The Biggest Loser: Temptation Island

Jeez -- I could not be on this show. First of all, I can't stand Jillian. I am sure she's a great trainer and gets the results, but her bad-ass attitude is really annoying. Also, I couldn't stand America seeing me in a sports bra and a Speedo. No one needs to see that.

Even worse, Jillian has bred a bunch of little Jillians with the Black Team. Can they let up on the "we didn't get picked" thing already? Did a report come out that whining can help you lose weight?

And speaking of whining: Is this now a 2-hour show now or what? This is the third week in a row where we've had a 2-hour episode. Now I understand that there are three teams this year, and because of that, the weigh-in takes forever. However, was the whole montage in the beginning really necessary? Also, you guys need to start commenting or I have to give up this blog.

Since you've already spent a lot of time on this week's episode, let's get to the recap...

The Red Team is getting smaller, and not just because they are losing weight. They've gone to elimination for two weeks in a row -- and the show has only been on for two weeks. Amy must be nervous...

The Temptation
Right off the bat, we had this week's challenge. There was a room with tons of food. Each contestant had to spend four minutes in the room. The person that consumes the most calories gets a 3-pound pass. Do the producers want them to lose weight or what?

Apparently, Jez, Neil, Patty missed the season where Suzy scarfed down all of those milkshake shots -- when no one else did. Patty was the piggy of the group; Neil was supposed to take one for the team, but Patty thought he passed on the offer. Neil was not happy, and neither was the rest of the team.

All Pain, No Gain
It was only a matter of time before Jerry got seriously injured, right? Third week was apparently a charm...

Bob had the Blue Team running around with other teammates piggyback-style. Jerry leaned forward and went boom. He didn't die, but he wasn't able to compete in the challenge.

The Yellow Team
Tonight's challenge had all three teams racing each other on a track. In "Biggest Loser" fashion, they threw in another twist -- the Yellow Team. This season has so many colors, I think I am going have a seizure.

The Yellow Team, however, were three kids: Cooper, Jack, and Kayla.

Kayla easily smoked her competition, while Phil almost blew out a quad beating 3rd grader Jack. Next up was Cooper, who looked a bit like Tanner from the original "Bad News Bears."

Hollie (Black Team) must have been zoning out during the other races, since she thought that "size" and "age" would work in her favor. Also, why the Red Team chose Amy over cowboy David is beyond me. Cooper ran like it was the last bell before summer vacation, making the Red Team winners of tonight'schallenge.

Bill, however, blew out his knee. This is not a good week for knees. It was a good week for weigh-ins -- for some anyway. Here are the results...

The Red Team finally won a weigh-in. Whew -- it was starting to get little sad there. Speaking of sad, the Blue Team had to kick someone to the curb. Patty was the biggest loser of the week, and she's lucky. After that whole temptation fiasco, she might have been sent packing.

Up until this point, the Blue Team seemed very lovey-dovey. It's funny how an elimination changes all of that. It's nice that when the chips are down, there's a mutiny and everyone kicked off captain Jerry. They all suck. Jerry hand-picked all of them, performed really well, and because he's the old guy, they tossed him out on his wrinkly butt. It's called karma, bitches... get some. See you next week. -- Rachel Cericola

I really liked Jerry. I think the blue team made a mistake by eliminating him. He chose them and then they get rid of them. What were they thinking? This is so frustrating that I am not sure I want to keep watching the show.
