Biggest Loser 50 States - E3
October 05, 2006 by Renee @ 11:05 AMCategory: Live Blogging, Pop Culture, The Biggest Loser
The stars are aligned, my DSL is up, the pics are up on time and thankyoulord it's only an hour show recap. Seriously NBC, save 2 hour shows for the intro and the extro. Anything more is overkill.
Let's get to the show:
They recap last weeks day @ the beach. Combined, both teams have lost 356lbs lost…or they lost an entire Ken...heh
They show 14 @ the ranch, 36 online…hey…can they count me as one of the online contestants? Heck, why not count all us weight loss bloggers as online contestants?
Show starts, Trainer Bob is jetting up the steps. He sees Texas Tiffany is gone, that Bob is so observant. Tonight his mul-hawk looks a bit better, not as scruffy.
Alabama Melinda feels she must step it up, ie lose more weight or her ass is outta there.
Dammit, perky Trainer Kim is on the premises. Red Team is going play a game...rut-oh.
She's talking to them about buffets, while Bob takes his gang (wouldn't that make Blue Team the Crips and Kim's the Bloods?) outside.
Both teams are going on a cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *yawn* 
Red team slides down the hill in joy. They look united.
Bob croons the theme song to the love boat. Shut your mul-hawk Bob.
He wants to show them going on a vacay doesn't = a vacay from exercise and diet. Is he talkin' to me? *hmph*
Last time on a cruise, Indiana Pam (why does that sound like cooking spray…oh…right) gained 7lbs. Not w/Trainer Kim in the hizouse.
StTWA, in black *shank*, is here.
Do they really need her hosting them on the cruise? Methinks she's a stowaway.
Bob puts his team thru a grueling circuit. Gawd his hair is gruesome looking.
Trainer Kim put her peeps in the pool.
Bob has his team sweating and screeching. Did he have to work the name of the cruise ship into the end? Shameless plug whore he is.
Now they walk around the buffet as Bob points out the good eats. He advises them to walk the entire buffet first, then make decisions on what to eat. Most people start piling on food @ the front of the buffet. Stop stalking me Bob.
Poor Indiana Pam. She can't find anything to eat. Get a salad girlfriend!
Bob again, now his hair looks good. WTF? Blue team, after Bob's healthy selections, walks out of the buffet looking bummed.
Time for an Online Loser update. Tonight we have Rhode Island Erin. She came to the ranch 242lbs is now 189lbs. Whoa momma! Her hubby said he was no longer attracted to her. That was her turning point. She sobs. Now it's week 7 she's his snuggle bunny again...awwwwww. She runs...the boobs bounce.
Commercial break
@ 9:12 back
Challenge time, silver platters ahead. They each must deliver a platter to a specific location on the ship, as if they are staff, and get the bill signed. First team done, wins. The reward is time w/their family, who they haven't seen in a month.
I hate Heather. That is all.
StTWA, back in black natch, a dress this time, plus she's covered up those boobies, good girl. Wait. Is that a dress, a blousy jumpsuit or an adult sized one-zee?
California Brian & Alaska Kai sit out. Heather's hubby makes me think, no matter how much someone irks me, someone else loves them to death.
Tennessee Bob's wife is on the screen. Yea, I like her.
The teams are off, hee @ Missouri Marty. He shoves his platter in front of his wife, like, hurry up and sign it, I gotta go!
Florida Wylie's friend Lisa, is such a chatter box. He's like hurry up & sign the bill, she wants to chat about the live show going on in the background.
Red team is ahead.
Damn that Marty, he blabs the secret to everyone.
Poor Tennessee Bob is lost. @ the spouses rushing their loved ones along.
Bob is still lost, Red team is still ahead.
Bob finally finds his wife. Here comes the tears...*swoon* Wifey tells him to go go go...heh
Heather is now lost. YES!
Get her off my screen w/screaming "I need a signature!!" No, you need a towel down your gullet. She's starting to freak out. Why does she remind me of Roseanne Barr? And that's not a compliment Heather.
Have mercy, commercial break time.
9:22 back.
Seriously, I hate Heather. Sorry Heather's husband, but I do.
Blue is now ahead.
