The Biggest Loser - Couples Edition

Last night all of the final 9 contestants on the Biggest Loser got to go home for the week and re-enter their lives. The idea was that then these people could see how hard it was going to be to continue eating right and exercising regularly without Bob and Jillian yelling at them.

It was interesting and heartwarming to see everyone go home. For those with children it must be doubly hard to be away but they continue to say that this is all for the "right" reasons (as if the 250 thousand has nothing to do with it). I have to say that when Paul's girlfriend (did anyone else ever hear him mention a girlfriend)sees him talking constantly about still loving Kelly she is going to be slightly upset. Also, Paul when Jillian calls, call her back or answer the phone and don't eat chicken wings and drink coca cola all week.

The teams returned to the ranch and the Blue team clued Bob in on how well they had done. All of the Blue team worked out daily and ate like they were supposed to (except Dan had two glasses of wine, give him a break please). I was a little concerned with Mark's obsession with his son's sweet tooth. Children can have sweets and fun foods to eat, just not every day and not in excess. If you yell at your children about what they are eating you are just setting them up for major eating issues later on in life. Believe me, I know. The Black team on the other hand did not fare as well as the Blue team at home and you could tell that Jillian was pissed.

On to the challenge where the Black team won and asked that Dan and Roger (from the other team) weigh in 24 hours early. 27 pounds later it looked as if the Blue team had nothing to worry about. So right!! The Blue team won by 30 pounds and the Black team could not even compete. At the elimination Paul was voted off (Kelly won immunity) and he made no one sad to see him go by wearing his yellow shirt to his fate.

So Paul is gone, the Blue team blew the Black team out of the water and Kelly just wants her teammates to like her. Next week should be fun (lots of crying going on) as we are down to the final 8. I am going out on a limb and betting on Dan or Roger to win it. We shall see!
