Episode 9 (11/8)
After a recap of last week's show, we learn the contestants have lost a total of 732lbs. One of last years contestants, David brings us up-to-date about keeping the weight off. He looks like he works out regularly. (Does anyone remember David?) Only six remain, as Caroline changes things up again. Now it's every man and woman for themselves. The two people at the next weigh in below the yellow line will be up for elimination. Here's were the contestants stand at the beginning of our show: Matt 339- 85lbs lost -25.07% Jeff 370- 86lbs lost -23.24% Suzi 227- 47lbs lost -20.70% Seth 291- 59lbs lost -20.27% Shannon 259- 49lbs lost -19.07% Andrea 220- 36lbs lost -16.63% In a private interview Andrea proclaims: Game On! (lpatrick has flashback of Toni yelling at Dave on PH). During the end of the week weigh-in, it will be about the week to week percentage, not overall percent. Jillian is crying because Mark's gone. She is also relieved that she can cater to the individual needs of the guys. Temptation challenge: Bob and Jillian are in dunk tanks. (If you type too fast it comes out drunk tanks) The contestants can eat a 10 calorie candy and have a chance to dunk their trainer. Matt starts to figure how many calories he can waste and comes up with 130. Jillian yells that they're just empty calories... don't do it!! He gets her on the fourth try. Andrea gets Bob on the first try. She goes for a second and misses, and just has to go back for a third. (Is it the chocolate or seeing Bob dripping wet?!?) Suzi tells us how much Andrea got into the challenge. Suzi cheers her on and wants her to keep eating those calories. Suzi says (in her sweet as honey voice), "Whatever, it's individual now!" Matt has made the decision to cut his hair. Suzi is ready to snipsnip. She knows this will increase his confidence. Matt is nervous, but is ready to let go of his security blanket. After the haircut everyone Uhhh's and Ahhh's. He's called hot and cute. The cut makes him look younger and thinner. Suzi tells us-"He's good looking, seriously." It's a jog to the big gym to prepare for the reward challenge. Bob's trying to get Shannon moving. She's telling him that her foot hurts. He continues to try and motivate her. She gets in his face saying that he is supposed to be her trainer and should know that she's hurting. Bob tells her that he IS her trainer and he's taken great offense to her comments. Reward Challenge: Ultimate Jump Rope. This will be their first individual challenge. The winner will receive immunity with the elimination pass and the NextFit exercise bike. Each contestant will start on a platform. As the motorized bar turns they must jump the bar without breaking it. Shannon doesn't care about her pain anymore. She wants immunity. Jeff is out first, followed by Andrea. Suzi is out next, then Shannon. It's down to Matt and Seth once again. After 15 minutes the bar is at its maximum speed and Matt wins. Everyone tells the trainers how great Shannon did during the challenge. She lasted for 9 minutes. Bob is very proud that she stepped up and pushed herself. The last chance workout is very competitive. Jillian has a talk with Dr. Jeff. She's lost Mark and Pete. She's worried Jeff may go and she is going to fight for him. (i.e. She's going to work his butt off) Matt decides not to bother with the last chance workout. Instead he's going to up his calories and sits down to a huge plate of food. He wants to put on a little weight so he can take it off next week. (What's he thinking???) Time for individual weigh in: Caroline reminds everyone the most important thing is to stay above the yellow line. Matt has immunity, so he's safe this week. As he goes to be weighed he tells everyone he's gained a little. Matt 254 gains 12lbs 266 +4.72% ( At this point Matt is a little suprised that he's added twelve pounds. Should he rethink his strategy of eating large amounts of food and not working out on a show where the goal is to lose weight). Andrea 184 loses 5lbs 179 -2.72% Seth 232 loses 13lbs 219 -5.60% Suzi 180 loses 10lbs 170 -5.56% (Suzi says she hasn't weighed 170 since she was in the ninth grade). Shannon 208 loses 8lbs 200 -3.85% Jeff 284 loses 14lbs 270 -4.93% (Dr. Jeff has broken the 100lbs lost mark). Suzi, Seth, Matt, and Jeff will decide between Andrea and Shannon. Jillian is very excited for Dr. Jeff losing one hundred pounds. Shannon and Andrea leave the room crying. Bob tries to give them a pep talk. It's time for another intimate moment with Bob and Andrea. She's sad. She tells him how he's changed her life and she lovves him. They embrace. Time for elimination: Shannon walks in first looking very divafied. Since their could be a possible tie for vote off, the person with the lowest percentage will go ( that's Andrea). Suzi:(sobbing) This is the hardest choice by far. Votes Shannon. Seth: This person is a threat. Votes Shannon. Jeff: Has kind words for both women. Votes Andrea. Matt: Makes a statement to both. Shannon cries because he really admires her. Votes Shannon. Shannon is leaving the ranch feeling more in control. She takes being a threat to the others as a positive. From the beginning to leaving the ranch she lost a total of 57lbs. Twenty four hours later she's reunited with her family. Shannon hopes to be an inspiration to her family to help them lose weight also. Catching up with the Diva: She looks like the diva she proclaims to be. She has lost a total of 87lbs and currently weighs 170lbs. She looks very pretty and feels great.Source: http://alwaysrealitytv.com/index.php?showtopic=1371
