Have U Heard??

The week’s episode of The Biggest Loser, the contestants learn to invest in their future with financial expert Orman, and Biggest Loser season eight champion Danny Cahill returns to the ranch for a motivational visit.

Host Alison Sweeney kicks off the episode with a pop challenge that finds the contestants piling quarters, each worth $10, on to platters, and then trying to balance the platters as long as they can to win the money they’re holding.  Sunshine had a great strategy but in the end Michael won.

 Then financial guru Suze Orman stops by the ranch to talk to the contestants about their financial health, along with season eight winner Danny Cahill, who Orman predicted would win the show last season.  Suze thought Danny would win because he had the highest FICO score out of all of the season eight contestants.

Suze visit is a wake-up call for many of them struggling with their personal finances, especially when Orman shares her prediction for who will win this season.  Orginally Suze thought Koli would be this season’s winner, but after he told her he hasn’t been counting calories while on the ranch, she changed her mind and thinks Sunshine will win. 

After Cahill works out with the players and motivates them with words of encouragement, the contestants are off to battle the elements and compete for the biggest prize so far this season. It’s a wild challenge in the pouring rain that finds players racing to find the right keys that will fit an unbelievable prize for two lucky contestants – brand new 2010 Mazda 3 cars!  Andrea and O’Neal each won a Mazda 3!!

Later, trainer Bob Harper takes the players outside for a workout in the mud, which leads to a wild mud-wrestling fight and a lively chase to bring trainer Jillian Michaels into the fray. Then it’s payback time as Michaels puts the contestants through a last chance workout they’ll never forget. Then it is off to the weighin.
