Wednesday
Tonight was challenge night and boy it was a doozy! There was a little surprise in store for the winners and the losers. This time, the trainers were rewarded by being able to pick out who they wanted on their teams. Bob got to pick first and he put together a veritable powerhouse: Roger, Trent, Jay, Mark, Dan and Jackie. Jillian was less than pleased. There was no way of keeping track of how many obscenities streamed from her mouth as she let loose with some truly verbose anger. It’s not that Jillian has bad people on her team – it’s that Bob went and snatched away every big number loser on campus. But if we’ve learned anything, it’s that Jillian can make just about anybody shed pounds. We’ll see how she does with Bernie, Brittany, Paul, Kelly, Maggie and Jenn.

Thursday
Today was dark and all about the post challenge workouts. Jillian murdered her team with intense cardio. Jenn voiced happiness about her new team. She seems genuinely excited. Despite her usual reserved nature, Kelly confided to casting that she is afraid the blue team is going to pick off the black team one by one. Not sure it will be that extreme, but the black team certainly has their work cut out for them.

Friday
Jillian remained on campus with her team while Bob took his to 24 Hour Fitness for the first time. The entire Blue team was thrown a little off by working out in public after being sequestered on campus for so long. They seemed to enjoy it. A little bit later, Jillian took her team to 24 Hour Fitness as well. This morning was profoundly cold and wet and rainy – at least for southern California. The majority of the contestants were surprised by the weather. To quote Bernie: “What the hell, guys…isn’t this supposed to be LA?” Dan had an impressive nosebleed today. Tossed him out of commission for a couple of hours. It’s probably the drastic changes in weather.

Saturday
There was a temptation today that absolutely nobody went for. Temptations are good for the show, sure. They add a little drama to the day and sometimes offer valuable prizes that might help a contestant in their game strategy. But in all honesty, all of casting was very proud of them for resisting the soda temptation.

Sunday
Jillian took her team to hike at Runyon Canyon today for their last chance workout. Runyon is a notoriously grueling route. It’s always funny to see the Biggest Loser contestants pushed by Bob or Jillian into climbing on and on, even when your typical, chiseled LA gym rats are stopping and going back. Jillian took her people to the movies after hours and hours of work. It was greatly appreciated.

Monday
Weigh-in and elimination number five. Some impressive numbers were pulled tonight and there were a few close calls, but in the end it was Jenn who fell below and she was voted off. She was extremely sad. Jenn was definitely one of the contestants who wanted to stay as long as possible. Though Maggie is a very independent player, we wonder how this will impact her.
