The Biggest Loser Couples Recap - - Episode 13

From Angela Williams, for About.com

Mar 26 2008
Kelly and Ali are the only two ladies left in the competition. Jillian finds out that Brittany is gone, and she cries. Then she gets over it, and makes them work out. Jillian is determined to get one of the ladies into the final four.

Bob arrives to find Ocean’s Four still intact. Mark says that their alliance is holding strong. Bob says that he isn’t interested in alliances, he’s interested in numbers. He tells Jay that whatever his routine is, it isn’t working. He tells him that cutting out all carbs to win the weigh-ins will not work because he is exercising too much. Bob says that cutting out carbs only works with folks that don’t move around. Don’t try that at home and then sue The Biggest Loser if you don’t lose weight. That was part of trainer/client confidentiality, and we just happened to overhear it. Jay agrees to alter his diet according to Bob’s direction.

A NEW TWIST?

Alison arrives unexpectedly and asks them to assemble in the elimination room in five minutes. Of course, being dramatic, Alison asks them if they expected to be called back to the elimination room so soon (uh….NO), or if they can figure out what it under the silver tray (…uh…NO). She then tells them that they will be playing a little game to win the surprise under the tray. She gives them a pop quiz on the things they should have paid attention to since being at the ranch. We learn that you have to burn 3500 calories to lose one pound. Darn. After a few more questions, which were easy to answer for us at home but not so much for them, Dan wins the prize. It just happens to be a piece of chocolate cake with 600 calories. Alison tells him that he has the choice to eat the cake, or take it, fully intact, to the next challenge. Of course he says he will take it to the challenge. At this point, who doesn’t know he’s going to be asked to give it to someone else? Duh.

DAN AND HIS CAKE ON THE MOVE

Dan takes the silver tray everywhere with him. After three months at the ranch, the other players seriously want to eat the cake, or at least dip a finger in the frosting. No harm intended, but can anyone keep his or her head in the game for a few more weeks without acting as if giving up chocolate is like the worst thing ever? Bob works his boys out hard. We even get to hear him yell at Jay to “drop his ass down!” with the weights. Way to be like Jillian, Bob! Mark says that Bob is getting under his skin, but I just see Mark’s controlling side getting the best of him. Now that he is almost his desired weight, he’s getting a little cocky. In my opinion, anyhow, cause he sure wasn’t complaining three months ago…
