We see Blue team waiting to see who went home from Black team.. Daris worries, and correctly so, that it might be his mom, Cheryl. They pull the same one person at a time returning. with no one supposedly telling Daris Cheryl is gone. He tells us he is trying not to cry. Stephanie finally tells Daris they will miss her and he's lucky to have her as a mom. Daris tells us he is used to looking out for his mom and now he'll be alone in his room.

So dawn breaks and the losers meet Alli in the gym. There are two podiums set up. Koli worries that it will be trivia and he'll be in trouble. Alli says you have to change your mind to change your body. Head to Head Trivia Pop Challenge. She shills for the newest Biggest Loser book which is the source of the information.

Sherry seems to have twice the volume of hair!

A correct answer gives your team a point. Incorrect, and the other team gets a chance at the point.

Stephanie worries about being on the team with all the boys for this challenge.

Winners get a chance to leave (hmm, last year that wasn't a good thing, temptation wise). They will be picked up and taken to the Four Seasons Hotel, gourmet meal, spa treatment. Ashley gives us a sort of puke worthy segment.

Team that loses the challenge must stay on the Ranch and clean the kitchen, which also looks puke worthy.

In confession, Sherry has lost all that hair volume.. striking contrast.

Ashley vs Daris: Fiber in brown rice compared to white. Ashley 5 times. Incorrect. Daris says 3.5 times

Blue team 1 point

Drea vs Koli

Omega-3 fatty acids. Source of them.. Drea says blueberries.. incorrect. Koli says salmon (vs peanuts)

Blue team 2 points (but boyz are doing ok)

Lance vs Sam ellagic acid.. which fruit Lance says pomegranates. incorrect. Same Bananas vs strawberries .. and he gets it right.

Blue team 2, Black team 1

O'Neal vs Sherry BP control O'Neal flaxseed. incorrect Sherry none of the above.. (Oats correct?O)

Blue 2, Black 2

Michael vs Stephanie

Avocado good fat, calories in 1 oz of avocado 50, 60, 70 Michael says 50 calories. Correct.

Blue team wins. Oh swell, we get to see big beefy boyz at a spa. LOL. Sunshine too.. And they get copies of the book.

Black team is left to clean up the kitchen. They are bummed.

Blue team is smack talking as their limo pulls up to the Four Seasons. They are stoked with the rooms. O'Neal goes swimming.. Michael scares me by hurling himself on the bed.. I once knew a woman about his size and she broke a hotel bed and she probably didn't JUMP on it!

We see Michael's back, full screen getting a massage.. Daris with a muddy mask that I hate to say it but it looks like a poop mask.

Black team is doing a great imitation of a losing team on Hell's Kitchen as they clean the kitchen.

Koli getting a lovely massage as he sits in a meditation room.

Now the Black team is cleaning the gym... all the machines, the floor, etc.

They hope black team is overeating.

They certainly are eating and Michael has slicked back his hair. They say they are picking out healthy choices.

Michael makes a smug toast about his blue team.

Bob pushes having a resistance band at work and sitting on a stability ball ( ack, no watermelon gum yet.. or maybe I missed a big bowl of that )

Sam tells the black team he felt like a mopey whining <female dog> yesterday. They have to win and he wants to be on the ranch.

Jillian works them out in the gym. Says they are really down but didn't come her e to go to the Four Seasons but to get 200 pounds off of their ass.

The limo returns with the Blue team. They all march in with Michael grinning.. his hair is un-slicked and back to bozo style.

Bob comes to the gym, worrying about the blue team becoming cocky. He claims it is an even playing field.

Ashley whining about her knee. She is frustrated. Jillian tells us Ashley is starting to get into deeper issues. She talks to Ashley, tells her she has lost more weight than any other girl here. Ashley always cared what other people think. Her mom. Ashley feels guilty that Sherry is missing Cheryl but she wants to concentrate on herself. Says after her father died her mom wasn't okay for awhile.

Jillian takes Ashley to talk to Sherry and tell her how she feels. Know the problem and take action. Ashley doesn't want to hurt her mom.

