The Biggest Loser: 10K Or A Pound?

I was thrilled at the turn of events this week in the Biggest Loser house! It was about time one of those cocky blue boys went home. I'll get into that more later but let's talk about some cake first.

At the beginning of the show, Alison asked everybody to report back to the elimination room. She didn't tell them why and all of them were really nervous about it. She wound up giving them a pop quiz and the person that won would receive whatever was on the giant silver tray. Dan was the winner of the calorie quiz and won himself a giant slice of chocolate cake. He was told he could eat it but Alison told him she thought it best if he saved it and brought it to the competition later on.

He saved it all right. He took that platter with the cake on it everywhere he went -- except for one time. Dan went to go do some cardio with the brothers and asked everybody remaining to leave his cake alone. Yeah, right! Roger went out to inform him that the cake was missing and when Dan went back inside the house to try and find it, he instead found a ransom note on his bed with Kelly's name at the bottom of it. He then creepily went into Kelly's room and, while she was showering, asked her if she knew where his cake was and then asked her about ransom note. Of course, it was all a setup. A really hilarious setup at that. Roger was the one behind the ransom note and everybody got a big laugh at Dan's expense.

Dan, his slice of cake, and the other contestants arrived at the challenge which was being held inside of a basketball arena. It was complete with their names and faces being flashed on the screens and snack food vendors. More specifically, there were tables located in the stands around the stadium that had french fries, popcorn, pizza, ice cream, pretzels, hot dogs, peanuts, and cotton candy on them. Each one of them would have 20 minutes to run and grab food from up in the stands and place it on their fellow contestant's tables located in the center of the arena floor. The person who had the least amount of calories on their table at the end would win $10,000. But first, Dan was given the opportunity to place his slice of cake worth 600 calories on somebody's table to pad their calorie count. He chose Kelly's table unsurprisingly.

The boys decided to target the girls, of course, and when it was all said and done Jay wound up being the money winner. Alison presented him with a proposition though. He could either take the money or he could buy a one-pound pass at the next weigh-in with it. I was hoping he'd take the cash but he did choose at the weigh-in to buy the one-pound pass.

The pass made a little bit of a difference in his percentage lost but not much. He was stuck in the middle of the pack this week. The weigh-in belonged to the ladies for once! Kelly lost 7 pounds and 3.52% of her weight and Ali lost 6 pounds and 3.87% of hers. One of the blue boys would be leaving this week and it was between Mark and Dan. Mark had only lost 2.16% and Dan had lost a whopping 0.50%. Gosh, this was great!

At the elimination ceremony, Dan began crying before the first vote was even read. He knew what was in the cards for him. Of course, then all the blue boys began crying together. I swear, they should make them wear pink shirts from now on and put little bows in their hair. Oh, and give them mascara that isn't waterproof so it runs down their faces when they cry. Boo hoo. Yeah, I'm a little excited that Mr. I'm The Smartest Man Of The Show is gone.

He's also gone from home. Soon after arriving back home, he hopped a plane to Los Angeles to begin his music career. Good luck with that.

Next week, the contestants will be going to Australia but it won't be for a vacation. And with only two shows left before the live finale, who do you think will make it to the final four? It's safe to say I hope the brothers are eliminated by then.
