Biggest Loser Asia: Episode Seven

Biggest Loser Asia: Episode 7 Recap

The episode started with the blue team discussing Damietha's departure.  The consensus was her heart was not in the contest.  Dave praised the team member's for their weight loss accomplishments so far.

Kristy was pleased to see her team had won the weigh-in.  They celebrated their victory in the gym and Kristy urged them to keep training hard. 

Dave and the blue team were highly motivated for their next gym session.  The team members expressed their determination to win the next weigh-in.

All the contestants were visited by a dietitian.  She talked with the whole group at first and then consulted with individual members. 

The blue team cooked together after hearing from the dietitian.   They talked about missing Tony, who was in the hospital with kidney stones.  Dave went to the hospital to visit Tony and see how he was doing.  He was shocked at Tony's sickly appearance.  Tony said he had two kidney stones.

Christine was having problems with her knee during the next training session.  Kristy and her teammates were concerned that she wasn't putting enough effort into her training.

The blue team was disappointed to hear that Tony wasn't coming back immediately.  Dave used Tony's absence to motivate his team in the gym.

The Challenge:  This week's challenge was quite unusual--it was a "dance off."  Each team member had to face off with an opposing team member and dance for one minute.  The judges were a group of grade school kids.   Each team won two votes, so the tie-breaking dance-off was between David and Carlo.  David put on quite a show and secured the win for his team.   The winning team was treated to a massage. 

Kristy noticed that Kevin looked a little weak during the next gym session.  Kevin confessed to not eating his snack before the session.  Kristy gave him a sports drink, which perked him up.

Dave met with all of the contestants and talked them about his Body First books, which include training and nutrition information.  Carlo took one of Dave's recipies and began preparing a meal for the team.

Tony finally returned and his teammates received him warmly.  But he was unable to train with his team due to his weakened state.

The last chance workout was an obstacle course.  They showed video clips of the contestants' reflections on the competition (their video logs) along with their obstacle course training. 

The Weigh-In:  Most of the contestants lost 2 kg.  Carlo and David were once again the last two contestants to represent their teams.    David lost 4kg, which made him the competition's biggest loser so far and gave the blue team the victory (the blue team won by 1 kg).

The red team met and members discussed each other's performance.  The next scene was the elimination room.   Rashmi and Christine each received two votes, so Carlo had the deciding vote.  He voted for Rashmi, so she was eliminated from the competition. 

A little side note:  Hafiz revealed his crush on Christine during this episode.  It was first mentioned during the dance-off.
