(Original Air Date 12/1/2009)
This week’s show begins with a look at the remaining 4 contestants and how far they have come on their journey at the Ranch.
Alison announces that it is now time to leave the ranch for the next 60 days. They will be on their own, without trainers and the Biggest Loser Ranch. They will be surrounded by all of their old temptations and then have to return to face the scale one final time before the finale.
While at home the contestants each receive boxes from the Biggest Loser which contain videos of them at the beginning of their journeys. It’s really amazing how far each of them have come.
Bob and Jillian then call each of them to inform them that they will be taking part in a Biggest Loser rite of passage…running a marathon! Doh!
Celebrity Chef Curtis Stone arrives at Danny’s to show him and his family some healthy cooking tips. (This was a previous prize that Danny had won at the ranch)
Bob and Jillian then pay a surprise visit to each of the contestants at home to check in on how they are doing and talk to them about how they are dealing with old issues.
Race Day:
Alison announces that each contestant that crosses the finish line will receive a $10,000 donation to the charity of their choice. And they’re off…
Tara joins Danny and Liz while they run. Rudy’s original Biggest Loser partner, Dina catches up with him to run. At the halfway mark, Amanda’s best friend Brian begins running with her and when she is in a lot of pain we see Tara catching up with her to show some support.
The contestants are all really hurting during the race but they all do manage to finish with Rudy coming in first place. Wow! Great job!
Alison then announces that they now have one final thing to do…face the scale for one last weigh-in.
The Final Weigh-In:
At the final weigh-in, the two contestants with the highest percentage weight loss would automatically advance to the final, while the two below the yellow line would plead their case before America in the hopes of being voted the 3rd finalist.
Weigh-In Results: (pounds lost during 60 days away from Ranch, total lbs lost to date, current weight)
Amanda: 16 lbs, 80 lbs total, 170 lbs
Danny: 59 lbs, 201 lbs total, 229 lbs
Liz: 16 lbs, 85 lbs total, 182 lbs
Rudy: 43 lbs, 189 lbs total, 253 lbs
*Danny is one of only 4 players to ever lose over 200 lbs while at the Biggest Loser Ranch.
Danny and Rudy are automatically advanced to the finale, while Liz and Amanda must now plead their case before America for a vote to keep them in the finale. America will now vote and we will not find out the results until the live finale next week.
Next Week on the Show:
The live finale! One person will become the Biggest Loser and win $250,000. Yay!
