The Biggest Loser: They're Back

â€BLoser-water.jpg" I was happy that the show started an hour earlier tonight. However, I didnâ€™t realize until the show started that it was going to be two hours. Settle in kids; here comes the recap...

At the end of last week's episode, 6 of the 36 people that were sent home on the first day were back to join the game. Only two of them will be staying. The rest of the players are hoping that none will stay. Bobby wants to treat them respectfully and send them on their way. I think Kai would like to see them set on fire and sent on their way.

In other words, her hugs to welcome the new contestants were fake. Very fake. Some of the original contestants are using it as motivation. Some were just downright angry.

It was time to weigh-in the new contestants to see who would stay and who would go. Here are the numbers:

Name	Starting Weight	Current Weight	Total Loss	Total Percentage

Poppi (NJ)	232	189	-43	18.53%

Virginia (VT)	277	230	-47	16.97%

Adrian (ND)	227	174	-53	23.35%

Matthew (ME)	366	285	-81	22.13%

Jaron (AR)	323	248	-75	23.22%

Tim (DE)	268	216	-52	19.41%

Wow! Those guys pulled such impressive numbers. You could tell that the original contestants were pissed, and rightfully so. They were on this fancy ranch with Bob and Kim and all kinds of exercise equipment, and the people that worked on their own kicked their asses!

Adrian and Jaron are now a pair, and I hope they get along, because no one else seems to want to be their friends.

Bob gave the blue team a "life's not fair" speech. Kim had Adrian sit down with the red team and talk about how she lost the weight on her own. It appeared that not one red team member was listening -- or at least no one could look her in the eye.

Adrian seemed a little disappointed in the workout. The other members of the red team seemed to not appreciate that. Maybe she should have worked out with Bob. He kicked Jaron's ass. Jaron even went so far as to say that he thought the other members or the blue team were in better shape than he is.

After the workout, Jell-O got a shout-out, and the boys made Jell-O mousse. How girly!

Caroline appeared for the first challenge. Each team had to move a ton of one of the following: tires, huge water bottles, bricks, or weights.

But first: Each team had to calculate the calories in a steak, a loaded baked potato and a hot fudge sundae. The closest one got to choose who carries what. Wylie and Marty were the math whizzes.

They took the water bottles and gave Bobby and Heather the weights, Erik and Kai got the tires, and Jaron and Adrian got the bricks. They all looked suckey, if you ask me. Picking worked well for Wylie and Marty; they won the challenge.

All of the teams wanted to finish the challenge -- except for Adrian and Jaron, furthering the separation between the teams. Bob and Kim furthered the guilt trip.

Jaron and Bob had a sit-down to talk about his food journals. Apparently, Jaron has been starving himself a bit. Instead of accepting his suggestions, he offered to run his journal by Kim. Way to alienate Bob, buddy!

Jaron decided to start working out with Kim. Adrian wanted to continue what she's been doing at home. It's weird because after fighting for so long to get on the ranch, now they aren't too happy about the way things go. Has it become all about money?

Adrian had a heart-to-heart with Kai and decided that she can't do it alone, so she went to Kim for forgiveness -- and got a personalized last-chance workout.

Bob's last-chance workout looked pretty darn impressive, sort "Karate Kid" meets "Rocky." I am not sure about Kim's workout; I was too blinded by her stunning, glistening abs! Who had the best workout of the week? Did Erik's ploy last week work to his advantage this time? Here are the numbers...

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

Adrian (ND)	227	170	-4	-57

Jaron (AR)	323	238	-10	-85

Total: -14 pounds, 3.32%

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

Wylie (FL)	307	236	-6	-71

Marty (MO)	365	282	-4	-83

Total: -10 pounds, 1.89%

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

Kai (AL)	262	201	-7	-61

Erik (NY)	407	318	-20	-89

Total: -27 pounds, 4.95%

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

Heather (UT)	223	186	+4	-37

Bobby (CA)	321	252	-3	-69

Total: +1 pounds

Heather basically stabbed Bobby in the back. She admitted that she gained the weight to force him off. Gaining weight like that should automatically get you kicked off. It is so wrong. Not that Bobby seemed to care that much; he misses his family.

Another Bob pep talk convinced Bobby to try to get Heather's plan to blow up in her face. I was hoping for it as well. She has been my least favorite since the get-go, and this was the last straw. Gaining 4 pounds? Unacceptable.

Unfortunately, Heather's plan worked and Bobby was sent home. His family was so cute, but I was liking Bobby's facial hair. Bring it back, brother!

Next week, it's every man and woman for themselves. I'm guessing that it's going to get ugly!

Closing thought: What's up with Bobâ€™s hair? I am digging the Mohawk, but not the Mullet. Pick one style and go with it! -- Rachel Cericola
