Tonight on NBC The Biggest Loser returns with an all new Thursday October 23, season 16 episode 7 called “The Drop.” On tonight’s episode in a pool challenge, the teams are tasked to hold a percentage of their body weight in order to keep their trainers from falling into a pool, and the last-place team loses its trainer for the week. Elsewhere, two eliminated contestants team up at Comeback Canyon; and one contestant gives her trainer a look at her past.
On the last episode the contestants returned to the Los Angeles Coliseum this week, where their journey began, to face their first temptation – a tailgating challenge. Each player entered a tent filled with stadium food favorites, and had to decide whether to consume the high-calorie food and possibly win the coveted prize of immunity, or walk away from the temptation eating nothing. Later, one player opened up to his trainer about issues from childhood that have continue to take an emotional toll, while one of Bob’s ‘Comeback Canyon’ contestants gave him a very special gift. Then a red line at the weigh-in sends one contestant from the ranch to a surprised second chance at Comeback Canyon, while one of Bob’s two eliminated contestants there headed home for good. Did you watch the last episode? If you missed it, we have a full and detailed recap right here for you.
On tonight’s episode a challenge at the beginning of the week causes quite a splash as the red, white and blue teams have to hold a certain percentage of their body weight to keep their trainers from falling into a pool. The team that drops their trainer first loses them for the week, while the team that drops their trainer second will only have their trainer at the last chance workout. While the two teams without their trainers try to rise to the challenge at the ranch, Bob Harper tries to get his two eliminated contestants to work together as a team at Comeback Canyon. And one contestant takes a trip away from the ranch and gives her trainer a glimpse of her “glory days.” Then a weigh-in full of surprises – including one player reaching “One-derland” – ends with one contestant falling below the dreaded red line, but thrilled to get a second chance at Comeback Canyon.

Bob was happy to see Gina come to comeback canyon, she was so excited and motivated to be back in the competition and to go against Matt; they will be going through some intense training. Jessie has his team to tap into their former athletes, Lori was in 3 olympics and wants her to pitch for him; Jessie couldn’t even hit it. Three strikes and Jessie is out, Lori still has it in her. Lori is using this opprotunity to really get back the old Lori.
The challenge this week has to do with a giant pool, the team will have to make sure their trainer doesn’t fall into the water; the team that loses doesn’t get to see their trainer for training all week. The second place team only gets to see them once at the end of the week. The contestants must hold up the weight, if any let go then their trainer will drop. Scott is trying his hardest to hold it, but he’s starting to slip; Rob is struggling a bit but can’t give up. He really needs Dovette to be there for him, Scott can’t even hold on anymore and drops his rope. Jordan also drops it, now Rob is on his own holding the weight; he is not giving up at all.
Rob sadly lets go and Dovette is gone, Rob is very angry at himself because of that; he really feels like he’ll be going home this week because of it. The white team fails as well, the blue team wins this challenge and keeps Jessie with them the whole week. Rob reallys beleives they are in trouble and feels like they have a lot of planning to do. The white team is by themselves and pushing each other to do the works out that they must do this week. The red team is pushing themselves insanely hard, they will make sure nobody can compare to their work this week. Jessie is pushing his blue team, the moral on their team is big. The red team is pushing themselves, Scott is making his team push themselves and won’t accept a no. Bob is pushing both Gina and Matt very hard, the two are also helping each other making sure they both make some big progress; Bob has very little time with them but loves how they are athletes and keep pushing themselves to beat the other.
Jen is back with the white team and is pushing them insanely hard, she is worried about not having been there; Scott has become the leader of his team and is stepping up to make sure that his team does not fall behind this week. Jessie is pushing his team as well, he wants to make sure that this week they push themselves far more harder to make sure they stay here this week.
Bob brings up Gina and Matt to see who won this week, Gina is first and she has lost only 3 pounds again; she is so shocked. Though sadly Matt only lost 2 pounds and has to go home tonight, he is beyond shocked that he lost so little; though he will go home and work even harder.
First up is the red team, Rob goes up and has lost 9 pounds; he is so happy he lost a good amount on his own. Jordan is up next and he lost 7 pounds. Scott is up next and he lost 7 pounds and was very upset to let Dovette down when he let go in the challenge first. Last up for the red team is Blake, she lost 5 pounds and is so happy.
Next up is the blue team, Lori is up first and lost 5 pounds this week. Next up is Jackie and she feels confident about tonight, she lost 2 pounds this week. Damien has lost only 5 pounds, Jessie’s team is pretty surprised at this and knows he’s going to have to push them much harder now. Next up is the white team JJ is up next, and lost 7 pounds. Toma is up next and only lost 4 pounds. Woody goes up next and he also lost 4 pounds, it’s not looking good. Rondalee is up next and she lost 2 pounds only. Sonya is up last and she must lose 4 pounds to make sure her team is safe this week; she lost 6 pounds and it is the blue team losing a member this week. Jackie will be going home tonight for the blue team, she is really happy to have gotten her motivation to lose weight; she is ready to work harder than ever.
Jackie ends up at comeback canyon and she can’t even believe it, we now see Matt and he has lost 114 pounds; he was never happy about his weight gain. Matt went ahead and proposed to his girlfriend at the waterfall she always wanted to see but he couldn’t because of his weight before, he is so happy.
THE END!
