Biggest Loser Asia: Episode Twelve

Biggest Loser Asia: Episode 12 Recap

The episode began in the common living room with the contestants discussing Kevin's fate. They also encourage Martha to work harder since she didn't lose any weight at the last weigh-in. Carlo said he felt like a "marked man" since he was the last red team member remaining.

The trainers came in the next morning, and Kristy discovered Kevin had been voted off. Kristy was "angry" and "disappointed."

Kevin left a letter for Kristy, which Carlo gave to her. She became very emotional and pledged to help Carlo get to the next stage of the competition.

The trainers stayed with their former teams as if the blue/red teams still remained. Dave trained the former blue team members, and each of them talked about their goals for the week. Kristy spent time one-on-one with Carlo. She praised him for his accomplishments and encouraged him to make it to the finals. But she noted Carlo's disadvantage--he didn't have as much weight to lose as some of the other competitors.

The Immunity Challenge:
This week's challenge was a temptation challenge. Each contestant had a plate full of food hidden under a wooden platter--the first one to finish the food would have immunity. The bowl was full of a strawberry jelly desert containing over 2,000 calories. The contestants struggled with the sweetness of the dish. The contest came down to Marilyn and Carlo, with all others dropping out after. Marilyn won the challenge. Her prize was immunity and a helicopter tour of Malaysia.

The contestants continued training, knowing they were competing to stay above the yellow line. Carlo knew he would be voted off if he fell below it on the next weigh-in.

The contestants were then taken through a kickboxing workout. Professional Muay Thai trainers and fighters took them through a brutal workout.

Kristy talked to all the contestants about diet and showed them how to use the Biggest Loser website to look up recipes.

Kristy trained Carlo individually for his last chance workout. The former blue team members trained together and vowed to eliminate Carlo from the competition. Carlo said he had no regrets, since the competition has changed his life.

The Weigh-In:
Most of the contestants lost 3-4 kilograms, but David lost 6 (putting him at over 50 kilos lost and in the top position). Carlo weighed last, knowing he needed a big number to stay above the yellow line (and in the competition). He lost 9 kilograms, making him the biggest loser for the week. This put him in second place, right behind David. This put Tony and Martha below the yellow line (since Marilyn won immunity).

The contestants all discussed the upcoming vote. The former blue team members were clearly uncomfortable with being forced to eliminate one of their own.

Elimination Vote:
Carlo voted for Tony, arguing he was the greatest threat.  David voted for Martha, and Marilyn also voted for Tony.  Aaron had the final vote and chose Tony, which gave him three votes.  Tony was eliminated from the competition.  He exited gracefully, wishing well to the other contestants.
