The Biggest Loser Recap / Review February 9 2010, which is part of Season 9 began with a review of last weeks events. The playback was shorter than most weeks when Allison interrupted and said that the players were going to do something never before done on any season of The Biggest Loser. This episode the players were all heading to the Olympic Training Camp in Colorado. The next scene is when the show really started where the last show left off in the gym as if there has been no week in between. Allison told the players they would be training with the athletes that were training to represent America at the next Olympics.
Soon we saw the players walking under the Olympic rings wearing winter coats. The Biggest Loser players told America how happy they were to be there with the greatest athlete America had to offer. Allison then told the players that this week they would be playing as individuals this week and that there would be 2 players sent home this week. Allison then went on to tell them that this week two players would be sent home this week. The player with the lowest weight loss would be below the red line and left right away. Then there would be a yellow line and those two under that line would be in the elimination vote as in other weeks. The end result would be that two players would be going home this week instead of the normal one. The players were not happy with this as there were flashbacks to the first week of the season.’
Next Allison said to the players that Allison Jones would be training the players. She was an Olympic super hero that has been involved in the the paraOlympics and few would know, nor consider her to have a disability. Jillian told America how cool it was to be at the Olympic Camp and then the players went andlit the torch we all know represents the Olympics. Michael told America how much his life has changed in the last seven weeks. He could not believe he was there. The large crowd present cheered when Allison Jones lit the cauldron and everyone chanted U-S-A!
Next we saw the players checking out the rooms they would be sleeping in and all of them had autographed flags on their beds. O’Neal said the environment they were in was a once in a life time opportunity that would help their weight loss. Bob Harper and Jillian walked into the Olympic kitchen where they met Adam who explained to them how important food was to help athlete perform. The players learned that the food the different competitors ate was based on the individual and the sport they were training to compete. The players were all told that the food was there for a purpose and each food provided what was needed. Stephanie then went into a commercial for Extra gum with Bob Harper as he explained how the gum fought off a sweet tooth craving.
Koli was then telling America that he could not get John off his mind. Koli was upset that John needed to be there more than he did and he felt remorse that John was sent home and he was still there. Koli started to cry and said that he wanted to run and get away from it all. he said he never did anything like The Biggest Loser, which was all for himself. He kept crying as there was a commercial break.
The players then walked into a gym and met with some Olympic players and Jillian then told America that it was important to meet Olympians that had a goal and went to great lengths to achieve their desires. The Biggest Loser players then started to train with the Olympic players. The Biggest Loser players told America that it was insane to workout with the Olympians because of the insane good shape they were. Koli then was boxing with Bob Harper and a bag while Bob told America that if the player goes below the red line, they went home right away. One by one the players told America that the training was really hard and like nothing they ever did before. Speedy, the Olympian told The Biggest Loser players that they worked out really hard and was an inspiration. Bob then told America he saw sadness in the eyes of Koli. Bob then was seen speaking with Koli and said that he needed to work on himself and Bob went on to tell America that this was a turning point for Koli and this was when he needed to start thinking about himself.
Allison then spoke of the pop challenge and introduced Olympian J.R. Celski who was competing in 3 different Olympic events. J.R. then went on to show a severe scar he had andhow he bounced back to still be in the Olympics. Allison then showed them they had to make 500 trips on a slide board. The slide board was about two feet wide and seven feet long. The players had to push themselves sideways and do it back andforth 500 hundred times. There was going to be top three spots just like in the Olympics. Allison did not tell them what the prizes would be, other than an advantage at the challenge. Melissa was winning and going strong until Sam pulled up and almost caught up. Melissa fell down and then Sam passed her to take first prize. Melissa came in 2nd place to receive the silver prize. The bronze prize to represent 3rd place was won by Sunshine. When she did that her Dad went nuts cheering.
The players were then seen walking outside in the hills with mountains as a backdrop. The were in what was called the “Garden of the Gods”. Kelly UnderKofler was there to greet them she was in the para Olympics for the third time and spoke of her disability of only having one arm. She said that they had to overcome challenges also. The players were then shown how they were going to shoot a laser gun at a target. Each player had a target with a set of lights above their name. Then the winners of the slide challenge were told the prize they won was to be able to hit the target to light up the target. The winners of the pop challenge were told they could “hit” a target based on the prize won. Sunshine assigned her bronze hit to Sam and Melisssa assigned her Silver hits to Sam also. Sam then gave all three of hits hits back to Sunshine and Melissa. The challenge was then evened out because the players that had the advantage negated that advantage by only giving the points to each other. The prize they were all playing for was immunity. The contest began andthe players were running around andthen lined up to shoot the targets. They found it difficult to sight in with their heavy breathing from running. Melissa was knocked out and then Miggy and then Daris. Michael was then eliminated followed by Sunshine and Koli and then Sam. The players were getting tired as they had to run one lap in between each shot. The pace slowed down and Ashley looked like she might win because she did not have a bad knee but came in third place. The final lap had O’Neal and Darrel
with Darell telling America he felt great and had a strength he has not had in years. Both O’Neal and Darell got to the firing line at the same time to fire the last shot which would determine who would win immunity. The last shot fired was close, but the victor of the match turned out to be O’Neal. Sunshine, his daughter, ran up to him and gave him a big hug and Allison said the next time she would see them would be at the weigh in.
Back in California Bob Harper took the players to a 24Hour Fitness and introduced them to what 24Hour Fitness calls boot camp. Bob Harper told the players they were back at sea level and this last chance workout should be easy. Miggy told America that she was going to give this workout all that she had and then give it all that she did not have. Bob Harper then told the players that the boot camp class was over and now the last chance workout was really about to begin. This is when the sweat started to pour and the grunts and groans started. Playerswere standing on there arms with their feet on walls. Michael then said he has to lose 17 pounds to break The Biggest Loser record of fastest 100 pounds lost. Bob then went on to show O’Neal how to train on a bosu ball
Next e were at the weigh in and Allison told the players that there would be two players sent home and the one below the red line would leave the campus immediately. The weigh in was to be as singles and not as teams. The results were as follows:
O’Neal: 333 / 325 lost 8 pounds. 2.40% He had immunity, so it did not matter.
