(Original Air Date 9/29/2009)
This week starts out with a crazy bang…
Individual Challenge:
The theme of the week was “Would You Rather”. The contestants were given the choice of having a 2 lb advantage at the weigh-in if they would be willing to give up their training with Jillian and Bob for the whole week. The teams could step forward if they were willing to take Alison up on the offer and only one team would be given the advantage. No one was dumb enough to give up their trainers for only 2 lbs UNTIL Tracey did step up – much to the surprise of her poor partner Coach Mo.
Everyone was shocked and trainers Jillian and Bob were completely ticked off at Tracey that she would throw out the training for 2 measly lbs. It was like a slap in the face! They (Bob) kept their cool and had a real heart to heart with her to be sure that she understood how important these choices were that she was making.
Temptation Challenge:
Alison hit the contestants up with a temptation, asking them “would you rather control your diet or the game”?
The winner of the temptation would be able to choose one person from each team to represent the team weight loss for the week.
The contestants were faced with small cupcakes worth 100 calories each. Whoever at the most cupcakes would win the temptation. Only two people ate any cupcakes – Antoine with 2 and TRACEY (shocker!) at 4 cupcakes!
The contestants were shocked and Jillian and Bob were completely thinking she was crazy!
Trainer Tip:
Jillian Michaels (trainer): To improve your balance, stand with one leg raised on a sofa cushion. Move a medicine ball from side to side and overhead while balancing on the one foot. Once this is mastered, try the same thing with your eyes closed.
Team Challenge:
The winning team of the challenge would be granted immunity at the weekly weigh-in.
The teams had to carry a total of 500 lbs to the top of an inclined ramp and the first to do so would raise their colored flag at the end of the ramp.
The teams could choose between carrying two 5 lbs weights that were the furthest distance from the ramp or one 25 lb weight that was close to the ramp. The teams were pretty much equally divided in their choice of weights.
The green team of Allen and Abby won with their choice of the two 5 lb weights.
Last Chance Workout:
The last chance workout was grueling as usual!
Everyone made a point to suck up to Tracey because of the decision that she would make as to whose weight would count at the weigh-in.

Next Week on the Show:

Stay tuned!