They talk. She feels pressure to make sure Sherry is OK. Sherry asks here, at home, all the time? Yep all the time. Ashley can't do that any more. Sherry says that's a GOOD thing. This is showing you I can be a strong person. I wasn't when dad died but I can be now. I'm 51 and have to stand on my own two feet. 11 years and I haven't been on my own. I want to leave here on my own two feet.

Seems like this really cleared the air. Score one for Jillian. (but you should get back to the treadmills!)

Bob has his team in the kitchen. No gum.. we are on turkey sandwiches on whole wheat with avocado. Tomato, lettuce.

Michael is seen packing. Says his mom sent an urgent message about his grandmother. Michael thinks she may not pull through. He's being driven off the ranch.

Morning. Downtown LA and the teams meet up with Alli and Chef Curtis Stone. She mentions Michael is still in the game.

Lance not only has his hair goofily all combed forward, but has his beard tied up in masking tape. He says for a cooking challenge.

They need to learn how to make food that tastes good and is good for you.

Cooking Challenge Koli worries, says Mike is their best cook.

They will be making appetizer, entree, dessert, using only 12 ingredients.

Take turns choosing ingredients from a table and once an ingredient is chosen by one team, cannot be used by the other team.

Curtis will judge the taste.

They have 30 minutes.

At stake. Winning team gets 5 pound advantage at weight in. Sunshine tells us that is HUGE. Drea tells us the same.

Black picks first: Sherry choose shrimp.

Blue: Sunshine picks tomatoes (they had wanted shrimp)

Black (they had planned shrimp ceviche but needed tomatoes .. Drea chooses salmon.

Blue: Pork loin

Black lemons

Lost track as various ingredients are taken. Sherry worries about wild rice in terms of preparation time.

Off they go to prepare in 30 minutes. They get cute Biggest Loser aprons in team colors.

Black Shrimp ceviche for appetizer.

Blue Salad appetizer, pork loin with onions and garlic, dessert raspberries with chocolate drizzle.

Black, salmon and wild rice entree, pear goat cheese strawberry combo dessert.

Curtis talks to Daris about how to cook the pork tenderloin. Koli now worried about the pork.

Curtis quizzes blue team about the wild rice.. they may not have enough time. They worry about this.

Time for judging.

Black Ceviche red bell pepper, shrimp, etc.

Black spinach feta cheese pomegranate
They think it is 25 calories but are told it is 125.

First course to black team.

Entrees

Black salmon, wild rice, broccolini, orange marmalade sauce. Again the question comes up about the rice cook time and they left the skin on the salmon.. 557 calories. Blue team smirks.

Blue team pork tenderloin, cauliflower.. seems chewy. Koli is concerned. Overcooked but the veggie is good, mushrooms and garlic. 297 calories.

Score to blue team.

They are tied.

Dessert.

Blue team raspberries and dark chocolate drizzle.. apparently this was a previous dish by Curtis on BL.

The pears with the drizzle, etc for black team. He says it is good. 60 cal

He says both great and the Black team wins and gets the 5 pound advantage. (Look for BOB's eyes to widen and his vein to pop out)

Jillian appears and hears about the reward that her team won. She is stoked. But wants them to work hard; don't take anything for granted.

Sunshine and the rest of the blue team eat Subway sandwiches. Bob discovers that Michael is gone and they lost the challenge. Bob's mouth hangs open and he says "are you KIDDING me?"

We have to pull this out for Michael.

Last Chance Workout

BOB obsesses about FIVE POUND ADVANTAGE. And he says Michael will COME.IN.BLOATED.

Jillian says they will be doing a LOT of cardio. Jill feels confident but says back to beatings as usual. Koli says we are out for blood this week.

Sherry points out that she is the only MOM left on the ranch now. Wants to stay and can be BL.

Koli wants to be under 300 and hit the 100 pound loss mark. He's working hard.

Daris wants to continue for his mom.

At night, Michael returns.. his grandma is on a ventilator. Rough. He claims the last message his grandma sent him was "Kick some ASS".

Michael says he worked out twice a day. He is praised for balancing family and his goal at home.

He thanks them for the support. They don't mention the five pounds on camera.