Michael: 443 / 432 lost 11 pounds. He did not break the 100 pound record, but he did have 2.48%.
Stephanie: 225 / 221 lost 4 pounds. 1.78%
Sunshine: 245 / 239 lost 6 pounds. 2.45%
Koli: 335 / 326 lost 9 pounds. 2.69%
Andrea: 262 / 255 lost 7 pounds. 2.67%
Darrell: 343 / 338 lost 5 pounds. 1.46%
Sam: 310/ 298 lost 12 pounds. 3.87%
Sherry: 180 / 177 lost 3 pounds. 1.67%
Ashley: 317 / 311 lost 6 pounds. 1.89%
Daris: 281 / 274 lost 9 pounds. 3.18%
Cheryl: 194 / 191 lost 3 pounds. 1.55%
Miggy: 206 / 199 lost 7 pounds. 3.40%
Lance: 314 / 305 lost 9 pounds. 2.87%
Melissa: 198 / 199 GAINED 1 pound.
Melissa whined about gaining a pound as soon as she realized that she lost and was going to be sent home. She said she would see them back at the finale and she would be her goal weight. She told Lance that he had to get below 250 pounds before he came home. She told Lance he had to stay focused and he should not follow her home. The person that fell below the red line and was sent home immediatly on February 9 2010 was Melissa. Melissa walked out of the gym and the two players that were facing elimination were Cheryl and Darrell. Allison then said that since this was olympic week there would be no vote, there would be a challenge and the one who won the olympic challenge would be the one to stay. The player that lost the head to head challenge would be sent home right away.
The players went outside and there were two mini olympic torches and each of the two players facing elimination were standing near a torch. The players had the torch on their head and the one that balanced it the longest would be the one to remain on the ranch. The players had to croutch and Darrell was at a disadvantage because of his knees. He was almost in tears from the pain and then we learned that the elimaination of those below the yellow line would be continued till next week.
The Biggest Loser Transformation Moment started with scences of Melissa thanking Bob Harper for all of his help. She went from 233 pounds to 175 pounds for a total loss of 58 pounds. She said that when she got home it “was just me” and it was a struggle to implement the new lifestyle. She decided to take up boxing and do it often. Melissa said her struggle with her weight was real and then the show ended.

The Biggest Loser Recap / Review February 2 2010
The Biggest Loser Recap / Review February 2 2010 is another addition to ThinBlog and our weekly update as to what happened on the show. We always write about what happened every episode, scene by scene. We talk about the challenges and the vote and the weigh in until it is revealed about who is sent home from the ranch. Check us out every week to review the facts or just catch up on what you missed. Now on with the show!!!!
We began with a brief recap of last week and how they voted off Migdalia. Miggy told America how she thought she was ready to be sent home. When she realized she was the one to stay, Miggy said she really did not want to be there anymore. She said they hardest moment of all was when she walked in her bedroom and all of Migdalia’s stuff was gone. Then we broke in a screen with a 911 call about one of the contestants having a sever bout of abdominal pains. It was 2:51 in the morning. Then we learned that Miggy was rushed to the hospital during the night and she was doing fine.
Next we saw Allison tell the players that the challenges of being home were coming back to face them and at that moment two limo’s pulled up and The Yellow and The Blue Team stepped out and were back on the ranch. Then we saw The Yellow Team and The Blue Team tell America how they felt when they were sent home on the first episode. At that moment Allison said the time had come to weigh in at the gym and weigh in to see who was going to stay and who was going to be sent home.
The players arrived at the gym for the Blue Team and Yellow Team weigh off and were met with Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. Bob then told America that all players ever on the show had the rite of passage of doing the last chance workout. We watched the players get worked really hard and the all were sweating and exhausted. Bob then said the next time they met, it would be at the scale to see who stays…Yellow or Blue.
Allison was then shown in the gym telling the players how they were sent home and now it was time to see which team earned their place back to the ranch. They also were told the team that stayed on the ranch would have the only vote at this weeks elimination. They also learned that they would be on the ranch for two weeks before they could be voted home, they had immunity from the elimination. We then saw Bob Harper gasp a breath of disbelief and all the players were shocked. The players all said that it was not right because they did not know the players who deserved to be there on the ranch. The weigh in started and Jillian said “God bless this game show, you never know what’s coming.” They then started the weigh in to see how much the players lost at home in one month.
The Blue Team was the first to step up to the scale and the results were as follows:
The Blue Team: Cherita 277 / 253 lost 24 pounds. Victoria 358 / 319 lost 39 pounds. Total team lost 63 pounds. 9.92%
The Yellow Team: Sunshine 275 / 250 lost 25 pounds. O’Neal 389 / 338 lost 51 pounds. Total team lost 76 pounds. 11.45%
The Blue Team was the team to lose and be sent home and The Yellow Team won the right to return and stay on the ranch. The Yellow Team was thrilled to be back on the ranch and Allison told The Blue Team they were not The Biggest Loser and that they would be back at the grand finale. The Blue Team said they would continue on their path home and it was time to work out.
Next all of the players were in the gym and the workout began. Bob and Jillian were screaming and yelling and Jillian kept telling the players they were too comfortable. O’Neal told America “What the Hell?”. He said everyone was so competitive and he was going to have to be even more competitive. Melissa was about ready to give up and Bob told her to keep moving as we went into a flashback of Bob telling Melissa that she was a liar about the weigh in. Bob then told America that Melissa had a rough time since she has been on the ranch and she needed to have her confidence back to continue on the ranch. 
