Recap #22 – Wednesday 28th Feb. – The first Temptation I’ve not been tempted by!

Would you be tempted by a gargantuan pig-out at a Sushi restaurant? No? Me either.

Are any of the contestants tempted? Read on to find out!

Red recounts the details of the minor challenge. Michelle says Mel was absolutely hardcore!
Mel thinks she’s cemented her place in the team.
“There is a closed circuit TV in the fridge room!” – Mel, telling Michelle what the deal with the mystery dvd is.
They also have the option of showing the Blue team the DVD if they want to.
“And I’m really embarassed because anything I’ve done, I’ve done to this team!” – Mel, to howls of laughter from everyone on her Red team.

Shannan says that of course for weightloss, diet is at least as important as exercise.

Red has agreed to let Blue watch.
Gerard’s the first theft, pinching some milk and a couple of strawberries for his breakfast. Apparently he was the only one to ever dip into the Red’s fridge from the Blue team! Go Blue!
Munnalita is next, looking for a lemon. And again, she’s peering around, seeing if anyone can see her, then nicking stuff.
Courtney, Marty and Greg also dug in, apparently.
Things were going along okay until they see Greg taking a whole tray of meat.
Damien has a bit of a go at him, because they only take enough meat out of the freezer for their dinner each time. Greg fires back that they shouldn’t be arguing over a bit of meat while many in the world are starving. He’s right, they shouldn’t be arguing, but you still shouldn’t steal their food, fool!
Greg doesn’t see a problem because they’re in a communal home and if their fridge is empty, you go to the other one!

Shannan seems fairly unimpressed with it all, saying it’s fairly indicative of the Red team’s attitude, always scamming, always got their hand in different pies. Blue team isn’t like that at all, they’re all pretty straight down the line.

And now it’s time for Temptation!
They were off at 5am for this, too.
It’s a trap! Sushi Restaurant! At 5am? Erk.

And wow, Ajay’s outfit actually looks nice today! Very nice aqua-blue. Is this the start of something good?

Gerard doesn’t like Jap food!

36 sushi snacks will go around and around on the sushi train. Underneath 6 are shiny shiny prizes.
$1,000 spring-free tramampoline! (Huh?)
DVD Player (Meh!)
Everdure BBQ worth $4,000! (Cooooool!)
5 relaxing massages (as one prize? (later it is confirmed it is one prize))
A make-a-dvd prize for your family! (Awesome!)
And, of course, Immunity. (Yawn.)

Marty says that Courtney and Munnalita need that immunity, because they’re slacking off, being meanie pooheads, etc etc. You’ve heard it all before.

Prizes, if any, will not be revealed until after the Temptation has been completed. “Oh, that’s nasty! That’s not fair!” – Courtney
Courtney’s going to play, he grabs… I have no idea what the hell it is. Comes with dipping sauce though. Looks nice, if only it wasn’t fish!

Gerard’s next to get offered a chance at picking a meal. He tells everyone he was just going to pick whatever came up first because they all look awful. P’eta says that he’s very much a meat and two veg kind of guy. And the first thing that comes up? “Fish eggs!” “You’re going to regret that, I tell you! I am being serious, it tastes like crap!” Helpful words of encouragement from Courtney!
Marty has a go as well, as does P’eta. Most of the snacks were light on calories so most of them have a go.
Greg had promised his wife he wouldn’t have a go at any immunity challenges, but because it was so light on calories he decided it didn’t count.

“For the first time in Biggest Loser history, everyone has decided to take Temptation.” – Ajay
“It’s Japanese food, it’s good for you, so why wouldn’t you?” – Courtney

There’s still prizes on the train. So for the next round, the rules change slightly. It’s now every man for themselves, anyone can grab a plate at any time they want as they move past.
Gerard’s not looking so eager, but he grabs up another plate. As does pretty much everyone else. Gerard looks like he’s going to throw it right back up though!
Pati’s kind of upset because everyone was up the other end so by the time the train rolls around to her, all the plates are gone. Mel even asks them if they can leave the last three plates for the last three people. But the greedy guts’ up the front of the line grab them all up.

All 36 plates ended up being taken, which means someone definitely has immunity!

And now Ajay reveals to them that only certain colour plates had anything under them. White had nothing under them, and Gerard whines that those were the ones with all the bad food on it!
Nothing under the orange plates either. All the prizes are under… the purple plates, yay!

P’eta is lucky enough to have two purple plates!
Courtney actually wants the BBQ… but gets THE TRAMAMPOLINE!
P’eta gets 5 massages and the DVD player. Dang. Munnalita’s trying to hide her smirk at that.
3 people left, still no immunity!
Greg gets… to make a dvd for his family! Yay!
Munnalita and Damien to go. Damn…

Munnalita gets… immunity? Damn damn damn!

Damien gets… The BBQ! And acts all shocked, even though it was a foregone conclusion. He was disappointed it wasn’t immunity, but he was still pretty stoked about a $4,000 BBQ!

Ajay tells Munnalita that her Walk will be the most shocking Walk ever! Oooooh!

Now Greg gets to make his DVD. They’ve given him a little handicam to do some happy snap style video footage of the House.
“This is Michelle the maseusse!”
“This is where I sleep!” – Shot of messy bed!
Shows his family… his family photos. Seriously. They’re all over the wall and he went to the effort of videotaping them for the people who are in the shots anyway…

Interspersed with this is footage of his family watching the DVD. Greg’s wife is a total babe!
Since the airplane challenge he’d been kind of blocking out thoughts of his family, because it was hurting too much. :-(
Next is a shot of his hand on camera… Without his engagement ring. Apparently he hasn’t taken that sucker off in 5 years because his fingers have been too swollen to get it off. Now that he’s finally losing some weight, he’s managed to get it back off his finger. You can still see the dent in his flesh from where it’s been though.
Mental note: never wear rings!
Greg’s Dad is watching the DVD with Greg’s wife and Greg’s two kids. He starts to tear up quite a bit. Awww!
Then Greg gets some footage of Damien. “Hello George, hello (something), hello Greg’s wife!” – Damien
Then Damien gets out the guitar and sings a sweet song for the dvd. Such a softie!

