Biggest Loser Asia: Episode Eleven

Biggest Loser Asia: Episode 11 Recap

The episode began with all contestants returning to the living room, minus Christine.  Members kept talking about "red team" and "blue team," despite the fact that there were no longer official.  They all talked about the narrow margin of victory which separated the winners from the losers (Christine feel below the yellow line by one kilo).

Dave and Kristy encouraged all contestants to keep striving for the grand prize.  They responded with hard work in their next training session.

Kevin seemed especially motivated in training.  He had an in-depth talk with Kristy about his former lifestyle, which included a nightly pizza as a "midnight snack."   Kristy set a goal for Kevin and Carlo: to burn 3,000 calories a day.

The trainers decided to do a physical tests with the contestants.   They started with a bicep strength test.  Dave offered one thousand dollars to anyone would could beat his score.   Carlo managed to beat Dave's score, then Kevin beat Carlo's score to win the money. 

Kevin and Carlo had been complaining with joint pain, so Kristy took them through a pool workout. 

Kristy and Dave did another demonstration to motivate the contestants.  They showed them a physical model of one kilo of fat.  They proceeded to calculate the contestants weight loss and told them to visualize the kilos of fat they have lost so far.

The Challenge:
The contestants were given five minutes to see who could burn the highest number of calories.  Each had access to a station with equipment (weights, step, etc).  Most of the contestants did some form of stepping.  

The rivalry between Carlo and David came up again, as they were the top two in the contest.  Carlo did steps with a 25 kilo barbell on his shoulders--this turned out to be a great strategy--he won the challenge.   Carlo won immunity and and credits to buy clothes online.

Dave had the blue team members push him in a car as part of their training.  He and Kristy then trained all the contestants for one last session. 

The Weigh-in:
Most of the contestants lost 2-3 kilograms.  David remained in the number 1 position.  Kevin and Martha ended up below the yellow line (Martha had no weight loss).

The contestants all discussed the upcoming elimination vote.  Carlo advocated for Kevin, but the team loyalty remained strong among the contestants. 

Kristy stopped by to visit Kevin and encourage him.  She said she would be "disgusted" if he was eliminated.  Kevin wept at the thought of his impending elimination, but promised to keep losing weight no matter what.

Kevin and Carlo tried to talk to the blue team and plead his case.  The blue team discussed the matter privately, and some of the blue team members confessed to the difficulty they would have making this vote.

The vote came down to team loyalty.  Carlo voted for Martha, but all blue team members voted for Kevin--he was eliminated from the competition.
