Cathy is eliminated on the Biggest Loser
Probably one of the biggest challenges to weight loss is when you leave the comfort of your support group, gym or even your personal trainer. This evening on The Biggest Loser that is exactly what happened. The remaining contestants were given the opportunity to return home to their families and their loved ones. There can’t be a greater feeling of satisfaction than returning home and showing off your new body less some pounds. The feeling of satisfaction and rejoice was quickly replaced with the greatest challenge that they can have; temptation. Tins of delicious sugar cookies were sent to the homes of the contestants. While it might not seem that much, they found out each of them was going to compete for $10,000 by running a ½ marathon (13.1) miles. The twist was that for each sugar cookie that they ate, they would be able to add 5 minutes to the time of another contestant.
After the competition, everyone returned back to the campus to find out that Tara ran the fastest marathon time of 02:24:19, but only was to be disappointed because Helen ate one of those cookies for Tara which added 5 minutes to her time making Siones’ time of 02:25:57 the best time and making him $10,000 richer. Out of the 10 contestants, Ron was the only one who was not able to complete the marathon.
