The Biggest Loser - Couples

Down to the final five with only two more episodes until the finale, it makes total sense to take the whole crew to Australia? Why go to Australia, I do not know, but off they went last night to Sydney for a little vacation. If I were Dan (who was eliminated last week) I would be pissed. One episode shy of going to Australia, yeah that sucks. Before flying off to Australia Mark has a little meeting with the girls to discuss getting rid of Roger (they view him as the biggest threat). What happened to team solidarity and sticking with your boys, Mark? I hope Big Rog kicks your now skinny ass!

The five arrive in Australia to see their trainers, Bob and Jillian, who did not know who had been eliminated at the last episode. Bob's face fell when he realized Dan was gone (I always knew that Dan was his favorite) but he smiles at his remaining boys and vows to keep them all around. The group gets to site see around the city but also has to continue with the workouts.

For the challenge the entire group has to climb Harbor Bridge (the big bridge in Sydney) to find out from Allison what they need to do. Of course Mark starts crying (again) because he has a fear of heights. Please make this man stop crying all the time. It is starting to get ridiculous. I know he has lost a bunch of weight but that does not mean that his tear ducts are now open wider. Stop crying sissy boy! Once the group arrives at the top Allison informs them that they will be competing in a triathlon (swim, bike, run) and the finish line is at the top of a 44 story building (no you cannot take the elevator up). The remaining contestants are off with Mark and Alli in the lead. Big Rog brings up the rear in the water but is able to pass Kelly on the steps. Alli and Mark tie and win the prize which is a sea plane tour of Sydney. They also receive a phone call home. Shock of all shocks Mark begins to cry again!

On to the weigh-in; no one loses a bunch of weight this week. Alli wins the weigh-in again and Big Rog is safe although he only loses two pounds. Below the yellow line are, wait for it....the two brothers. The group has to decide between Mark and Jay. During deliberation both brothers start crying (shock!) and Jay decides to sacrifice himself for his brother. Mark stays and Jay goes home and they both cry (again).

One more week until the live finale. My money is still on Roger, although Alli is gearing up to be the first female "Biggest Loser". I wonder who will win the $100,000 for the contestants not on the ranch? Curtis? Dan? Neal (yeah right!). Two more weeks!!!!