Weigh in

O'Neal says this is the first time Blue team isn't 100% confident.

Alli (in pink and black) mentions the obstacles of Michael going home and the 5 pound advantage for black team

Stephanie is standing in front of Sam.

Black team starts with 5 pounds on the board and 0.42%

Michael has his hair.. not slicked back but wet so not bozo style, for the weigh in.

Black team is up and Drea will go first. She weight in at 243 last week. Now she is 238, down 5 pounds 2.06% Team 10 pounds .83%

Next up is Sam. Stephanie pats Sam's back as he removes his shirt.

He weighed 286 and currently is 278, down 8 pounds. 2.8% Team: 18 pounds 1.50% Bob is worried. Says they are screwed (hmm misdirection?)

Ashley is up now. She weighed 293 and is down to 286, 7 pound loss, 2.45% Team 25 pounds, 2.09%

Sherry is up now.. says she really needs to do well, only mother daughter team left. Her hair is poufy. She was 166 and now is 163, down 3 pounds. Only Jillian seems to clap. 1.81%, Team 28 pounds 2.34%

Stephanie looking worried. Sherry is worried too. Michael is feeling encouraged by this.

Stephanie is last up. She wants to keep the momentum going. She weighed 210 pounds last week. Wants to be under 200. Now she weighs 208, only down 2 pounds. You can imagine how pleased Blue team and BOB must be. 0.95% Team 30 pounds 2.5%

She is crushed and BOB looks stunned. Jillian looks frustrated. Stephanie cries. Sam looks stricken.. the camera knows..

Blue team needs to lose more than 45 pounds to win. Sunshine says they guys have to carry her.

Lance is up first. He weighed 290 last week and now he is 282, down 8 pounds. 2.76% Team 8 pounds 0.44%

Daris is up. BOB says he put Daris through HELL, not a normal week. He was 258, now is 248, down 10 pounds; he's stoked! 3.88 Team 18 pounds 1.00%

Blue team is happy, Stephanie looks grim. He's lost 98 pounds. He gives tribute to BOB.

Three more people need to lose at least 28 pounds for them to be safe. Stephanie getting lots of grim looking camera time tonight.

Next up is Koli. Sam holds Koli's shirt for him.

Koli was 306. He wants some milestones tonight.. under 300 and loss over 100. Now he weighs in at 297, down 9 pounds thus hitting both goals and helping his team as well. 2.94%.

Much celebration, especially from Sam. Tears from other players, Sam, Bob and Jillian, and Alli is very touched. Sam loves and is proud of Koli. Sunshine weeps. Sam says this is what it is about, no black and blue. Koli says they wanted to make their family proud. Alli congratulates him. He's lost 106 pounds. 27 pounds 1.5%

Sherry says they have the 5 pound advantage but with the other team's losses, she was shrinking lower.

O'Neal is up now. He was at 311.

He weighs in at 302, down 9 pounds. 2.89% Team 36 pounds 2.00%

Sunshine and Michael need to combine to lose 10 pounds which certainly seems doable. He is very excited. Says we needed this and I needed this.

Ashley feels more and more screwed with all the big numbers. Stephanie still looks pained.

Sunshine says she is really nervous since Mike has been gone and they have to lose 10 pounds together.

She was 225 and now is 216, down 9 pounds. LOL So unless Mike GAINS weight they are golden, the Blue team. She loves getting close to 200 pounds too. 4% Team 45 pounds (oh, Mike must lose a pound) 2.50%..

O'Neal says she makes him so proud! O'Neal is grinning broadly. Sunshine says please, just one pound for Mike.

So the teams are tied up before Michael weighs in.

He weighed 408 last week. Black team looks grim. Sherry would love to see a big fat zero, not wishing bad for anyone.. Michael weighs in at 397 pounds, breaking the 400 mark, losing 11 pounds and taking his team to victory (keeping in mind that he lost the lowest % on his team), despite the 5 pound advantage. (of course they have the huge advantage in weight to be lost, but 11 is good) 2.7% team 56 pounds.

Michael gestures to heaven (we haven't heard that his grandma had passed, last he said she was on a ventilator. He says he worked his butt off when he was in Chicago. BOB says Michael has learned so much, doesn't matter if he wins the show or not.

