This week on the Biggest Loser Ranch the contestants took off to Colorado to train with the Olympic athletes at the Olympic Training Center. As always there were some twists thrown in as Allison told the players they would be competing as individuals and that two people would be sent home.
Allison Jones, a Para-Olympian who competes in both the summer and winter games got things started off by letting each contestant carry the Olympic torch. Each person also received an autographed flag signed by each of the athletes who were training at the center.
The contestants were given the opportunity to train with Olympic skiers their first day. Guys and girls were treated to a brutal circuit training workout that left them completely exhausted. Olympic nutritionists were also on hand to show them the different types of meals the athletes eat.
This first challenge of the week consisted of each player sliding on a horizontal board that simulated a speed skating motion. The first person to 500 points would win. Sam got first place followed by Melissa and Sunshine. The top three were awarded medals for their efforts. The immunity challenge featured a biathlon style even where contestants had to run around an outdoor track and then shoot targets trying to eliminate other players. Surprisingly, Oneal brought home the victory and earned himself immunity.
Back on the ranch the players were nervous about the prospects of two people getting sent home. The person to fall below the red line would be sent home immediately, while the two people below the yellow would get to fight to stay. Red team member Melissa gained a pound and was sent home. Orange team Cheryl and Black team player Darryl fell below the line and were whisked away to a challenge to fight for their survival with the winner being revealed next week
