The Biggest Loser: Pride In Vegas

Is it true that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? For the blue team, I highly doubt it. Jay was the Biggest Loser last week and got the chance to pull an envelope. The prize he won was not only for himself but for the rest of his team as well: a trip to Vegas! The guys shacked up in a gorgeous suite at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The showers even had stripper poles! Now that's high class.

Bob wasn't very happy when he found out about his blue team traveling to Sin City. He was worried that the lure of the buffets and cheap booze would take hold, so he told them they had to work out while they were there. Mark and Jay did a great job working out but Roger and Dan slacked off a little. Actually, Dan slacked off a lot. After staying out until 6:00 AM, Roger and Dan were in no shape to make it to the 7:00 workout. Mark and Jay finally went and woke them up right before 10:00 AM so they could get their workout for the day in. Roger was ticked off though! He'd asked Mark and Jay to wake him up in the first place and they hadn't. Roger did get up and did work out, but Dan? He stayed in the comfy bed until it was time to go get his tattoo.

That's right! I said tattoo. The guys had come to the decision the previous day to get tattoos that say "pride," their team motto. Stupid, I know. I couldn't believe Dan actually went through with it. The show's editing made you think he would wuss out at the last moment, leaving the other three holding the bag, but he didn't. And to prove how much of a man he was, he got his very first tattoo on his forearm. It was huge. I have a feeling Momma Jackie ain't going to be happy. What can you do though? The guy's 21.

The challenge this week was a lame one. It was an obstacle course that consisted of flipping tires, hauling sandbags, rolling medicine balls, and running a half male. Only a half mile! Guess who lost. The amazing black team. (I hope you read that in a sarcastic tone by the way.) As if Dan's cockiness couldn't get any worse in this episode, he explained that the black team lost because they're "obviously a much weaker team." Well thank you Captain Obvious! The best thing about the challenge, though, was that it had no consequence in the upcoming weigh-in. The blue team did win all-expenses-paid trips for two to Puerto Rico, though.

The weigh-in was stunning this week. The black team pounded the blue team. Black lost a total of 30 pounds for 3.69% of their weight while the blue team only lost 23 pounds and 2.47% of their weight. Somebody in blue would be going down. Unfortunately for me, there would be no backstabbing and fighting to watch. Mark threw himself on his sword so that he could pay back Roger for sending Trent home. And to see the amount of crying in this episode, you'd think these guys were a bunch of ninnies. Jeez! What am I watching? Oprah?

Next week, we're supposed to see the biggest challenge in the game's history. There's also supposed to be a bigger twist than we've ever seen. Oh, and no more teams! What did you think about this episode?
