(Original Air Date 4/6/2010)
The show opens with the contestants coming back from elimination. Sam is very appreciative that he was not the one to go home. Melissa goes on a bit to the camera about how the players on not really thinking about the game and what it takes to win.
They meet up with Alison and she announces that someone can win immunity with the simple push of a button…and curtain opens, sirens go off and we see the scale. The first player to lose more than 2% of their body weight can have immunity. When they are ready to weigh in during the week, they can push the button alerting everyone to the fact that they are about to weigh in. They only get one chance to weigh in.
Bob and Jillian join the gang and find out about the challenge and they have a good ol workout. Jillian really wants to focus on working with Sunshine this week. She is doing awesome!
Bob talks to Melissa and finds out where she is at with the game. Melissa is determined to win the immunity challenge and go to the final four.
The contestants meet with the doctor to talk about the healthiest way to quickly lose this 2% of weight that they are all aiming for.
The contestants are playing the game and trying to figure out when people will be weighing in for their chance at immunity.
Victoria is the first one to push the button to weigh in and the rest of the contestants come running to watch. Everyone thinks it is way too early! AND she does not make it.
Individual Challenge for a 2 wk Stay at the Biggest Loser Resort
To win the challenge the contestants will have to get 100 weights from the bottom of the pool and put them on their scale at the end of the pool. The first person to collect all 100 weights will win a trip for 2 to the Biggest Loser Resort. The person who finishes last will receive a 1 lb disadvantage at the weigh-in. When they are finished, they are free to help another contestant if they wish.
It comes down to a very tight race between Sunshine and Sam with Sunshine winning! YAY! She then takes off to help her dad, O’Neil. Once Sam knows that Koli is OK, he also goes to help O’Neil.
Then it comes down to Mike and Melissa for last and everyone goes to help Mike, leaving Melissa for last place. She now has the 1 lb disadvantage.
Melissa has no allies and knows that she needs immunity to stat in the game.
Koli and Sam wait for everyone else to go to bed and hit the gym for a serious workout before they plan to hit the button and weigh in the next day for immunity. They are determined to get there before Melissa.
Melissa also then hits the gym at 3AM!
The buzzer goes off and contestants scramble to see who it is…It is Sam! He makes his 6 lbs and loses 10 lbs total to win immunity this week! Go Sam!
Bob and Jillian get all of the scoop from the contestants!
Trainer Tip:
Don’t eat a big evening meal. Eat bigger meals earlier in the day because these calories are much easier to burn throughout the day.
Last Chance Workout:
Bob is focused on Koli, while Jillian focuses on Daris! Fun times per normal!
Jillian has a good heart to heart with Sunshine about her relationship with her dad and also the weight struggles for them both. Sunshine and O’Neil then have a very emotional and great talk.
Trainer Tip:
In order to be able to stick to healthy eating, eat strictly 2 days a week, moderately for 3 days and then allow yourself a bit of slack for the remaining 2 days.