Black Team will go to elimination. Sam is immune Koli is relieved about that.

So will the last MOM go home, or the girl who is perhaps distracted by Sam? Time will tell.

Ashley was really shocked that they lost.

Deliberation They are in tears. Sherry says I want to stay, just the beginning for me, want to finish my journey here. Ashley says she has such a long way to go, over 100 pounds to lose, have to pick between two best friends here (Drea and Stephanie, not her mom) Drea says she can't go home, needs these people to encourage her. Stephanie says even four more pounds wouldn't have mattered. She is scared that she worked so hard and doesn't see the loss, afraid to go home. She tells us based on individual performance she would go home

We see a really tight hug between Stephanie and Sam..

Hmm well I'd say Sherry and Ashley will vote the same, for Stephanie or Drea. Sam wouldn't vote out Ashley. Drea would vote Stephanie, and vice versa. Drea? Or will Sam, Drea and Stephanie take out Sherry or Ashley? I'm thinking Sherry. Just speculation as I FF through the commercial.

Voting

Black team meats up with Alli.

They all look nauseous.

Ashley says she wouldn't vote for her mother, wants her here. She votes for DREA.

Drea says she struggled between two people. With Jillian's help one of them can get the numbers up. She voted for SHERRY.

Sam says he needs three strongest competitors to come back and fight with him. MAMA SHERRY

Sherry. Tough decision, close and work well together. Strong person. DREA.

They are tied. So it is up to Stephanie.

Stephanie says we need Ashley and Ashley needs the Ranch. Drea is my biggest competition. Sherry has been my mom here. Mama SHERRY.

Sherry cries and nods. Ashley cries. Sherry says she came because Ashley wanted her to come. But she needed to be here for herself. She knows Ashley will continue to do well and be strong. My journey will continue. Dad would be so proud of you, I'm proud of you and you can be proud of yourself. Ashley says they came in as mother/daughter but now they are also best friends. Daddy would be proud of you.

Alli interrupts the love fest to send Sherry away, but she gets hugs from the whole team.

So, a team is split. Stephanie had better step it up.


Sherry tells us how she just gave up after her husband died and he fought to live. We see a cute picture of a red headed Sherry with her red headed husband. She wasn't trying to live but she has become a whole new person now. She lost 55 pounds on the ranch. Possibilities are endless. I'll be so tiny when you see me, but big enough to carry that big check.

We see Sherry taking part in a boat race. An earlier clip shows her saying she is too big to do it. We see her looking really cute at 138!! She lost 80 pounds at that point. She can fit in the kayak and off she goes! Big crowd urging her on. She is excited about life again. We see her at the cemetery reading a letter to her husband. She wins the race, too though it didn't look like anyone was really trying to beat her. We see her wedding picture with both of them seeming to have very dark hair..

Next week they are all going home for an entire week.

I think that Sherry leaving was the right decision, even though Ashley of course would disagree. She was the smallest of the group and they need to keep their strongest people together. Of course I knew Sam and Stephanie would vote together and Drea needed to stay so there really wasn't any other choice...

She'd freak seeing my house but I'd be open to working with her..

Yes, on paper, Sherry was the one to go if they all wanted the best for the majority. Even Ashley may thrive since she fortunately talked openly with Sherry at Jillian's suggestion. Now she knows that Sherry is willing to depend less on her daughter for support, that she can do it on her own (and we've seen that she did).

But Stephanie who is taller, heavier and has only lost one pound more than Sherry.. really needs to step up to the plate or she should go next, because she is dragging down her team, no matter how fond Sam may be of her.

Anyway, it was the obvious situation and strategy-wise too because leaving a pair in the house could bite someone later on. The other team will need to deal with splitting up Sunshine and O'Neal too from a strategy point of view.

Sam and Koli are strong support for each other, even on different teams. But Sam wasn't vulnerable this week and I'm sure his team isn't ready to cut him loose, yet.

I think that it was set up for the black team to win this week...I knew that the kitchen challenge was going to be difficult for the blue team, especially in light of the fact that Michael was gone (although to give the show credit there was no way they could know that Michael would be leaving that week). The blue team really stepped up their game.