After a quick commercial break we were back in the gym with Bob telling Melissa to keep moving and Melissa was in tears saying how hard it was. Bob told her that this workout is what the house was all about. This was how she was going to get it done and this was how the house worked. Bob said he was not asking her to do anything she could not do. Melissa was in tears and Bob said that last weigh in she lost 11 pounds and that was her not playing the game and that he had gained respect for her. He told her that it was going to be hard, but she could do it.
Jillian then was seen speaking with Daris and asking why he was close to the line. Why was he not getting his calorie burn? Jillian got him to admit that he had a problem with being overweight and that he had to make a change in his life for when he went home. Jillian asked him questions and he said he needed to have courage and pride in himself. She said he could stop being the funny guy and have a life.
After a commercial we were in the kitchen with The Black Team and The Yellow Team and we were at the start of a commercial that is what we call anti-tivo commercials about turkey. Bob told all that by using ground turkey they could eat well and still lose weight. They then made chili and they all enjoyed the food and said that they could not tell the difference. Bob said the turkey was so much better to eat and everyone agreed how good it was.
We then were at a challenge and Allison said it was a football challenge. Each team had a pair of blocking pads and they had to hit the tackle dummy 1,000 times. The pads they hit were on a sort of horizontal pendulum and they kept hitting it on one side and then alternate and hit the other side. It was sort of a teeter toter on it’s side. Only one player from each team was participating and it was not as easy as it looked. The white Team (Michael) was shocked to learn that hw was tied to win and he pushed even harder and harder. After 7.40 minutes the leader was Sam and Michael with The Red Team inn third place. Immunity was the prize and all of the players were just pushing themselves harder and harder. After over 15 minutes Michael was in 1st place and the competition started to tighten up with Sam catching up. It was really close and then Michael won and he shouted out “I won…I did it Mom!!!”. The rest of the players were still going and the last team to finish was The Pink Team. With being in last place The Pink Team has received a one pound penalty at the weigh in. We then heard Michale tell his fellow players “I never thought I would have been able to do that”.
It was then night time and the camera angle was a moving shot from the pool area looking at the lighted door and windows. Miggy then teared walking around the room and then hobbled in the door and told the other players that she had her appendix removed. She then told America that the only thing she could do was walk and that she was ready to walk to Puerto Rico if she had to do so. We then went to a commercial about the pound for pound challenge. After the short commercial break we were back at the ranch and we had a recap of the first hour of the show. After the recap it was 5:31 AM and we saw Michael and Miggy walking in the dark. Michael told Miggy that she needed to stay on the ranch and then he made a funny. He asked Miggy if he she “heard that?” He then said that there were no birds and “you know why….because they were sleeping!” It was a reference to how early they were up walking.
After another brief built in commercial about making a snack we saw Dr. H. meet with Miggy about her operation. Dr. H. asked her how far she walked the day after surgery and she said that she walked 13 miles. Dr. H. was shocked that she was ale to walk 13 miles the day after she was operated on. Dr. H. said that she had a problem because they poured 8 to 10 pounds of salt water in her to fight infection as part of the surgery. Miggy then broke into tears after she realized the disadvantage she had with the extra water weight inside her from the operation.
Back in the gym Bob and Jillian asked about the challenge and then went over to Miggy and asked her what was wrong. Bob was shocked to hear about her operation and then told America that Miggy had alot of stress this week and that could kill weight loss. Next we saw Bob get Michael do a whole week in the gym and not in the pool. Bob said that this last chance workout was really weird because all of the situations. Immunity. Operation. 2 Pound disadvantage. Bob chuckled as he told America that he was trying to hold it all together. There was then a commercial for being a contestant on a future season of The Biggest Loser. We guess that means there will be more seasons and more chances for us to provide recaps and reviews of the show for you.
After the commercial saw the gym from a distance and then we saw Jillian scream “Welcome to the Biggest Loser Ranch Sunshine!” Bob was then seen working on Lance and Ashley and the tempo of the camera went faster and faster showing Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels put the players through the players. Jillian then told America that Ashley had no fire in her to stay at the ranch. Jillian then told Ashley that she was not working hard enough on the treadmill and yelled at her to “WALK!” Jillian asked Ash why she was “manifesting her own death?” Ash then broke down and said that she regretted her father and his cancer. Jillian said that she was drinking and smoking and eating to make the feelings go away. Jillian asked her what the issues were. Ash said her father said so many bad things to her. She said her Dad told her she was fat and lazy and needed to work out. Ash then said she did not go home when he was dieing because he was always mean to her. Ash then said she was in pain because she was not there when he needed her. She said she only arrived after he could no longer speak. She said she was sorry and then Jillian asked her what she would tell him if he was still alive. Ash then cried and said (to her father) that she “was sorry”.
Back in the gym all the players were told they had to run on the treadmill for 5 minutes. Stephanie was the one giving the commands and acted as if she was in charge. All the players ran for the five minutes and were amazed that they were able to run that long. Bob Harper then introduced the players to yoga and asked them to clear their minds. Bob told the players they were all in the house for a reason. Sunshine told America that she did not know the reason she was in the house, but she would stick around to find out why as her future unfolded.
O’Neal then told America that the impact of having the only vote was just hitting them. He said he was a game player because he wanted to stay on the ranch and that was all he cared about. Sunshine then told America that he trusted her Dad and that told America that she would do whatever her Dad told her to do. Which really meant that O’Neal controlled the show 10 percent at this point. There was then a collage of players telling America the reasons they wanted to stay on the ranch.
At the weigh in Allison asked Miggy and Sunshine how they felt and Miggy told her operation story and Sunshine told America howe this was her first weigh in and how she was so scared. The weigh in then started and since The Yellow Team had won immunity, they were the first to weigh in as the weigh in started.
