When the contestants of The Biggest Loser meet up with Alison on this week's episode, Antone immediately assesses that it's time for the "put the weight back on" challenge. The race up the mountain puts into perspective just how much everyone has changed and John crosses that finish line first, winning another 1 lb. advantage.
Before anyone can get too bitter, Alison announces that it's Makeover Week! After facials and massages, the contestants are greeted by celebrity stylist Jeannie Mai (and host of Style's "How Do I Look?") who takes them on a shopping spree. Jeannie is not only really cool and enthusiastic about helping everyone look their best, she picks out amazing things for them to wear. Their loved ones aren't even going to know what to do with themselves when they see them!
Excuse me while I pull it together after watching all of the reunions... yup, I'm a sucker for it every time.
Everyone's significant others get to stay for a special viewing of Cirque du Soleil's Iris and then even head back to the ranch to meet the trainers, sit down with them, and talk about life after The Biggest Loser. I think we can all agree it's not going to be an easy transition.
This week's last chance workout packs on the pressure for the contestants. Not only does getting through this week mean getting to the final four but it also means that they'll get to go home and continue their journey there in the hopes of making it to the final three. And let's not forget there's a marathon lurking in order to guarantee a spot in that three.
Here's how things went at the weigh-in:
Sunny: -1 (0.50%)
Antone: -8 (2.42%)
John: -9 + -1 advantage (3.28%)
Vinny: -10 (3.09%)
Becky: -5 (2.82%)
My favorite part is when Bob pretended to get mad because everyone's been busy walking red carpets and getting makeovers... like they had any control over it!
When it's time to vote and Becky, John, and Vinny decide that, surprisingly, it's Sunny that's sent home. To date, she's lost 96 pounds! Maybe Becky's right... maybe Sunny CAN win the at home prize.
The Biggest Loser airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