How thrilling it must have been for Michael to lose down to another weight classification, and also for Koli to reach both of his goals for this week. I was also glad to see Lance lose a big chunk of weight - it was certainly his time.

Stephanie does need to step it up or she will be the next to go.

I think that it is highly likely that either Sunshine or O'Neal will be on the chopping block when the blue team loses again. Michael can still pull big numbers and isn't Sunshine the smallest person? And O'Neal's disabilities could get in the way of him losing significant weight.

Odd that we don't get Biggest Loser spoilers...not that I want them but how does their production team manage to shut everybody down so much more effectively than Amazing Race and Survivor?

Sherry looked amazing at the end, down 80 lbs. Wow, i feel great for her but I agree, her going home was the right decision for the team and I am glad she went home and really stuck with it.

I always say start splitting up those partners but for the first time I'd really like to see a team go the distance. That being Sam and Koli. Great guys and great attitudes.

I can't remember, do they eventually go away from teams and back to individual play? If so, I hope it is soon.

they will eventually. Especially if one team is way down in numbers they would have to. When I said above I hope a team goes the distance what I mean was a partnership as I'd like to see both Sam and Koli make it to the finals.

I'd be fine with Sam/Koli going or Sunshine/O'Neal.

And yes, Michael has pounds to lose but Sunshine had the HIGHEST % loss not just on her team, but on both teams, last night. Michael had the lowest % on his team and he was the lowest % of all the men left and 7th of 11 over all. He beat only the smaller women who were 100 - 200 pounds lighter than he is. So even with a large NUMBER of pounds he did not carry his team at all. He didn't drag it down, but he didn't win for them. He simply was shown weighing in last for dramatic effect.

O'Neal, age, knees and all, not only beat Michael but he beat Sam and Lance.

Sunshine is the lightest on her team but heavier than all women left except Ashley.

Anyway, I'm sure if their team loses she'll be one on the block, or O'Neal will. Only one of them could be immune. Would have been Sunshine this week had their team lost.

Of course being broken up CAN be an advantage, in terms of winning both grand prize and the at home prize money.

They are touting all the records being broken this season, of course that is just because they keep finding huger and huger people.. but anyway they say first time someone loses 200 pounds on the campus.. which one would think might be Michael, though if Koli stayed to the end he could also do that, but Michael had 123 pounds on Koli at the beginning.
.

I'm spoiler bracketing that just for people who consider previews to be spoilers, but this sort of hints at long term info to me.

And another blurb that is spoilerish (and probably not ish but basicly a spoiler) for the next show. This from Entertainment Weekly paper magazine that came yesterday.

Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
There is a picture of Lance on an exercise bike..


quote:

Cue the tears! The applause! The syrupy-sweet close-ups of proud faces! Yes, after 10 weeks on the ranch, the remaining Losers are headed home for the week. But because home should always symbolize manipulation, the weight watchers are quickly informed that the winner of a 26.2-mile stationary-bike race will score $10,000, and that eating cupcakes before the race could tack minutes onto a competitor's time. It's more than slightly disheartening how quickly one competitor shovels down 17 treats, egged on by his wife, who clearly missed the memo about family support. Alas, back at the ranch he learns that no good cupcake goes unpunished.




Hmm well of course the obvious choice is Lance, egged on by Melissa to eat those cupcakes so he can ruin the competition for others, but could be anyone with a wife, but I don't see this being O'Neal and not sure if Sam is married? Koli? Not Daris. So, it pretty much has to be Lance. And I can see Melissa just jonesing to be involved in playing the game, too..

Sea - I think O'Neal and Lance are married and Michael, Daris and Sam are single. Sam is supposedly dating Stephanie. Not sure of the marital status of Koli.

I don't believe Koli is married either. Wasn't is sob story at the beginning about how he had not really lived his life and his weight was a big part of it? Besides, when he got his phone call he talked to his family, not a spouse.

I looked at their bios and looks like Lance and O'Neal are the only married men still active.

Anyway this should be an interesting episode.

