Last night, The Biggest Loser brought the drama. Watching the show last night, I was nearly as tense as I was last Tuesday during the national elections. Now that the show is down to the final seven, it is heating up. The two-hour format didn't seem to drag as in episodes past because the tension and taunting were high. The junior high antics of the blue team began early in the show as Vicky and Heba could not control their delight at Phillip being voted off the black team. Although Michelle, Coleen, and Renee, of the black team, were not surprised by Vicky and Heba's antics, they were still hurt by the blatant rudeness.


After the vote, Ali came to the ranch to tell the contestants that team play was over and that the game was now every player for him or herself. This announcement was followed by an even bigger twist. All the players returned (but Coleen's father — he had to work) for one last chance to return to the ranch. Most of the contestants are looking great and have lost a considerable amount of weight. We were treated to some of Vicky's very public taunting of Phillip. The prize of the physical challenge, open only to returning players, was not only to return to the game, but also to have immunity at the weigh in. The returning player to step 1,000 onto a classic aerobic step first would win.

To see who won the challenge and who lost at the weigh in, just read more.

Heba's husband Ed beat Stephanie (of the first team to go home) by the skin of his teeth to return to campus and increase the power of the blue team; Vicky's plan to keep blue strong, even though the game is now singles, seemed to be coming to fruition.

Both teams worked out all week and worked out hard. The ladies all pulled in decent numbers, with Vicky being the biggest loser of the week. Love her or hate her, she is a consistent weight-loss machine. Too bad the same cannot be said for her husband, Brady lost considerably less than everyone else on campus and he was pitted against Michelle for elimination voting. In a dramatic first on the show, the voting followed immediately after the weigh in so there was no time for scheming (read Vicky's scheming). The tension mounted as former team members voted to protect their own. The final former blue-team vote was Amy's, and in a moment of clarity, she voted for Brady, bringing the votes three to three. In a tie, the contestant with the smallest percentage of weight loss is eliminated. Brady took the loss graciously, but the in the previews for next week it looks like Vicky goes on some kind of rampage against Amy. Looks like the only game play Vicky can handle is her own.

To see how Brady is doing these days, check out this video:


I was certainly excited to see Amy venture out from under the blue team's (read Vicky's) shadow. I am hoping she goes all the way to finals and as the game heats up the show is definitely getting more exciting. I am curious what you all thought of the show?
