Have U Heard??

This week’s episode of The Biggest Loser kicked off with a wild challenge that will test the strength of both the blue and the black teams when each team has to pull a truck – and then put together a large puzzle with the crates they had to stop and load along the way. The winning team gets an amazing prize. Then it’s work week for the contestants, with each working eight-hour shifts at the food bank while also fitting in workouts in a specific time frame, a real-world task that proves very challenging for some. Later, the blue team squares off against the black team at a tense weigh in before another player is sent home.

“The Biggest Loser: Couples” returned after the Winter Olympics with one of the most dramatic episodes of the season when the game changes to blue vs. black teams. And this week after winning the temptation challenge while eating about 2,200 calories, Michael controls the fate of all the contestants by choosing those teams.  Michael decided to stack the teams giving the blue team a huge advantage.

At the end of the previous Olympic-themed episode, contestants Darrell and Cheryl went head to head in a tough elimination challenge that ended in a cliffhanger before the eliminee was revealed. In the beginning of this week’s episode, we saw that Darrell lost the challenge and was sent home.

Later, the newly-formed teams faced off on the roof of a very tall building for a pulling challenge.  The contest was very difficult and the Blue Team took the prize, letters from home.

 Then Dr. Huizenga meets with contestants to give them their updated “Know Your Number” scores revealing how dramatically their health has improved in just seven weeks on the ranch.

Finally, a tense weigh-in pits blue team against black before another player is sent packing.
