Biggest Loser Season 3 episode 3

This week the biggest losers went on a cruise. This was a pretty fun episode to watch as there were a lot of things that people take for granted that were brought up. The biggest loser contestants went on a cruise ship and it was a classic vacation and answered one of those burning questions of “what happens once these people leave the ranch?” The answers were all there. First of all the cruise ship was empty except for the cast, crew and contestants and there was lots of food. It seemed that everyone was a bit nervous about being in a vacation atmosphere and for one team it was worse than the other.

First thing is exercise. All cruiseships have an exercise room that is used very little. Let’s face it most people ton vacation take time off of a diet and exercise. Bob Harper and Kim Lyons made it clear that if you are on vacation you can have a short intense workout and you will not have to worry about it for the rest of the day. The example that they used was circuit training. Circuit training with weight equipment does two things; it is a great cardio workout and is also good for working your muscle groups intensely like a weight workout.

Diet, this was a tough one as everyone loves a buffet. Bob Harper talked to his team about going around the buffet and asking questions before grabbing anything so that you do not eat a lot of high fat foods and then go for seconds. Kim Lyons said the best thing to use was a small plate because you will fill as big a plate as you have.

OK, so now what kind of challenge can you do on the love boat? How about a food delivery challenge to loved ones that are in various places on the boat? This was a fun challenge to watch and very emotional for the contestants and the loved ones. In the end the Red Team, Kim Lyons team won this challenge and got to spend the evening with the family member that came to visit leaving the Red team to just visit for a few minutes and then have yet another workout.

The winning may have been trouble for the Red team though when it came to the weight in. It seems that the bit of downtime that the Red team took definitely affected their weight loss as all of the members only lost 5-7 pounds and Bob Harpers Blue team smoked them at the weigh in. It was interesting this week, most of the time the weigh in is long and drawn out and most people hate this about the show but in this episode the weigh in was pretty quick.

There was a bit of drama at the eviction ceremony as the girls picked Wylie from Florida to be kicked out and the men picked Pam from Indiana to be kicked out but in the end the Blue team got to choose and picked the heaviest member of the team, Nelson from Massachusetts to leave.

It was really nice to be back to a one hour episode of the biggest loser as the two hour episodes really seem to be dragged out instead of having for entertainment value.

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.
