The Biggest Loser - They're Back

As everyone welcomed their teammates back; some were still missing Dan and David and lamenting the fact that they had to go home. The episode started with the at-home people weighing in and vying for immunity (the person that lost the most weight at home earned immunity for their team). Some did good (Laura, Cathy), while others did great (Carla, Shanon, Sione), while still others were awful (Aubrey). I did love it when Aubrey started to make excuses about muscle and fat and Jillian (and Bob) just shut that down. Sione ended up winning immunity for he and his cousin, Filipe (blue team) which guaranteed them another week at the ranch.

I will admit I paid very little attention to the challenge. It was something about ropes and partners where each team had to cross a finish line and try to win either $5000 or a 2-pound pass. The yellow team won the challenge and opted for the 2-pound pass.

Once again the last chance workout was brutal. Joelle did nothing (as usual) and continued to spout her nonsensical bullshit. I do wonder if Carla would go off on her again (always makes for good TV) because she seemed to be working her ass off.

The weigh in was (and is) as always shocking to see who does well and who does not. OK, the Joelle news (she lost 0) was not shocking but others were (I hate that the Brown team is under the yellow line again). So who will be voted off, Brown or Silver? Some will vote for Silver just because of Carla (she really wants it), but others will feel for Brown and young Mike. The suspense is killing me. At least the Brown team has two members that want to be on the Ranch. When asked flat out if she wanted to be on the Ranch, Joelle still could not give a straight answer. Oh wait Carla is going off on Joelle now...damn she is going to kick her ass. Joelle is smirking at her. Please tell her to shut up! Carla is crying. They will no longer be friends when this is over. As Shanon said, "Joelle opens her mouth and it is like she is not even on this planet." So true Shanon, so true!

So who gets to stay? Wait Joelle is still talking. They are voting her off and she is still making excuses. Finally no more chances for Joelle and the Silver team goes home. I feel for Carla because she was great but I am so pleased that Joelle and her mouth are leaving the Ranch. No one even hugs Joelle. I would throw out a "bless her heart" but I can't. The Silver team meets up for the first time in their transformation moment and Joelle is still burying her head n the sand. Oh wait they are no longer friends. Joelle curses at Carla and walks out. No more Silver team. Fine, go Carla and go to hell Joelle and your nasty attitude!

I was so happy to see her finally leave. I really felt bad for Carla, but after seeing her work hard at home and then work hard at the ranch I know she can do it on her own and I am sure she will show those boys (and Joelle) who is boss and win the at home prize!!

I really think Joelle has some really deep emotional problems that she is just not addressing. She always seemed so focused on the money instead of getting healthy. Then when she said she still lived at home with her mom and 25,000 was equal to 2 years of work I knew something else was up.

Hopefully she can work past her inner demons and actually work towards improving her life.

I just hope that Carla does not let Joelle bring her down.