Yellow Team:Sunshine 250 / 245 lost 5 pounds. O’Neal 338 / 33 3 lost 5 pounds. Total team lost 10 pounds. 1.70%
White Team: Michael: 456/ 443 lost 13 pounds. 2.85% He told America how proud he was and that he would never have done that before at home before he changed.
Pink Team: Ashley 326 / 317 lost 9 pounds. / Sherry 186 / 180 lost 6 pounds.Total team lost 15 pounds. 2.54 % This percentage was with the 2 pound disadvantage factored in.
Red Team: Melissa 203 / 198 lost 5 pounds. / Lance 318 / 314 lost 4 pounds. Total team lost 9 pounds. 1.73 % She threw her husband under the bus for his 4 pound loss.
Black Team: Andrea 267 / 262 lost 5 pounds. Darrell 351 / 343 lost 8 pounds. Total team lost 13 pounds. 2.10 % Jillian told her to stop stressing, Bob told her she made it another week.
Gray Team: Sam 320 / 310 lost 10 pounds. Koli 341 / 335 lost 6 pounds. Total team lost 16 pounds. 2.42%
Orange Team: Cheryl 197 / 194 lost 3 pounds. / Daris 295 / 283 lost 12 pounds. Total team lost 15 pounds. 3.05% Jillian said Daris figured it out “a bit”
Purple Team: Stephanie 230 / 225 lost 5 pounds. 2.17%
Green Team: Miggy 211 / 206 lost 5 pounds. 2.37% This was the first time she showed emotions and smiled. It was nice to see!
Brown Team: John 427 / 421 lost 6 pounds.
Since John lost the lowest percentage of body fat he was the one that fell below the yellow line and since he was the only member of The Brown Team, John was the one to be sent home this week and there was no vote held which means that The Yellow Team had no say and the right to choose was voided. John was in tears and he said he has had the change in his life he needed. he said he no longer has to be the person he has been. The player voted off the episode of The Biggest Loser February 2 2010 was The Brown Team member John, by default because he was the only member on the team that fell below the yellow line.
The Biggest Loser Transformation moment began with John telling America he weighed 485 pounds and now he was 380 pounds and lost 105 pounds. he said he had a very difficult time when he first got home. He found it harder to get to the gym everyday and it was not until he found martial arts that he started to get a groove for weight loss. We then saw James and his brother John playing basketball and sparring in martial arts. John said that The Biggest loser helped change his life.
Next week the players go to the Olympic training session in Colorado and the players will start as singles and that two people would be sent home next week.
The show then ended.
The Biggest Loser Season 9 Premiere Recap January 5 2010
The Biggest Loser Season 9 Premiere Recap January 5 2010. Once again Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper were on hand to greet all of the new contestants for the new season. This website offers you a great recap and review of all the events that took place. Don’t miss a single moment of what happened on the show. Was anyone sent home? How did Bob and Jillian react? What are the names of the players? Are the players still using the BodyBugg? Have they updated a new version of BodyBugg? It is all right here on the Biggest Loser recap and review of The Biggest Loser Season 9 Premiere Recap January 5 2010.
The show and the season started off with a scene of a very overweight man walking in front of the camera. The difference that started off this season was that the new players started off having to weigh in at their home towns, in public. The new players were, for the first time ever, had to take their shirts off to weigh in at a public place, in their home town. There were various scenes of the players yelling and getting yelled at by Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels and it ended up with Bob and Jillian looking up saying that one of the 22 players would be the next Biggest Loser. The Season 9 Premier was a go and now for the recap and review of that entire episode.
The next scene was Bob and Jillian calling all the players on the phone one at a time and telling them that they had to each weigh in in front of all their friends, in their home towns. The one to do so first was the Orange Team players walking into the gym of a High School, while two brothers in Orlando, Florida were getting set to weigh in. Then Patti from the Purple Team and then back to the Brown Team while the Orange Team Daris walked up to the scale in public. Daris weighed in at 346 pounds and then he addressed the crowd and told them he was going to make them proud. His mother was dressed in and Orange shirt to cheer him on. The mother was Cheryl and she weighed in at 227. Then Patricia on the Purple Team weighed in at 243 followed by her team mate at 264 pounds. James on the Brown Team weighed in at a whopping 485 and his twin brother John was a close 484 pounds. They were the half ton twins and they were huge. WOW!!!
The Pink Team was Ashley and Sheri, Mother, daughter team. Ashley, the daughter was weighed in at 374, then the Black Team came out and introduced themselves as a Dad Daughter Team. Andrea was 298 while Dad, Darrell was at 413 pounds. Soon we were in Texas with the Blue Team Cherita and Victoria and Cherita was at 277 while Victoria was 358. They were a mother, daughter Team.
Another Mom, daughter team came out and they were Migadalia,Daughter weighed in at 265, while Mom weighed in at 240 pounds. They were on the Green Team and they were from Puerto Rico. Quickly we were with a married couple Melissa at 233 and her hubby at 365 named Lance. They were the Red Team and they lived on a ranch somewhere in Texas. The next two players were Tongans and they were Koli and Sam. Koli was 403 and his cousin and Black Team Mate Sam weighed in at 372. They were inspired from the previous season players from Tonga.
Sunshine and O’neal were father, daughter team and outside a post office they stepped on a scale to weigh in. O’neal said he had to have his daughter put his shoes on while Sunshine confessed she has never even been kissed by a boy. Sunshine weighed in at 275 and broke down in tears. Her Dad weighed in at 389 pounds and he actually looked much larger. Next we were in Chicago watching son and Mom Italians Maria at 281 and ,Mike step on the scale at 526 pounds and he looked very large as he stood in front of his favorite Italian restaurant on the scale. The show continued as does this recap and review of The Biggest Loser Season 9 after the break of commercials.
