On this week's Biggest Loser, the contestants got to go home for the week. I was excited as this usually makes for an entertaining weigh-in at the end of the week... Usually they just can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar while they are home!
And speaking of cookie jars, this time they had an at-home challenge. The contestants had to run a 1/2 marathon and the winner would get $10k. I know they have been working out really hard, but they haven't been specifically training for a 1/2 marathon, so this should be tough. As a twist, each contestant also got a tin full of cookies. For each cookie they ate they could add 5 minutes onto someone's time. 5 minutes could be pretty huge! Surprisingly, only Helen & Aubrey succombed to the cookies. Helen ate a cookie against Tara and Aubrey ate against Helen (I'm not sure what she was thinking here... Maybe that a lot of other people would go against Tara & Sione??? Aubrey is not really a thinker.)
All of the players did really well... Except Ron, of course. Sione & Tara, as expected, did awesome. Until the end when Sione had a muscle tighten up on him with just 200 yards left. Ouch. He finally got himself across the finish line.
As usual at home, everyone around these people are eating fatty foods and taking them out to eat. All the contestants really did pretty well this season though... Sadly. Come on people. Following your diet doesn't make for good tv!
Aubrey took the opportunity to talk to her ENORMOUS father about dieting and losing some of his 500lb girth. He kept saying that he had already started a diet. Then she brought up his breakfast that was, like, every fattening breakfast food scrambled together in a vat of grease. Sounds delicious.
The contestants all said their farewells and headed back to the ranch. They announced the results of the 1/2 marathon. Sione would have had the fastest time by a lot if it weren't for his pulled muscle. So, Tara ended up with the best time... BUT, Helen ate a cookie against her so Sione ended up winning. Tara was not pleased with Helen! All of their times were pretty impressive though. Oh, except for Ron who only finished like 2 miles and said "I had no intentions of finishing the 1/2 marathon." WHY ARE YOU HERE?
On to the weigh-in. Nothing super shocking except that Ron somehow lost 10lbs. Um, I think this is even more evidence that he should go the F home. Kristen gained 1lb proving that she is NOT ready to go home at all. Surprise surprise, the blue team loses the weigh-in. And unfortunately, freakin' Ron has immunity.
Cathy stepped up and asked to be eliminated. Ron had immunity and she didn't want Kristen or Aubrey going home. This is what Ron should have done weeks ago. Stepped up and took one for the team and jumped on the grenade. So, Cathy went home. Adios Cathy.

I think I've decided that I want Mike to win. He just isn't a jackass like so many of the others.
Marlene thinks that Ron is the Obi-wan Kenobi of the Blue Team. Waving his hand and saying, "I am not the one you should be voting for."
Also, that douchebaggy Tongans are STILL working out with Bob. What an enabler he is being. Has it even remotely crossed their minds that Bob might be stabbing them in the back a bit.
Tara needs to relax. She is going to give herself a mental breakdown with all the pressure she is putting on herself.