Shows them going home, then teases the temptation showing Lance and Ashley seeming like they would eat.. but of course that could be true or could be misleading.

THEN it says that those sent home are returning.. they of course feature Melissa crowing that she's BACK.

ick.

So we know that they will all go home for a week, face a temptation to allow someone to screw someone else up and have a competition while home.

We see Alli telling them about going home.

They seem stoked, for the most part.

Alli says she will see them in seven days.

They pack up. Sunshine says she will miss the temperpedic bed at the ranch (product placement 1)

They fly home, greeted by crowds, etc.

Lance has a very short house.

Lance's house seems a bit taller inside.

Someone else in Daris family (not Cheryl) has equally not straight hair.

Lance's mom is sweeter than his wife. Melissa has darker hair now.

I knew O'Neal's wife was blonde, but so is Sam's mom.

Sherry has her hair all poufy to greet Ashley.

Michael didn't wear his hair bozo style to arrive home. Family subdued.. Time to make a decision on Grandma. Michael wishes she could see the progress he's made.

But.. they all have a surprise.. a sinister package.

Ut oh.

So they get a huge crate with an exercise bike (not to mention a gazillion Styrofoam peanuts to litter up their worlds..) And there is a box with lots of cupcakes. Michael smells them closely. Stephanie mentions having a sweet tooth. And of course a DVD. Melissa does her best crone screech while grabbing Lance's DVD.

Alli is on the DVD and tells them hi.. don't get too comfortable.. remember the first day you rode a marathon distance with your partner.. well now you will do that distance yourself. (26 + miles)

You will bring family and friends together again and ride that bike. Prize is $10,000 for the winner. And you have a temptation. Mini cupcakes at 100 calories each. For each you eat you can add 5 minutes to any other player's time.

O'Neal will not participate.. not medically cleared. (I wondered why they only got one bike)

Good Luck! See you at the next weigh in.

Lance really doesn't want to do the temptation but he wants the money. Melissa says Sam will kill it on the bike, Lance has to give him minutes.

Ashley says she won't eat any cupcakes. Her mom is proud of her.

Melissa urges Lance to eat.

Sam and Koli says we won't play games and they stomp those cupcakes.

Lance starts eating. He is talking about Sam.

Mike wants his team members to do well. He starts eating, also wanting to target Sam.

Drea same thing.

Melissa wants Daris to be penalized so Lance eats one for Daris.

Daris isn't eating.

Lance is gloating and eating.

Drea eats one for Sunshine.

Sunshine isn't eating any cupcakes. Says let's have a fair game.

Lance giggles and eats one for Sunshine.

Drea again for Sunshine and wants to target Stephanie too.

Stephanie eats none.

Lance eats for Stephanie. Michael talks through cupcakes and eats for Stephanie.

Lance ate 17 cupcakes
Mike ate 6 cupcakes
Drea ate 9 cupcakes


Michael is aggravated that he needs to be in the gym and now with his grandmother (I thought she was unresponsive?). His mother says we need to better our lives health wise and all that is happening to her is for the same reasons.

We see people working out at home (in the gyms near home). Drea mentions she relies on Jillian (earth to Drea.. Jillian would NOT have had you eat any cupcakes).

Daris is enjoying being at the gym at home.

Sam and Koli go together to the gym. (24 hour fitness, natch.. ) They say it is really hard, plus the big challenge for $10,000.

Stephanie works out with her mom. Enjoys it. Her mom actually looks like she may have gained weight.

Lance runs, says no time to drive 60 miles to the gym. But he has lots of space to run outside and they have a lot of equipment in their home that now they can use. They have Wii Biggest Loser game.

We see Sunshine running in the gym.

O'Neal is working hard.. maybe too hard for his left knee and hip. Bob tells him to take it easy but he cannot. The trainer at their gym says he was working too hard, hurt himself. O'Neal denies it.

(he was kinda showboating.. but now he goes for a win.)

Ashley says it is so difficult. Worried about her team losing again.

We see Sam's mom making bad for him breakfast.. he winces and shows her what is wrong.

Verizon Blackberry Biggest Loser App is now touted.. pretty cool, I guess. He'll take her shopping now.

