Biggest Loser 11: Mother & Leader Marci Goes Home

In one of the most tear-jerker episodes of this season, classy woman and mom to all, Marci was voted off Biggest Loser 11 tonight. With tears flowing from nearly every competitor. I don't think there has ever been a classier lady on this or any other reality TV show. I'm sure she'll have great success on her own, but we'll still miss her.

The red and black teams were finally merged into one blue team this week on BL11. Trainers Bob and Jillian finally got a room full of men to push around the gym. Bob was particularly excited about working out Rulon, the former Olympian. I think he just wanted to see what the big man had in him. Surprisingly, even after a terribly tough workout, Rulon did not pull a big number this week.

Hell’s Kitchen Season 8: Russel Vs. Nona in the Finals

Chef Ramsay opened this episode of Hell’s Kitchen by saying two would go home, after last week’s reprieve from firing. After each took a turn at the pass during dinner service it was quite clear that one of the chefs was out of his league. Chef Ramsay called out Trev first and let him go without asking him questions. Jillian was the second contestant put out of the running for Hell’s Kitchen season 8, though Chef made it clear she was not fired. He let Jillian keep her chef’s jacket and gave her a hug and peck on the cheek. Can I lose Hell’s Kitchen next? Please?

Here’s how the night went:

Hell's Kitchen Season 8: Gail Wins & Loses

After sassy Sabrina tried to mow Gail down last week she managed to bounce back in the final five of Hell's Kitchen season 8. The bounce only lasted for the reward challenge though. By the end of dinner service Gail was ready to vote herself out. Chef Ramsay did it for her. Poor Gail, from hero to zero in one episode of Hell's Kitchen.

Here's a quick recap, or scroll down to watch the Hell's Kitchen videos.

Russell, Nona, Jillian, Trev and Gail had to make a signature dish to serve at a "power lunch". They went to get ingredients, and then were told the lunch would be prepared and served from food trucks in a parking lot. It would not affect most of the chefs, but one would have trouble with the ambiance.
