Second Chances on The Biggest Loser
The Biggest Loser, the season of "second chances" kicked off with a bang. Dan from season 7 returned for his second chance on campus which I think is great because as much as he needed to be there, he left last season so that his incredibly unmotivated partner could stay.
Anyway, before they even made it to campus the bus stops and they're told that they are going to have their first challenge right then. They're going to run the last mile of the BL marathon from the previous season. The winner will have immunity and get to choose their partner who will also have immunity. Dan ended up winning the race, no real surprise there since he's been working out for four hours a day for the last six months while the others have just begun. He chose Shay as his partner who is the biggest contestant now at 476 pounds. At the end of the race though two contestants, Mo and Tracy (later determined to be the purple team) are sent to the hospital. Tracy had to be medevaced out. Ali tells everyone that they will both return which Mo did by the end of the episode, Tracy had not.
Later on back on campus it's revealed that Bob and Jillian will be working together to train all of the contestants. I'm guessing Bob figured if he can't beat Jillian, join her. 5 minutes into the workout Shay quit but did decide to come back. At the weigh in, Mo weighed in alone but had lost enough to keep him and Tracy safe. The black team, Julio and Alexandra ended up falling below the yellow line with the majority sending Alexandra home.
While it was a pretty emotional episode, especially when Abby told her story of losing her husband and children in a car accident. (Yes, The Diva cried.) I enjoyed it. It's still early but so far they seem like a motivated and likeable bunch. What are everyone's thoughts?
