The Biggest Loser Season 13

 

by Gina Scarpa

 

Makeover Week continues on The Biggest Loser at the White House with Michelle Obama! She greets the contestants and their families, commenting on how impressed she is with their weight loss. Once she makes the rounds, she plugs her fitness initiative, Let's Move, and everyone participates in a workout together. Bob seems a little nervous about training the First Lady, but can you blame him?! Before they leave, the contestants are offered a challenge - she wants each of them to sign as many people up for the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award, which asks people to eat healthily and get active for six weeks. The winner gets $30,000 worth of fitness equipment for their community.

 

The positive vibes don't last long, though. Back on the ranch, Roy calls Chris to let her know that he can't take it anymore - he needs her to come home. Instead of standing up for herself and saying that she needs to stay and compete, she hangs up, and goes into a binge eating frenzy that would make even the heftiest eater feel sick to their stomach. A grilled cheese with peanut butter and mayo?! And that's just the tip of the iceberg...

 

The next day, she walks on the treadmill with a face that begs for attention and she gest it from Bob, in the form of some very tough love. Not only does she need to stay on the ranch for her own health and well-being, but she needs to not always be the one there for her husband. When is he there for her, he asks? She can't answer and it's for the best that the subject is dropped. She wants to stay but it's going to be hard to turn around the damage she's done to herself with just one workout.

 

After weighing in, the players end up in the following order:

 

Jeremy -11lbs (4.23%)
Buddy: -9 -1lb advantage = -10 (3.72%)
Mark: -4lbs (2.00%)
Conda: -5lbs +1lb disadvantage = -4 (1.90%)
Kim: -2lbs (1.22%)
Chris: +2lbs (+1.18%)

 

For a minute, I thought the guys might band together and send Kim home, given what a threat she is to win. They stick by their teammate though, and Buddy gives us an emotional moment when he says Kim's like a sister. Chris is the one to go, and it seems it's perhaps for the best - for her, for the remaining players, and for us having to watch her at home.

 


The Biggest Loser airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
