(Original Air Date 3/9/2010)
The show opens with O’Neil very nervous as the blue team returns from elimination. He is completely stressed out that daughter Sunshine will be voted off and is VERY relieved to see her return.
Blue team rallies together to discuss how they will work very hard this week to beat the black team.
Announcement: It’s Work Week
The contestants meet with Alison and she lets them know that this week they will be working! They will be working 8 hrs a day every day, commuting on the bus and with limited time to workout – just as they will be in real life. They are going to be working with volunteers at Feeding America.
Team Challenge:
The two teams will be pulling a 33,000 lb semi down a runway, picking up puzzle pieces along the way. When they get to the end of the runway, they will put together the puzzle to spell the reward which is free groceries for a year! Yay!
Blue starts out with a big lead but at some point black catches them and they are neck and neck at the end. Blue team does end up winning the challenge.
The contestants meet with Bob and Jillian to let them know that they will only have limited time to workout this week. In fact, the gym will only be open for certain hours during the day.
They begin there workout and everyone knows that they will have to pack some intense time into their short workouts to make them as effective as possible.
They enjoy their work a lot and do manage to get in short workouts throughout the week.
We hear an emotional story shared from Steve, a Food Bank Inventory Clerk. He is obese and lost his father to obesity at a very early age. The Biggest Loser contestants inspire him and let him know that he can get the weight off and be healthy.
During the course of the week, Cheryl and Sherry grow quite close and talk about their journey and how they can relate to each others as mothers who always seem to put others first.
The work week ends and the contestants pack their last chance workout into a shorter time slot as all workouts for the week have been.
Trainer Tip:
Jillian says that strength training combined with cardio is a more effective workout because muscle burns more body fat.
O’Neil and Sunshine share some intense moments on tonight’s show and talk about how close they’ve gotten.
