The Biggest Loser: Taste Test; Keep on Truckin'

With Bob as the new host, the teams are going to-to-toe with each other and with temptations. Their first challenge is to sit in front of a ridiculous amount of fatty foods in a mall food court. Each year Americans spend over 1 billion dollars eating this type of food. During this trivia contest the trainers will pick one person from each team to go head-to-head. They will race back, push the buzzer then the winner gets to make two people from the other team to eat the dish. They don't have to eat it if they don't want to, but if they don't they get penalized a point. The trainers can chose one round to take one for their team, which means they'll volunteer to eat the food for their team. Team Dolvett wins their second challenge, so not only does Team Jen have to eat the apple pie, but Dolvett gets to chose one person to sit out during the weigh-in.

At a research medical facility they walk into an autopsy room and see the Biggest Loser doctor. The point is to show that the food choices we make are life and death. When Colby realizes he takes in over 460 pounds of sugar a year the entire room gasps. After opening everyones eyes it's time to work out and learn some alternative choices for food. For instance, ground turkey is a good substitute for beef when making a hamburger.

Now it's time to strategize on who will sit out during the weigh-in. They choose Colby because they noticed he was working hard for better numbers. Good choice because he was 321 and is now down to 309, a 12 pound loss.

Sarah - 250 to 244, down 6 pounds
Toy - 308 to 302, down 6 pounds
Vicki - 226 to 220, down 6 pounds
Erin - 228 to 222, down 6 pounds
Luis - 285 to 278, down 7 pounds
Felicia - 220 to 216, down 4 pounds
Rob - 306 to 299, down 7 pounds
Richard - 301 to 294, down 7 pounds
Roberto - 324 to 315, down 9 pounds
Steven - 298 to 289, down 9 pounds
Hope - 222 to 220, down 2 pounds
Whitney - 243 to 243, down 0 pounds
Lauren - 223 to 215, down 8 pounds
Jacky - 290 to 287, down 3 pounds
Team Jen = 2.09%
Team Dolvett = 1.85%

It's between Whitney and Jacky on who is going home. The votes are cast and the person leaving is ::SPOILER ALERT:: Whitney. She still has the at-home prize to work towards. The moment Whitney leaves Felicia goes off on how she doesn't feel Dolvett is doing a good enough job keeping the team together. Dolvett feels that he was so hard on them because he felt like he was encouraging them. However, he realizes that particular tactic isn't working for a lot of his team. He feels as if he has failed them and promises to work with them better in the future.

Off to the next challenge. It's a food truck challenge but not as you'd expect. The teams have to pull the trucks over 600 ft. Six people will participate: 2 will pull the first truck, 4 will pull the second truck, then all 6 will pull the third truck. The winning team will get a lesson from Chef Lorena Garcia (lettuce wrapped tacos for under 300 calories each) while the losing team has to eat tacos from the food truck. Colby and Sarah have to sit out due to not having medical clearance.

Bob gives them a last chance rowing challenge for a two pound advantage. Team Jen gets the two pounds advantage to their overall weight.

Colby - 309 to 300, down 9 pounds
Rob - 299 to 289, down 10 pounds
Roberto - 315 to 308, down 7 pounds
Stephen - 289 to 283, down 6 pounds
Sarah - 244 to 237, down 7 pounds
Toy - 302 to 295, down 7 pounds
Lauren - 215 to 211, down 4 pounds
Felicia - 216 to 209, down 7 pounds
Hope - 220 to 218, down 2 pounds
Jacky - 287 to 278, down 9 pounds
Luis - 278 to 273, down 5 pounds
Richard - 294 to 285, down 9 pounds
Team Jen = 2.48%
Team Dolvett = 2.73%

It is between Hope and Luis on who is going home. The second person leaving tonight is ::SPOILER ALERT:: Hope. It's very emotional as she leaves her husband, Colby, but she has a goal of losing weight to get pregnant. So, she is ready to move forward with her weight loss no matter where she is.

 

Since leaving, Whitney lost a total of 31 pounds. She enjoys running outside and trying new exercises. Hope has lost a total of 32 pounds and says she's ready to have a baby.
