Well, it looks like this was the one week it wasn't advantageous for Melissa to gain a pound. Unfortunately for Lance, his fellow red team member was automatically eliminated, but Melissa begged the remaining contestants to keep Lance in long enough so he can dip below 250 pounds. And after Melissa left the ranch, it looks like she did pretty well for herself: The red team member lost a total of 58 pounds, and is looking quite svelte these days. Or, as her son said in a moment his therapist will focus on for years to come, ''She looks hot!'' Holy Oedipus complex, Batman!
But, wait, there's still another elimination! Because this week was rhyming week, Cheryl and Darrell were the other two contestants who had to face walking off the ranch. In the spirit of competition, however, there would not be a vote to decide who would go. Nope, this week, Cheryl and Darrell would face off in one final competition. Hell yes! The only thing that would be better than a head-to-head elimination challenge is if we got to find out who won this challenge this week! But, yea, that's not going to happen. Figures. Though we won't find out who is leaving until next week, we left Cheryl and Darrell balancing giant torch stems on their heads, in an attempt to hold up an Olympic-like torch. Which one will blow their knees out first? I'd put my money on Darrell, if only because we saw him speak far more than Cheryl during this episode. And according to the reality TV Bible, that does not bode well for the black team member.
To be continued, fellow Biggest Loser fans. Are you happy that Melissa is gone? Who do you think will lose the elimination challenge? Are you still digging O'Neal? Were you inspired by the Olympians' stories? Were you bummed that Michael didn't break Rudy's record? Did you, like me, notice that Sam is starting to look jacked? And, finally, how are we feeling about Daris' beard? (And yes, for those of you who say he resembles Richard Simmons — you're right!)
