Episode 7 (10/25)
After a recap of last week's show we learn the contestants have lost a total of 627lbs. Have the contestants from last year's show been able to keep the weight off? We catch up with Aaron. He has lost a total of 60lbs and tells us he feels great. He has also sold his car and bought two dogs. (I guess he's saving money on gas these days.) As the girls (minus Jen) enter the common room, the guys are clearly upset. Mark leaves the room in disgust and the rest of the guys follow. Suzi says that they won't even give them a chance. Mark yells to Andrea not to talk to him anymore. He says you guys are the stupidest people he knows. Jen didn't fit into their little hairdresser crowd. It's just a popularity contest. Andrea thinks that Mark has cussed her out. Next we see Mark and Shannon having words. Shannon has been crying and feels uncomfortable. Mark tells her that they can all just stay away from each other and that should solve the problem. Yeah Mark..that's a real good idea. The contestants go to the elimination room. Caroline is there to change things up. They've been at the ranch for 55 days now on the blue or red team. As of right now those teams are gone. They will be dividing into pairs. There will be three guy/girl pairs and one guy duo. At the weigh in competition the team with the lowest percentage of combined weight loss will be the only two up for elimination. The rest of the pairs will decide who goes. They will only have one vote per pair. Suzi is nervous. Caroline feels the tension in the room and asks what's going on. Mark (Mr. Smarty Pants)says that he deals with dirtbags at work and he doesn't feel like dealing with them here. It makes him sick to be paired up with one of them. Andrea is disgusted. Caroline tells them that they are eight adults and that they need to suck it up! One of the contestants is going to be the one to pick the teams. Down the hall in the temptation room there are eight platters. The power is under one platter and food is under the rest. They could pick the platter with the power and win or pick the one with food and have to eat. Everyone picks a platter except Doc Jeff and Shannon. Jeff has promised his wife he would not do any temptation challenges and Shannon says she's already in the doghouse. Seth gets two donuts. Suzi gets two twinkies (which she doesn't even like twinkies). Pete gets the power. Matt gets carrot sticks. And Mark get a personal (greasy looking) pizza. Pete being the diplomat asks everyone who they want to be paired with. Mark immediately says Seth. Doc Jeff personally doesn't care. Shannon doesn't know. She doesn't like being called names. Andrea looks at it as an opportunity. Suzi (suprise)wants someone to push her. Mark says he'll take Suzi. Seth thinks Matt will help push him. Pete decides to take a walk and think about his decision. With power comes great responsibility. They are back with Caroline. Pete's decision as follows: Shannon paired with Matt. Pete tells him if he can understand a sister he can understand all women. Andrea paired with Mark. Suzi paired with Seth. And Pete pairs himself with Jeff. The teams take time to get to know each other better. Bob and Jillian finally make an apperance. They ask what's going on and are told about the new pairings. Jillian is struck dumb and doesn't understand. (Really Jillian it's not that hard to grasp). Bob says you just gotta roll with the punches. The trainers try working as a team. Everyone seems to be working well in the new pairings. Matt lets us know that he would be an ass if he didn't make an effort to get to know Shannon (finally, someone says something intelligent) Time for reward challenge for the new pairs. As the contestants are running up to their challenge on the beach Matt gives us the classic line..."I feel like we're on "Baywatch Super Sized" The reward for the pair will be surfing lessons...in Hawaii with a 5 night stay for two. The pair will also have immunity from the weigh in vote off. In the challenge one parnter is the holder and the other is the filler. The filler will run to the ocean and fill their bucket with water, then pour it into any other team "holder's" bucket. The holder will use all their strenght to hold onto the bucket the longest. When the holder lets go their out. Holders are Pete, Matt, Mark, and Seth. Fillers are Doc, Shannon, Andrea, and Suzi. Pete's out first, followed by Mark. It's down to Matt and Seth. Mark starts yelling to Doc Jeff to put water in Seth's bucket as Matt is about to lose his grip. Seth and Suzi win reward and are safe from elimination. On a sad note Matt has found out his uncle has died of a heart attack. Jillian is by his side to offer support and comfort. This tragic event has given Matt a new perspective on the competition. It's time for last chance workout. Everyone is giving it their all. In moments before the weigh in each pair is having a little talk. Mark tells Andrea it's hard not to be negative. Seth and Suzi are joking around. Shannon calls herself and Matt Beauty and the Beast. Pete tells Doc Jeff it's time to go my brother from another mother. Duo weigh in: The duo that stays above the yellow line is safe. Since Suzi and Seth won reward they are automatically safe. They show their progress anyway. Suzi 186 loses 4lbs 182 Seth 233 loses 0lbs 233 (Good thing they have immunity) Pete 325 loses 7lbs 318 Jeff 305 loses 11lbs 294 Total weight 630; Duo lost 18lbs. 2.86% Andrea 191 loses 6lbs 185 Mark 287 loses 14lbs 273 Total weight 478; Duo lost 20lbs. 4.18% Shannon 218 loses 6lbs 212 Matt 279 loses 17lbs 262 Total weight 497; Duo lost 23lbs. 4.63% Jeff and Pete are up for elimination. The other three teams have one vote and will decide as a pair who they will vote out. Jeff says he's ready to go home. Pete tells him not to say that. Jeff knows that Pete could have picked someone else to take himself further in the competition, but he thought about the team and not just himself. Jeff goes around lobbying to be sent home and for them to keep Pete. He thinks that Pete has alot of character and should be the one to stay. Andrea and Mark are talking about the hard decision and Mark starts crying like a big ole baby. We get out weekly montage and this time it's of Pete and Doc Jeff. Everyone is very emotional about this vote off. Both guys have seemed to play fair and be respectful of the other contestants, so the decision will not be an easy one. After 62 days at the ranch Doc Jeff has lost a total of 76lbs. Pete has lost a total of 83lbs. Matt/Shannon:Both guys have won by losing so much weight and they are good men. Vote Pete. Seth/Suzi: Hardest vote because this man is a caring person. Vote Jeff. Mark/Andrea: Mark crying like a big ole baby again. He loves both these guys. Votes Pete. Pete started the show at 401lbs. While at the ranch he lost 83 of those pounds. 24 hours after leaving the show we see Pete on the phone talking to his wife. He's just outside the door and she has no clue. When he sneaks up on her, I've never heard such screaming. She is totally thrilled to see her newly "trim" husband. They are both excited and Pete lets us know that they can now think about having children. Then we get the update and all I can say is WOW!!! Pete looks so great. He is down to 264lbs and looks awesome. He's playing basketball and taking walks with his wife. She has also taken off 50lbs of her own. Pete to date has lost a total of 137lbs. He must feel amazing.Source: http://alwaysrealitytv.com/index.php?showtopic=1332
