(Original Air Date 1/12/2010)
Week 2 is infamous for being rough and this season was no different!
Bob and Jillian are obsessed with making it through week 2 and the contestants are hurting!
Jillian confronts John in the gym about losing his teammate James because he does not seem to be showing any emotion. Of course Jillian tries to “break” him very early on in the episode I might add. 😉
The contestants meet with Dr. Huizenga. Once again he stands before them and talks about the fact that this is the biggest and sickest groups that they have ever had on the show. Yes, it does seem to get worse every year.
Each team gets a medical task that they need to complete that allows them to see the reality of their situation.
Weekly Challenge:
Tonight Alison tells them that the contest will involve testing their balance. Each team must walk a balance beam across a pool carrying 10 beach balls across one at a time. The winning team will be granted immunity at the weigh-in. The last team to complete the challenge will incur a 2 lb penalty at the weekly weigh-in. There is A LOT at stake here!
The Black Team (Andrea & Darell) and Red Team (Melissa & Lance) are tied at the end and the Red Team brings it in for the win!
There is a struggle at the end when Maria of the White Team has a hard time with this challenge and falls at the end. There is a lot of blood and she is taken away in an ambulance. She ends up with a black eye and they have incurred the 2 lb penalty.
Jillian then proceeds to confront Maria in the gym about all of the fear that she is hanging onto. There is a breakthrough moment when Jillian helps her to conquer her fear of water in the pool. Go Jillian!
Dr. Huizenga meets with the individual teams to talk to them about the realities of their health issues and what will potentially happen to them if they don’t do something about their weight.
Next the Last Chance Workout – one word to describe it: HARD! Per usual!
