The Biggest Loser Recap: January 27, 2009

1/27/2009 Episode of The Biggest Loser.  Bookmark this website for updates on The Biggest Loser episode scheduled for January 27, 2009.  This site is a HUGE Biggest Loser fan and wants to provide you with the latest events of the show.  We will recap and go over the entire episode.  You will learn how the player was sent home and all the emotions that were involved.

Tonight was a pretty good show.  The partners were brought back to the ranch to witness the weigh in, but were not part of the weigh in. The returning partners weigh in is scheduled to take place in the first ten minutes of the show that airs next week on February 3, 2009.

Bob Harper stated that Joelle was doing “excellent” and that he has seen an awakening in her spirit.  Blaine left for two days to be with his wife for the birth of his child, who arrived healthy.

Australian Chef Curtis Stonearrived to show everyone how to make healthier food choices.  There was going to be an award to the winner of the challenge for a two pound pass and a visit at their home with Curtis Stone.  The contestants had to guess what the calorie content was for some dishes of food, without going over.  These were the choices:

Chicken wings, ranch dressing and celery:  Total calories were 991 and Dan guessed 800 to win.

Bread bowl chili with sour cream:  Total calories were 1165 and Kristin guessed 834 to win.

7 Layer dip:  Total calories were 1765 and Helen guessed 1500 to win.

The semi final winners then advanced to the final round where they had to guess the calorie content of Curtis’s meal.  Dan guessed 230 to win the final round and the 2 pound pass for his home bound partner on the next weigh in.  Having won the challenge they then went off to a Wal-Mart to buy groceries from the fresh produce center.  It was interesting to see Wal-Mart on the Biggest Loser as we here have no memory of them ever being advertised.

It was at this point that a map flashed across the screen showing that the Biggest Loser Ranch is located in Malibu, California.  (We only throw that in because so many people have asked where The Biggest Loser Ranch is located.)

Bob Harper then brought in some platforms to make his trainees jump up onto.  He wanted to help them grow in confidence and to show them they could reach those heights from a stationary position and jump onto them.

The scene now shifted to a football field for all of the contestants to play against one another for team immunity.  The challenge was for them to have to get five footballs in every other player’s box and be the last one on the field.  To everyone’s surprise, Kurt Warner arrived on the scene and  he is a football player extraordinaire.  He has been the NFL MVP twice and was also the MVP for Super Bowl 34.   He was there to motivate the players but he appeared to take a liking to Dan as it was seen in the distance him prodding him along to finish.  The contestants received 5 balls in the following order.  Filipe, Tara, Dane, Kristin, Mandy, Dan, Mike, Joelle, and the one who never received 5 was Helen and she won the immunity for herself and her daughter Shanon.

We then switched to a staged scene, with all involved doing some bad acting showing us, the audience, the benefit for eating a certain cereal.  Bob, quit the commercials, please!!  Either that or get better scripts!!!

It was not until we were half way through the show before Jillian Michaels showed up on the scene.  She said a comment about Dan that he was more talk than he was action and that he did n0t follow through on what he said he was going to do.  Jillian was disappointed with him, or at least it seemed to show through to us, the audience.   During a round on the treadmill Jillian kept yelling at Dan and then Dan fell down.   Jillian just kept yelling at him to get up.  Jillian made him get up and he almost started to cry and then Jillian went into one of her classic touchy feely what is at the core of your weight problem conversation.  She got him up on the tread mill and then pushed him to a point of a run where he was able to achieve a completion.  From that point on she stopped tearing him down and tried to help build him up.  Dan was upset that he was never going to be able to achieve his dreams of being thin.

At the start of the weigh in all of the contestants that were sent home walked into the Biggest Loser Gym.  The players were then weighed in and the results were as follows. Ron and Mike (Brown) lost 7 amd 9 pounds respectively.  Blaine (Black) lost 11 pounds Dane (Black) lost 15 pounds, Filipe (Blue) lost 13 pounds and gave a heartfelt thanks to Bob Harper.  Tara  (Green) lost 12 pounds, Kristin (purple) lost 12 pounds, Mandi (Yellow) lost 10 pounds, Dan (Orange) lost 12 pounds, Joelle (Silver) lost 10 pounds  Helen (Pink) who had immunity, lost 6 pounds.

The two teams that had the lowest percentage of weight loss for the week were the Brown Team and the Orange Team.  The teams then went to debate who should stay and who should go home.  David the home bound partner revealed he could lose the same amount of weight at home, and kind of sort of said, that he would not mind going home.  This outraged some of the players.

Orange Team = Dan and Dave

Brown Team = Ron and Mike

The votes were as follows.  Pink Team (Helen and Shanon) voted to send home Orange, Yellow Team (Mandi and Aubrey) voted to send home Brown, Purple  Team(Kristin and Cathy) voted to send home Orange, Black Team (Blaine and Dane) voted to send home Brown, Green Team (Laura and Tara) voted to send home Brown.  Silver Team (Joelle and Carla) voted to send home Orange and the Blue Team (Filipe and Sione) voted to send home Orange.

The end result of the vote for The Biggest Loser January 27,  2009 was to send home the Orange Team, Dan and David.

For the recap at the end of the Biggest Loser Moment ,Dan has gone on to lose 60 pounds and David lost 46 pounds.  Dan no longer needs to take his oral diabetes medicine and David said he quit smoking