After the break we were on The Biggest Loser Ranch watching Limo after limo pull up as the players started to arrive and meet with the host Allison. With all the players at the ranch Allison welcomed them and told the players to follow her. They walked up to the gym and there was no equipment in the building to be seen. Allison told them there was a season of surprises ahead and the first challenge was about to start and it had to do with bikes. The players had to ride 26.2 miles on a stationary bike and were told that the first 9 teams to finish would stay on the ranch and the two teams that came in last place would be asked to leave the ranch as soon as they lost. As all the players gasped in shock, the recap and review of the season episode went to another commercial break. The season Premier for season 9 was about to really get started.
The players all told America that they were there less than 5 minutes and they were in shock they were already getting ready to be sent home. Allison told the players they were the sickest players ever on the show and that there were a team of medical personnel standing by in case they were needed during the competition. The camera switched back and forth between the team members bikes, as the , miles the individual team players were combined to the one total goal of 26.2 miles. The players were not doing well, as none of them were in decent shape. The Green Team was the first to make the 26.2 miles and the also were the first to win immunity. The rest of the teams came in as Gray team and then Black Team followed by Orange Team. The Blue Team Mom was not doing well and then she keeled over in pain and grabbed the bike while Dr. H. grabbed her to stop her from falling to the floor. Surrounded by medical personnel and Dr. H. she was told her it “was over” and she had to get off the bike. The Pink Team came in next followed by The Red Team and then The Italian White Team. The Brown Team was next and then it was the Purple Team. The Yellow and Blue Team were the two losers that were to be sent home. Allison said goodbye to the two losing teams and they walked out of the gym door to awaiting limos parked outside.
Jillian and Bob stopped the limo before it left the ranch, it was dark as Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels ran out in front of the car and stopped them from exiting the ranch. Jillian and Bob got in the limo and told them it was not over. Inside the limo the two teams were told they would head home for 30 days and then come back and weigh in. Both teams were estatic and quickly it was the next morning and Bob Harper set off the fire alarm to the entire building and the players started to file out of the building. Bob told America he had the biggest group of people he has ever seen. Jillian looked tiny compared to the men players. Bob told them it was time to start and they all went right at the workout. Bob said the “day one” workout was meant to be a wake up call. Jillian said the players were puking out of windows left and right while others were crying and Jillian told America that they had not even started yet. Jillian then spoke about how important it was to hydrate and drink water.
Jillian then cornered Mom Cheryl and said she was the one that always put everyone else in front of herself. Jillian yelled in her face and asked her if she was ready to put herself first. Cheryl then became a wild woman and Bob said “someone wound up that Moma like a top in the gym”. She was screaming and yelling and punching a bag as if she became a possessed demon. The first hour of The Biggest Loser Season 9 Premiere was over.
The players were all sitting around confessing how unhappy they were with their lives and the tears were flying and the confessions were flowing. All of the players were opening up and telling the world all of the things that dragged them down. They told how the previous seasons influenced their desire to be on the show and make a change in their lives. It was quite touching as each player truly opened up to the world about how unhappy they were.
As in all previous seasons the season premiere of season 9 was no different when talking about BodyBugg. Bob Harper explained to America all the benefits of how great the Bodybuggwas to aid a person lose weight. Bob Harper explained how all of the features worked and how it added up the calories that were burned each and every minute a person wore the BodyBugg. Seeing Bob Harper explain the Benefits of Bodybugg
answered many of the viewers asking the question “what is that thing on the arm of the players on The Biggest Loser?” The answer was simple, listening to Bob Harper tell America how to operate The BodyBugg. It was easy to see that although Bob was doing a paid commercial, he believed in the product. It was one of the times that Bob Harper did not sound like a commercial, while acting for a commercial.
Bob then told America just how big the players were this season and how he had his work cut out for him this season. Jillian told the ladies they had a nation to inspire and Bob gave the nickname Texas to one of the Red Team male players. Jillian told America that although they may have known the show as a fan, they still did not KNOW what a last chance work out was all about. The Black Team was suffering and Bob told America that the first last chance workout was to push the limits. Jillian told America that The Biggest Loser Ranch was the end of the road and that you really did not want to be there.
The Brown Team John was then telling America he had a bad knee and he was at a disadvantage. It sounded as if he was already making excuses of why he could not keep going. Then we saw him swimming in a pool and him telling America he was not going to give up.
The players were then seen walking into their very first weigh in. Allison told them it was a wild week since they beared their bodies and souls to America on the scale in public. The results went on with Bob Harper telling America that the teams this year were the biggest players in the history of the show. Allison told them the weigh in was about to start and it was the total percentage of weight loss that determined the winner and the loser. Since the Green Team won immunity they went first. The weigh in went as follows:
Green Team: Migdalia 265 / 249 lost 16 pounds. Miggy 240 / 224 lost 13 pounds. Total team loss is 29. 5.74%
Gray Team: Sam 372 / 354 lost 18 pounds. Koli 403 / 374 lost 29 pounds. Total team loss 47 pounds. 6.06%
Orange Team:Cheeryl 227 / 213 lost 14 pounds. Daris 346 / 317 lost 29 pounds. Total team loss 43 pounds. 7.50%
Black Team: Andrea 298 / 284 lost 14 pounds. Darrell 413 / 383 lost 30 pounds. Total team lost 44 pounds. 6.19 %
Brown Team: James 485 / 462 lost 23 pounds. John 484 / 461 lost 23 pounds. Total team lost 46 pounds. 4.75 %
Red Team: Melissa 233 / 214 lost 19 pounds. Lance 365 / 344 lost 21 pounds. Total team lost 40 pounds. 6.69%
Purple Team: Patti 243 / 220 lost 23 pounds. Stephanie 264 / 246 lost 18 pounds. Total team lost 41 pounds 8.09%
Pink Team: Ashley 374 / 353 lost 21 pounds. Sherry 218 / 201 lost 17 pounds. Total team lost 38 pounds. 6.42%
White Team: Maria 281 / 268 lost 13 pounds. Michael 526 / 492 lost 34 pounds. Total team lost 47 pounds. Michael Lost more weight than anyone in Biggest Loser Season history 5.82%
The team that had the lowest percentage of body fat lost was the Brown Team. That meant that either James or John was going to go home. John pleaded his case that his knee was bad and he himself should be sent home because his knee bad. Cheryl told America she hated to break up a twin brother team. The other players were not sure of who to send home. The pros were to keep the one with the bad knee so he would get help he needed. As the commercial break came on the viewers had no idea who was going home. It was a tough call for the rest of the players on the ranch.
