This will be the shortest Post so far, and that’s because this was a relatively uneventful episode.
I think this was by design. Because there have been several really good shows and it was really getting good. It feels to me like the producers pulled back the drama a little bit so they can start building it back for the final episodes of the season.
The show started right off with a challenge. The teams had fifteen minutes to place a flag one mile from the start point. Which ever team placed the flag closest to 1 mile would win a night out in Hollywood. The other three teams would have to clean the entire campus.
The black team won, so Rulon, Jay and Hannah all went out for a night on the town. They made some great choices at dinner. There was one interesting scene where a guy that was interested in Hannah, introduced himself and they spent some time talking. It was pretty motivating to see how much confidence Hannah had in herself now compared to before the show. It’s interesting to watch the psychological improvements that occur with weight loss. In fact, those are the true and meaningful benefits of being fit.
They showed one scene of the losers cleaning the kitchen as the black team was getting ready to go out.
The overall emphasis of the show was on Courtney, the only person left on the red team. If she lost the weigh in then she would automatically be eliminated. Apparently her trainer, Brett, would also be off of the show. And there was a real concern on her part, because she’s been going through a plateau for the last couple weeks.
Other than that, nothing exciting happened during this episode!
Turns out Courtney’s concerns were warrented. She only lost one pound and was immediately eliminated. Brett is gone too!!!
But here is something that is really important, and I think that you can derive a lot of inspiration and motivation from. When she was eliminated she weighed 231lbs. When they went back to chekc in with her, she was down to 210lbs. She figured out how to breack through her plateau and continue to loss weight (in the real world), and if she can do it; so can you!!!
This show did have a some great quotes, and here they are…
“There are ways to nurture and reward yourself that don’t involve eating a whole bag of chips”
“Find ways of coping with life’s hardships that aren’t destructive”
‘In the real world all of that stuff is going to be there, I want to teach you how to consume it in a healthy way”
“Believe in yourself, and let others believe in you too”
“I Finally make a change and I stuck to it, and look where it’s gotten me”
“I’m a beutiful person and I’m learning that”
“I’m constantly worring about other people and I have to take time for me”
“I Feel the best I’ve ever felt in my whole life”
“I’m going to keep going everyday, that’s all you can do”
“I took the first step and followed my dreams, now I’m going to fully live my life with health and happiness”
“You do not need to be on The Biggest Loser to lose weight. All you have to do is believe in yourself and trust the process!”
See you next week….