Heather is screaming @ cruise people to get out of the way and whining to her team that her clue was hidden. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sweet Washington Ken, finds his fam w/no prob Heather. Take a hint.
@ Pam almost missing her clue. She shoulda screamed like a Banshee Heather 
Pam cries w/hubby...awww...this show makes me want to be married.
Brian spends extra time w/his wife. Come on Brian, get that siggy and bounce my friend or else Red team will win again.
Yep, they did.
Oh wow, there really are others on the cruise. I thought it was just Biggest Loser people, but nope, real live people are chilling on the lido deck.
Bobby is sorry for getting lost. I know blue team is upset and all, but, they did get some hugs, kisses and to spend some time w/their fam. Unlike Survivor where they dangle your loved on in front you and if you lose, not even a hug goodbye.
They show a pic of Brian 10 years ago. Boy he was a hottie! He says due to fertility problems his wife went thru, he went from 190lbs to 300lbs in a few years.
Chin up blue team...Tennessee Bobby and his dimples notes his wife is wearing a new dress...that is a good man!
Red team is w/their fams. Blue team is bummed on the deck. Here comes Bob, let's see how the mul-hawk looks. Meh...not bad/not good.
They head to the track to work off some steam. Poor peeps, they can't catch a break. When they win they work out, they lose they work out. Heh
Trainer Kim gets doused w/the bubbly, now she feels like a team captain. They all raise glasses for a toast.
Commercial breaky timey
9:32 back from commercial and they are back @ the ranch.
Time for the Last Chance Workout™. Marty says they, the Blue team, are the ones that need to step it up. Lo and behold, while he's reclined on a machine, Bob steps it up alright...RIGHT ONTO HIM! 
Melinda is worried, being the smallest on the team, she'll get the boot.
Time to weigh in, man I love 1 hour shows.
StTWA looks very nice tonight, sporting a pink top. I didn't want to say it, but she looked rather puffy and squinty on the cruise. Shucks, she has on black pants......oh well…can't have it all.
Blue team goes first. California Brian is up. W/an injury, he lost 7lbs.
Maryland Amy, hey I didn't see much of her tonight.
236 -> 227
9lb loss
Tennessee Bob
291 -> 282
9lbs loss
Missouri Marty, lost 16lbs last week
329 -> 322
7lbs loss
I've got to say it again, StTWA looks really good 2nite.
NY Eric is next
375 -> 364
11lbs!
43lbs loss so far.
C'mon Melinda...She's upset that last week she "only lost 4lbs". Thinks she had a good week. We shall see...
221 -> 211
10lbs lost!!!
Done whilst on a cruise folks, whilst on a cruise. She was the biggest loser this week and has lost 25lbs to date
Blue team totals 53lbs lost/3.07% of their body weight.
Red Team must lose 51lbs to win.
Indian Pam up
231 -> 226

Looks like Pam got tan. heh, I'm a poet and I know it.
Wylie, wait, he lost 18lbs last week?
175 -> 269
6lbs
So far Red Team has lost 11lbs.
9:40pm, I smell a commercial break in the oven.
Ugh, Utah Heather
206 -> 201
5lbs lost
She gives a bitch face. Feels she could've done more.
Team loss: 16lbs.
Alaska Kai, lost 12lbs last week. Another huge loser, no wonder Red team won.
238 -> 233
5lbs lost
Team loss: 21lbs
Nelson and Ken needs to lose 29+lbs
Nelson lost 15lbs last week, StTWA needs to stop rubbing salt in the wound, we get it, they were the biggest loser, last week.
He lost 5lbs too...what the? Looks like the bubbly they used to douse Trainer Kim, also made it's way down a few throats, ifyouknowhatImean.
Poor Ken, he gets the pressure to 25lbs to win According to StTWA, last week he lost 20, so anything is possible, *SLAP*
I was right, the commercial break is ready.
As they go out, they tease w/a shot of Ken looking happy & Blue Team looking bummed. Which in "reality" teevee world means, he didn't make it, blue team won.
9:45 back
320->317
3lbs lost
I knew it. Hey NBC, your creative editing dept is slacking.
Red team lost 29lbs/1.77% of their body weight.