We restarted the show sitting at the table of elimination. The Green Team voted to sent home John. The Black Team voted for James. The Red Team voted to send home James. The Pink Team voted to send home James. The Purple Team voted to send home James. The White Team voted to send home James.
The player with the most votes and voted to be sent home was James. The Player voted off the series premiere of The Biggest Loser Season 9 that aired on January 5, 2010 was James.
James vowed to America that he was going to keep going after he got home. The Biggest Loser Transformation Moment showed James at home lost 100 pounds in 2 months. He went from 485 pounds to 385 pounds and he looked better and claimed he worked out all the time. He said he eats home all the time and he was getting very happy and there were scenes of his wife saying she lost 24 pounds herself and she was proud of what they had accomplished. It was a touching moment to see the positive results from someone that really did not look like he was motivated while he was on the ranch. Maybe he was ALOT more motivated that he looked, because he did go home and lose 100 pounds.
That is all for the Season 9 Series Premier of The Biggest Loser that aired on January 5 2010. We hope you enjoyed this recap and review of the show! See you next week for the next Biggest Loser recap and Review on Thin Blog.

The episode of The Biggest Loser that aired on March 2 2010 has been recapped and reviewed here on ThinBlog for you to be able to find out what happened on this particular episode. Learn what happened, learn who was sent home. Learn how it happened and the body weight each player started and ended the show. Book mark this site so you can check on past episodes and discover things you may have missed. Okay! Now it is time to review tonight’s episode.
As you know, this episode is part two from last weeks episode and that is where the show started. Both players were squatted and stood there balancing a torch on their head. The pesron that would be first to drop the torch would go home right then and there. Both players told America that they were in pain and after nine minutes Darrell dropped the torch and he was the one going home. Darrell bid farewell to the other players and he was gone.
It was soon the next day and there was a challenge and it was revealed that the split wasabout to happen and the Blue verses Black was about to begin. The winner of the challenge would choose the sides for the teams and also could pick anyone for immunity. Allison said that they had to raise their hand to play in the challenge. Allison counted to three and the players that raised their hand would participate in the challenge. The players that did raise their hand to participate were Mike and Andrea. These were the two players that would compete in the classic game of memory. If they could pick a card and reveal a food behind it and then match that food with the same food behind another card. they would beable to skip a eating turn and force the opponent to eat another round of food. If they made a match, the other player had to eat the food behind the cards. Every time they DID NOT get a match they had to eat a 100 calorie cookie.When they were able to match two pairs of golden tickets they would win the challenge. Many cards were revealed and they had to eat many cookies until Michael found a familiar food group but could not pair it up. Then Andrea was able to make a match and Michael had to eat another cookie. Andrea then made anothermatch and Michael had to eat anothercookie while Andrea went on to pick another card. Andrea now had 3 golden tickets and Michael was up to 1,760 calories. Michael was getting sick from eating souchjunk food Michael was up to 2,310 calories and it was again his turn to look for a pair of tickets. He found one ticket and then another to win the game.1,320 calories were eaten by Andrea and she lost all the power to Michael. Allison then told Michael the way he would pick the teams and the trainers. Each team would have 6 players and the person that would have immunity would not be on the a team. After the weigh in the person with the immunity would then be on the team that lost the weigh in. Michael told America that he was going to choose sides based on how it would benefit himself. There was then a commercial break.
Michael then chose the players and the trainers as following and he then said that he was taking care of himself for the first time in his life.
Black Team was as follows: Sam, Cheryl, Andrea, Stephanie, Sherry, Ashley
Blue Team was as follows: Koli, Daris, Lance, Miggy, Sunshine, Michael,
The kicker of it all was that Michael chose to be on the Blue Team which he stacked to be the winning team. What Michael did was that he set himself up to be on the winning team and then gave away the immunity to O.Neal. Everyone was not happy because not only did he stack the teams he split up all of the couple like Mom and son and cousin and cousin. Everyone was now quite ticked with Michael.
Jillian was then seen walking into the gym and said “what the Hell happened?” Jillian said it was so unfair and the curses were bleeped out of her mouth. Jillian yelled that he did not even give them a chance. Michael said to Jillian that he was using the rules and Bob told him that he had to start taking care of himself. Bob said nothing and shook his head while Jillian said it made her freak out because of her flashbacks of junior high school. Then everyone got on a tread mill and it was agreed that they had to work out 3x harder to just break even with the stacked teams.
The workout in the gym began and Bob was barking out orders and told his stacked team that they did not have it won and they still had to work really hard. Back in the ranch common area later on the other players were very angry with Michael and all of the other players voiced their disgust with Michael. The conversations turned pretty ugly and right before a commercial Michael told Miggy that if she were to fall below the line he would send her home because she was no use to him. it was a very rude and cold comment.
Jillian then came out and did a commercial for Larabar
back at the ranch we saw Dr. H. greeting the players and update them on their health. Ashley recovered 8 years of her life and she was improving greatly in only 7 weeks. Sam received a great report also and even more so because he not only lost weight, but also quit smoking.
Bob was screaming “last chance workout” and the sweat was pouring and the screams were loud. Bob told America that he was afraid his team was too overconfident and the may take a big fall at the weigh in.
Michael told America that the Black Team was driven and had a mission that made them very competitive. and next we saw the players all walking into the gym for the weigh in. The results were as follows:
O’Neal: 325 / 316 lost 9 pounds. 2.77 % He had immunity and his weight did not count and it was impressive that he did not play the game.
