Biggest Loser 10: Frado & Patrick Go to the Finals, Ada & Elizabeth Ask for Votes

Episode #1011 Part 1 & 2It was marathon for the final four contestants on Biggest Loser 10. Each would finish a full marathon (26.2 miles) to donate $10,000 to charity. Time was only important to Ada; it was a matter of pride. The players went home for six weeks first. Then had a final weigh-in at the ranch to decide two of the final three. Frado and Patrick both did well at home and earned their way to the BL10 finals. Elizabeth, and surprisingly, Ada fell below the yellow line.

It's up to us now, to decide who will join Frado and Patrick in the finals for Biggest Loser 10. If you've been reading weekly, you know I'm on Team Ada. I think she most deserves her spot in the finals no matter who she were up against. Against Elizabeth, it is no contest in my mind.

Biggest Loser 10: Brendan and Mark Both Left Out of the Final Four

The Biggest Loser 10 cut it to the final four contestants tonight, and it was a bit of a surprise to me. On one hand I was very happy that my girl Ada made it to the final four. On the other, there is Elizabeth. The game finally caught up to alliance player Brendan tonight. Losing only five pounds in the weigh-in he fell below the red line and was immediately eliminated from the Biggest Loser 10. Another player would soon follow after a vote, here’s how the night played out.

Right off the bat the contestants met with Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin for a fitness challenge. Subway kicked in a prize of $10,000 to the winning player as a bonus. It was a brutal circuit drill with the player finishing last in each event dropping out of the competition. The exercises were: elliptic trainer, run, rowing machine, jump rope, and Jacob’s ladder.

Biggest Loser 10: Lisa Gets a Makeover and Goes Home

The final seven contestants on Biggest Loser 10 were treated to a full makeover this week. They also starred in a fashion show and got to meet with their loved ones. All looked really good for their “big reveal”, as we’d expect. The makeovers were followed by a brutal endurance challenge, where a selfless act had us in tears. After the weigh-in results it was obvious that this was finally the week Lisa would leave BL10.

The makeovers and fashion show went off without a hitch. It was nice to see the Biggest Loser 10 contestants all dressed up. I thought Mark, Patrick and Ada looked the best. Lisa and Elizabeth looked good too, but Jillian said it best. They know they are good looking, Ada needs to be told how pretty she is.

Nearly all new shows tonight and the big finale for Dancing With the Stars makes this a great night for watching network TV. Even Glee fans get to kick off the holiday week with a fresh new episode. Running Wilde is the only show missing from tonight’s lineup and something tells me it may be going, going, gone. The CW has also opted to run reruns this week.

Here’s what’s on network TV tonight:

ABC

Biggest Loser 10: Aaron & Jesse Go Home and Still Win

The Biggest Loser: The Workout - Boot CampWatching the Biggest Loser is like riding a roller coaster, tonight was no different. In another night of twists and game play, and plenty of yelling from Jillian and Bob, I was disappointed with the outcome of the vote. The update was awesome though, with Bob live at Aaron’s house joined by Jesse.

Here’s how it all went down.

Allison announced that the teams were officially over, and new duos would be formed. She also said two players would be leaving tonight. The two teams with the lowest percentage of weight loss would fall below the yellow line and the rest of the teams would vote one team off.

Biggest Loser 10 Week 7: Anna Leaves on Marine Week

Biggest Loser Family Cookbook: Budget-Friendly Meals Your Whole Family Will LoveShortened due to election coverage, the Biggest Loser moved at the pace of a Marine Corps boot camp workout. Good thing, since that was the theme for the week. Teams were taken by helicopter to Camp Pendleton to work out with Marines. Both teams failed at food intake though, and Anna paid the price when her team voted her off.

Teams were whisked away to Camp Pendleton right off the bat. The Marines gave the contestants no breaks. Well, okay, they were likely far nicer and more motivational than when trying to break in recruits. The ‘troops’ were up at the crack of dawn though, and moving nearly constantly.

The Biggest Loser: Rick Is the First Guy Eliminated on BL10

Week five of the Biggest Loser was a brutal one, both for game play and in the gym. We expect the gym to be brutal, but the game play is lousy. Jillian will likely be on the war path next week, after one player in particular appeared to throw the weigh in. Then, in a surprise elimination, Rick was voted off by his new teammates.

Here’s how the night went down.

First, one player that did not make the original cut was allowed to join the others at the Biggest Loser ranch. The person was chosen in the most fair way possible, by highest percentage of weight loss. Every weigh in should be this fair. Corey, Shanna, Montina, Sandy and Anna were the players vying for the single spot. Anna won with an at-home weight loss of 39lbs, or a whopping 11.82% of her original weight (330lbs down to 291lbs).
