Live. Tonight @ 9pm E/ 8pm C on NBC.
I am very excited about the show tonight. I’m not sure if I ever mentioned it on here, but Julie Hadden, a top four finalist on the show, is a member of the church I attend here in Jacksonville. I didn’t know her personally, (right when I moved here to Jax she left to start filming the show) but I have seen her a few times since and she looks great!
However, tonight is when it all goes down.
For those that aren’t up with the show. Let me give you the overview: Thousands of people auditioned for the show, 18 contestants made it. The 18 contestants were split up into three groups: red, blue and black teams. Each team was given a professional trainer to help with the workouts (which is pretty much what 95% of their day consists of). On the show, all teams participate in a “challenge” each week and usually the winner is given some kind of fantastic reward for their accomplishment. The contestants participate in what is titled their, “Last Chance Workout,” before they head to the “scale”.
Now…dun, dun, dun…once they get to the scale, the game begins. In the beginning, when they were split into three teams of six, each contestant’s weight loss (calculated as % of weight loss) was added toward their team color. The team with the lowest percentage of weight loss, would be up for elimination. This is when the team voted off who they felt was the “weakest link”, yet some teams tried the strategy of voting off the “biggest threat”…and well, suffered the consequence. However, once the team reached its final 10, they no longer weighed in as teams, but as individuals. The three people who had the lowest number of percentage weight loss, went home. This was the process…up until the final four!
The final four were given a three-month break to go home and attempt to lose as much weight as possible! Likewise, all the previous contestants that were voted off have been continuing their workout at home as well.
Tonight we will see every contestant’s before and after weigh-ins, as well as seeing the final four weigh in to see who becomes…THE BIGGEST LOSER!
