The Biggest Loser - Family Road Trip

I finally watched Tuesday's episode of The Biggest Loser and let me tell you, it was a real tear jerker. Now I know that most people cry every time they watch this show (I certainly do its so inspiring...barf) but this past weeks episode focused a lot on the father/daughter team (Coleen and Jerry). Who doesn't cry when a dad gets teared up?

So the remaining 6 couples took a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Along the way they were met with a temptation, Heba and Ed (Orange) won, and the prize was to spend the nights in the RV as opposed to the cots on the camp ground. There was also a challenge to actually win said RV and again Heba and Ed won it handily. The families spent a week at the Grand Canyon and there was very little exercise done. Not a lot of walking/running, no weights or strength training; it just seemed like a lot of sitting around.


Back at the ranch Jillian (and Bob surprisingly) was pissed about the total lack of training. Hike, walk, get off your ass its the Grand Canyon people. Both Bob and Jillian were evil demons for the last chance workout (and rightly so) and most of the contestants were crying at the end. Jerry was hurt during the workout and was sent to the hospital leaving Coleen behind to carry the load (a little foreshadowing if you will).

The weigh in was a little tense with everyone wondering if they still were able to lose weight after a week of very little activity. Alison made a surprise announcement that from now on only one member of a team was going home which meant that the remaining member would have to soldier on alone at the ranch. This scared everyone and the weigh in began. Not surprisingly Jerry and Coleen (yellow) lost the weigh in (he was injured) and had to decide who needed to stay more. The decision was made and Jerry, taking one for the team and his daughter, was sent packing.


I do wonder what will happen to the rest of the teams once they are split up. It was nice to see my Red team do so well but so sad to see Jerry go. Till next week. Later taters.