Sometimes when you win (time w/your family), you lose (time lost working out). Looks like Red team spent more time w/fam then getting things done.
Back @ the ranch, the ladies talk about getting rid of Kylie. It's weird, Red team treats the voting off like Survivor. They talk about alliances. Team Blue treated it like who was strong enough to go it alone @ home.
Back in the voting room, and what in the holy hell is StTWA wearing now? A brown-corduroy-mock-neck-open-front-shirt-jacket? W/a turquoise scarf and pink tank top thrown in for good measure!?!!?
Yikes!
Heather votes first, and picks Wylie, who brings in the smack down talk. As Heather sobs @ how hard it was, he cuts her off and is like, "Don't be fake bitch (okay he didn't say bitch, I did) you want me gone and I know it."
Kai calls him a threat. A threat? What the? What game are they really playing?
Wylie gives them all a tsk tak face…
…as Pam also picks him. He says he based his choice on weight loss, so he picks Pam. Nelson, picks Pam...so much for all that earlier team unity. Ken picks, I'm guessing Pam, gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh they go to a commercial break.
This time, as they go to break, Wylie snarks, "Asta la vista." He forgot to add "Bay-bee".
While on break, I'm thinking Ken is being a hypocrite. In the voting room he defends his vote by saying it's obvious what the women's intentions are BUT back @ the ranch his room he said, the men come first.
I don't think Red Team has genuine "love" for each other. When they win they are fine & dandy, but the losses brings out their true characters. Compared to Blue Team who seemed geninuley hurt when one of their own loss, but still wanting to support that person despite not beign on the ranch w/them anymore.
9:55 back.
If there is a tie breaker, Blue Team comes in and decides who goes.
Ken picks…PAM!!!
Kai, calls him a bastard. Now I hate her too.
Blue team decides who gets the boot. @ this point I say get rid of the entire Red Team, Trainer Kim too.
Eric says it was easy. They picked the biggest threat, therefore they send home Nelson.
Who?!?!
Damn. Damn. Damn.
Nelson says he would've done the same thing.
This sucks like the stupid Survivor tie breaker of put your hand in a bag, pick a color of a rock you go home challenge. Team Blue should've broke the TIE, either Pam or Wylie, not picked a random person. That makes no sense.
Red Team now has 3 women who'll gang up on the guys and now the sparring peeps are left to live w/each other.
As Nelson leaves Ken calls him Big Poppa...*I love it when they call me big Pop-A*
He started @ 404lbs and leaves @ 365 lbs. He's learned he's not a failure and is proud of he's done. It's never too late to eat healthy and change your diet. It just hit me he's from Massachusetts yet he's got such a strong NY accent.
Back @ home, he's weighing for the first time since leaving the ranch. He's 352, lost about 10lbs. You can really see it in his face. I missed the text on his update, I was busy typing, but I caught that he's recommitted to working out twice a day.
Good Job Massachusetts Nelson.
Next week is team and trainer meltdown. Oh Joy. Looks like Red Team made Trainer Kim sob.
To date, both teams have lost 500lbs and next week we see the most dramatic weight in yet. Sez you NBC.
Time to get caught up w/the biggest losers online. May as well check in on my adopted home state, GA.
Angie from GA has lost 18lbs, averaging 1lb loss each week.

"No, you need a towel down your gullet."
I couldn't agree more! Check out my recap - I can't stand the Red Team girls... all three of them need to go. Grr.
I also agree that the Blue Team should've been a tiebreaker, not able to just pick. Funny to me that Pam had said earlier that they needed to get one of the guys to vote for Wylie because otherwise she just knew that the blue team would've chosen her. Someone thinks about herself a little too much, eh? I do however love the fact that Ken let the girls believe what they wanted to, and then voted for the bitch anyway... wahooey!
I too am glad they've dropped it back to an hour. Those first two weeks were hell!
Funny how this season so far, we're at least in agreement about who we hate. Remember last year? I hated Suzy!
Looking forward to comparing recaps with you, chica... I love the fact that you include photos. I just get too anxious to put it up there right when the show ends. I write through the show, do some quick edits, and I'm done. :P
