Biggest Loser Couples Coming Home

After the elimination of Mandi, Black team was asked into the elimination room. Everyone was told that they would all be going home for the next week, and would return for the next weigh-in.

Going Home

While everyone had wonderful homecomings, Mike and Ron’s was the most heart-warming. First Ron walked through the door 91 lbs lighter, and his wife was amazed. But, when Mike walked in a whopping 110 lbs lighter, his brother broke down in tears. He knew he was the biggest guy left in the house, and that his brother Mike was a shining example of what he could do.

Temptation Challenge at Home

The contestants will run half a marathon (13.1 miles). The tin of cookies is the temptation part of the challenge. For every cookie they eat from the tin, they can add 5 minutes to any contestants marathon time. The contestant with the shortest time for the half marathon wins. The winner gets $10,000!

The Race

Sione was in the lead, and only 200 yeards from the finish line, his leg started cramping up so much that he couldn’t walk another step. He laid down and stretched his legs and then Filipe came along and helped him to his feet, and Sione finished.

Here are everyone’s race times:

Tara: 2:24:19
Sione: 2:25:57
Helen: 2:49:19
Aubrey: 2:53:02
Cathy: 3:15:21
Mike: 3:19:38
Laura: 3:24:00
Filipe: 3:24:05
Kristin: 3:43:45
Ron: 1:52:34 for 4 miles

Back on the Biggest Loser Ranch

Once they got back to the Ranch, they were told the results of the Race Challenge. Tara and Sione obviously had the fastest time. And, nobody penalized Sione with the sugar cookies, so his time stands. Tara had the fastest time, but Helen ate a cookie against Tara.

Thanks to Helen Sione won $10,000!

The Weigh-In

Elimination

Cathy asked the Blue team to send her home to spare her daughter Kristin from elimination. Everyone respected her wishes and voted her out.

Now Cathy has a new addiction - spinning. She even got her other daughters spinning and running. Her daughters have lost 48 lbs and 15 lbs each, and Cathy has lost 78 lbs total. Congratulations!
