Biggest Loser Couples Switch Trainers and Teams

This was an emotional part one of a two part series. Teams got changed up a bit, trainers were shocked and even crying, and the longest Biggest Loser challenge yet this season!

Pop Challenge Changes the Teams

The stakes are high for this challenge - potentially new trainers and teams! The contestants have to do 100 football up-downs, which means they have to lay on their bell (in the mud!) and then stand up and tap a medallion above their head, then back down. Only one person from every duo competed. The first player to get all 100 up-downs completed won and couple choose their trainer and they got to stay together. The last to finish would automatically be split up, or if a single would go to the other trainer and team.

Tara finished first, Sione second, Mandi third, Mike fourth, Kristin, and then Helen last.

New Black Team

Tara - stayed
Laura - stayed
Helen - new
Sione - new
Filipe - new
Mike - new

New Blue Team

Mandi - new
Aubrey - new
Dane - new
Ron - stayed
Kristin - stayed

Needless to say, everyone who had to switch or be split up was devastated!

Jillian and Bob are Stunned

Both Jillian and Bob were shocked when they found their teams were split up. Jillian told her new team to embrace the chance to work with both trainers while on the ranch. There is clearly something to learn from both.

Bob broke down when he ran into some of his old team, while dealing with the loss of some team members while still trying to encourage and be supportive of his new members.

Cycling 24-Hour Challenge

The challenge was a 24-hour challenge! Each team had one stationery bike, where one at a time, team members had to clock as many miles as possible. The team with the most miles at the end would get a 3 lb advantage at the next weigh-in, and each team member would get their own track bike!

The Black team pulled it out in the end clocking 301 miles in 24 hours! That’s 12.5/miles per hour. And Tara clocked the most miles for the team.
