must lose more than 4 pounds to be safe right now. He weighs in at 270! Down 8 pounds!! 2.88% But.. with the disadvantage that drops to 2.52%. And again, the 1 pound disadvantage makes no difference in placement.

Victoria is below the yellow line and Michael just above it, depending on Sunshine's total.

Lots of smiles and clapping and Bob shouting YES! Sunshine is in happy tears. O'Neal weeps and tells his brother he missed him and he loves him.
Koli and Bob sprint up and support O'Neal as he walks down the stairs. He says to us he didn't give up. He is saving his live. He gives a long hug to Jillian. He shakes Daris' hand and Ashley's, hugs Sunshine and then Bob gives him a huge hug too.

Now is moment of truth for Sunshine. Mike feels like Sunshine won't be below the line.

She was 192 and now..needs more than 2 pounds loss.

She weighs in at.. 191, only one pound.. O'Neal groans and Sunshine bursts into tears. Mike looks sideways but has to be relieved. 0.52%

Mike is safe now.

Sunshine and Victoria are up for elimination and Koli must make the decision. One has to assume that he would save Sunshine..

She says she did more than the week before, not sure what to say. Bob points out that it was a hard week on Sunshine and O'Neal, with the loss at home.

Bob hugs Sunshine and O'Neal hugs Bob and Sunshine.

Bob and Jillian say goodnight with hugs for O'Neal and Bob hugged Victoria.

Deliberation.. well I guess it will just be pleas to Koli? If so, we don't see this process..

We next see Koli marching by the steaming pool in the dark, carrying his covered plate with his decision.

He tells us plan A was save Sam, plan B was save O'Neal, plan C is what is best for me and that is what I'm doing.

First time below the line for Sunshine and Victoria and both have done some work at home previously.

Koli says not as easy, can't say family first.

He sends Victoria home.

He says not trying to be mean, but you HAVE to pick it up, go as hard as you can from beginning to end, find that extra gear and go hard.

Victoria didn't expect that to come from Koli. She knows she gave everything.

(ed. It didn't look like it from what we saw)

We see Victoria, happy to be back in Houston for the third time. Her mom is so happy to see how good she looks. Cherita says I was SO HAPPY to see her. Cherita looks good too. Gwen, her pastor is also happy.. all is well.

Vicky plans to be at gym and home, that's it. Her trainer, Calvin is right there and they get started.

She seems pissed at Koli's words but is using them to work hard.

She is down to 240 and wants to be 118 pounds.

She has done pretty well, today is taking a friend to the gym to help her.

Biggest Loser 24 hour fitness special offer.. initiation fee is free.

Cherita remembers the marathon on bikes the first day and how she collapsed.. today they are going to finish it strong and they do.

Cherita says she didn't spend one night on the ranch and she did it.

Victoria went from size 26 to size 12 and Cherita is down 76 pounds now.

Next week they go to help the people of Texas get fit.

I wasn't crazy about the way they showed Victoria to be lazy this week. Perhaps she was having a rough few days, I don't know, but the woman lost a lot of weight at home by herself so is obviously motivated and putting in the effort. She has also lost an additional 26 pounds since leaving the ranch the second time. I know they have about a week's worth of footage that they can pick and choose just the right facial expression or moment in time and use it to tell a story that works for the episode. I just feel bad for the woman, but she definately looks like a happy soul as does Cherita.

I sometimes wonder if some of the younger women are impacted by their periods. I know I couldn't do the kind of workouts they do before menopause.

And before anyone jumps on me and says women can do anything with their period, some women can. I could not. Had a very bad time of it.

Game playing would have been to vote Shineshine off since she is part of a "team". Victoria knew that she would be voted off if she was below the bottom line because she was the outsider.

I was thinking that Koli was game playing in that he deliberately ate in order to keep Sam safe, not in voting out Victoria (although he always manages to have an excuse). I think that the others have simply bonded as a tighter unit and Victoria was the outsider. I also think that Victoria is a greater threat at this point to lose more weight (because her weight loss had been erratic) and stay above the yellow line. Sunshine is kind of getting to the point where her weight loss will slow down.

I am glad to see Victoria and her mom doing well off the ranch.

Sunshine does this thing with her eyes when she cries (which seems like a lot) when it looks like she rolls them up and it's creepy!

LOL @ Michael his building the tower - I like that he can laugh at himself.

I felt very sorry for the father losing his brother. Did they offer him time away to attend a funeral? I am way past wanting to see Sunshine cry AGAIN.

Sunshine also lost her uncle.

I agree that they could easily pick out footage to tell whatever story they want.. and Victoria seemed to be doing really well at home. Even Jillian mentioned that in a way there is more stress on the ranch for and some people and Vicky with her mom on the program and her pastor and a coach at home.. probably a good thing.

I think game play definitely kept Sunshine on the ranch. Koli and Sam have been tight and supportive to and with O'Neal and Sunshine and if he had sent Sunshine home the time would come when he might need support to keep him or Sam there from Sunshine and O'Neal and having both there gives him that support.

And then I agree that Victoria had potential to lose more than Sunshine at the end, so Koli's game worked out for him well.. and Sam had the boost of not needing to be saved.

Agree that it was nice that Michael could laugh at his own technique.. doing it the "right way".

I was sorry that they didn't seem to have better control when they would go up on those towers they built.. like not holding them upright but shortening their lines enough so that no one would fall and be hurt like O'Neal was. That had to be just sickening.

But he overcame that and even the extra pound. And Daris can be proud that he won the advantage (and also kept someone else from winning it and then lost enough not to need it.

I'm just thankful that Melissa wasn't around to try for those advantages or to make the only vote.

I really like how they are all nice and supportive of one another and how they all can drop massive amounts of weight and get so much healthier. I didn't like Melissa, but am fine with Koli doing some game playing with all the eating to keep Sam safe. At this point, how can they not do any game playing...to not game play just for the sake of not game playing seems, to me, to make about as much sense as no game playing on Survivor. just sayin'....

The goal is to be the biggest loser, to make it to the end, just as in sole survivor. (Of course, yes, there are other goals along the way such as losing weight, learning how to eat properly etc.)

I hope Koli learned his lesson, though. He was way too happy to be stuffing his face at the start of the day. I hope he suffered after all that food!

It seems everytime someone eats a lot of food, they have a good weightloss. I actually think it helps them because it shakes the body up a little. I have heard about occassionally doing this when doing a very restrictive diet and maybe it does work. Koli had a great weight loss this week.
