The Biggest Loser Season 7 – February 3, 2009

While it might seem like I am cheering I am actually sad, not that Joelle was kicked off, but rather because Joelle was so selfish from the beginning, and did not give Carla the opportunity to be on the ranch.

How the week got started…Jillian was upset to see the Orange Team (Dan & Dave) gone, but she knows how Bob’s team sticks together…another season of Jillian’s team fighting the larger numbers in the elimination room.

Getting down to business…the at-home players weigh in.  The reality is that you can not lose at much weight at home as on the ranch…but you can lose weight, and EXCUSES ARE NOT THE ANSWER…THEY ARE THE REASON YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT.  Carla and Sione showed that it can be done…Carla lost 20lbs at home, and Sione lost 25lbs at home…I was impressed.

Another challenge with choices ($5,000 or a 2lbs advantage)…guess who sees $$$ (Joelle)…but this challenge was not about money, not even about winning, it was about working as a team…Mandi & Aubrey showed everyone how it was done.

While all the at-home players were adjusting to being back at the ranch, for some reason I guess Joelle though this was her week to relax…Bob couldn’t help but point out that what you put in at the gym is what you get on the scale…if you give zero you get zero…enough said.  Bob focused on strengthening the others on his team…and gave Shanon a workout…with Sione on her back…Helen was impressed at how strong Shanon really was.

Jillian’s team knew they had to work extra hard, and it paid off at the weigh in.  No one from Jillian’s team fell below the yellow line this week, which means…Bob’s teamsters – Mike & Ron, and Carla & Joelle were below the yellow line.  I guess they just had to do it…Carla & Joelle got eliminated.  Everyone wishes their best to Carla with lots of love and hugs, while Joelle stands alone, and walks out of the gym without a single goodbye.

I think Shanon said it best, “when Joelle opens her mouth, it’s like she is on another planet.”  I really think that Joelle is oblivious to her actions (at times) but I think she spitefully brought Carla back and then did nothing…just to say I did was I was going to do…I brought you back.

Where are they now recap…Carla hoping to restore their friendship, and Joelle says, NO, we are not friends…I was shocked

Joelle is selfish, and Carla was cheated out.  Joelle lost 57lbs and Carla lost 87 lbs.
