The Biggest Loser 2 - Episode 9 Summary

'Winners, Losers, and Gainers' By MTW1961

To let off some steam, Jillian and Bob have put up a dunk tank. This will be today’s temptation challenge. The losers can take a shot at their favorite trainers by eating a 10 calorie M&M candy. They get one ball for each candy they eat.. Matt calculates that he can eat up to 13 M&M’s and not blow his diet. It looks like they’re peanut M&M’s. He dunks her on the third attempt. Ahh, the dunk tank! I just don’t understand the lure of dropping people into three feet of water. Maybe if it was off the side of a boat, or if it was sewer water – that would be something!

Next, Bob takes the plunge and then Andrea gives it a try. She’s really getting into it, which pleases Suzy. That’s right Andrea, just three more balls. A few more M&M’s can’t hurt! Actually, she looks like she must have been a softball player at one time because she’s got quite an arm!

Later, in the house, Suzy walks upstairs with a pair of scissors in her hand, looking for Matt. Has she finally gone over the edge? No, apparently, Matt felt bad that he didn’t get his hair cut on makeover day, so Suzy has agreed to take on the task, as she’s been a hairdresser for 10 years. Snip, snip and a few minutes later, Matt’s mop top is gone. He looks younger and great! Andrea says he looks hot, then says he looks cute. C’mon Andrea, he can either be hot or cute, but not both. The women are surprised how good looking he is with good hair.

Bob wants to take the girls jogging, but Shannon is having a hard time because her foot is injured. This leads to some intense bickering back and forth, with Shannon saying Bob isn’t listening making the ultimate insult of implying Bob isn’t doing his job as a trainer. Bob is offended, saying that he’s here 7 days a week for her. I’m glad he didn’t say he was giving 200 percent!

The players are all practicing for the challenge, which will involve jumping and balance. It sounds like jump roping. My first thought is that Matt, a former wrestler, should have the advantage here as jumping rope is a common training exercise for wrestlers. The winner of this challenge will get immunity form elimination and win the amazing exercise bike that was offered for a temptation several weeks ago.

The contestants must battle the ultimate jump rope - automated bars that swing automatically and go faster and faster as the game progresses. Suzy and Andrea and Jeff don’t last long. Shannon makes longer than those three, despite her hurt foot, but eventually it comes down to Seth and Matt. The two battle for a long time before Seth finally succumbs to the giant bar, and as expected, Matt wins!

Everyone is impressed with Shannon’s effort and she says she did it because she didn’t want to look like a quitter. Jillian is worried that Jeff may falter and have a plateau week after having lost double-digits for five weeks in a row. She works him out hard - the weigh-in is coming up and she’s fighting for him to stay.

Matt on the other hand is trying to keep the weight on. He’s cut back on the workouts and increased the calories. He’s confident he can lose it back next week – another wrestling phenomenon, although they usually LOSE the weight first, the put it back ON. Everyone else is working out like crazy because no one wants to go home.