Blue Team:
Michael: 432 / 417 lost 15 pounds.
Sunshine: 239 / 232 lost 7 pounds.
Lance: 305 / 300 lost 5 pounds.
Miggy: 199 / 195 lost 4 pounds.
Daris: 274 / 267 lost 7 pounds.
Koli: 326 / 316 lost 10 pounds.
Blue Team Totals were 48 pounds, which was 2.70%
The Black Team:
Andrea: 255 / 250 lost 5 pounds.
Cheryl: 191 / 187 lost 4 pounds.
Sherry: 177 / 171 lost 6 pounds.
Sam: 298 / 290 lost 8 pounds.
Stephanie: 221 / 213 lost 8 pounds.
Ashley: 311 / 301 lost 10 pounds.
Black Team Totals were 41 pounds, which was 2.82%
It was an amazing weigh in because The Black Team was able to beat The Stacked Blue Team. The darl cloud of being the weak team was cast aside and The Black Team won. The irony of it was that Michael who created the hard feelings of the episode had the highest % of weight loss and so he could not be sent home. At the discussion The Blue Team had to decide who was to be sent home and it was decided that they had to choose what was best for the team. The vote went as follows:
Lance: Voted for Miggy
Daris: Voted for Miggy
Miggy: Voted for Lance
Michael: Voted for Lance
Sunshine: Voted for Miggy
Koli: Voted for Miggy
The person voted off the ranch on March 2 2010 was Miggy. Miggy was sent home.
The Biggest loser Transformation Moment began with Miggy telling America that she was able to heal herself and improve herself. She went from 240 to 179 pounds. Miggy told America that she used to always be stressed out and now she meditates and has learned how to relax. She said the best thing that happened to her was that she changed her energy from negative to positive.
The Biggest Loser Transformation Moment continued with Darrell who was sent home at the start of the show. He went from 413 to 293 for a total of 123 pounds lost. He now works out with his wife and he really looked much healthier now and his wife looked very happy. He said he owed The Biggest Loser his life.
The Biggest Loser Recap / Review January 26 2010
The Biggest Loser episode that aired on January 26 2010 started off with scenes of the players walking in the ranch from last weeks vote. Mike was sad because his Mom was gone and then John asked him if he was going to step it up this week. John told America that it was going to be a tough week because everyone was going to watch him. Allison appeared and said for the first time ever during a pop challenge the winner would have immunity. There were 3 envelopes and to see what was in them they had to win the challenge. To win the challenge the players had to run the presidential mile, which was a loop around the ranch. Every lap they get a key-card and that key-card will either give them and “X” or a green check mark from a machine that looked like an ATM. The first one to get 3 checks would win. Pink, Red, Brown and Yellow were the first to get a check. Then The Pink Team had the 2nd check which put them ahead. Mike went 4 laps and did not have any checks and he was getting upset. The Pink Team then got a red “X” and the results started to pile up with no clear winner in sight. Stephanie went 9 laps and did not get any points. Mike made a strong comeback and got a 2nd point. On lap 7 The Pink Team got anotherred “X” and then the Red Team aslo got another “x” and it went on and on until the winner was revealed to be The Red Team, and they had immunity.
Allison then took the 3 large blue envelopes and in them there were things to be done to other players. The first card was “no access to gym” while the second card was “no elimination vote” and the 3rd card said 2 pound disadvantage. They had to give the cards to any players of their choice and it could all go to one team or 3 teams. The Red Team players said they did not like the burden, but it had to be done. The choices of the envelopes were to give John no access to the gym because he had a knee issue and he would use the pool. John said he was okay with that. They then went to Michael and said he would receive the card for “no elimination vote” because of the hurtful things said last week. They gave him the card to give his emotions a chance to recover. The third card which was a 2 pound DIS-advantage was given The Green Team. Miggy flipped out and would not allow them The Red Team to explain. Lance explained anyway and said that they gave The Green Team the 2 pound disadvantage because they had a great week last week and expected them to bounce back with good numbers this week. The Green Team was not happy. Miggy told America that if they had the power, they would have handed all 3 envelopes to The Red Team
The next scene the players were in the gym and Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels walked in and said “where’s Bob?” Melissa stated they had immunity once again and Jillian put her head in her hands in disgust. Lance explained why they gave out the cards the way they did. Miggy chimed in that the reason was not true because they did not have the good numbers. Bob said he had to talk to The Red Team about their weigh in and there was a flash back to the yelling at last weeks weigh in. Melissa told America that last week Bob attacked her and she would hold a grudge forever. Melissa said that she was being accused of being a liar and then Melissa said she was not a liar. Bob told America that he was 99% sure it was game play and then said that he had 1% doubt. Lance said that he lost respect that night Bob verbally attacked Melissa but now he had some respect for Bob since he came out and spoke to them. Bob told America that he was ready to move on and get going and that Jillian would have a harder time with this than he did.
The players went outside to exercise and Lance was separated from the workout because of his knee issue. Jillian then cornered Lance and said that Melissa was telling a lie. Lance resented it all and said his wife was not telling a lie. Lance said she was not a liar and then Jillian said she was and she knew she was. Lance then said he lost all respect for Jillian and then walked away and said he would have nothing to do with her and would not work with her. Jillian said “such is life” and walked away and the camera went to a commercial.
