(Original Air Date 3/16/2010)
The show opens with Daris very sad that his mother (Cheryl) was voted off at the elimination.
Pop Challenge
The contestants meet with Alison and she announces a pop trivia challenge where contestants from each team will go head-to-head to answer nutrition questions.
Winners will win a night at the Four Season which includes a meal and spa treatments AND losers have to clean the kitchen and the gym at the ranch.
The challenge comes down to a tie and then the blue team rallies for the win – off to the spa while the black team faces cleaning duties.
The blue team enjoys their meal and spa treatments while the black team has a very difficult time with the clean-up. Ugh!
Trainer Tip:
Bob offers tips for those who sit at a desk for work and have a hard time burning calories during the day. Keep a resistance band at work to do some light strength training. Replace your office chair with a stability ball which will constantly work your core muscles.
Sam is a great cheerleader with his black team…encouraging them to not think negatively and persevere to win the weigh-in this week.
Jillian works out the black team per her usual tough style.
Blue team returns to the ranch determined to get right into their workouts with Bob who does not want to see his team get cocky.
Jillian has heart to heart with Ashley about what she is feeling about her mom and feeling guilty because she feels that she needs to now focus on herself. Of course Jillian gets the two of them together to talk it out so that Ashley does not keep these feelings inside. Talk seems great for both Sherry and Ashley.
Mike gets a call from his mother that his grandmother is in poor health and he goes to be with them.
Team Cooking Challenge:
Curtis Stone joins Biggest Loser tonight to judge the cooking challenge.
The teams have 30 min to cook an appetizer, entree and dessert using only 12 ingredients. Curtis will judge the winning team.
Reward is huge! Winning team will have a 5 lb advantage at the weigh-in.
Go into the 3rd course tied and….black team takes it! Yay!
Jillian is happy to learn about the win and 5 lb advantage!
Bob meets with blue team and learns that Mike had to go home and of the 5 lb advantage that the blue time now holds. He is determined to have a good last change workout with his team.
Teams head into last chance workout for the normal booty kicking!
Mike returns to the ranch. His grandmother is on a ventilator and it does not look good for her but he is at peace with returning to the ranch because it was what his grandmother wanted for him. Mike learns a lot about balance while he is away because he managed to find time to workout twice a day even though it was a stressful and emotional situation.
