(Original Air Date 3/2/2010)
The show opens where we left off before the Olympics break these past weeks. The contestants are at the US Olympics Training Center in Colorado watching to see who’s flame is going out first…Darell or Cheryl?
The winner…Cheryl! Darell is leaving us. 🙁 See in transformation notes at end of post.
Temptation Challenge:
Alison announces that they are now going Blue vs Black…Bob vs Jillian! We knew it was coming! 😉 AND the challenge winner will determine the teams.
The temptation challenge is a risky calorie game and a game that potentially holds a lot of power for the winner. Only Mike and Andrea decide to take part in the challenge. They must match card with different foods behind them and ultimately match the two winning ticket to win the game and have control. A match of two same foods means that the other contestants eats that food. No match and that person needs to eat a 100 calorie cookie.
Micheal ends up winning and Andrea has consumed 1320 calories by the end of the game.
Micheal gets to choose the two teams as well as one person to be immune this week. He could also choose himself to be immune but that person will not be placed on a team until the end of the week when one team loses the weigh-in.
I will color code the teams below for the posted weight-in. Michael chooses O’Neil to be immune.
And he basically breaks up most of the teams, putting himself on the blue team which appears to be the strongest team by far!
Bob and Jillian get the news about the teams and Jillian is once again ticked off because the odds are SO stacked against her once again. BUT would she really have it any other way? She seems to do quite well as the underdog. 😉
Trainer Tip:
Bob teaches us a way that we can burn more calories on the treadmill. Bump up the incline and do not use your hands to burn more calories.
The contestants work out for the first time as blue and black teams. Bob vows to work Michael’s temptation cookie calories off!
Team Challenge:
The teams meet Alison outside of two very high buildings. Each team needs to pull their team banner to the top of the building and they are doing so from the top of the buildings. The team to pull their banner to the top first will win letters from home. Yay! Everyone really wants this prize!
The black team does hang in there but the blue team pulls out the win and receives the letters from home.
A few of the contestants meet with Dr. H. to discuss very big improvements to their overall health. This is encouraging.
Last Chance Workout:
Booty whippin per usual! Jillian means business with her Black team and they are up for the challenge working hard as a team!