Jillian walked over to Bob Harper training the players outside and said to Bob loudly in front of everyone that Lance walked away and that Jillian knew Melissa was a liar. Jillian said it quite loud so all the players heard what was going on. Jillian said that The Red Team was Bob’s because they won’t work with her anymore. Bob had a look of horror on his face as he realized how Jillian was talking about Melissa so loudly. Jillian then said that she needed one person from each team to do boxing training. Bob told Melissa to go with Jillian and then grabbed her and shook her wishing her good luck. Melissa walked up to Jillian to box and then told Melissa that she was not welcome to train with her. Jillian said that she knew the science of weight loss. Jillian said that there was no way Melissa was telling the truth and thus “Melissa was a liar”. Jillian said that Melissa was a liar and that was that. Melissa pleaded that she was not telling a lie. Jillian said she was not refusing her help, she was just refusing to believe her. Jillian held her ground and said you can work with me and if you want or you can go with Bob. Jillian told America that she had no doubt that Melissa was telling a lie.
The next scene Lance and Melissa were in their bed talking about how to get past the issue. Melissa told Lance that they had to put all the stuff behind them and work with Jillian. There was then a commercial and after the commercial Jillian was in the kitchen and there was a commercial for another product. This was one of those TIVO proof commercials. After all of the commercials we were at a dock and there were ropes that went really high and Allison came out in a yellow hard hat. Allison told them they had to get in a cage and lift themselves up 120 feet in the air. The reward was a phone call home and also they could choose three other teams to call home also. The Green Team said thay had to win because they knew The Red Team would never pick them. They were in a cage that held each team. There was a pull up bar that had to be pulled down and that downward motion is what lifted the cage with the two players up a very short distance. All the players were struggling and all of them spoke of how much harder it was to do it than they thought it was going to be. Gray Team was winning with The Red Team close behind. It appeared as if the other teams already had given up swince they were so far behind. All of a sudden The Red Team kicked it into warp speed and almost won. The Gray Team won by about one second and the privilege to phone home. All of a sudden KOli started to cry because he was so happy to call home. They then chose who would be allowed to call home and they chose The Red Team and then Melissa broke out in tears because they were so happy. The second team was The Green Team and Miggy walked up to hug them and Migdalia said thanks, but was not emotional at all. The third team allowed to join in on the call home was John because he was by himself and he needed the contact with his family.
The show returned from the commercial break with the recap and then we saw all the players make their phone call home and the tears were flowing and the stories were tearful and it was just heart warning to hear the stories that were told. Sam spoke of how great it was to hear his father tell him he loved him in his adult life. John cried as he heard young child. John said he was their because of his family as his Dad died when he was 15 and he did not want to do that to his famishe wanted to go home. Lance and Melissa spoke to their two children and then we saw Miggy have a conversation with his family and said she may be home sooner than they thought. She told America once she heard his voice she wanted to go home. Migdalia then heard her families voice and she started to cry and told America he was a soldier adn he was deploying to Afghanistan and she would not get to see him before he goes. It was sad to see.
Bob then took the entire house to a Subway restaurant and the built in commercial and started to talk about a surprise last chance workout. Bob told them they had to run to the top of the hill. Mike said it was not a hill, it wasw a mountain. John was happy since he got to workout with everyone even though he was not allowed into the gym. Bob pushed yelled and chided from behind as the players were going up to ther top of the hill. Jillian was at the top of the hill and said it was not the end, but it was only the start. Bob told Jillian to “kill em” and the paces became faster as Jillian made all of the players lift, run and push wheelbarrows. Jillia told America she normally did not like the outdoors, but since she could torture people she liked it. The players were soaking wet with sweat and Koli had to push Sam up the hill in the wheelbarrow. Sam kept flipping out of the wheelbarrow and Jillian told them it was alright because it was impossible. Sam and Koli decided that they were going to do it and tried again and again until the made it to the top of the hilll in the wheelbarrow.
After the commercialthe weigh in began with Miggy whining about how the 2 pound disadvantage . Miggy told Allison that Melissa was all about game play from the start. John was told that since he was the only player on his team, if he was below the yellow line, he would just go home. The first team to weight in was the Red Team. The results from the weigh in were as follows:
Red Team: Melissa 214 /203 lost 11 pounds / Lance 324/ 318 lost 6 pounds. 17 pounds team total. 3.16%
White Team: Michael: 471 / 456 lost 15 pounds. 3.18%
Black Team: Andrea 272 / 267 lost 5 pounds. Darrell 361 / 351 lost 10 pounds. 15 pounds team total. 2.37%
Gray Team: Sam 334 /320 lost 14 pounds. Koli 353 / 341 lost 12 pounds. 26 pounds team total. 3.78%

Green Team: Migdalia 237 / 233 lost 4 pounds. Miggy 212 / 211 lost 1 pound. 5 pounds team total. .67%
Once the Green Team walked off the scael Melissa from The Red Team said that the 2 pound disadvantage did not matter and then Migdalia told Melissa to “shut up”. Jillian put her head in her hands. It was a rough portion of the weigh in. Miggy told her daughter to not let them see you cry. Jillian then stressed out because of the way the mother told Migdalia to never show emotion. Jillian yelled at Bob that that was the problem. It was obvious that Miggy and Migdalia have anger issues wrapped up with the lack to show emotions.
When the time started to plead their case, Migdalia said “I want to go home, That’s it!” Melissa told the house that the drama of the house was coming from Miggy. The vote then started and it went as follows:
Red Team:Voted to send home Miggy
Orange Team: Voted to send home Migdalia
Pink Team:Voted to send home Migdalia
Purple Team:Stephanie voted to send home Migdalia
Gray Team: Voted to send home Miggy
Brown Team:John voted to send home Miggy
Black Team:Voted to send home Migdalia
The player voted off of The Biggest Loser on Jan 26 2010 and was sent home was Migdalia.
The Biggest Loser Transformation Moment started with Migdalia telling America that she was happy with herself. She said she did not leave a pat on the shoulder and told America the next time we saw her see would weigh 140 pounds. The next moment we saw her and she weighed 219 pounds. She told America how hard it was for her husband to be away while she was home. She was shown exercising and how she loved herself again and how she no longer was ashamed to see herself in the mirror. It ended with the caption that she plans on running a marathon with her husband.
The show then ended.