Ashley goes where she used to go to eat.. we see large potato skins, chicken tenders, ranch dressing, etc. Ashley orders Ahi Tuna with a side of lemon and spinach, plain, no butter. Drinks Water with lemon. Sherry is there too.. not sure what she has but it isn't Ahi tuna.
Ashley wants to be able to go out and be active.

Drea is at the bowling alley, wants to be burning calories. We see all the bad bad bowling alley food.. what can Drea order?

Daris is outside running.. he used to be so insecure but not so much now. He wanted a girl on his arm and now he has one.. his friend Randi... who he asked out. Randi says before he left it was just a strictly friends thing but now he is more confident. Daris doesn't need to be drunk to get up and sing karaoke.. lol.

Time for the Bike Marathon

Alli on screens starts them off.. same bikes, same race, same time.. but.. they have a cell phone for a family members.. all of them on one call to update others.

Do NOT give up if someone else finishes because there are the cupcakes eaten.

Melissa screams obnoxiously.

Off they go! They don't know if they have a penalty or not.

Sam and Koli have each other to feed off of.

They are getting reports. Sam/Koli in lead. Lance sneers about Sam and the cupcakes. Daris says middle of the pack is good, others will burn out. Drea's butt burns.

Sam is a mile ahead of Sunshine (about 8 miles). O'Neal is motivating Sunshine.

Michael says he cannot win but his win will be finishing.

Sherry tells Ashley she is inspiring.

Lance at 10 miles.

Daris now 11 miles.

Same and Koli 12/13 miles.. Sam ahead but those cupcakes loom.

Mike approaches 10 miles. Ashley about the same.

Lance in third behind Sam/Koli.

Lance says he is winning and taking Sam down..

After commercial, Sam still in first, Koli in second. Daris up to third place, picking up the pace. Ashley behind Steph.

Sunshine in 4th.

Sam, Koli, Lance, Daris now.

San has just 3 miles to go..

Melissa is shrieking at Lance.

Lance now is second place to Sam. Sunshine in fifth.

Sam at 26 miles.. and he's finished in

1:17:00 Sam
1:18:40 Koli
1:19:01 Lance

(hoping there aren't hidden cupcakes against Koli)

1:23:29 Sunshine.. first woman..
1:25:35 Daris
1:36:35 Drea
1:37:05 Stephanie
1:40:48 Ashley
1:41:30 Mike (he is sporting the bozo hair now)


Now Alli is back on the monitors with the bad news for some about cupcakes.

Says a lot were eaten.. 32 in all.. ahh.. so some WERE hidden..

Last to hear is Koli, so even one cupcake would give Lance the win. Yippee! Sorry that Sam didn't win but at least Koli still is ahead of Lance with his 17 cupcake spite..

Michael bellows BLUE TEAM, as if that was a factor.
{

Back on the ranch with Bob and Jillian.. all are happy to see their trainers.

They hear that Sam won the ride without cupcakes but then Koli won.

Time to work out says Bob.

Last Chance Workout

Lots of work, Lance says he's lost without Melissa, worried, Bob takes him outside. (ick wish I didn't know Melissa will be back)

BOB encourages Lance.

Weigh In

Huge for the black team says Ashley. Sunshine says they are on a wave of winning.

Blue team up first..

O'Neal is up first. He'd like to break the 300 mark.. he started the week at 302 and now.. 295, down 7 pounds, 2.37% Team 7 0.40%

Sunshine is up next.. she was 216 and is now 208, down 8 pounds. 3.70% team 15 0.86%

And now we have Lance, who is basically making excuses in advance (probably lost a bunch) He drops from 282 to 274, 8 pounds 2.84% team 23 1.32%

Blue team is confident.. Ashley is worried, Drea, Stephanie

Michael up now.. talks of stressing.. He weighed 397, now weighs 389, down 8 pounds, 2.02%, team 31 1.78%

Koli is up now.. feeling cocky he says, maybe.. He was 297 and now weighs in at 287, down 10 pounds! 3.37% team 41 2.35%

Daris is last up for blue team..

