The Biggest Loser is back tonight with its 9th episode of the 13th season and we will be covering the show live for you. On last week’s episode Daphne knew she was going to be sent home, she wanted to go home because she was not happy with the toxic atmosphere. Bob told her if she went home he would help her as much as he could. He feels she can succeed at home.
In the elimination room there was so much fighting that Alison had to tell the black team that it was enough. Predictably Daphne was eliminated and Conda did not shut up. I wanted to slap Conda through the television. If you missed last week’s show you can read our official recap here!
On this week’s show the 11 remaining players put what they’ve learned to the test when they all go home for 18 days and are given the chance to gain immunity by losing 5% of their body weight. They’ll also compete individually in a home rowing challenge that will earn the winner $10,000 when they are revealed at the weigh-in. While some contestants struggle with being back in their home environments, others prove they can stay on track, especially with the support of family and friends. Later, the contestants return to the ranch for grueling last chance workouts with trainers Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince before the weigh-in reveals who lost enough to gain immunity. Then another player goes home in the most emotional elimination.
Meanwhile last week it was reported that contestants of the show were not happy after finding out about a ‘twist’ which could cost them the quarter of a million dollars in prize money that is up for grabs. Those left standing reckon it’s not fair. Why should someone who left weeks ago be allowed to not only re-enter the competition but also be in the running for the $250,000? So they’ve banded together and given the Producers an almighty belly ache. They actually walked off the set while the cameras were rolling. Story has it the show is back on track but 2 players were given the boot. We have no idea who the 2 contestants were but if I was guessing I would say Conda and Kim!
The Biggest Loser airs at 8PM and we will be live blogging it with all the up-to-the-minute details, weigh-ins and elimination. So make sure to come back to this spot and spend the evening with us! While you wait for the recap, check out a sneak peek video of tonight’s show below!
