The Biggest Loser: Gym Gone

â€BLoser-305.jpg" You don't have to go home, but you can't work out hereâ€¦ the show kicked off with the teams discovering that the gym was closed for the day. Could a life lesson be in our midst?

One thing we learned: Bobby knows how to break into a building. However, the trainers wanted to show the teams that crime doesn't always pay -- so they will need to figure out other ways to get their workouts.

Aside from the shock of their alternative workouts, the red team is starting to notice the changes in their bodies.

One person that doesn't see a difference: Erik. After all, he is a big guy, so 50 pounds might not be the drop in the bucket he needs to stay motivated. Bob gave him a pep talk. Bob is good at those. Then he kicked Erik's ass by hovering over him during a run.

After a quick trip to El Pollo Loco, Caroline appeared -- and it wasn't to chop fresh salsa. It was time for this week's challenge. But first -- each team got to see a message from their loved ones up on the jumbotron.

This week's challenge incorporated the lamest audience participation event ever: the wave. Each team had to complete 510 waves. Say what? Basically, the teams had to run to the top of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, sit side-by-side in the seats, perform the wave, and move one seat over, do the wave, and keep moving. Now if there are five people doing it on each team, shouldnâ€™t they get to move five seats each time? Guess not.

Just when it looked like the red team was going to sweep the blue team again, Ken gave up. He may as well pack his bags. Frankly, it was about time that the blue team won a challenge. It was getting downright embarrassing!

Next came a big plug for "The Biggest Loser Cookbook." The blue team made pizzas and the red made burgers. I made a tuna sandwich.

The last chance workout was crazy this week. The red team had some at-home-style gym equipment and went running. The blue team moved furniture -- a lot of it. Who did their best when the gym wasn't there for them? Here are this week's results:

Red Team

Name	Starting Weight	Current Weight	This Week's Loss	Total Loss

Ken (WA)	358	301	-6	-57

Wylie (FL)	307	255	-9	-52

Kai (AL)	262	223	-5	-39

Pam (IN)	247	218	-3	-29

Heather (UT)	223	193	-3	-30

Blue Team

Name	Starting Weight	Current Weight	This Week's Loss	Total Loss

Erik (NY)	407	351	-7	-56

Marty (MO)	365	308	-7	-57

Bobby (TN)	321	273	-4	-48

Brian (CA)	308	255	-6	-53

Amy (MD)	260	219	-4	-41

Total: -28 pounds, 1.95%

The red team won the weigh-in again; Brian won immunity -- again. Erik cried in front of the whole team, which may have kept people from voting for himâ€¦ then Marty tried to top his crying, but did it work?

It didn't budge Marty or Amy; they both voted for Erik. Erik, Bobby and Brian went the girl-had-the-least-to-lose route and voted for Amy. She was upset and downright pissed. She did give them the goodbye hugs though, so she couldn't have been that steamed.

The guys were so wrong. Big surprise. To date, Amy has lost 88 pounds and she looks hot! -- Rachel Cericola
