"Are you crazy?"
This week on the Biggest Loser, the players were all abuzz – about a red button.
The episode began with the requisite somber music and scenes, because of Stephanie’s elimination.
Victoria hadn’t much enjoyed her first elimination experience. “That’s not what I expected. It’s not fun. I can’t explain how I feel. Some realities don’t really hit you until you are here.” She was clearly upset.
Sam admitted he was happy to stay and compete. He was humbled to hear he inspires people.
Melissa shook her head in wonder. “This is week 12, and there’s still no gameplay. If you are working toward the goal of the finale, you should have eliminated Sam. It doesn’t matter if Sam is your friend. Are ya crazy?”
Sam told the group that they have all been “tight” up until now, “but, don’t be surprised if that could change as the weeks go by.”
The gang went into the gym, the next morning, and hostess Allison Sweeney was waiting for them. Next to her was a stand with a big red button.
Allison reminded them they’d all began their journeys three months ago, and had all realized nothing is ever easy. “But, that could change, this week,” she told them. “This week, someone could get immunity – at the touch of this button.”
Melissa jumped up and down like a kid at Christmas. Her eyes shone, like firecrackers. A competition! She was gonna be all over it.
Allison pressed the button - and it sounded like an air raid siren.
Daris was amused. “In Oklahoma, if we hear something like that, we grab a mattress and jump into the tub.”
Allison continued, and explained that they would all be granted access to the scale, during the week – “a Biggest Loser first!” The first person who thought they had lost two percent of their current weight had the right to push the button. They were each given little keycards to wear around their necks. The cards had the amount each person must lose; in order to lose 2% their weight. Once anyone thought they’d lost that much, they could push the button. If they were correct, they won immunity and the game ends. If they weren’t correct, they didn’t get another chance to play – but they incurred no penalty.
Ashley thought it was a good idea. She called it “a race to lose weight.”
Melissa caught the obvious advantage of doing this; it was the one thing that could guarantee her staying at the Ranch.
Allison wished them.....
