This was week two of Singles. There are no more teams, it’s everyone for themselves.
They also shortend the show to one hour. I think that’s because there are only seven people left and the team challenges are over or they needed the two hours for the Premier of “The Voice”. The theme for this episode was “Favorite Week”.
To start out the show brought back two of the favorite contestants from previous seasons. They brought back Ali, who was the first lady to be The Biggest Loser. They also brought back Sam, who was the first person to leave the show, because he had reached his goal weight. Both Ali and Sam (who is now a personal trainer), took everyone through a workout.
The next favorite thing from that past was a challenge. Each person would have to pull a car on a race track a quarter of a mile. They also brought back Tara, another previous contestant who is known for winning a lot of challenges. They would have to compete against her. The prize for the winner was this weeks integrated marketing commercial.
- A VIP trip to Richmond Int. Speedway for a NASCAR race.
- The winners picture on a Wheaties box
- $5000 cash!
The Biggest Loser brought to you by NASCAR and Wheaties!
Anyway Tara, Miss “I win every challenge”, pushed hard at the end to beat Rulon! She does really rock at these challenges.
Then last chance workout.
Rulon was not too into this workout and Cara noticed and went to find out what was up. Rulon said that he came to the show to find what he had lost; his life, his health, himself. He also said that he had found all of that and he was shifting his focus on maintaining his success in his real life. Cara, agreed and that was that.
Then it was time for the weigh in.
Before the weigh it Rulon asked to speak to everyone. He said his time on The Biggest Loser Ranch was done and he was leaving the show. He really didn’t give a very good explanation. I guess this the first time that someone has quit the show, that hadn’t reached their goal weight.
Here’s why he left!
Rulon is not a strong or mature person. Just a couple weeks ago he was sneaking whole bags of chips because “He felt like he deserved a treat”. That is not the way to be prepared for the real world. He didn’t reach his goal. He’s a quitter. He got beat by a much smaller lady in a challenge that he should have easily won. He was embarrassed by that and he wanted off of the show.
I don’t think Rulon developed the skills to succeed on his own. I predict he will put a ton of the weight that he lost back on…if not all of it.
At the weigh in both Irene and Kaylee fell below the yellow line. Irene lost 3 pounds to put herself at a total of 101 pounds lost. Kaylee gained 2 pounds, and she’s been all over the map gaining and losing weight. For that I think she should have been voted off. Irene is the Biggest Loser so far this season, and Kaylee isn’t really losing any weight over the last month.
I don’t know if everyone else agreed with my but Kaylee was voted off!
With both Kaylee and Rulon gone only five people are left…including my pick Hannah (but her sister Olivia is coming on strong too)!!!
Now for the quotes of the week
“I have a voice, I know who I am”
“I’m worth this, I want something good for myself”
“I want this for me”
“I’m ready to embrace life”
“I’m in the drivers seat, it’s my decision, my life”
“Nothing is holding me back, not even myself”
See you next week…
