The Biggest Loser, Week 2, 9/23

And, we’re back for another week of calorie burning, muscle building and backstabbing. All in the name of weight loss, so it's all good, right?

[Editorial note: please forgive any holes you might find here. It’s bedtime for the kiddos and I’m multi-tasking while BL is airing.]

Let’s see how week 2 goes at the ranch. Week 2 usually disappoints, Bob says.

Pink team…Michelle has some big tears…I called this one last week. I knew they’d need an on-site psychologist to deal with the family baggage she brought with her. Jillian is dishing out some BAD, b-a-d, BAD marriage advice. Wow. She needs to stick with the personal trainer gig.

Who knew that doing the slip & slide could count as exercise?!?

Hey, they’re at Kroger with Rocco DiSpirito. I was JUST at Kroger this afternoon, but Rocco was not there. The menus all sound delicious. Not as delicious as the brownies I’m about to put in the oven…but delicious nonetheless, in their own healthy way. That Rocco is full of produce picking advice.

Enough with all the product placements! They are SO obvious. Ziplock Zip & Steam bags, Subway, and Extra gum have all made obnoxious attempts at getting our attention this episode.

Last Chance Workout:
Bob is getting a little mean in the gym. He’s on the “don’t touch the treadmill” bandwagon now too. I have to be honest: I would probably cry if I did one workout with these two trainers. They’re mean.

AAAAHHHH yes! The weigh in! Get ready for lots of drama, scale beeps, and camera shots to everybody’s face coupled with a dramatic pause as they cut to commercial about 9 times in the next 20 minutes. And you know they’ll make Jerry & Colleen (yellow) go last since they’re on the line about winning $10,000 if they lose 13+ pounds.

Weigh In:
Brown: Vicky/Brady lost 11 pounds
Purple: Shellay/Amy lost 6 pounds
Pink: Renee/Michelle lost 7 pounds
Red: Amy/Phil lost 12 pounds
Orange: Ed/Heba lost 11 pounds
Gray: Tom/LT lost ZERO pounds Don’t know how that is possible…at the “ranch”…to gain weight, but they did.
Yellow: Colleen/Jerry lost 11 pounds. DANG! They didn't make the 14 pounds they needed. I think they're going to be leaving the ranch tonight.

Elimination:
Enough, Brady, enough! He is really on my nerves with the 'tude.
OK, so now onto business. DIRTY POOL! Orange team backstabbed the gray team! They were supposed to keep them on since gray saved orange last week.

The team who will be leaving us tonight is....
GRAY.

Let's see how they look now.
Tom has made major health improvements! Awesome--no more pills.
LT has lost 81 pounds. Looking good! No more fettuccini with 2 jars of alfredo sauce.

See you back at the ranch next week.
