The Biggest Loser: Makeover Time!

This week's episode of The Biggest Loser picked up right from where they left off last week: immediately before the elimination. I just knew in my heart of hearts that it was Brittany's time to go home, but I was wrong -- and I was thrilled! I never liked Maggie, so it was nice to watch her make her exit.

My favorite part of this show was the makeovers. (The makeovers are always my favorite part Biggest Loser though.) After watching these people struggle all this time to lose weight, wearing next-to-nothing but sweats and spandex with their hair pulled back and no makeup on, it was time for some haircuts and new outfits. It didn't hurt either that the Tim Gunn was there to guide them.

All of them looked fabulous in their new outfits, but the two that looked the best to me were Kelli and Brittany. Could you believe that plunging neckline on her dress? The girl definitely had the cleavage to fill it out too. Kelli looked amazing with her new hair cut, but what shocked me the most was how she looked with her makeup. I almost didn't even recognize her. She definitely needs to remember what they did so she can go home and do the same thing. And somewhere in the back of my mind I kept thinking, "I wonder what Paul would say if he could see her now." Oh to be a fly on the wall in Paul's house last night. And I may be in the minority here but I really couldn't stand Dan's new hair cut. I guess it was better than his old one, but I still think he would have looked better with a shorter cut.

After the photo shoot (where Ali landed the cover of Prevention magazine), it was time to get back to work. Specifically, it was time for the challenge. And it was an endurance one! Treadmills were suspended 10 feet above a pool, and the contestants had to walk backwards on them. As time went on, the level of incline would be raised and the speed would be kicked up a notch.

I so wanted one of the girls to win but it just wasn't in the cards. After 40 minutes, Kelli was the first one off the treadmill, followed by Roger and Dan. Then Brittany couldn't go any longer and got off the treadmill 45 minutes into it. It was down to Ali versus the brothers Jay and Mark. Jay gave in after 56 minutes and then, after 1 hour and 5 minutes, Ali couldn't go on any longer either. Mark wins again. Oh I was cussing my TV so much!

Once everybody returned back to campus, Roger and Mark got into it about Mark apologizing for winning. That whole argument was stupid and I was glad that Bob finally broke in and told them it was a good time to go workout. After the last-chance workouts, it was time to weigh in.

Dan lost the highest percentage of weight this week and finally got below 200 pounds. Roger was right below him percentage-wise, having lost a staggering 121 pounds since the show began. Jay and Brittany didn't have such great weigh-ins though; both of them found themselves below the yellow line -- and I knew at that point which one of them would be going home.

Before the elimination ceremony, Brittany tried to explain to Dan that it would be best if he voted against Jay because Jay was a bigger threat to him. Dan realized that but it didn't change his vote. Roger, Dan, and then Ali voted for Brittany to go, and that was it. The other votes didn't even need to displayed. Back home, Brittany has continued to work out and has lost another 11 pounds in the three weeks she's been gone. She even went sky-diving; it was so much fun to see her enjoy the experience.

Next week, the silver tray at elimination will change the game and the two remaining women reach a big milestone. I wonder what that could be?

So what did you think about this week's episode? How did you think everybody looked after their makeovers? And what did you think about Brittany being eliminated?
