The Biggest Loser - Part 2

I was unable to watch the second part of The Biggest Loser until last night (damn the debates for messing up my television schedule). If you remember we left the families working out and getting yelled at by Jillian. In fact Jillian had just sent Amy (Purple Team) out of the gym because Amy was being sarcastic and not taking the workouts seriously.

Another day and another epiphany as Amy realizes that she can not get rid of this weight alone. Amy returns to the gym where Jillian praises her decision but they stay away from each other for the rest of the day. As always the last chance workout is intense and everyone looks like they are on the verge of tears at the end of the session.

Time to tackle the scale and Coleen (Yellow) weighs in first and has only lost three pounds. If Coleen goes home the Yellow Team will no longer exist at the ranch (her Dad left last week) and Coleen does not want this to happen (plus she wants the $250,000 but no one ever mentions the money). Finally, finally after four or five more teams Ed and Heba (Orange) arrive at the scale and do not lose enough to beat Coleen. Yep that's right, the Orange Team has fallen below the yellow line and one of them will be going home.


Back at the house both Ed and Heba try to decide what is right for their family. They both agree that Heba should stay for her "health" and for the unborn children that they want to have. What Ed really should have said was that Heba was stronger than him, she pushed harder and she has a better chance of winning the money than he does (again no one ever mentions the money). Ed goes home, Heba wonders how she will sleep alone at the Ranch and everyone else is just stressing about what will happen next week. At this point I decided that I needed a bowl of ice cream and some cookies. Later taters.
