Biggest Loser 8: Episode 809 Recap

November 10, 2009 by 1 Comment

(Original Air Date 11/10/2009)

Week 9 begins with clips of the contestants sharing their experiences about how it feels to still be on the Ranch at week 9 and what they have ahead of them.

The contestants meet with Alison who announces that 2 people will be eliminated after the weigh-in this week. There will be the usual yellow line which will involve a vote between 2 contestants but in addition to that, the person with the lowest % of weight for the week will fall below a red line and be eliminated immediately.

Pop Challenge:

The contestants each have a board with 50 tennis balls and a container with their name on it. The players have to jump up and get one of their tennis balls and then run to put it into their basket. The person who collects all 50 balls the fastest wins the challenge and a 1 lb advantage at the weigh-in.

It comes down to a close race between Allen and Rebecca and Allen ends up winning the challenge.

The contestants tell Jillian and Bob about the new twist for the week with the red line elimination and they are a bit shocked as they’ve never been faced with this before.

Jillian pulls Bob aside to share her thoughts about Shay and how strongly she believes that Shay needs to remain at the Ranch. It is obvious that both the trainers want to see her remain in the game. (for her health, not necessarily the game aspect)

Jillian then works the contestants out in the gym, dealing with Danny who is not having an easy time and being particularly rough on Shay. (in a good way, of course!)

Trainer Tip:

Bob’s trainer tip involves the importance of monitoring the calories in beverages. He uses the example of a fruit juice which contains 30-40 grams of sugar per serving, more than what is found in a soda.

The contestants are really feeling the pressure this week and it shows during their training sessions.  Rebecca has a moment with Jillian similar to the one that Amanda had earlier. Jillian says that she is always so black and white and she needs to learn how to find a middle ground.  She ends up frustrated and then talks it out with Amanda.

Bob has a heartfelt talk with Danny about what it is he wants out of this experience.

Challenge for Immunity:

The contestants walk into a circus tent to receive Alison’s instructions for the weekly challenge.

They each had a hoop with their name on it and the challenge is to jump through the hoops of the players that they want to be eliminated from the challenge. As each player gets 100 jumps through their hoop by the other contestants, they are done with the challenge. The last person remaining wins the challenge and immunity during the weekly weigh-in.

Rudy ends up really disappointing Shay as he doesn’t keep to his word about a verbal alliance they have during this particular challenge.

Rudy ends up winning the challenge and immunity for the week. Go Rudy!

Last Chance Workout:

Bob stays with the circus theme for his last chance workout with the contestants, taking them for a trapeze workout. The players can really feel it when it comes to holding their own body weight during these exercises.

Jillian then immediately does her last change gym workout with them when they arrive back to the ranch – a double whammy! She also makes fun of Bob and his circus workout! 😉

Weigh-In Results: (pounds lost this week, total lbs lost to date, current weight)

Rebecca: 10 lbs, 70 lbs total, 209 lbs
Amanda: 5 lbs, 48 lbs total, 202 lbs
Allen: 10 lbs, 82 lbs total, 243 lbs (had 1 lb advantage)
Danny: 17 lbs, 114 lbs total, 316 lbs
Liz: 12 lbs, 61 lbs total, 206 lbs
Daniel: 5 lbs, 56 lbs total, 256 lbs
Rudy: 8 lbs, 118 lbs total, 324 lbs (had immunity)
Shay: 17 lbs, 100 lbs total, 376 lbs

**Shay breaks a Biggest Loser record in losing 100 lbs among the women the fastest in wk 9! (previously held by Kristin of Biggest Loser 7 who lost 100 lbs in wk 12)

After the weigh-in, the two below the yellow line are Shay and Amanda. (crazy that Shay is below even after losing 17 lbs this week!)

Unfortunately Daniel has the lowest % of weight loss and is the one to fall below the red line, being immediately eliminated at the weigh-in. Love Daniel! Sorry to see him go. 🙁

Eliminated Contestant (Below Red Line):
Daniel

Daniel’s transformation since leaving the ranch:

Daniel has lost 215 lbs total since his original Biggest Loser 7 appearance.  He teases that he hopes to introduce America to his new girlfriend at the finale. Go Daniel! 😉

Eliminated Contestant (Below Yellow Line):
Shay

Shay’s transformation since leaving the ranch:

Shay has a great reunion with loved ones after returning home. She vows to lose 213 lbs by the finale show, breaking another Biggest Loser record. For some reason there was no after picture of Shay at this point but she appeared on Jay Leno (with Daniel) after the show and she looks great! (says she has lost 150 lbs to date)

Next Week on the Show:

Yay! It’s Makeover week with Tim Gunn!
