Biggest Loser Couples: Lynn and Jenni are Eliminated

This is a new twist to Biggest Loser – couples. I guess the success of the twins last season made the producers realize this could be a good thing. Each couple was their own team and thus received their own t-shirt color. Here are the competitors, their initial weigh-in weight, trainer and team color:

Bette-Sue (261) and Ali (234) – mother and daughter – Bob - pink
Mallory (217) and Curtis (381) – husband and wife – Jillian - brown
Jenn (254) and Maggie (239) – best friends – Jillian - purple
Neill (317) and Amanda (204) – newlyweds – Jillian - white
Paul (303) and Kelly (271) – divorced – Bob - yellow
Lynn (409) and Jenni (267) – father and daughter – Bob - green
Jackie (246) and Dan (310) – mother and son - Bob - orange
Mark (285) and Jay (293) – brothers – Jillian - black
Trent (436) and Roger (363) – former teammates – Jillian - grey
Brittany (221) and Bernie (283) – the oddball team – they were chosen online and had never met – Bob - blue

The teams had to race to the top of a hill and back down. The reward was being able to choose your trainer. Why everyone wanted Jillian, I will never know. Her five teams filled up quickly and the others had to go to Bob. I’d choose Bob every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Jillian just grates on my nerves. Anyhow, Ali had to push her mom up the hill then pull her back down. They were not happy to get Bob, but he worked their butts off.

Neill fell off the treadmill during a workout and Bernie couldn’t seem to work out without hurling. He even spent the night in the hospital because of it. Paul passed out while exercising, but taking everyone to the morgue and talking about how much fat was around his or her hearts seemed to get their attention.

The challenge was to drag a big balloon around a track. The winning team would get to subtract two pounds at the weigh-in. The losing team would have to add two pounds. Brittany and Bernie tried to overtake Mark and Jay at the end, but they held out and won. The youngest team, Jenn and Maggie, came in last.

We saw Jenni grow frustrated with her dad, the oldest competitor at age 60. He had blisters on his feet and didn’t want to work out, but after she yelled at him for it, he went the next morning and worked out. Brittany was worried about Bernie because he was doing a light work out, due to the hospital stay.

At the weight in, there were some big numbers posted. Trent lost 29 pounds, Roger lost 20 pounds, Dan lost 25 pounds, and Curtis lost 22 pounds. The only person who didn’t lose in double digits was Jenni. After harassing her father about working out, he lost 19 pounds and she lost 7, putting them in last place. The other team below the line was Jenn and Maggie, the purple team that had to subtract two pounds for losing the challenge.

Lynn made it no secret that he didn’t really want to be there, but was just doing it for Jenni. The other teams picked up on that and only one hour after weigh-in, they voted the green team off. What is funny is Jenni continued to complain about her dad and he finally pointed out to her that he lost 19 pounds and she lost the least amount of weight of anyone on the show. When they went home, Lynn lost 30 more pounds while Jenni lost 20.
