Episode Recap: The Biggest Loser Premiere
So did you guys watch the show???
The newest season of The Biggest Loser kicked off last night with the most dramatic season premiere to date! If you missed it, here’s a look at what we
learned:
“Age is just a number!”
Jerry — a 62 year old grandfather and the oldest contestant in Biggest
Loser history — proved himself a SERIOUS competitor by not only dusting
his younger competition in a mile-long foot race through the desert, but
losing an incredible 31 pounds to take the title of Biggest Loser at the
first weigh-in! The contestant that trainer Bob Harper kindly referred to as
“Grandpa” not only proved he could hack it in the competition, but that he’s the one the other contestants need to watch out for.
18 contestants were challenged to run a race through the desert to their
trainers, Bob and Kim, who had parachuted from a plane 14,000 feet above. Jerry finished first and became the captain of Bob’s Blue team, while Phil, an ex-football player, finished second and was named captain of Kim’s Red Team. The captains were asked to select the five teammates they wanted by their side, and send six people home. The job proved no easy task, as each contestant shared their emotional reasons for being in the competition. There was Lezlye, a victim of Hurricane Katrina, and twins Jim and Bill, who each desperately want the other to get healthy. Isabeau, just 21 years old, said she wanted more than anything to finally run the road race her fit family participates in every year.
The teams were chosen, and six people were left behind as the Red and Blue
teams boarded a bus to the Biggest Loser campus. Just when they thought they
were heading home defeated, guess who rides up on her big black motorcycle
to give them the good news? Yup, ME. These underdogs are my Black Team, and
we have two weeks of tough-as-nails training in the desert before we make
our surprise return to the Biggest Loser gym. They only WISH they’d gotten
to go home!
Back at the Biggest Loser Campus, the teams began training hard. In the
middle of a Red Team workout, Amber showed signs of weakness in the
competition by asking to be sent home. The Red Team did pull together to win
this week’s challenge, but in the end Jerry’s 31-pound weight loss led his
Blue Team to victory at the first weigh in, and Amber’s words came back to
haunt her as the Red Team voted to send her home. (In an update after the
show, we learned that Amber has lost 65 pounds and counting since leaving
the Biggest Loser Campus!)