Next time on The Biggest Loser: Munnalita wanted immunity, but now she will make Biggest Loser history…
And then elimination is called? It seems like rather than having an “instant elimination” of one person, chosen by Munnalita, it will instead be an “all in” vote between BOTH teams. If so, the claws are going to be out on an epic scale!
At least it doesn’t sound quite so horrific as the spoilers were making out…

      Damn damn damn indeed! Bugger.

      So glad you do this, I was in front of it at 7.05pm and the phone rang, my son’s specialist, couldn’t hang up, lol. So I missed all the fridge video stuff!!
      I love sushi train. Too bad that Pati got none? a bit unfair.
      Greg seems like a good guy. LOL at Marty’s asides about Munnalita, she annoys him too.
      What a bummer Munnalita?? has immunity??? the worst result (apart from Courtney)-p.s here’s a mental image- Courtney, shirt off, hairy chest, big pink nipples…..jumping on a trampoline…….

    • Louise

      Nooooooooooooo! Munnalita can’t be eliminated! What is this world coming to! I was thinking… wouldn’t it suck if the rock says, eliminate a female from the red team!

    • Tara

      Greg’s wife IS a total babe. I reckon he’ll be pretty decent once he loses the weight and the beard, though, so it’s only fair ;)

    • http://mythor.net/thebiggestloser Mythor

      EWWWWWWWWWWW! Thanks for that Barbara. No sleep for me tonight! :-)

    • http://mythor.net/thebiggestloser Mythor

      Oh, yes, he used to look somewhat handsome back before he got fat. That’s when they got married, so he obviously got in while he could! :D
      Not sure he’ll shave the beard though? Jillian’s gone now and that was the best chance of getting him to take it off! :-(

    • http://mythor.net/thebiggestloser Mythor

      I’m hoping part of the twist will be that she can indeed be eliminated, but I doubt it.
      God only knows who they’d all vote for if it’s an all-in!

    • Tara

      I dunno. Perhaps he’ll do so of his own accord once he’s feeling a bit better about himself.

      Still, at least it’s not toooooo dorky a beard. There’ve been worse!

    • http://mythor.net/thebiggestloser Mythor

      Yeah, I’m not sure he’ll shave it himself, because it’s not an ugly beard really. Better than Michael’s, for example!
      Maybe Jillian will come back for a visit, that’d solve the problem. And be generally awesome!

    • Louise

      ok… my comment about it sucking if the rock says eliminate a female from the red team doesn’t make any sense (well it did to me at the time lol), i’m suffering from a bit of pregnancy brain atm and i was thinking that there was only 2 females on red, munnalita and mel… so if it said to eliminate a female from red then it would mean that mel would have to go… that was until i suddenly woke up at 4am this morning and thought hang on! Pati is on red too! *smacks forehead* duh! lol

      Blue Team are good and honourable. I like that about them. However, I just can’t help liking the Red Team. I loved it that almost every member stole stuff from the Blue fridge. I get what Greg was saying about it being a communal house, but he STOLE food. Red Team have their own food. If they take from the Blue fridge, it is not honourable.

      Munna-baby having immunity… well, sucks. Her nasal tone and question mark endings to sentences is working my last nerve. Every time they show her talking, I have the overwhelming urge to scream. I never really noticed it before, but last night it was all I heard.

      I officially hate The Walk. Stupid wanky piece of drama for what? I know that getting eliminated because of the Walk is going to suck big time for the person who get it. (PLEASE, let it be Gerard or Courtney, PLEASE!) It just fills time as far as I can tell because it holds no suspense for me.

      Oh, someone (can’t remember) actually said at the beginning of Temptation something about she didn’t know where they were going. I screamed at the TV, “It is Wednesday so it must be Temptation. Are you stupid or what?” Ugh.

    • Louise

      I keep wanting to call the show “big brother” and then remind myself it’s the biggest loser.

      It’s really a half hour of stating the obvious. “and then i walked over the bridge…” “we all sat in a row…” duh! not blind!

    • http://mythor.net/thebiggestloser Mythor

      Apparently what we’re seeing as a week on telly is not exactly a week for them. So it may actually have been Thursday or Tuesday or something for them, while they use the Temptation footage only for Wednesday shows.

    • lisa

      I am ho-hum about the beard, but the hair is a whole entity on its own. If he makes it to the Womans Day day hope they cut cut cut it!

    • lisa

      I really turned off Greg tonight. The way he tried to override a comment about the meat by saying that people are starving so get over it?? Huh? Plus he stood on his high moral ground last week waving his promise to his wife never to take part in temptation like a flag and last night what did he do??? What doesnt it count cause he was starving?

    • lisa

      BTW the worst person ever to get immunity! EVER! Moanalita. There is just no where to start with that girl.

    • http://mythor.net/thebiggestloser Mythor

      I think the starving comment was a reference to “The starving kids in Africa” rather than being self referential.
      He justified his participation in the Temptation by saying it was healthy food, rather than garbage like they’ve been “Tempted” by before.
      Still a pretty lame excuse though, yes!

    • susanjacobs

      Yes, I know. But you would think they would have caught onto this stuff by now. I don’t know. Maybe I am just cranky. Husband says that I have been cranky for, at least, 3 days now.

    • susanjacobs

      I don’t know. I was pretty disappointed when Courtney got immunity. But yeah, I wished she didn’t have it either.