He was 248 last week and now.. 244, only a 4 pound loss. 1.61% team 45 2.58%

Black team must lose 27 pounds to stay alive, average of 7 pounds each. Black team is worried.

Drea is up first.. From 238, she is now 232, down 6 pounds, 2.52% team 6, 0.59%

Stephanie up next and she's worried, given her recent small losses.. She was 208 and now is 199, down 9 pounds! 4.33% Team 15 pounds

Michael is worried..

Ashley is next and hopes she can contribute.. She was 286 and now she's 276!! 10 pounds! 3.50% Team 25 pounds, leaving only 2 for Sam to lose (hopefully he didn't drown his sorrows over being cupcaked out of $10,000 in high calories)

LOL.. they say no way in heck Sam won't lose at least 2 pounds.. dramatic music. He was 278, needs to lose more than 1 pound. Jokes that he's nervous. RMAO! He loses 14 pounds, down to 264. 5.04% Team 39 ..


Black team is safe. Sunshine is immune. I'm sure Sam is worried about Koli leaving and Sunshine and O'Neal will fear that he will leave, even though once again, he pulled a bigger % than some others on his team <cough> Michael <cough> and Daris.

Michael tells us he is "really scared" because it "could be me".

Deliberation Koli says everyone has to be here. Says Mike is biggest, should be picking up biggest numbers. Michael weeps about being so far away from his goal, wants to save his life, begs them to keep him here, help save his life. He tells us it is life and death for him, needs to be here.

Voting

Koli says what is best for me is best for the team. Doubt isn't good.

Votes LANCE

Michael doesn't want to see anyone go home, talks of guillotine, angry..

Votes LANCE says he looks great.

Lance says blue team is his only family left here, terrible decision and not sure still..

votes Mike

O'Neal says this was extremely hard; this person helped me out so much here.

votes LANCE

Daris says I know you can do this at home, you just proved it. No disrespect at all, good friend here and in the future. This is for the strength of the team but a little bit of strategy, you are a huge competitor. This is really hard for me.

votes LANCE

Sunshine is weeping

Lance says best to be sent home by family He says Melissa told him it was okay if they sent him home.

Seems like he's bonded with all of them.

He's lost 91 pounds in 10 weeks. The education is so empowering for him. No carbs at night, Pizza not a health food. He is now confident. I'll be thin and lean and back in the saddle again.

Now he weighs 265, down 100 pounds. He works out at home on his own equipment and rides his bicycle. He looks at double mountain for years and now he's ready to take his son and walk up that mountain. His son is enjoying doing stuff with his dad now. Melissa says it is amazing, the difference in Lance. He believes he can change. He wants to weigh 220 lb at the finale and get his commercial driver's license back.

Am I right? Lance has only lost 9 pounds since at home? Anybody know how long btn being sent home and the follow-up? For some reason i thought last week that they said (or hinted) that it was 2 mnths so for Lance it should have been 2 mnths less a week (or close to 8 wks).

Sam is definitely looking good. Melissa doesn't improve much with time, does she? I didn't buy that Lance was worried that Melissa couldn't make it without him -- I'm thinking that woman doesn't need anybody -- she definitely knows what she wants and gets it! I think Lance just is lost without her telling him what to do.

Glad he's gone -- I always thought he was the weakest link on the blue team.

Melissa is all about the money, not the long term benefits of losing weight and maintaining it. I know it's wrong to say, but I was thrilled when Lance lost the $10.000 challenge. Eating 17 cupcakes trying to guarantee a win backfired. I loved that Koli won it honestly without eating one cupcake. I was really glad that the blue team decided to vote off Lance. I think Roxip is correct Lance needs Melissa to tell him his every move.

I sure hope the previews are a misdirection and Melissa is not coming back to the ranch to compete. If that happens I'll have to think long and hard about watching BL in the future.

Would he have lost more if he hadn't eaten those cupcakes?

He lost 8 pounds didn't he? I think that the change of routine benefited all of them...perhaps their bodies got a well-needed rest away from the pressure of the ranch.

Do you think the others knew it was Lance was had eaten so many cupcakes - and not only that but had made sure to penalize other members of his team?

Wonder why nobody thought of Koli.
