Biggest Loser 9: Episode 916 Recap

(Original Air Date 5/4/2010)

The show opens with Sunshine talking about how much she misses her dad after he was eliminated.

Then Alison announces that it is makeover week! YAY! AND she gives them each $1000 for a lil shopping spree! Awesome!

They head off in their limos to do some shopping!

They then head out for some serious hair consultations…can’t wait to see Mike and Daris!!!

They are told by Alison to go into a room to check out their new looks…of course family is standing by to surprise them.

They all look SO amazing! I love makeover week! 🙂 Mike and Daris without all that hair – both look great!

They then all meet with Alison and their loved ones for a special surprise concert by Ashanti.

Individual Challenge:

Each have to on a Jacob’s ladder suspended above the water. The winner will win a 1 lb advantage at the weigh-in while the first one to fall into the water will get a 1 lb disadvantage.

Yikes! Ashley is the first one in! Drats!

Final 3 comes down to Koli, Sam and Daris…and Sam drops!

and Koli wins it!

Bob and Jillian see the contestants for the first time since their makeovers and are very impressed and happy for them!

Last Chance Workout:

Bob and Jillian are ready for a serious workout (more than normal?) due to the fact that the contestants have been gone a lot this week. Get ready guys!

Whew I dare say that Bob is working out Daris harder than I’ve ever seen a contestant work! Very impressed with the big D tonight!

Trainer Tip:

For maximum workout on the treadmill, you should not be holding on to the handrails. If you are going so fast that you feel that you need to, you should reduce your speed and do intervals instead.

Biggest Loser 9: Episode 915 Recap

(Original Air Date 4/27/2010)

After the elimination last week Alison has an announcement for everyone. They are going to Texas to help inspire people to get fit.  Bob and Jillian will also be there to help get the people from Texas on track for a healthy lifestyle.

The contestants are heading to various radio stations to help inspire the people of Texas to get out and join them for fitness and a 5k run! Awesome!

Texans Come Out to Meet the Biggest Loser Contestants for the 5K:

Alison gets everyone fired up for the race with a great speech and the announcement that everyone will receive a 90 day free pass to 24 Hour Fitness. The people of Texas get teamed up with one of the contestants to do the race together. The contestants inspire them to walk/run at whatever pace they need to be at to complete the race….and they’re off!

Daris is determined to do his personal best for this race and vows that he will turn around to finish with the rest of his gang after completion.

As the do the 5K, the contestants do an awesome job cheering the people on and sharing their personal stories with them. Talk about inspiring!

Daris does complete the race with his personal best time and heads back to the rest of his group. Go Daris!

The happy and proud contestants and Texans finish the 5k.

Working out at 24 Hour Fitness with Bob:

Bob shows up at the 24 Hour Fitness in Texas to work out with a gang of people determined to create change. He also conducts a Q & A with them which is awesome!

Ashley, Daris and Michael find themselves forming a bit of a team of sorts as they are the ones left without partners. We see them walking stairs and inspiring each other.

Challenge:

The contestants meet Alison to find out about the challenge.  Each person will have to herd cattle into their pre-assigned pen.  The person who ends up with the most cattle in their pen will win immunity at this week’s weigh-in. This challenge does not look easy at all!

Koli wins immunity after it comes down to a 3-way tie!

Jillian Speaks at a High School with Abby:

Abby from Biggest Loser Season 8 invited Jillian to a High School in Texas that she has become very invested in. Jillian speaks and then opens up a Q & A session with the students. Jillian takes a few minutes after to speak to one brave overweight girl one-on-one.

Last Chance Workout:

O’Neil and Sunshine need to be away for the funeral of O’Neil’s brother. The rest of the contestants dig in for another last chance workout in Texas! Time to work hard!

Trainer Tip:

When traveling, pack your own healthy meals and snacks instead of eating food served on airplanes. Also, choose water to drink to help keep you hydrated.

They are doing the weigh-in in Texas and for some reason it is very cold. lol 36 degrees and they are in coats!
